            You think Tolkien put that in because it's childish? Look at the context and what the story is trying to show you. Gleeful Hobbit songs are contrasted with the horrible quest that awaits them and the shellshock of going from the Shire to experiencing war. It is no doubt inspired by Tolkien's experiences in WW1. I think you're calling it childish because you've seen other anons post that meme of an assessment

    Because the board game was an overly bloated mess that GW couldn't scale back due to rampant autism of the people.

      It's because there's shithead tournament organizers who insist on 2000 point tournies because god forbid your army doesn't have every single angle covered, and they have the ear of GW.

      It got to the point they shrank table sizes in 9th ed. 40k to postage stamps because tourneygays wanted to fit more people in a convention hall without hiring extra rooms. Every single person on the Warhammer Competive subreddit agrees the game plays better at 1000 or 1500 on the new "standard" tables but they stick with 2000 because "It's the official format."

      Mordheim was the worst rules as written published by GW until Necromunda 2017, and required knowledge of Necromunda and 2nd edition 40k to patch holes in the rules.

        I didn't make that image, had I made it I would have used Rick Priestley to better illustrate the level of difference between old and new rulebook writers. That being said, I disagree with your assessment of Mordheim entirely. At no point in my nearly 20 years of playing Mordheim have I ever stopped and asked myself "should I consult the 40k2e rulebook?" and I can't even begin to fathom what you mean by suggesting somebody do so.

    At the end of its lifespan Fantasy was a bloated piece of shit with horrible rules (and I'm talking straight up unplayable rules) that nobody bought.

Probably not, but any time some secondary ousts themselves as being a Fantasy fan because they played TTW and thinks that will translate in any way to tabletop success they have no idea what they're fricking talking about.

      The only way TOW will succeed is if they go back to an early edition of WHFB like 4th or 5th. If they change it back to 8th edition it'll die just as hard as before.

    Fantasy worlds are inherently easier to sell to an audience. Sci-fi requires good writers build a world that's interesting on top of stories that don't destroy the image of that world, but fantasy doesn't need an interesting world - just interesting tools for the characters inside that world to use.

    This came up in another thread but I think it's an interesting topic: Would it be good for the hobby if there was a straight up 40k/Kill Team/AoS/Fantasy Battle vidya adaptations?
    People argue GW doesn't do it because it's less profitable thatn selling minis and rulebooks but they could and would 100% israelite the frick out of it and sell lootboxes with accessories for HQs and color schemes for individual units or have a battlepass or sell you each base roster separately then charge for more units. What I'm interested in is if that would get more people to play the tabletop game or if they're just gonna go "Well no point buying into the videogame AND the minis and it's easier to just play online than meetup" and it would end up hurting the TTG scene.
    An obvious comparison would be Yugioh and Master Duel but that's a lot less niche than Warhammer and it's also much easier to get games going irl since you don't have to commit to 3-5 hours for one game, you don't need a big ass table and a deck fits into your pocket while a 2000 point army requires multiple expensive carrying cases.

      On tabletop these games have X-COM levels of RNG swings and it's tolerable there because players can lean on the narrative power fantasy shit Warhammer is full of. Most games are played only to serve as a palette for the imagination of what's really going on in the battle.

      The blackpill of Warhammer is when you remove the human interaction on live play and dramatic RNG moments, painting and building, what's underneath is a very subpar game. The strategy isn't very deep, often there's a "correct way" to play and you're really only ever leveraging how well those dice are going to behave.

      It would take precisely ten minutes for a video game adaptation to lock into a meta and endless crying why *my* faction deserves a boost and his a nerf. It just won't work.

      GW would never allow that because their entire business model is forcing people to shell out hundreds of dollars for plastic toy soldiers. Allowing any kind of virtual competition to that business model would kill the tabletop game.
      It's actually why TWW has so much freedom. Because the Old World is dead, GW stopped caring. But now people care about the Old World again, so GW thinks it can cash in - but I'm not going to fricking give GW a single penny just so I can have some toy soldiers to play with.

        How come they let it happen for Bloodbowl? I get that BB was never as profitable as 40k or FB but they're selling Bloodbowl miniatures and rulebooks so it must be doing at least somewhat well.

          Literally the reason.
          Bloodbowl was what GW refers to as a "specialist game". A limited run production, for a minority of enthusiasts. But a video game can produce infinite copies and appeal to a wider audience. It's not rocket science to understand why GW allows it but not a full 40k adaptation.

            But it's not limited. They're still selling them and making new models and rulebooks for it. Multiple people from my ttg group still keep up with and play it. Also if that was the case wouldn't that mean that making a Fantasy Battle game would be fine now?

