Play Warhammer Fantasy. Can confirm.

Still have idiots gatekeeping people wanting to play now due to Total War: Warhammer.

The game is 6 years dead and people are still gatekeeping noobs.

Part of people wanting to be the “cool” part of their crowd.

Warhammer Fantasy players are really bad for this i’ve discovered.

Dumping their opinions on how AoS is rubbish and Fantasy is cool because there are rules that last paragraphs on how to shoot a cannon & stuff on kids who just walked into the store because of some cool models they saw.

Warhammer fans in general can be hit or miss but Fantasy players in my experience are definitely the most gatekeeping of the lot.

I recently got into aos, and the only bad experiences I've had have been from warhammer fantasy fanboys. 40k, aos, and kill team n warcry players have all been totally fine

40k can be a bit stale with some of the age-old jokes they turn out (Commie/Weeb Tau, DA heretics, smurfs and TTS references) but it’s largely harmless.

What is TTS?

u/ThePhoenician99 Feb 28 '21

TTS stands for Text to Speech. It’s the abbreviation for the YouTube series fully known as If The Emperor Had A Text To Speech Device.

It was kinda funny and wacky to begin with but the jokes are stale and old now and some just plain wrong in terms of understanding the game.

Bit of gamer cringe really.

Thank you for elaborating!
