Slambo is back

It's new zealand. He's probably gonna clock in at around 29 USD

He's barely 45 IIRC. And a pretty decent dude at that. Someone here said he gladly accepted a beer when he visited the HQ and turned out to be a really cool bloke, hobbyist at heart.

Here's his warscroll

This motherfucker right here is responsible for GW turning over a new leaf lately. Better deals, returning of specialist games, reopening with the community, more frequent FAQs, pretty much damage control on everything that asshole "we are not a game company" kirby did.

I tip my fedora to you, sir. (metaphorically of course, i don't wear a fedora)

>Wow, someone went all out on that mirro- oh.

personally I'm pretty unhappy with the way the meta-plot has been going, and I'm still mourning the death of WHFB, but I'm very impressed with the business decisions that GW have been making. Everything seems focused on making the hobby easier on newbies, while still throwing bones for us grognards in terms of specialist games and community engagement.

>death of WHFB
It lives and it's called AoS. If it's the old rules you're mourning, well, my condolences, but I don't.

>tfw too intelligent for age of shitmar
why did fantasy have to die for this retarded cancer?

Fantasy players were too intelligent to buy models.

and you feel the need to announce your hatred at every turn? let it go user

The lore is pretty different too, you know.

Setting kill is kind of a big deal. Maybe a spin off.

But making the hordes of models GW basically force the players into with shitty rules since sixth edition pointless is a dick move.

Maybe if the bastard actually try of fixing the game instead of pushing cash grabs and idiotic rules AoS could exist today as an spinoff like a fantasy version of kill team.

You can't expect your consumer to keep up with ever bigger armies while also making each box with less models and more expensive.

come on now, the fluff and setting of AoS and WHFB are different worlds.
I can still play in it, I can still have games of (glorious 6th ed) WHFB, but that doesn't mean that the game WHFB has been killed and replaced with AoS.

Age of Sigmar has more tactical depth though.

You can still play fantasy mate, agreed that AOS lore is weak right now but at least you got your closure rather than another 5 years in limbo like pre end times, you had fair warning of what was to come mate. I miss old world lore as much as the next guy but there's other games out there to play, the lore's still there to read and let's face it, a lot of end times stuff was shit anyway. At least the setting we love had a proper send off y'know? No one has taken away from it and at least it didn't continue the slow drift into obscurity.

Does it? Never played WHFB but Age of Sigmar seems a bit shallow honestly, it's my first wargame and I've moved on since. It feels balanced compared to what I play now but without a good scenario it does just turn into a moshpit like everyone criticises it for. I don't hate it and it's good to bash out a few rounds in with smaller armies but I don't think it works too well unless you put a lot of effort into building on the setting through scenarios and special rules and stuff at which point you can just play a more in depth system and not have to worry with the hassle.

Still playing and building my forces though, it's got it's pros and cons just like anything else.

Oh well, it's become an anti-AoS shitposting thread.

I'm outta here.

>Does it?

It doesn't. It's a meme AoS players trot out when their game is mentioned outside of its designated ghetto of a general thread.

I'm super tired so don't jump down my throat for the inconsistencies lads, what I meant to say was it's not my main game anymore, that's how I've moved on, I still play it 'on the side' though.

Fair enough, the hatred for it seems so stupid though, it's just a game, it might not be amazing but we all knew that Fantasy was on it's way out.

After playing my first few 40k and Warmachine games I had a bit of a system shock though, it felt like I had so many more options than usual. Still love Sigmar for how easy it is to relax with, I can have a game going in the background with some mates at mine while we grab some beers and chat shit for a few hours, it's nice in that way where I don't feel I could do that with other games, maybe I just don't know the rules properly yet though.

People who call simplistic systems shallow simply have no talent for naturally mining tactical depth themselves. Checkers only has two possible movements, yet it has plenty of tactical depth.