    >How does it do it? Is Warhammer Fantasy just that good?
    There was a previous attempt with Mark of Chaos, which outside it's units visual customization and cinematic trailer, is a fairly mediocre and forgettable game.
    The issue is GW didn't often put a lot of effort into the license compared to 40k, especially later on in it's life.
    Warhammer Fantasy is a relatively straightforward setting, with some interesting deviations from typical fantasy, compared to, yet again, 40k.
    The issue is at the end of the day, GW didn't really know what do with it as a whole for sometime, so they attempted to reset it by making it a bit more like 40k. In doing so they failed to realize Fantasy's setting actually has a genuine appeal to it.
    It's not as grand as it's sibling franchise, but it's strangely more down to earth.

        I'm less referring to the larger themes and more of the particulars.
        Let's use the Empire as an example. Typically the lead human faction is some form of absolute monarchy in roughly the High Medieval period.
        The Empire is an electoral monarchy in the late Renaissance or very early Modern era.
        It's more surface level then not, but it's enough of difference from the norm it's noticeable.

      1.) Takes away the 16th century grimdark messy feel of WHFB that was fairly unique for fantasy settings for more gold and shiny World of Warcraft aesthetics
      2.) Everything is about gods and dimensions, when WHFB was relatively grounded and Gods were distant unseen forces.
      3.) WHFB had a well-developed world and history with lots of lore. AoS has little lore and is just "anything goes". Lord Blah blah throwaway daemon prince invades the blah blah fortress of the blipbloop realm and the battle is never heard from again. There are no in-universe boundaries or regulations. You used to have to explain why Lizardmen were appearing in Nehekhara and it required some sense of internal consistency. With AoS, everyone is everywhere. The "big world, long journey" aspect of Warhammer is dead when everyone teleports around dimensions.
      4.) The models look stupid and often have moronic names (i.e. Orcs are Orruks, Lizardmen are Seraphon, Ogres are Ogors, Dwarfs are Hearthkyn or some shit.
      5.) It wanks Chaos and basically makes it the big-bad. Nagash and Malekith went from world-ending threats to other gods that get along with Sigmar for the most part. Orcs and Ogres (ahem, Orruks and Ogors) are just annoyances. Undead are goodguys more often than not. Everybody really just waits to fight Chaos or has minor skirmishes without them. Unfortunately 40k is just becoming the same thing
      6.) Nothing feels like it matters by having 9 different dimensions of cosmic bullshit instead of grounded towns, villages, countries with relatable histories and borders.

      I'm not sure how the gameplay itself is, though I hear it's more simplified and streamlined than WHFB. However the lore is the main problem. You used to be able to get lost reading Warhammer Fantasy lore for hours whereas you can know about Age of Sigmar's with a quick skim.

        Anon please what the frick this hasn't been true since Nagash tried to kill everyone and everything (again). The Orcs are also the main spearhead against Chaos since its their not!Grimgor thats smashing into the Eight Points.
        But you're right about Ogres. Which sucks since I play them. They should be allowed to ally in with every other faction because maneaters but we're stuck off on our own with half of our models still incredibly shitty.

        this makes sense to me. Elves, Dwarfs and Men would get along fine. Dark Elves would do some cheeky raids to gather slaves and resources but never all out war with others. just kinda poking the bear type stuff. Lizardmen dont leave their shitty Jurrassic Park island. too busy playing Go Fish and having gay lizardman sex with each other in the spawning pools. than to actually follow up on the Old Gods initial plan to holocaust all the warm bloods and even if they TRIED their shit would get wrecked immediately and they probably know this (without the help of Mazdamundi). If anything they would just enter a tenuous agreement with them to keep away from each other. you get THAT half of the world and we get THIS half.

        Orcs and Gobs gonna be Orcs and Gobs.
        Tree Elves LITERALLY want NOTHING to do with anyone.
        Undead arent really a problem. Stay the frick out of the Nehekhara lol. Its not like theyre leaving those dunes anytime soon.

        which just leaves Chaos to start shit up every now and then. Every Faction in Warhammer really just plays borderpatrol for the most part. Its not like the Imperium of Man feels the need to march upon the enemy and most places outside of their borders are uninhabitable shitlands for one reason or another (yeah bros. lets sail across the sea and march into the Frozen waste to fight these mutant demon monsters and 10IQ cannibal savages!). Realistically why wouldnt you as a Bretonnian stay home and sip tea with your High-Elf bro talking about the history fine arts?

