Just want to clarify my position in the video, as a few people have misunderstood.

I have no issue with GW releasing new models, or with Primaris. I understand that not all kits can be kept around forever. I love the game of 40K and I look forward to many more years of playing it.

But quite simply put, as a consumer, I have lost my trust in GW. I just can't risk buying their products anymore.

[HighlandPhoenix]

GW could have helped themselves by honestly telling us at launch that this was the edition firstborn were being retired to legends... Classic GW mucked it up as always... 🤦

[printandplaygamer]

We really need to urge TOs to allow good alternative models in any tournament that GW isn't directly sponsoring. The best thing we can do to get GW to change their ways is to demonstrate to them we don't need them in order to play Warhammer, just as the D&D crowd showed WotC/Hasbro this spring that they didn't need WotC to play D&D.

The older I get the more I realise i'm in an abusive relationship with Games Workshop. You never know when they're going to bitchslap you next.

Me: Gets back into the hobby after a 7 year absence when I hear about the new Guard.

Codex lasts less than 3 months.

Me (crying); It'S GoOd tO bE BaCk?!?!?!

[illadvisedrecords]

I have thousands of dollars of models that are no longer legal for organized play.
Getting flashbacks to when I built an awesome Renegades and Heretics army when they got super cool rules in 7th ed, and then they just deleted the whole army and didn't even create alternative/legends support for them. The fact that they still sell units that you can't play with at events is asinine.

It's like GW wants people to go over to 3D printing

I started playing GW games in the ‘80s, and stopped late in the ‘90s.

I was there when the Fimir vanished, the Slann fell, and the Chaos Dwarves went extinct. I watched as the Squats, lock, stock, and two smoking barrels, fell victim to the void. I openly wept.

I was also there, at the End of Times, when solid formations gave way to individual movement, and suddenly my dozen assembled armies, whose combined values were in the realms of 100, 000 points, were obliged to find new footing. I raged.

I was there, when the will of the Creator failed, and was corrupted by the almighty power of the DollarPound. I shouted into the void, to no avail.

My vistas were reduced. I decided, then and there, that I would forsake all others, and return to my first venture. My final bastion. An abandoned path, long forgotten by the Creator, whose followers had kept alive, and taken for themselves. The Bowl of Blood.

Here, I took my stand. I assembled every team. Every player, Star, or otherwise. And things were good, for a time.

Then, the Creator saw how grand this forgotten realm had become, no thanks to them, and took it back into the fold. Once again, I watched, as all I had put together was, once again, ripped asunder.

I swore on that day, that I would stop worshipping this false Idol. I denied them, that day, and have denied them ever since. No longer would they receive my adulation, or my tithes.

I was drifting, helpless, in the void, for a time. I dabbled with the War of Kings, among others, but found no solace.

In desperation, I took to a Flight of Fantasy, and devoted myself to their War in the Stars, but that, too, fell, to the Games of the Atomic Mass.

Then, I discovered the Rules of One Page, and I was saved.

I had let go of all my assembled forces, save for the Elves of the Woods, and the Kings of the Tomb, as I could not bear to part with them, for the blood, sweat, and tears I had put into assembling them. My forces saw new life thanks to OPR, and have been seen on many battlefields since.

I have even begun assembly of a new force, my Robot Legions. I have control over how many troops I need to fill out a unit. I always have exactly what I need. No more, no less. And the quality of said troops easily equals, or exceeds, the quality of those by the Creator.

The Rules of One Page have empowered me, as never before, and opened my eyes to new vistas. I have since become a devotee of the Four Against the Darkness, and those who are Five Parsecs from Home.

I have returned from the void, stronger than ever…

HOLD MY BEER.

One thing I don't understand why the community puts the WYSIWYG rules on themselves, this wouldn't be an issue if 40k tournaments would be proxy friendly.

[USALibertarian]

I like the community. Everything directly controlled by GW I hate.

[youtubevanced]

The only thing I''ll say is you don't need to play the latest edition if your group of friends are happy to play an older version.
Also One Page Rules has you covered. They support all your models.

[ThorOdinson]

2:00 The moment I learned about Primaris when 8th was coming out, I knew this day was coming. So I took my Space Marine collection of 25 years, 50+ Terminators, 50+ Scouts, dozens of Tactical, Devastator, and Assault Squads, Sternguard, Vanguard, Rhinos, Razorbacks, Land Raiders, Land Speeders, a whole slew of Dreadnoughts (including the regular, Ironclad, Venerable, etc), a shit ton of Rogue Trader Space Marines, and so on, and sold it all.

Over the years I’d periodically feel bad about doing that and wondering if I jumped the gun but, I have to say, after the past few months, I’m feeling pretty good about that move. God only knows how hard a time I’d be having to sell, say, those 50+ Terminators now, with the new larger Terminators replacing them.

[ReoTharmus]

This is how I felt about the guard changes for 9th. Removal of conscripts, veterans and special weapon squads made me lose about 140 troopers. Still haven’t recovered from that.

[robear]

Literally just finished painting my very first army last night (firstborn flesh tearers because Gabriel Seth doesn't like primaris) just to find out it's been nuked. Didn't even get a full game in with it. So sad that GW cocked things up so badly. Not really sure what to do now, really good way to screw people out of the hobby.

[KT-pvkl]

Welcome to the club!
I moved on to greener pastures and picked up battletech and bolt action. Both games combined cost less than a single GW faction and rules don't change every 3 months. Also no model was ever taken out of the game. Whatever you bought you can use for the rest of your life.

[JB-yrqt]

I'll be honest, this sort of thing is why I opted to build my new 40k army with the idea that if GW pulled any shenanigans or the new edition turned out trash, I'd just go play them in a model-agnostic game like OPR's Grimdark Future. I wasn't going to let GW trash my hobby investment again. Last time they did something like this to me I switched game companies for over a decade. This time I just came prepared with plan B, because I knew GW was like this and has a long history of it.

[jujjuj]

I think the worst thing is that they are immediately being moved to legends. Could have waited at least an edition or 2 to move them to legends.

[michaelwain]

I started playing 40K with Rogue Trader, back in the late 80's and worked for them in the mid-late 90's, so you can imagine how many cool models I saw come and go. The last edition I had was 5th but I gave up after seeing the new larger Space Marine models and for me, the writing was on the wall, I knew the old models would be replaced and many of them would end up being unusable in future editions, that and the constant edition change every 4 years. It just got too much, so I sold everything. I currently collect and play Bolt Action, Flames of War/Team Yankee, Star Wars Legion, Armada + X-Wing V1. The big advantage of historical gaming, is that they can't 'remove' things from the game so easily. For example, a Tiger tank is a Tiger tank, no matter whether you have an old model or a new model, as long as it's a Tiger and in the right scale, it doesn't matter - you can't change actual history but you can change everything in a fictional setting and that's what GW do, all the time and I don't like it. The lesson is not to be a GW fanboy and buy into their products in a big way, limit what you get and perhaps just enjoy smaller games, so you don't throw too much money away everytime something changes. I'm contemplating getting a small Imp Guard army and playing a mix of 5th Ed, OPR and Combat Patrol or small current 40k battles. The aim being to relatively basic stuff like a few squads, some heavy weapons and a Leman Russ or 2. Hopefully that won;t be so painful in the long run.

[Lucastmiller]

Ive stopped spending money with GW, 3d printing isnt my favorite thing in the world but its been a necessity for me to keep playing and modeling my 40k armies, there are so many creators out there that in my opinion make better looking models than GW and deserve to be supported
