An excerpt from a Goonhammer article where they quote John Stallard of Warlord Games in a 2023 Wargames Illustrated article: "I think thay the biggest threat now, along with some of the supply problems we've been seeing, is what seems to have become known as wokeism. It doesn't matter where is comes from but journos are going to do what they do; they could write a story right now - some sensationalised thing - that ine wargames manufacturer is making Nazis, another is producing Imperialist British soldiers to slaughter natives, and another is sculpting slave owning Confederates. What an outrage! I can just see that it can then progress to people deciding they don't want their children playing x and y."
This stance from him doesn't surprise me at all given this Wargames Illustrated quote from an April 2023 Goonhammer article.
Or the intro to the 2nd edition Black Powder rulebook.

That said, while I like the distinction in horror styles like old Chaos, I do miss the 2000's era metal constant state of flux horrors.
I was thinking I should have a cup of Earl Grey when I get home.
Then a customer's change came out to $17.01. I'll call that a sign.
Sam: I know. It's all wrong. By rights we shouldn't even fucking be here.
Gimli: Don't fucking tell the elf.

Wood Elf version of the runes are better.

FF6, I'm with Natalie here, it's Cyan. Locke being a close second.
FF7, Reno. Especially his Advent Children version.

FF9, Vivi.
FF10, Auron.
FF12, Balthier.
FF13, not Hope.
FF14, I need a whole goddamn blog.
FF15, Ignis.
If you see this post your favourite final fantasy character.
Red Mage, FF1. Sure, no personality but the prompt didn't ask for favorite *named* character.
(Seriously though, too many to list.)
Yeah, that would be nice. Also, between that and Mordheim, that's how my Empire army started...
Vampire Counts and Wood Elves are the only two armies that I started for Warhammer Fantasy that weren't, "Well I have these models from these starter boxes. Might as well..."
This is true. But just because the ruleset is called Epic: *Armageddon*, doesn't mean it has to be played there.
23.12.2025 18:00 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Being honest, I wouldn't have quite as many armies if I didn't work at a hobby shop that stocked GW stuff.
My O&G army started out as the 6th and 7th edition starters, plus some of the models from WHQ95. I realized a couple of boxes would bring it up to a playable army. And then I went overboard.
Nah, it's the Guardians of the Covenant, which is my 40K scale force. I just wanted the smol rules version too.

Yeah, but the Catachans look bad...
Honestly for Mordians, I want to see a kit that has a Mordian-style uniform with a mix of Mordian heads and Praetorian heads.
Sadly they do.
22.12.2025 23:38 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Yes! Bare, muscly arms; big knives; some Catachan flavored heads; and maybe some Catachan themed base add-ons.
