The other difference is support... GW waits 10 years between updating codexes and has yet to release all the models from ANY army they have released. People are hoping for 3-4 codexes this year for 40k while PP in the same time frame released 2 expansions, 11 army books and the complete host of models for each line. In 1 year they did what GW has yet to do in 10.
The difference between PP and GW however is a huge one. The difference is PP truly cares about the hobby and it's fans... They play not only the game they make but have fun with other systems as well. Look who is running GW... You know there are issues when the top three executives don't even play the game.
Dunno... PP seems like another ridiculously priced setup... better to play systems that don't lock you in to one line of minis... so you can use whatever you have, whatever you like... iIF
Well I still go with gw and buy some pp models with a cygnar army. But what I have to say is pp is right where gw was in its early days and I will call it now that in about 20 years time people will be saying the same thing about pp. In the end these companies gotta think of their bottom line and on top of that economies everywhere suck!
Kudos for taking on Warmachine - its a awesome game. I know how you feel about GW - all take, no love back :P I have moved on to playing old school 2nd Edition 40k - that way buying the books gives zero profit to GW and you need sod all minis for a army - its a nice compromise rather than quitting the "GW hobby" all together.
You brought up a reason I went over to Privateer Press.... my wife likes the look of Legion of Everblight. I would love it if I could get her into my hobby. I also really like the rules. I have to say that I like that you started the video with wishing people who will stay with GW well.
Funny thing. I was watching your video as I was putting together epic irusk. I was just about to pause and get a picture of it to make sure I had it right, when you put the picture up in your video. I was rather surprized by that. Glad you are coming over to PP for games, great models and rules, and Ive had some models since they started, and despite a rules reright(mark 2), and newer models being released, I can still use the models that are 10 years old, its so awesome.
The virulent gw hate is a little excessive but that's a phase many of us go through when we quit gw. I wont pay their prices for their models or tools, but sometimes the terrain tempts me (until I see the five thousand skulls that need filing off) and I do use their silver paints.
I suggest against buying both the two player starter and khador battlegroup, the 2 player starter is a better deal and doubling up isn't as good in wm as it is in 40k.
@DaisZX all ready way a head of you I just online ordered the 2 player starter box army ( with te mini rule book for 99.99 ) also going to my local store to pick up some other units and some paints so I can start working scale Terrain for them so I can get some Battle reports out..
I play Skorne and Menoth, and I love the game as well. I think its a good switch. I get GW stuff when I can get a deal on it, but that's the only way I get stuff from them. I just got a Crusader/Redeemer for $40 the other weekend. It's new and un-open.
BAMM!!! I was stunned when you said you took up privateer! I changed over a year back now and I would never look back. I started with Cygnar and since then have taken up Mercenaries as well as Retribution, and most recently dipped into hordes and taken up Trollbloods! My goodness the models are epic!
You love Titans eh? You sound like you may enjoy Skorne, Titan Gladiators and Bronzebacks! :D
My name is Eric, and I am part of the movement. lol
movement? This shit happens every week. No different than 'quitting' fast food and the like. Most people like it and you can't just blame ignorance of other titles
Well good luck with everything. I have enough GW to last me a life time so at this point I don't care much about what they do. Now it forgeworld prices fo up the same way then I will be upset.....
I love when you go off the deep end.. Your just a 'real' person that speaks out of heart. Im about at my wits end as well.. Rumor has it there will be a new BT codex coming.. Now how much money will I have to spend then? I have been lucky to buy a full painted army for realitivly cheap.. But I have been looking at the prices for now.... the reason why I have not brought anything is the... Hmm 70 dollars for a land raider? Come on man!!!
I think I'm with you on this one. I really wanted to build a Vostroyan army but after pricing it all out I realized I would have to sell my soul and I already sold that for my orks!! Ever heard of The Quar? PLEASE go search ZOMBIESMITH miniatures and look at the Quar range. It's a small company here in CA and the models are really cool. For some reason I think you would like em.
