Fuck off with 'muh generals' you pathetic, wannabe jannie.

Not him but generals are good for tg as they mitigate the amount of mtg/dnd/40k pointless slide threads. I’ve yet to see a good argument against generals and I doubt I’ll see one beyond petty spite.

Generals foster namefags and ritual posters, which takes it off the catalog and kills board culture. You don't care because you're a fucking tourist

>>96269633
>It dies without anyone answering the question
It probably wasn't worth asking in the first place and in being so didn't need it's own thread.
And you could always ask in the next thread.
As for namefags and ritualposters, the namefags aren't confined to just a general. I've seen namefaggery in threads that aren't generals outside /tg/, and ritualposting isn't always a bad thing. It could just be a funny tradition for a general.

Perfect army size for a 28-32mm game.

I remember kinda liking the mid 2000's urban combat book too. It had some fun options like setting up a building as an ammo depot and sending some guys through the sewers but didn't feel quite as game-y as modern command points.

>>96270786
Idk man
I think 3rd through 5th are pretty good wargames as far as gothic cathdral sci fi sloppa goes
But I'll always prefer the kind of weird, brighter, earlier world of 2nd and to some extent what remnants of even earlier were floating around in catalogues etc. Maybe goofy but a little magical and mysterious.

Le serious 40k without funny tables feels as much like the beginning of the end as Necrons and Tau seemed to. I always feel likeas soon as I get into this game, I have to do everything THEIR way. Believe it or not they pushed this then too AND price rises were often.

I just know I'll get into it and it will have turned into something else n months. So I really bury my nostalgia and play other games.

Learn English before posting, Boris.

The version of 40K you imagine never actually existed, you know that right? Did you ever actually *read* the fluff instead of just gawping at the pretty pictures? The pictures that were only ever painted that way because the GW of the day were too cheap to pay for the highest quality of printing for the magazines and books and product packaging, so had to use hypersaturation in their studio paintschemes & art so they would still appear eyecatching even after printing washed them out? The style of painting that even most of the people who worked at GW including Eavy Metal guys didn't use on their personal minis, nevermind the wider hobbying public?

There were like, four Le Whacky Ebin Memerules in 2nd Edition one of which was so obnoxious anyone with sense banned it outright and the majority of the rest of which only applied to Orks. People act like the fluff in 2nd was all Ciaphas Cane-tier whackadoodery all the time, but 99% of it was the same fluff as 3rd & 4th(I concede that things started going to shit in 5th because it did; that's the edition people like Ward rose to prominance and the original creators of the IP had all left or been sidelined via promotion into managerial sinecures). You're blaming the best editions of 40K to exist for failing to live up to a version of 40K you invented in your mind purely from vague rememberings of marketing photos in a magazine.

>>96270952
It did where we were and our style matured with the editions, but something was lost.

>>96270952
Also we playedit pretty regularly, same as4th and 5th WHFB that get shit on here and similarly have more crunch.

Some dystopic Reddit hall monitor shit esp. When I'm talking about fucking price rises

It's pointless answering any questions on 4/chan, as countless trolls will then pile in to insult the answerer for being a faggot, liberal, trans, fascist, casual, no games, etc, derailing any conversation the question might have generated. Most users arnt interested in the subject, they just want to laugh at the banter. The jannies allow it as they are after lots of short revenue generating posts and rage bait, not a few intelligent, well though out conversational posts.

Oh, i almost forgot (ahem) You will never be a woman.

>outing yourself as a newfag

>>96270960
I disagree, all that happened is GW's output adjusted to match what most people - again, including their own staff with their personal armies - were already doing. 40K became more itself and that's a gain, not a loss.

>>96270964
Want to try that again in English pal?

>>96270985

You again. You're so full of shit I can smell your gamer musk from here. You're making a mistake about including the illustration in your unsubstantiated vagueposting about muh print quality. You can see the transition in art direction with 3rd ed completes by 2000 with 6th ed fantasy. GW sprung for full colour for the 5th ed Fantasy rulebook and it's bright as fuck, the maps are even bright. You might try but you can't bullshit me and tell me the plastic contact layer on the army/codex covers post 6th/3rd has a magical effect on the print quality. They chose to be garish when they had a choice. Wayne England's style works well in B&W which is what most illustration was presented in in 3rd/6th but he doesn't fit the new art direction and he all but disappears from frontline GW products after 2000. The logos changed with the new editions.

I know what you're doing because so many sadsacks here do the same, you're desperate to think of yourself as being special for being a Warhammer grog and are inventing shit to call people fake grogs and nogames. Giving yourself a medal because you saw somebody in the studio's skaven army in WD once. Wow. 40+ man lying like a schoolboy. Sad as fuck.

>>96273594
Imagine being such a pathetic wee fetus that you've not even been around long enough to know where the print quality info comes from. Imagine being so desperate to look cleverer than your elders, betters, and superiors that you embarass yourself like that. I know you think you're a super duper expert because you follow Olden Demon on instatwerp or whatever, but come on eh.