      Adding to what other anons said, it had a horrible launch.
      1 - the game was filled with these "fun" real-life things you could do. If you charged with a certain unit and, in real life, shouted something your units would charge a bit further.
      2 - no fricking point system. Normally you battle against someone else and you each have an army worth, say, 2000 points. Here there were no points. Anything went as long as your opponent agreed.
      Both these things where hated by the people who played Warhammer. It was changed later on, but it left a very bad first impression.

      The good news is while you're playing the best DoW game, you're enjoying the worst expansion. Once you've completed the expansions, if you want more 40k install the ultimate apocalypse mod for DoW. It adds _everything_ into the game, even titans.

          Don't listen to this doomer from 2018. It actually runs fine. It's a huge mod, because the 40k universe itself contains a huge (some say bloated) amount of different factions and units. It's a patchwork job, but it's the best 40k you're going to get.

        Apocalypse is good but I'd also suggest unification mod. It has a lot of new armies, like space marine chapters are done as a separate faction and are done quite well. I quite enjoyed playing as a chapter then reading up on it online. That and it has a very fun survival mode where you can pick any race for the horde. AI is also pretty decent there, I had AI horde rush rush transports, with suicide bombers inside ,through my defensive wall and doing their damnedest to Allahu Akbar my HQ at some point which was quite funny. That and you'll shit your pants when IG suddenly sends 4-5 baneblades on your ass. It has titans too, if very basic, but I'd highly recommend it if you like single player content.

      It helps that the Empire in fantasy actually has a belief in an afterlife, a good one with Sigmar watching over them giving them the courage to charge towards a line of hulking Greenskins and Chaos warriors unafraid, not the moronic le grimdark horseshit from 40k.

    Fantasy mogs 40k because 40k, despite being this vast and diverse setting, is ludicrously one note. 90% of attention in 40k goes towards the Imperium and 90% of that attention goes to Space Marines. So while in Fantasy, you get an actual diversity of stories and rivalries and factions fleshed out, in 40k you have yet another Space Marine chapter that yet again knows no feat, yet again screams about courage and brotherhood and yet again has no interactions with the wider setting, other then "die heretic." Its just stale. And it became even worse with the Primarchs, because the already overwhelming 90% space marine focus was elevated to a 95%. So if you happened to like anything other then Space Marines or the Imperium, you´re in for a bad, baaaaaad experience.

    40k also suffers from having absolutely no sense of place. Quite recently, you had this big narrative event at a place called Malakbael, where Angron fought over some planet we never heard off before (and never will again), for some second, newly discovered astronomicon (we never heard of it before and never will hear of it again), to destroy some crusade fleet (full of characters we, again, never heard of before and never will hear of again.) So you got this totally random mega event and... you dont even know WHERE it took place. Like, what was next to Malakbael? Whats to its left? Whats above it? There is some random line about some blood-curse drove thousands of planets into madness, yet you have no fricking idea where that happened. It could have been anywhere. And since you lack any direction or place, the entire story is totally inconsequential.

    Thats not the case in Fantasy. If Be´lakor swoops in from Norsca to ravage Middenheim and spread a chaos curse, you know exactly where it took place. You know where Norsca is. You know where Middenheim is. You know the way of travel from Norsca to Middenheim. You know what is left and right and south of Middenheim, so you have a sense of place and area that is affected by this story. And that makes it feel like it isnt so god damn inconsequential, but an actual big narrative event with actual consequences.

    TWW is excellent because they extensively represent all of the major factions of WHFB in a way that feels almost like a fan project, and if you choose any faction (that isn't Chaos Daemons), you'll be able to play with a full roster of units that permit many different playstyles and forms of expression while fighting dozens of other factions. It's crazy how much shit you can encounter and do in Immortal Empires because there's tons of pieces they let you play with (just make sure to pirate literally everything and never pay a fricking cent for their ridiculous DLC train).

    Conversely, in every single 40K game being made nowadays, the focal point is some singular faction fighting against 2-3 other factions, Chaos will literally 100% always be represented in some way as the "main" villain, and you will almost assuredly wind up either playing as, temporarily allying with, or generally supporting Space Marines. You'll never see the diverse range of armies, units, factions, subfactions, etc. in a 40K game because it will always be the same fricking Astartes/Orkz/Chaos rotation they just love to force into every fricking game. For a franchise that's swollen with possibility, they earnestly treat it no better than Star Wars.

If GW wasn't helmed by complete morons, they'd know how easy it would be to make a game that plays nothing similar to 40K, but still represents all of the factions, and use it as an advertisement for the game.

    The only way I can enjoy 40k is something like the fan made Astartes videos. Cut out all that cringe reddit bullshit dialogue, hero theatrics and the chorus music and just show soldiers being fricking soldiers without a fifteen minute monologue. Space Marines CAN be cool, if thry didn't have this horrendous reputation about them and just acted like MARINES.

