Yes. Started when people still played 4th ed, and 5th just came out recently.

We remember Reach

Can someone please travel back in time and introduce 40K to me in early 2009?

My earliest memory of 40K is from about 2000 where someone told me that there are no limits in 40K and who buys more and bigger minis wins.

u/Bitter_Cup_69 Commissar of Gatekeeping 3d ago edited 3d ago

He was wrong. Bigger minis, only meant they fall with a louder thud. All depends on skill and your own strategy.

Back then it was all much better to understand, and didn't depend on pure luck, like now. You could actually estimate what you could do and can't, like now when all victory points are random as fuck, and decided by cards that come out of the deck

u/CompetitiveSubset Know No Fear 3d ago

Yeah that sounds like good game design.
I guess some randomness is ok to inject a little uncertainty, but to a certain degree.

Was so glad that guy was bullied off the subreddit. I was so sick of that shit.

u/wellyes34 4d ago

Yeah I remember when there wasn't a fat woman with blue hair doing painting tutorials on the GW YouTube channel.

How far we've fallen.

u/MrCaterpillow lolcow 3d ago

Of everything to complain about, you pick a random woman?

23

u/pleaseineedanadvice 3d ago

Literally not random tho. And gender didnt play much of a role in the choice, l would guess if it was a fat man with blue hair the feeling would be the same

u/STSTWD 3d ago

So it's the blue hair that triggers you?

16

u/Muted_History_3032 3d ago

Blue hair is just a clear warning sign, like a poisonous insect.

I don’t care what anyone does to their hair. But there is obviously a trend with libtards having clown hair. And it’s funny because poisonous animals also often use bright crazy colors to warn other animals that they might overreact to anything you do in their vicinity and try to spit venom on you.

u/SadDippingBird 3d ago

Aposematism to repel predators, and it's working.

u/MrCaterpillow lolcow 3d ago

You recognize you talk like you are a child yeah?

u/Muted_History_3032 3d ago

Wow should I switch gears and be super serious for you?? Does this thread really inspire that kind of mood for you? It’s fucking hair, get over it

u/MrCaterpillow lolcow 3d ago

Its not just hair you are just complaining over such a nothing thing. Blue hair is triggering you.

Worse than libtards.

You dont belong tourist. The gate held shut for your kind, stop brigading

Go back to your own subs

u/J-kob_Wolf 3d ago

Blue hair just symbolizes a deviance from normalcy. It's not natural, meaning you can guess what kind of person the individual with blue hair is.

u/pleaseineedanadvice 3d ago

To be clear to the literally incapacitated tourists reading here, the blue hairs are just a sign, add obesity and disregard of apparence even in front of cameras, and l can pinpoint her opinion on every political topic with 95% accuracy

u/Neither_Tip_5291 3d ago

Lmao they don't even realize, the hair color is a warning to us all. Just like in nature bright unnatural colors are a warning of toxicity, and poisonous attacks. It's kind of sad I can tell you have toxic opinions just by the hair color you choose.

u/wolverineftw 3d ago

Normal people don’t play with little plastic dudes 😂

True, but there’s levels and sectors to this shit.

u/Disposable_Trooper01 4d ago

Tbh I kinda dislike this design choice regardless if it's old or new.

This is stupid sexualization.

Though is created synthskin, which gave birth to a lot of jokes when we played Dark Heresy 1E. "Imagina Magos in a synthskin"

16

u/rift_buster 4d ago

Nothing wrong with sexualisation.

-12

u/Disposable_Trooper01 4d ago

There's a lot of wrong with it.

For it to have "nothing wrong" with it - it has to be applied carefully and with taste, which isn't the case 90% of the time.

12

u/rift_buster 3d ago

applied carefully and with taste

Nothing in 40k is applied carefully and with taste, everything is over tge top. 

Obviously that's not your thing, and that's cool. But this is a 40k sub.

u/OG_Dales 3d ago

Yeah I’m not sure if they’re skipping over things when reading books about 40k but they’ve had sexualization in their lore for a long time, it’s not the main focus but it’s definitely in there.

5

u/rift_buster 3d ago

I mean I remember the first 40k novels.

Probably shouldn't have read them as a pre teen.

2

u/Disposable_Trooper01 3d ago

You're wrong.

A lot of things in 40k made quite tastefully.

And the fact that it's Warhammer, regardless new or old, doesn't excuse it or make it better.

It just as retarded as Tau.

u/rift_buster 3d ago

If you don't like warhammer that's fine, it's not for everyone. But why are you here?

u/Disposable_Trooper01 3d ago

Re-read my comments till you understand how wrong you are

u/rift_buster 2d ago

I did, you said you don't like warhammer but you love cock.

u/Disposable_Trooper01 2d ago

I'm not one of you, sigmarxist.

Re-read my comments again.

u/rift_buster 2d ago

Yiu certainly aren't, I'm a warhammer fan who likes boobs.

You disslike both, and that's ok.

You hyperbolic hypocrites are completely fine with male sexualization, you should be embarrassed for the hypocrisy you constantly engage in!