>>96265344 (OP)
With 3rd party plastics and 3d printers everywhere it wouldn't be a bad time to revive Cityfight/Cities of Death and other special environments. It's not going to cost an arm and a leg to do a specialist environment force with wargear and conversions, same as it used to when Cadians came in a box of 20.

Generals are fucking cancer

>>96269652
>It probably wasn't worth asking in the first place and in being so didn't need it's own thread.
No it's because the generals are busy doxxing the tripfags and calling each other trannies.
>And you could always ask in the next thread.
And it'll once again be drowned beneath shitposters and people re affirming that Tripfag X likes inflation porn. Any conversation that can be had is stifled, leaving naught but shitflinging
>As for namefags and ritualposters, the namefags aren't confined to just a general. I've seen namefaggery in threads that aren't generals outside /tg/
You see rats in houses too, it doesn't mean they don't live in the sewers. The general is the natural habitat of the tripfag.
>ritualposting isn't always a bad thing. It could just be a funny tradition for a general.
We see entire threads by ritual posters on other boards and they haven't collapsed. In fact they're part of the fucking culture. Explain to me how board culture is improved by taking any of the funny stuff and burying it in an endlessly bumped and segregated echo chamber, divorced from the actual catalog and incapable of being seen by people who aren't specifically seeking it out.
>There's always the petty spite I predicted I would see.
I'm sorry you consider a statement of fact to be spiteful anon but you're legitimately an agent of homogenized non culture. We have Reddit already. We don't need another Reddit. I come here because I don't like Reddit. Stop trying to turn this board into Reddit.

Thank you for taking the time to actually give your opinions to why Generals are allegedly bad.
>No it's because the generals are busy doxxing the tripfags and calling each other trannies.
Calling people trannies is just board culture at this point. It has replaced calling each other fags. As for doxxing I only saw it occur on /tg/. After this "Ben" guy all over /40kg/ and it leaked occasionally on other warhammer 40k slide threads.
I've never seen anyone on any /tg/ general use a trip. It may as well be a feature that dies.
>And it'll once again be drowned beneath shitposters and people re affirming that Tripfag X likes inflation porn. Any conversation that can be had is stifled, leaving naught but shitflinging
It was probably not a post worth starting a conversation for at least on /tg/. I don't know where you're finding this load of tripfaggery but it really doesn't apply to /tg/ hence why generals are good for /tg/ because they keep the board tidier than usual and the problems you list aren't present at best and are very rare at worst.
>Explain to me how board culture is improved
The bumping is not inorganic, and if anything it preserves the funny stuff to be viewed and laughed at. If tards just skim the thread than it is their problem that they miss the funny stuff instead of actually being literate and reading. Or lacking the ability to speed-read.
>You see rats in houses too
Nothing wrong with being a tripfag and/or namefag. I don't see what's wrong with it if someone wants to forgo anonymity here.

>>96285561
>cont
>I'm sorry you consider a statement of fact to be spiteful anon
Just look at this thread. you're the only one who actually decided to be the bigger man and explain why generals are apparently bad instead of just saying spiteful insults with nothing to back up your claims.
I used to be like you thinking that generals are bad until googling didn't work for me on a problem I had and I went to /g/. I surrendered to using one of the "friendly" question generals they have and actually got a correct answer that solved my problem. It taught me that generals can legitimately be good for /tg/.
A lot of the problems that we have on /tg/ are not started because of the concept of generals, but rather the way anons conduct themselves.
>you're legitimately an agent of homogenized non culture.
Not really. I just prefer for my favorite board to be more organized and tidy. With the catalog not flooded with pointless shitpost threads and question threads that could easily be just posted in the general for being answered. If they weren't answered. They probably weren't worth asking in the first place or the answer could be easily googled.
>We have Reddit already. We don't need another Reddit. I come here because I don't like Reddit. Stop trying to turn this board into Reddit.
Wanting a board to be more organized and not clogged with pointless slide threads does not make one a wanter of Reddit's toxic positivity here.
>>96285456
Hi, OP. You made a slide thread and your thread was inevitably treated like one. This is all on you.

