GW's March 1st stuff (Knight Titan)

[PhoenixFire]

When one of these knights lose their last hull point they ALWAYS explode.

I can't wait to set off a chain knightsplosion.  Ultimate 40k achievement?

I think your dreads need a blast painted on them for every knight they kersplode

It's a shame GW is costing you money lately.

GW isn't costing Chase money, it's the damn "community" (whatever that is).. a lot of people were excited for the Knights until the endless bitching started.

We were in for 16.  9 were shipped.  I'm okay with that number given all the doom and gloom (as is ABSOLUTELY the normal here over the past few months).

It's a shame that this message board is definitely costing me money lately.

Boot/Ban users.   You don't have to put up with it.

Agree, I think there should be stricter forum guidelines. The current environment is toxic for players that are actually interested in the game, and of course bad for business.

So, it's the fault of everyone who disagrees with you, eh?

Look, it's a very pretty model, but the rules are evidence that GW is trying to change the game on the basis of what sells new models, rather than what is balanced, or makes a good game.  And the game is suffering, because of it. 

Blaming the forums for lost sales is quite literally, blaming the messenger.

It's not like I never post anything positive.  I was the one who originally posted the cool Nova Narrative rules, and that thread got a lot of goshwow responses and Brad took the helm and now BG is gonna have a tournament with those rules.   I post with my impressions of what's going on.  If that is not supposed to be the purpose of the forum, fine, I'll stop.  IMHO it's not really worth reading anything when you know people aren't saying what they actually think.

Other stores have a much simpler strategy of only stocking what people order if it's below a certain cost, and directly ordering the rest on request. Has BG tried that at all? Also, stores never seem to monetize their best resources, (the space, of course). Since Plainville is such a nice space I'd wonder if that might not be beneficial in lieu of sales.

Either way, I don't think lamenting the customer base as being a burden is going to drum up much support.

This is happening.  Ohhhhh so happening.  I may very well carry an airbrush and a blast stencil everywhere I go :O

Put me down for 1 on the next shipment Chase. Please.

It's true that some of us buy models, while others buy game pieces.

[Chase]

Everyone who wants to run one of these needs to have the new blue super pie plate (Chase, might want to make sure you have a few in stock)

They don't exist anymore.  Ironic, right?

Standard GW thinking right there...

"Let's sell a model that needs a 15" pie plate"
"Those were limited edition, we don't have anymore"
"Sell it anyway!!!"

Yup, yup.  That's what half the fighting comes down to, right?

The big thing about the stubbers (so it seems to me) is that it can charge whatever it shot with the stubber. They didn't mention this in their review. Super heavies can only assault things they shot, and the big gun is likely to kill what it shoots. The stubber probably won't, so it gives you the opportunity to shoot a big threat with the pie plates and peg a closeby unit so you can charge it to keep the titan moving around the board.

Dude, no one wants to feel guilty for buying/fielding a Knight.. and they certainly don't want to hear bitching and whining during the game.

Yo dog, I heard you liked accurate measurements of things:

Also, to us older nerds: This is officially a titan.

Apparently the fluff has been updated.

It's not a huge deal but knights used to be something else, like big dreadnoughts that could use a not near-corpse as a driver but what GW has been describing as the pilots.
