That is a racist assumption. What would you think if somebody told you that you should look for a car engineer among white people rather than black because they have longer history with this subject and more white people work in the industry? Wouldn't you be offended by this unfair assumption?

I've just asked you to provide a way to hire more people of color by GW without discriminating white people at the same time. There is nothing offensive here. It would be beneficial for you and GW if you can come up with at least one idea. If you withdraw however I will respect that.

Don't you see that the very idea of hiring people based on their skin color is racist? Even despite the means to reach that goal you start to divide people by their race. Skin color should never be brought up when we compare people for a job. What meaning does it have? Either we agree that skin color has nothing to do with a person's qualifications, or we implement diversification policies. If race doesn't matter, why should any company try to hire more people of certain skin color? It's a contradiction.

I didn't bring up this topic. I share my opinion. I will rename my nick as I keep hearing it disturbes people. It's not an argument though. If you think I'm wrong with what I wrote,please provide an argument.

And they should choose those sculptors and writers based on their skin color?

Go on. Explain me how GW should hire more people of color without treating them special while they apply for the same position as a white guy.

You can't force hiring more people of color without doing what I've mentioned above. You either treat everyone equally or you discriminate one group by hiring based on race.

This is exactly why leftist ideologies are so dangerous and harmful. You don't see the obvious that your expectations are extremely racist. You want GW to fire white people and hire people of color. You want to treat white people worse just based on their color of their skin. If you don't ensure equal chances for each person to apply for a workplace and want to apply parities you are in fact discriminate a certian group of people. Qualifications (education, expierience, etc.) of a person should be the only criterion for a job. Not their gender, race, religion. If you want people of color to have special reliefs or additional points while applying for a post you are looking down on them with superiority because you suggest that they need special treatment and unfair help to get a job. This is absolutely racist. If I were from a minority and got the job just because company wanted to implement leftist ideologies I would feel ashamed and humiliated.

GW is the one who brought up the topic. I wouldn't mind this statement if it was posted independently from american events we are all aware of. Diversity in miniatures is great. I'm always pleased if I don't have to paint an army of clones. It disturbes me however. Everyone can have their opinion on BLM thing and if GW signs it with their name in a way, I'm afraid they may take an wrong route of mindlessly applying parities in their range. What could this mean in exaggeration? Each and every faction would have to include every skin tone and 50% of the models would have to be female. Or, even forced to include transgender characters. Is it wrong? You are obliged to have your own opinion. For me it's exactly the opposite of diversification. For me diversity is when I see a 100% male Kharadron Overlords army vs 100% female army of DoK and 100% army of hermaphrodite orks (right?) than seeing 50% of man and women across all of them. This situation is not so simple. I used to work out at a gym for 2 years 4 times a week while being on diet and with using nutrients for bodybuilders. Even though I'm male I wasn't as shoulders wide as Abby in TLoU2. I you think gender doesn't have an effect on muscle gain please read biological coursebooks or ask yourself a question why men and women don't compete together at Olympics. A women living in a post-apo environment, with food shortages is looking more muscular than any other male character in the game. Highly unbelievable without taking hormones by a woman. Some people bought the game unaware of the controversy. I was one of them. Didn't read anything prior to premiere being afraid that it will spoil the story for me. Naughty Dog lost me as a client. Not because of Abby which in the end I like better than Ellie and they did a good job to tell her story and fit it well in TLoU2 setting. It's because of a "leftist lecturing" which I truly hate and believe it to be one of the most destructive practice nowadays. They implement "minority stuff" in a way that puts a player against the wall with obvious leftist liberal narration that turns out to be poorely executed propaganda. The gameplay is great on the other hand. If you don't mind being indoctrinated, try the game. There is one more thing I would like to talk about. People here speak that they would like to see more female models. I'm okey with that. Just one point - do we treat AoS setting as a full high fantasy where everything is possible or we want it to be some kind of reflection of the real world? If the second is the case you all perfectly know that history of mankinds wars was written by men. it's not a sexist's opinion, that's a simple fact. Men were the soldiers (in 99,99% cases?) while women played equally important role of running the countries, households and keeping care of the children during war times. It was dictated by our biology which for me is a fact and should not offend anyone but I'm not forcing this on anyone. Be happy to have your own opinion and say it out loud. Men being stronger physically and more aggresive due to testosterone are more suited for swinging swords which was reflected during our history among all races and cultures. If we agree on this (no obligation on your side of course) should we really want 30-50% of women representation among AoS armies? It might be natural for specific armies (DoK being 90% female or any other you can think of that make sense to you) but should it be stretched across each and every army? It would me more natural in my opinion to have female archers or mages rather than warriors wieldieng two-handed swords on the frontline in a full plate armor. I was carefull not to offend anyone but still know this: I'm a guy who gladly painted I guess 80 dryads, Alarielle, Drycha and is happy to paint my female Idoneth models. I'm not sexist, racist or whatever. If you feel that I hurt your feeling, please tell me about, don't report or ban me mindlessly. I'm open for discussion. Have a nice day.