What AoS lacks compared to WHFB was the depth of its lore, scope, and strategies. AoS is like one giant skirmish. It's not its fault that players just tend to allow the game state to result in a giant dog pile. WHFB was about grand sweeping regiments.

Checkers is a solved game. Can something have tactical depth if it is solved?

Not really relevant I guess but something that sprang to mind.

>It's not its fault that players just tend to allow the game state to result in a giant dog pile.
If there were better strategies, surely people would use them?
If there are no better strategies, then that certainly is the game's fault.

Nah, End Times was the worst of all. It's actually considerably worse than Shitmar. Shitmar I'll at least consider playing, but I would have preferred if Fantasy was simply allowed to go quietly into the night. Having some rookie writers shitcan the entire setting permanently is just depressing.

>Having some rookie writers shitcan the entire setting permanently is just depressing.

You're an idiot.

>hurf durf rats xD
Kill you are self.

>Having some rookie writers shitcan the entire setting permanently is just depressing.

Maybe if you're some kind of babby faggot.
GW are free to bring the setting back if they wish, all that they did was provide one last story. You don't have to like that story, but you don't need to pay attention to it either.

That's not really something a CEO can fix without gutting and replacing creative teams, which is pretty difficult.

How much are you paid?

AoS may well be the fantasy skirmish game I've been waiting for all my gaming life but it doesn't matter because the lore is dogshit and the minis look like WoW rejects.

>AoS is shit!
>I can't play fantasy anymore because GW sent mercenaries to burn all my rule books and Shove a sigmarine up my ass!
>a-anyone who disagrees with me is a shill!

Dude, do you ever get tired of repeating the same shit over and over again? It's been almost 2 years now that fantasy has been dead, just give it up already it's quite sad. Everything in that statement is objectively true, it's your choice to be a frothing gongard and be angry all the time. Stop coming into AoS related threads if it triggers you so hard, it's not hard at all to ignore content you aren't interested in

>Stop coming into AoS related threads if it triggers you so hard, it's not hard at all to ignore content you aren't interested in

Not that I don't agree I just feel the need to point out that this AoS related thread is about the release of a resculpt of a classic model. It's basically bait to try and get grognards to notice AoS so it's pretty unavoidable.

HE RETURNS

>make AoS totally ani-WHFB
>for some reasons brings back old WHFB minis
No seriously, not trolling or whinning, but what's the point?

To sell minis.

But to who? Newcomers (AoS audience) knew no shit abot Slambo.

>Motherfucking based Rountree.
>based

Slambo is too mighty to die in the End Times.

Barely anyone knows about Slambo, he's just a fun meme release, it's limited edition and resin.

>Barely anyone knows about Slambo
But AoS was "fuck u" for such people since the first compendium for 4 page rules

>But AoS was "fuck u" for such people

No.

It's a desperate bid to try and get older players who quit when WHFB blew up to try AoS.

That's really all it is.

Yes.

I can say pointless shit too, it doesn't actually prove anything, you mong.

Not that guy but I can't believe there are any people out there who knew who Slambo was and weren't incredibly pissed off when GW killed the setting.

>No.
>totally new direction of setting, where "your dudes" totally irrelevant
>meme-rules fol old armies just to send their players off
>No
SOunds like a cuck

I don't know shit about Warhammer, but with a name like Slambo, he MUST be top tier.

Just think you retards why would they tell you "fuck u"? How does that serve their business?
People who attribute malice to AoS are shit eating dopes.
Not liking it is fine, but stop taking it personal and getting offended.

>"your dudes" totally irrelevant

They're more relevant now because there's more space for them.
Fantasy had a very constricting world.

>why would they tell you "fuck u"?
Because players refused to buy 8th edition bullshit.
>How does that serve their business?
To get rid of old playerbase.
>shit eating dopes.
Look who is talking.
>but stop taking it personal and getting offended.
Dude, I am not even WHFB player.

