In 2025 the space wolf army box became the best selling 40K product of ALL TIME while the culture warriors on this app cried about black space wolves not being lore accurate. Which was also wrong. They have good meta + sick minis

Yeah, because most buyers are meta slaves. It’s not like GW doesn’t realize that the bulk of their sales actually come from collectors, painters, and casual players. Good effort though.

@tlark8 This is that whole “dude held all his forces in reserve, so his opponent slammed in so many deep strikers that he didn’t have anywhere to deploy units, instantly winning”, right?
English
LOL if you know the back story to this you should always laugh when you see it. Likely one of the funniest moments in war gaming tournaments

@abysssalsss So they’re some decentralized collective? Do they just naturally agree on everything and they never communicate with each other? Define what the left is
English
Sorry for the feed spam y'all I just got really tired of the culture wars in my hobby space. I just wanted to post I do not care how you play, or if you are conservative, just stop acting like you are the majority. In reality you are not. The majority are the ones that buy minis

Speaking about lore matters, you died on the hill of Chaplains, being always helmeted despite my telling you over and over that it's optional.
What's funny is that a while later, Warcom put out an article that featured official models that include unhelmeted chaplains:
warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles…
I demand that you not talk about the lore. You have no respect for it. Rather than going by the primary sources, you are a wiki warrior. You throw tantrums and insults if someone disagrees with you, rather than being respectful. An utterly embarrassing childish demeanor
Worst of all, you push culture warrior crap.
You are tourist scum, who is a plague on the famdom.
*Mic drop*

the entire franchise exist solely because it has lore that allows it to exist,
the miniatures look the way they do because they are described by lore,
the games are based on characters and world building of the lore,
all art, armor, vehicles, cities, planets, gods, characters, from all species and cultures human or otherwise in 40k, is because of the lore,
as well as the plot its self and the scenes of events in the franchise are the way they are from lore.
with out lore you dont have sanguineous, horus, or any other primarcs and their stories or their sons, you dont have the chaos gods or the emperor of mankind, or eldar, necron or tyranids, or anything else.
with out lore there is no warhammer 40k,
the stories and world building from the lore is what allows the world of 40k and everything in it to exist,
and if you dont like 40k lore or reject its lore continuity,
than why pretend to be a 40k fan?

This stream was a dumpster fire, I don't know why lore questions even made it in.

@BluntScrumcher @mobius_b Oh i remember. He also thought “means of production” == “mass production”
English
@Ken_Gee_Draws @Reclusiarch101 @CakelatteStuff Best selling 40K box of all time was the recent space wolf army box. It has sick brand new sculpts and the SW have very viable meta. Zero people cared about the minority culture warriors crying about “lore inaccurate black space wolves”
English
@Reclusiarch101 @CakelatteStuff @tlark8 Bro asked AI because he wasn’t around when the box set released

I’m a tourist that’s played war games for 35+ years. I’ve likely spent multiple 10s of thousands of dollars over that time. I’ve played leagues, campaigns + tourneys. Even won a few. I can tell you ppl who play most likely buy minis based on meta not the lore.
Jonathan Aylmer@AylmerJonathan
@tlark8 You have to be a giant fucking tourist to think mini sales are anything without the lore. A GW is a wildly overpriced toy compared to a real model tank. A Space Marine tank is super cool and people will pay what they ask.
English
@CakelatteStuff @Reclusiarch101 My homie who’s a BT player swapped back to his nids when a data sheet & game balance update nerfed them lol. He rotates through his armies based on which one has the best current meta. I think he has 3-4 armies
English
@Reclusiarch101 @tlark8 And meta does drive sales lmao, everyone and their mom suddently had a harlequin army when that was hot shit, or an iron hands one, or a nid force. When shit is hot, the 2nd hand market overprices itself, and when its nerfed you can buy armies for crumbs
English
@SnowmanMcK @Git_Stompa @Emps_rex Ah so WHFB likely around 4E at that time I’d guess. Thanks I’ll see if I can find it
English
@tlark8 @Git_Stompa @Emps_rex No idea. Basically, tournament player had built a skaven army that year and played against a guy who’d had the same dwarf army for decades. The skaven player crushed him and the post script made the point that the skaven guy had built his army to win, while the other told a story
English
Do you like losing every game you play? This is just more proof of your projection calling actual gamers tourists while likely not even understating how the game works. Even if you hate the lore you should still know that intercessors are superior on the tabletop.

@faithandheresy @mobius_b If 40K the game were lore accurate every IoM player could only ever field Imperial Guard and maybe if they’re lucky they’d get 1 squad of space marines, maybe an inquisitor, and zero Custodes.
English
@mobius_b This is not a lore centric franchise because you are not reenacting famous battles in Warhammer 40K, nor are you having to carefully align your models with reference data on their livery and time period.
English
@VortexchenX2 Ah not sure if I knew that or not. Nice additional lore add though
English
@SnowmanMcK @Git_Stompa @Emps_rex Do you recall the issue? I’m curious to read it if I can find a scan of it
English
@Git_Stompa @Emps_rex @tlark8 there was a decent analysis of the gap after an extremely one sided battle report in a white dwarf in...1999 or so.
English
@geekedou @abysssalsss Yup and the political illiteracy makes it not even worth engaging on. Like people who say they hate liberalism and then you ask classic or progressive and they say both. LOL our constitution is literally developed from classic liberalism
English
@abysssalsss @tlark8 Thats not true tho. You've just go so far in one direction someone who doesn't care is seen as the opposing side.
English
@abysssalsss Who are they? What political group of communists have any fucking power? Name them. Also explain what communism is. As a side effect of the culture wars I’ve observed how politically illiterate people are. You likely hate progressive liberals b/c there is no actual left
English
@tlark8 While it wasn’t nearly as customizable and it belonged to the worst edition of 40k, Assault on Black Reach had absolute aura.
English
I remember this box and still have some RTOB1 marines. I agree with this sentiment. What hooked me at first was the art. Especially the old gritty black and white art. The minis were definitely my main focus but the old school art was a close second.
Artists Empire@ArtistsEmpire
Lore vs miniatures is trending! Interesting warhammer debate. It was art and design first. If the art/design was lame no one would care about the minis or lore. This is what I saw on shelf when I started playing and there was nothing like it. That’s what grabbed you.
English
@abysssalsss What leftists? See this is the problem. There aren’t really any leftist groups. We have at best progressive liberals in the US which are actually center or left of center. Everyone is a clastic liberal since our country is founded upon classic liberal ideology
English
@BrokenSerenity @Chainsword40k Ya I min/maxed my orlocks I’ll admit you could level up a pretty broken gang leader in that game
English
@tlark8 @Chainsword40k best part is he hated the nickname we gave his prized miniature lol guy asked for it given how much he cheesed the rules with his gang to get stuff the rest of us struggled to get...we also nicknamed two of his juve models beavis ad butthead lol
English
@chuck717717 @TimothyImholt Totally agree that we need to move away from residential property being an investment asset and shift toward a basic need.
English
@TimothyImholt The best way is to stop the interference from speculators and corporations and let it be nothing but homes and homeowners. I saw that shit in the late 90's and early 2000's. That was insane.

@The_Noise_13 That idiot is publicly racist af on this site he’s the minority in like everything. Plus he’s a garbage lowlife net negative to society
