Galas Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Yep, bot universes are High Fantasy. The difference its were you center the action. In Warhammer Fantasy the historys thend to be about your common Joe or even guys like Gotrek and Felix. In AoS, beyond City of Secrets, all the narrative its about the Stormcast or in general, powerful beings. Just think about Game of Thrones. Its low-fantasy, and you have dragons, hordes of zombies, giants and magic. But 95% of the action its about a medieval story with 0 elements of fantasy. But this its offtopic, sorry!

Blueisola Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 My biggest gripe, and fear, when it first started showing up was the use of 'deathstar' being applied to AoS configurations. Cease and desist this awful practice immediately! Let it stay in that awful place where it belongs...[emoji57] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaldoBeardo Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 15 hours ago, J-P said: How about "narrative", "themed", and "high concept"? As note; I've searched a lot for a description or definition of "high concept" in regards to our hobby or art in general, but not found anything. I've seen and heard of armies being described as "high concept army", but never fully understood the underlying definition. I'm guessing it doesn't actually have anything to do with the number of colours used in said army - so what does it mean? What's the difference between that, and "themed"? Narrative: Don't *ever* ask the player about their army unless you have an hour to spare. Themed: Generally justification for including multiples of the most potent units, and/or a drybrush-over-black-undercoat paint job. High-concept: My army is utterly dumb, but if I call it high concept then people will feel dumb for not"getting it". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaleb Daark Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 "spec me" So, I can't be bothered to read or research a topic and make my own informed decision on the matter. I have no intention of wanting anything but the best and equally have no intention of ever suffering the pain of defeat or failure which I must take responsibility due to my own thought process... Oh and if you could give me any pointers on what to activate and when that would be good too. or... Please put the carrot in my mouth, take it out, bite it, chew it and then put it back in my mouth please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoffeeGrunt Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 *Post in the Death section asking for tips on starting an army.* *Player of another army appears.* "I don't know why you're bothering with Death, they're too weak an unsupported. Why don't you play Vanilla Golden Poster Boys instead? They've got a selection of cheese that'd make a Frenchman weep!" In fact just make this one count for any time someone answers a "help getting an army in this faction" post with, "don't get this faction, get another."

yarrickson Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 When certain people (who shall remain nameless) use the following trite, overused, unhelpful, meaningless nonsense phrase in response to any kind of rules question: "What do the words say?"

There's nothing funny/cute/clever about it. I really, really hate it. Might be the patriarch in me, being a dad of little girls has increased my hate of using the term so loosely. Hate it. Its used so much in online gaming and has spilled over into everyday normal use. I almost used it by mistake in a warhammer tv interview when talking about how my opponent could have positioned models either side and then raped my unit in the middle of the table... See/hear it all the time when gaming, although #rekt is taking its place now so thats good news Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galas Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Maybe we shouldent go down that rabbit hole, but yeah. The hypocrisy of calling others for using the tag "fascists" with everyone and then using SJW like a machinegun its infuriating. But I will no go further this discusion, its like a minefield!

Of course, these terms might be offensive to those players who have been pillaged or plundered in their pasts. Or know someone who has been a victim of pillaging or plundering. Better to just say nothing, maybe. No need to trigger players like Moonclan fanatics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dez Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 I don't do FB or much social media at all. Only sites I go to are for gaming really, so I'm (thankfully and purposefully) not privy to those flaming messes any longer. I didn't realize to be provocative, it certainly wasn't my intent and has been duly noted. Sorry all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DynamicCalories Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 The AoS facebook group is pretty good for pictures of painting etc but the comments are a flaming pile 90% of the time. Also release dates are the worst, 20+ pictures of unopened boxes of models. I am now just whinging, I have become the very thing i hate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