I don't think they care about the old WFB players as buyers of their products at this point. They looked at the W40K sales vs Fantasy and changed their Fantasy offering to be another version of 40K. Both games are gay as fucking hell to play, but please keep buying it so we can get more BB, EPIC 40K and Necromunda stuff (and LotR).

lol

>Because players refused to buy 8th edition bullshit.

How does that make AoS a fuck you?

>To get rid of old playerbase.

How does that serve their business?

>Dude, I am not even WHFB player.

So? Doesn't mean you're not being a little bitch.

>They're more relevant now because there's more space for them.
It works only for sigmarines.
>Fantasy had a very constricting world.
And it was good, since you had a lot of ways to relate your army with something interesting and important in setting.

>Just think you retards why would they tell you "fuck u"? How does that serve their business?
>>How does that serve their business?To get rid of old playerbase.

What I was going to post. Old fags didn't buy enough and the game was too toxically bloated to pull in those sweet, sweet, momma bucks.

>KInda glad they're gonna kill 40k the same way. I'll finally be free of the yolk.

>please keep buying it so we can get more ... EPIC 40K

You're not going to get any more Epic from them as you know it. Not when they can jew the scale on you for more of your shiney ducats.

>It works only for sigmarines.

How?

>And it was good, since you had a lot of ways to relate your army with something interesting and important in setting.

AoS is better because you can make your own locations while still fitting into the world.

>How does that make AoS a fuck you?
Let me guess you didn't read first AoS rules?
>How does that serve their business?
To make safespace for their new customers.
>So? Doesn't mean you're not being a little bitch.
Oh it another buttblasted AoS players...

New epic already confirmed.

Yeah sure my guys really fit in THE WORLD OF FIRE. They're right at home next to GENERIC FIREY WORLD THAT IS NOT DESCRIBED AT ALL BEYOND BEING GENERIC AND FIREY.

No,

Rescaled Adeptus Titanicus has been previewed. It ain't the same thing. See also comment about jewing with the scale.

>Let me guess you didn't read first AoS rules?

I did, bad rules don't mean fuck u.

>To make safespace for their new customers

How does making people like you even more catty and annoying make for a safe space?

I love to play 8th ed. However I went into the edition with an army already. I think the barrier to entry because of the unit sizes (most armies required at least one huge block of infantry) were just too fucked for anyone that didn't have shit already. Playing with those big blocks of models is fucking awesome though.

>How?
Well since they are main posterboys and literally Space Marines, so aqnything with them be more relvant for setting.
>AoS is better because you can make your own locations while still fitting into the world.
Yeah and with the same result it could fit any other world, since AoS copying DC multiverse

Don't project your own lack of imagination.

it's 10mm right? It's a cunt move but painting 6mm infantry isn't the most satisfying thing...

>bad rules
And I talking about meme-rules for old armies.
>How does making people like you even more catty and annoying make for a safe space?
1) Like me?
2) To clean stores from them

>Well since they are main posterboys and literally Space Marines, so aqnything with them be more relvant for setting.

How does it only work for them though?

>Yeah and with the same result it could fit any other world,

No, because there are specific factions.

>since AoS copying DC multiverse

How? Doesn't DC have 52 universes or something?

No, it's worse than 10mm its the literally orphan scale of fucking 8mm. It matches NOTHING that's commercially available.

Also, it's totally academic what scale they claim the infantry is, as in the new Titan game, there fucking isn't any. It's truly just an excuse to rescale the war machines to try to force obsolescence.

More importantly, who is slambo anyways?

>And I talking about meme-rules for old armies.

So? Did the scary GW death squads force you out of your bed and make you play AoS and stroke your moustache and bribe your opponent?

>1) Like me?

Yes, like you.

>2) To clean stores from them

Were you too smelly for the stores?

>How does it only work for them though?
>anything with them be more relvant for setting by default

>No, because there are specific factions.
Such as..?
>How?
Schematic multiverse with poor written common system.
>Doesn't DC have 52 universes or something?
I mean old DC multiverse, sorry.