      Early-mid game you basically pretend you're playing Medieval 2 with combined arms. Peasants to hold the line, arrows to soften up enemies, trebuchets to have some actual threat in your non mobile army, and at least 4 cavalry to actually win you the battle, do hammer and anvil. Late game you just say frick it and mass cavalry, grail guardians make a very good anvil despite also being cavalry. Or you can go full memestack with hyppogriff knights and just faceroll all the unchivalrous shits.

              They also have something similar to Steam Tanks, but its stats haven't been shown off yet. I brought up Hellcannons because we know what they do already.
              So far it seems like Chaos Dwarfs have much less range than Dwarfs, but much higher firepower when in range, and they rely on their added mobility with Bull Centaurs and huge amounts of chaff to enable them to position. Blunderbusses are basically just Iron Hail Gunners.

    40k was better because for year it had:
    >less models
    >better models
    >easier rules
    Overall, this made it much easier for casuals to get into.

    Lorewise, they're about equal in that "I cribbed the entire section of fantasy/scifi books, please don't notice." Fun people claiming they're amazing need to read more books.

      They're unironically better than space marines, especially now that they've fixed their proportions. Their respawn mechanic has interesting consequences in the lore. Where 40k marines are just
      >the best of the best! a squad of marines can solo an ork army without any casualties!
      The sigmarines have been conditioned to fight like its team death match. They are really fricking bad at strategy and win the day through their tactics and heavy use of reforging. Its their greatest strength, being able to just hit redo on any fight they lose over and over until they win.
      But their greatest strength is also their greatest weakness and every death strips pieces of their minds and souls away until they're nothing but empty husks, and since they keep abusing the respawn mechanic they're racing faster and faster towards a fate they'll never be able to recover from.
      Its a nice little metaphor for the dehumanising nature of war that I didnt expect from AoS but there it is.

    They had an early concept regarding Stormcast which was actually quite interesting and could have been developed as time goes on which was that a Stormcasts soul wasn't necessarily a former human and that Sigmar had also had the spirits of dawi, elves and even orcs and made them Stormcast troops. This aspect was dropped early on since they had to do the 'Helmets off' thing and show hey there's a human of all color and gender underneath.

    The new Age of Sigmar Saurus Warriors clash with the old Lizardmen lore a bit.

    The fact is, 6th edition (and onward) Lizardmen had no access to hard metal, they used for their weapons and spears a material called "Obsinite" which is a rock. You can see that the 'Eavy Metal painted Saurus Warriors of old and the Total War Saurus Warriors don't have metal tips on their spear for this reason.

    They only had access to soft metal like gold, and they used it for decorations, rings, necklaces, amulets, trimming.

    The Age of Sigmar Saurus Warriors on the other hand rely on hard metal for their new shield, and even their weapons and their banner look like they have "hard metal" parts of some kind of iron/steel

        They included the fricking Fimir, an ancient monster race that's pre-Heroquest era GW. If anything killed fantasy it was how GW took expection to people taking few models with massive point costs and just enough necessary units to satisfy the rules. It became a game balanced around making huge "tar-pit" armies, which sold more models and paint overall, and was laborious when trying to resolve combat. It's still reflected in the video-game, many factions still have glorified mobs of cannon-fodder whose only job is to hold up the opposing army up while it's main damage dealers (magic, artillery, monstrous units, cavalry etc.) do the killing.

              It's a spooky ghost chariot with actual ghosts swirling around it, it actually flies instead of just being a regular carriage and the whole model has a sense of movement to it, unlike the old one. Look at the cloth by the windows, for example. On the old one, they're static, in the new one, it has wind blowing in them and making them move. The horses look like skeletal horses with proper skulls, they're actually far less cartoony than the old one's skulls. The wood on the carriage has actual sculpted texture rather than a flat surface. The rider has a more detailed and better sculpted weapon, which he also holds in a better pose, with the weapon lifted up in a resting pose as he drives the carriage, rather than the awkward downward positioning of the old one's scythe. There's more, but you should be getting the idea here.

                VC barely had a handful of ghost units like spirit hosts and banshees. AoS is the one that made an actual army out of it with a new aesthetic, the new aesthetic the coach is now a part of.
                You have no point beyond old good new bad.

                The old one conveyed it better. We were 9 years old when this was released and we understood precisely what it was.

                It's literally just a normal coach with skeleton horses. How does this portray "incorporeal ghost unit" in any way whatsoever in the necromancer army that raises skeletons form the grave? You people are so full of shit.