>>96285561
>Calling people trannies is just board culture at this point.
Sitewide culture. It has no bearing on individual boards.
>As for doxxing I only saw it occur on /tg/.
I've witnessed it on every other board. Most tripfags doxx themselves for attention.
>I've never seen anyone on any /tg/ general use a trip. It may as well be a feature that dies.
Then you haven't been paying attention.
>It was probably not a post worth starting a conversation for at least on /tg/.
Who the fuck cares? If the thread isn't good, it dies within minutes. If it warrants discussion, it's seen by anyone who comes onto the board and will generate its own engagement. Moreover, what is this obsession with threads being "good enough"? This isn't a fine dining establishment, it's a virtual bar designed for facilitating banter. Do you interrupt people and say "BOOOOORING" when their conversation starter isn't up to your standards?
>I don't know where you're finding this load of tripfaggery
Generals
>but it really doesn't apply to /tg/
Yeah it does. Your own ignorance is not an argument
>hence why generals are good for /tg/ because they keep the board tidier than usual
It also means that I open the catalog, see nothing but echo chambers, pop my head in, see nothing worth replying to, then I go to another board that isn't so goddamn boring.
>and the problems you list aren't present at best and are very rare at worst.
Wrong again.
>The bumping is not inorganic
Neither is it in a dedicated thread. Irrelevant.
>if anything it preserves the funny stuff to be viewed and laughed at.
Archives and screen caps exist for this exact purpose you fool
>it is their problem that they miss the funny stuff instead of actually being literate and reading.
They aren't funny, first off, secondly, needing to DIG for the funny instead of putting it front and center is idiotic.
>Why is forgoing anonymity in a pathetic bid for attention bad?
I sincerely hope this is a joke.

>>96285593
>you're the only one who actually decided to be the bigger man and explain why generals are apparently bad
Because people are bored of the same points being made. Generalfags don't imagine the negative impact it has on the experience is a negative. Threadfags don't mind some redundancy in the catalog because if one thread turns to shitflinging you can start another one and hope it swims rather than sinks.
>generals can legitimately be good for /tg/.
Tech support is not a good example of something that benefits a discussion board. If I have a question or a joke, should I pose it to a single thread or an entire board?
>I just prefer for my favorite board to be more organized and tidy.
A discussion board isn't your underwear drawer. It's a stream of consciousness. It's a conversation. This is just a difference of preference. Now the shitposts and questions are identical single posts in a thread that is rapidly approaching the bump limit. Great job. You made them LESS visible.
>They probably weren't worth asking in the first place
You aren't the arbiter of quality. You're one voice in a community and it's the people's right to decide what lives or dies. Your contribution is only as important as anyone else's, be it apathy or passion. But it's better to cast a wide net.
>Wanting a board to be more organized and not clogged with pointless slide threads does not make one a wanter of Reddit's toxic positivity here.
You misunderstand why I don't like Reddit. Go to Reddit and you will see a million self contained groups. They do not interact. They pad the walls of the echo chamber and sit in silence with nothing disturbing the placid emptiness. Derailments and hijacking are part of the fun here, you can't do that shit anywhere else. Threads flow like a conversation. It starts somewhere but there's no telling where it can end up. Back when this board was worth a damn it was accepted that /tg/ did not become the best board by rigidly staying on topic.

>>96285655
>Sitewide culture
My bad. I'll give you that one.
>I've witnessed it on every other board.
Such as? In my years of using this website I've never seen some idiot post his own address deliberately.
>what is this obsession with threads being "good enough"?
I come to this virtual bar to see interesting discussion to be had and it gets annoying when it is just warhammer after warhammer ad nauseum. Hence why generals are good for /tg/ specifically because they somewhat mitigate the amount of warhammer threads that get posted. But really I'll be vindicated and proven right as more pointless warhammer slide threads keep getting made.
>It also means that I open the catalog, see nothing but echo chambers, pop my head in, see nothing worth replying to
Do you think that maybe people who see constant warhammer threads being made do not feel the same way?
>Wrong again.
Show me how I am wrong then. I am okay with being proven wrong.
>Neither is it in a dedicated thread.
In a dedicated thread it will naturally be bumped until it reaches the nearing where it will be archived. It is relevant.
>Archives and screen caps exist for this exact purpose
Yes they do.
>you fool
There is always the spite I see. I'm starting to think that people just hate generals to go against the grain for no reason than to be different.
>They aren't funny, first off, secondly, needing to DIG for the funny instead of putting it front and center is idiotic.
Maybe image boards just aren't for you if that's the case.
>I sincerely hope this is a joke.
It is not. I am just saying that if someone wants to forgo a feature of anonymity it is their choice to do it. Not saying it is a smart decision.

>>96285786
>Generalfags don't imagine the negative impact it has on the experience is a negative
Some examples, please?
>If I have a question or a joke, should I pose it to a single thread or an entire board?
The single thread. And tech support is a good example because I had a question and it was answered and most slide threads pertaining to Warhammer are just questions.
>You aren't the arbiter of quality.
I am not, but as evidenced of "you missed the general" memes. It is pretty clear that the community is getting sick up pointless slide threads like Warhammer threads being repeated ad nauseum.
>You misunderstand why I don't like Reddit.
I don't know how you can be an oldfag and still think that generals are bad for /tg/. But I don't mind reading your point of view.
I have to go to work right now. If this thread isn't archived due to the endless spew of pointless slide threads I'll answer maybe tomorrow.

>>96268293
At this point the only threads getting bumped off the board are generals that hit bump limit or threads that have gone a full day without a reply, we're not losing anything good by having multiple 40k threads
