Been admiring the boxset, and this might make me crack, and buy it.

I am a Warhammer virgin, and this boxset will take my "flower"...

Having read that back, it's more disturbing than it was intended...

Save your money!!! 

Models are decent, there are plenty of gamers, rules aren't shitty, but you have to get used to the odour.

The Cultists would be great for anyone who played Necromunda; in fact I dare say they'd fit into most post apocalyptic stuff. I actually quite like them.

The rest of the stuff does look 'good' and while I can appreciate that it's pretty and detailed, I'm afraid that it does nothing for me. Too be fair; massive rank and file armies don't do much for me anymore either.

Cheers

If "Models are decent, there are plenty of gamers, rules aren't shitty", then what odor should I get used to? Of GW, in general?

Not that I'm saying GW have a huge machine that reads peoples' dreams or anything but those price rises must have been paying for something... 

Although obviously ignoring the dreams of lower prices....

Too many exotic melee weapons for my taste.
Bad enough bringing a knife to a gunfight, but a sword or a morning star?

Looks odd in a squad that includes so many automatic & semi-auto weapons.
After all, if swords were that good they'd be using them in Afghanistan.

[Dr. The Viking]

I was actually looking forward to the cultists.

They do leave me a bit meh however. I don't get the part where they're all completely beefy and muscles all over. I thunk of cultist a bit less working out at the gym and little more human rats.

You ... you have heard of Warhammer 40,000, right?

I mean, I'm not saying you don't have a point, but six editions in I think it's not exactly a surprise.

They may not be using swords in Afghanistan, but many U.S. service personnel are using tomahawks!     They are modernized and upgraded ones based on the type issued during Vietnam.

Good, because if you did it wouldn't be working correctly

Like these?
