At least GW seem to have a sense of humour now.

Showing Kirby the door arguably turned out to the best decision GW ever made.

Wait, wait, hold the vox...

People play 40K for fun?
I did try once...it didn't go too well.
I even tried again recently with 8th...it went worse

Back in 2nd edition it was fun and colourful and silly. Those days are long gone.

Colourful yes, but that's down to how you narrate your games as much as anything else. Silly - very. Strategy cards that could wipe out the majority of your opponents force before you'd started a game. It had it's pro's and con's that's for sure.

My first edition of 40k was 2nd ed. I loved it. I also hated it. It was an easily abused system, like fantasy at the time.

ALL games rely upon the players for it to be fun. Very few games are instantly fun.

Last edition I played before the latest was very early 4th. I am enjoying games of 8th as much as I did 2nd. Mainly because of the opposition. They are good friends, we spend as much time procrastinating, joking, laughing as we do rolling dice and moving models. It's fun. We laugh at each other's 1's when we need 6's.

We're not uber competitive, we collect the models we like, build armies around them.

I think these two minis are the first limited edition minis I actually like so its a shame I won't be picking them up as I am unlikely to be near a GW that day...or lets be honest foot the almost certainly large price tag.

Is it just me, or did this thread somehow just get shorter?
I'm sure we were on page 197 before.

Also - that LE Primaris is *very* nice!

It's currently on page 596 for me. Do you have your max posts per thread page count set higher than normal?  ???

I really have no idea what I'm doing.

Yeah sorry, meant 597 last time I looked. Then it was back to 596. Anyway, was just idle speculation.

Anyhoo, much as I like that LE Primaris, I now can't shake the thought that he's going 10-pin bowling. It is almost certainly just the angle, but from this angle he needed to be holding something else in his left hand.