                Not him but how is this a bad thing? VC were a varied army because they had a couple units for various popular undead tropes, namely skeles and zombies, ghouls and straight up ghosts. Splitting that up and just expanding each category so you can get enough units for 3 one-note armies did nothing for them.

                You see, it creates division and forces you to buy three armybooks instead of one for starters. Furthermore, GW can israelite you out and spread the amount of miniatures you need to buy in order to play these separated factions if you adhere to their Hasidic rulebooks and armylists.
                This is made even more pathetic that the "ghost army" is literally only that, the same cloaked ghost iterated 30 different times. Oh wait, there's one vaguely female ghost, so there is some variation actually.

                That's not how it works, idiot. These are not armies you play as a soup mishmash. And in fact if you did play soup you'd just need their warscrolls from the website and generic Death army ruleset.
                The multiple books thing comes from supplementary material like campaign books, White Dwarf updates and Chapter approved. It's more of a 40K problem really.

                >WOOW HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW?!
                You should maybe use those language learning chat AIs to explain to you what "indication" is and how normal non-autistic human beings observe and deduce things.
                The original Coach is an excellent npc filter because the supernaturality isn't overtly stated like it's cereal box revisioning. First of all, it appears like one of the carriages the native regal Sylvanian humans used. This is juxtaposed with the carriage being pulled by undead horses. And at it's helm sits the necromancer, subdued, yet clearly menacing and dangerous. Notice how he doesn't have to yell 'BOO' in order to communicate that he is indeed associated with something heinous. The macabre display is further driven by the impaled corpse - now decayed into mere skeletal remains - hoisted on top of the carriage almost to taunt the mortal men who lay eyes on this wagon. The more observant viewer might recognize the unholy insignias tattered across the sides along with the open (or closed) casket containing a sleeping vampire.

                I challenge you to even attempt to put together three sentences describing what you prefer about the nu-male version.

                , you probably can guess who I agree with more.

                I think where we go separate ways is you appear to enjoy models that seem to explicitly tell you what they are. Their character and properties need to be heavily stated, lest you only see it as a boring ordinary carriage.

                My mind sees these miniatures from a completely different point of view - I don't observe them as if they're meant to be composed to impress me. Instead, I'm supposed to view them, as they would behave and appear in their natural environment, and let my imagination instead imagine the story of the Coach. On an ordinary march, it probably would travel along the roads of Sylvania masquerading as an ordinary carriage, only revealing it's true undead magical nature if necessary. To me, this makes the old design appear in fact MORE menacing and intriguing than the Marvel superhero shit on the right.

      The Empire is also diplomatically active, maintaining good relations with almost all the major powers, somehow managing to stay on the good side of both Dwarfs AND Elves at the same time.
      Also, the Empire has the favor of multiple gods. There's the obvious ones like Sigmar and Ulrich, but there's also Morr (AKA Usirian), who has a dedicated following within the empire, along with many other gods, Shallya, and several other minor dieties.

            warp lighting cannons are just a warpstone attached to the end of a barrel

            True, but Sk*ven tech is so notoriously unreliable it may as well not matter, they win their battles through sheer numbers generally because the weapons teams blow themselves up

            Saying Skaven have harnessed Warp Lightning is ridiculous. Skaven have found ways to induce warp lightning and make it kill everything in the general vicinity, themselves included.

      "Human" in sci-fi and fantasy timelines aren't the same. Fantasy ones were crafted by Old Ones, 40k evolved from monkeys. For comparison here is what elite super soldier from 40k looks like next to a random fantasy barbarian dude

        Weak bait. That's an old marine model rather than a primaris marine compared to a huge hero unit much larger than regular khorne infantry.

    All I care about is that after a mountain of DLC Chaos Warriors still can't carry halberds with shields and use their great weapon animations for them.

    How many DLC does CA need to make an actual animation set for a single unit?

      There's no fixing WoC. The engine CA uses will never do them justice. They will always look and feel dumb.

      Halberds are two handed weapons in Warhammer Fantasy Battles, you can't use both in combat at the same time

        What are you talking about, of course you can, temple guards can too (and they in fact carry both halberds and shields ingame)

    The game is so pretty and they try to draw so much focus on the coolness of the animations but I honestly have zero chance to focus on any of it because I am too busy being trash at the fricking campaign and I have to spend way too much time putting out fires in my battles to ever be able to concentrate on how cool my units look fighting

    So seeing the autistic meltdown of the sperg defending AoS I went and checked it out.
    Is itnsafe to say it's just WHF through a Marvel capeshit filter? That's the vibe I'm getting browsing the miniatures.
