Hi guys I have just skimmed the rules and the warscrolls

I applaud the silliness it reminds me of the old days

but I can't see the younger crowd going in for it "why so serious!"

But I can't get away from the idea that GW is having a laugh at all us "sad" gamers and that something else is under way in secret behind all this most excellent publicity.

time will tell, or not

hey ho

This makes it easy to make everyone else's figs obsolete overnight

But you could still use them, providing you don't have an inferiority complex over yours being smaller than theirs and you don't mind doing odd things to gain your modifiers... seems fair to me.

Or you can just buy into the 'new' play with guys the same size as yours and help push the Dow index upwards

Yes there is a rumour about the Age of Renton being upon us.

It's only the sigmarines that are bigger.

Can't no one tell apart a 40mm base from a 25mm one? 'Cause that would shed some light regarding the size of the chaos guys, which are the same size that they ever were.

Chaos guys are on 32mm bases though. I do agree - The chaos guys seems about the same size as always, if maybe a little bit bigger - but that is consistent with their "regular" scale-creep.

Sorry, my bad. Still, only the not-marines are true-scale-marine sized.

I got a carried away because I honestly can't understand this attitude.

People have moaned that GW was taking itself too seriously, and forgetting that games are about getting fun. And now, we have people moaning that GW has introduced about a dozen jokes amidst hundreds of rules, as if it were a personal insult. Maybe people shouldn't take Warhammer too seriously?

Also... The end of Warhammer is here! Err.... yes. GW has been saying so for months. How come people act now surprised, as if the end of WFB was unexpected? If a company says they are going to destroy their IP property and remake it, be prepared for the IP property to be destroyed and remade. Simples.

Did you verify that it was the same people (and/or the majority) both times?

You know, "people" vote different political parties too, even in the same elections.

I am quite interested to see what silly rules they chuck into the next edition of 40K.

I actually quite like them. compared to some of the naming for the miniatures etc, they actually sound like a bit of a laugh to lighten the !WAR! mood.

"War! huh! What is it good for"

"+1 to your save rolls mate, but your mustache is pathetic."

Will there be a Karaoke version do you think?

Arlequín · « **Reply #3279 on:** July 04, 2015, 07:15:16 PM »

Even allowing for the base depth differences 'Space Marine™ sized' is not strictly accurate.

Not my work btw...

True-scale-marine-sized...

Adeptus Custodes (or whatever they are called) conversion by Inso. I guess he'll post it on the Future Wars forum once he paints it.

EDIT: Damn! He has already posted it: http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=80228.0

What does "true-scale" mean?

Ajsalium · « **Reply #3282 on:** July 04, 2015, 07:36:06 PM »

It means that they are as big as they should be, bearing in mind that the fluff says that space marines are seven feet tall (they are selected from the biggest baddest guys and then genetically engineered). But the minis were just as tall as imperial guard ones, who are just common guys (say, six feet tall). So in the last few years there have appeared a bunch of companies that sell pieces to create space marines that are aprox 35mm tall, which is what a seven-feet-tall guy would be in 28-30mm scale. A business opportunity GW has decided to grab, but without the need to recognize, neither explicitly nor implicitly, that their marines are too small.

Steve F · « **Reply #3283 on:** July 04, 2015, 07:38:00 PM »

Oh, so it means "scale creep". The problem was that the IG were too big, not that that the space marines were too small.

Ajsalium · « **Reply #3284 on:** July 04, 2015, 07:41:38 PM »

IG were right on scale, at 30mm tall.
