If Privateer hired away all of the GW sculptors, started commissioning Dan Abnett to write novels, and launched a game called "WarMaul 43,312" I'd probably switch over.

Dude, any and all 40k novels are awful.  Dan abnet's just the least awful.

I like Privateer press sculpts, personally.  Very dynamic, very stylistic, typically better faces than GWs.  Yes, I get it if you don't think the ape like warjacks are cool, but that's really just a style issue, and there's a lot of other options if you don't find them attractive.  I'm not sure where everyone saying "OMG GW has the best quality models evar" comes from. 

Some GW models are cool -- I like Ork battlewagons, GK PA and termies, the new deathwing termies.  Helldrakes.  Juggernauts. 

Other models are awful.  Stormravens (well, it has a certain brutish, A-10 attractiveness), the new DA speeders, Dreadknights, all are hilariously bad looking.

Matt that is personal opinion on the novels.  I have very much enjoyed all the spacewolf novels I have read and several other of the heresey books.

Your word or opinion does not = fact it is just that opinion.

I'm surprised it made it to 4 pages without someone advocating playing WM/H.  8)

Storm of Iron was a fun read.

Matt, why don't you play WM/H then?

I don't like ALL the GW models.  But I have never seen a Privateer model that was 1/10 as cool as a Dark Eldar Raider, a Trygon, a Grey Knight Terminator, a Forgeworld Greater Daemon, or probably 50 other models from 40k that I could name.   Of course, beauty is in the eye of the beholder... but that is why this beholder is sticking with 40k even though Privateer seems to be a lot better at writing rules and at making their players players feel appreciated.

Yes.....when someone says "this sucks" they are intrinsically voicing an opinion.  Why are you trying to make it sound like I was saying otherwise?

Matt, why don't you play WM/H then?

I do?  I have a lot of sunk cost with 40k, though.  My best of all worlds scenario would be if GW emulated a lot of PP's successful behaviors, mostly in the rules department. 

Why the hell can't I complain about something without you piping up with "why don't you do/not do that, then?"  Let a man whine about unimportant shit in peace.

Just put him on ignore, you don't lose anything.

I don't think Trooper was trying to be critical of you RE: WM/H, he probably thinks, and I agree with him, that you would greatly prefer the PP ruleset to GW.  I am not sure about gameplay and style, but certainly the ruleset.

Ignore Troy, he is a fanboi.  Spacewolf novels can't be bad, ergo, your opinion is wrong.

LOl keith you sly dog!  Space Wolf for life man! Live it, Love it, breath it!  Then go play WM/H MUHAHAHA

Matt,  I called you out because all I see from 90% of your posts is bullshit.  It annoys me as does your demeanor when you play a game of 40k.  Personally I have no issues with you as you are a decent dude but when you play 40k your DBag.  This of course is my opinion.

For a while you were making efforts and I saw improvements which made me happy for you.  Recently this has all debunked again.  Please dont take this as me ragging on you as that is not my intent but take it as feedback so you can better yourself and image in the 40k community.

I agree here man. Yeah your entitled to whine but as ive found the hard way....no one likes reading your whines. What I do is try to not let emotions get in the way and state its my opinion I think it sucks and not make it sound like fact. Your entitled to whine, but other people are entiled to their views too, and other people are entitled to say STFU we dont want to hear it.

So yeah when you see something you dont like just say heres my opinion instead of just saying it, and remember every one is entitled to an opinion doesnt always mean yours or theirs are the right ones.

Ok.....not to get in an English lesson here but certain statements are inherently opinions and there really shouldn't be a need to raise an "opinion" flag for it.  ...whatevs.

Matt,  I called you out because all I see from 90% of your posts is bullshit.

No Comment, other than to say I feel fairly free to express opinions about what I think sucks, is awesome, or how I think things should happen.  I don't even feel the need to justify those opinions, but I'm willing to try.  But see?  You can too. 

Space wolves are for twilight fans.

For the rest.....definitely no comment. 

you would greatly prefer the PP ruleset to GW.  I am not sure about gameplay and style, but certainly the ruleset.


I really like the warmahordes rulesset, it is clear, exact, and balanced.  Even more than the exact ruleset I LOVE their philosophy towards rules.  I.e. little things like writing rules in a highly precise and inarguable format, but also explaining those rules in "plain english" alongside, so that it is clear to new gamer as quickly as possible.  Like, "yes, Reach + open fist really does mean you can do this" or "remember this model has the stealth rule, and thus..." or whatever the heck it is.  If rule is broken (due either to a rules conflict or a clear power imbalance) it is fixed post-haste, though that seems rarely required. 

I also love my Cryx army.

As to why I don't play it more....I dunno, sunk cost, like I said, I guess.  Maybe I'm just afraid of getting my ass kicked at a game I'm not good at yet.   :'(

If you want to talk about recent events I don't mind.  But my version of things may just make you think I'm just being obstinate