>Did the scary GW death squads force you out of your bed and make you play AoS and stroke your moustache and bribe your opponent?
Well, if players had only GWstore in their area then kind of yes.
>Yes, like you.
And where exactly, I bitching?
>Were you too smelly for the stores?
Nah I don't play in GW store. Or this was another brilliant humor from AoS player?

Imagine a future where GW actually tried to fix fantasy instead of axing it

Tell me when the regular dudes from the Empire, or the Orcs tribes from the Bad lands or others of the like accomplished anything of any note in AoS.

Go ahead, I'll wait.

>Such as..?

Like Chaos or Orcs.

>Schematic multiverse with poor written common system.

AoS is not a multiverse. There's eight realms in one universe. There's also the Realm of Chaos which is another universe I suppose, but that was the same as Fantasy.

>Tell me when the regular dudes from the Empire, or the Orcs tribes from the Bad lands or others of the like accomplished anything of any note in AoS.

There was an Engineer who designed Greywater Fastness who blew up an entire invading Chaos army.

A meme warrior of chaos from a time all but forgotten.

>Well, if players had only GWstore in their area then kind of yes.

No, not at all. It;s not like GW evicted you from your home.

>And where exactly, I bitching?

Here and now. You imagine slights were there are none and complain about it.

>Nah I don't play in GW store. Or this was another brilliant humor from AoS player?

You admitted you needed to be cleaned from stores.

Just another piece of the continuing evidence of this being worst timeline.

I can respect that, fuck I'll probably buy one since I already play chaos because of that.

Away cuck!

AoS isn't even a world, it's barely defined infinite planes of existence limited only by association to some type of magic.

So yes, pretty much anything you can come up with fits in them. And the problem is exactly that, with out any meaningful constraints, boundaries or context nothing you put in there actually matters.

It tries to be everything to everyone and ends up being nothing to no one.

>AoS isn't even a world, it's barely defined infinite planes of existence

No, they're finite.

>So yes, pretty much anything you can come up with fits in them. And the problem is exactly that, with out any meaningful constraints, boundaries or context nothing you put in there actually matters.

Things matter. The All Points matter.
Azyrheim matters.
Places matter, but there's room enough where you can have your own.

You can't fix a game that makes 2% of GW's sales

>If there were better strategies, surely people would use them?
there are and people who use them tend to win.
Its just many if not most players choose to just dogpile in the middle, which works if the other guy is also dog piling.

>Like Chaos
You trying to imply that only AoS setting have daemons and their servants?
>Orcs
There is no orcs in Warhammer.
>There's eight realms
Yeah and each of them are endless and have place for any shit pulled out of your or other people ass.

>Places matter,
Only headquarters

>Lifeless resculpt of old mini that is essentially just a sterile version that 100% misses the appeal of the source material
>that will be 30 dollars

AOS in a nutshell

Kill me

>You trying to imply that only AoS setting have daemons and their servants?

Nope, but those specific daemons and servants, yes.

>There is no orcs in Warhammer.

Yeah there are.

>Yeah and each of them are endless and have place for any shit pulled out of your or other people ass.

They have ends, and having place for expansion and player invention is good!

>Only headquarters

No, plenty places. Cities and magical places too.

>It;s not like GW evicted you from your home.
Yeah you can play bby meme-rules, or didn't play at all. Sounds like "fuck u" exactly.
>Here and now.
Where exactly?
>You imagine slights were there are none
Says who..?
>You admitted you needed to be cleaned from stores.
Well, it's not me, but GW vision.

>Slambo is back!
>no one cares, just want to argue about AoS and WFB

I doubt there's anyone even old enough to know who Slambo is anymore. Just a bunch of baby-faced newfags who'd screech at any old models in their gamestore and only like what they care about. I'm certainly one of those but fuck stop arguing in every thread.

>literal physical incarnation of the divine between AoS and WHF
>S-stop arguing guys