There is a huge demand for human factions other than Stormcasts according to this forum. Even if GW didn't have any designed before, now I believe they are working on it. They've already proved to be listening to their customers. It might take a few years but eventually they will introduce new human faction.

In order of purchase: Idoneth Deepkin, Gloomspite Gitz and Kharadron Overords. Untouched. Have some plastic Ogors from 2x boxes of Feast of Bones as well and maybe I will start with them after I paint my last three models from Ossiarch Bonereapers (2k) since Ogors are low model count army. 2k fully painted - Nighthaunt and Sylvaneth. 1k painted - Khorne and Stormcasts. If I manage to paint one more army this year it won't be that bad. Two armies a year is a good score in my opinion. Do you have a grey pile of shame as well?

OK, just ordered my Lumineth Box. I don't know what is wrong with me. I really don't need it since there are still unopened 3 armies on my shelves each worth at least 2000 points. I am comforting myself that there are worse, more expensive addictions out there.

What do you mean by saying collector set?

Any word on the new General's Handbook?

Sorry to interrupt but I really rather don't want to read 100+ pages of my absence on tga: are there any rumours for future releases? The last thing I know is that Giants are coming after Lumineth.

I'm not sure what to think of it. Yes, there is the benefit of easier access for new players and for old players to start a new army but what about those players that have already optimized their armies, made their list, and most important, spent their money on models that now are redundant? It's one thing when they increase in points one unit, decrease another and totally different when they just say to their customers "thx for your cash but you needlessly bought those 15 last minis for Orkz, 20 for Tyranids and 5 for Eldar."

If it was up to me I would even erase allies mechanic. Just like when armies are monofaction. Thank you actually. I use written English far too seldom.

I don't like that giants can be taken by any army. They loose their uniqeness. Anybody knows what happened to Aleguzler Gargants Colossal Crushers box? It seemed like a good deal. Hope it returns or GW creates a similar box. Does anybody know how tall are new Giants? Like 4 liberators one on top of the other? Predictions in inches/mm?

Giants are awesome. Can't imagine not to buy at least one. I wonder how many will be possible to be put on table at once and still be competetive. Three like in Nurgle case with GUO? On the other hand Lumineth don't really float my boat which is unexpected since I loved High Elves (but it was before AoS with its cool, unusual minis lunched though). Too simple, not anything special.

I would be satisfied if GW showed rest of Lumineth and just size comparison of Giants to any existing units. Edit And I still think it would be weird if they didn't make Tyrion.

I just hope giants are bigger than Treelords. Don't expect Imperial Knight size but their name needs to have a reason.

I really like direction they took with box set. I wasn't sold with Lumineth but this box might change my mind if the price is right. Expect more than just combined prices of start collecting, battletome and accessories. As for the Giants... I don't like where they mention sth like "even some new giants". The right ratio is 90% new models, 10% old. They sound exactly opposite.

compare jewels, bones and runes. Ossiarch Bonereapers.

OBR Warband 100%. I'm currently painting an army of them.
