So it's objectively a good preview, don't get me wrong, and Cursed City looks effin' amazing. Just... still more Lumineth, and another character for Nighthaunt, who are overloaded on (also fairly essential) characters as it is? Not complaining, it looks nice, I just... wonder.

Squeak. So corona, lockdown and everything else actually deterred me from any hobby this year and apparently the last time I checked this thread, @Gwendarwas confidently looking forward to NOVA back in March. So almost a year on, where do we stand, furry compadres? How fares that mighty race of noble rats in the current WarHam landscape?

In the UK at least, the furlough money is a grant, not a loan, and as such is not repayable. GW (and The Spectator spits) are doing it out of what must assumedly be a sense of civic duty or an eye for good publicity.

Hey, don't get me wrong, I've taken girls into Warhammer shops on (almost) first dates after they've asked about my hobby! Tip: shoot for artistic ladies and they'll be much more likely not to give you an odd look and back away slowly 😅

This is the biggest deal to me. Coming at a time when record numbers of people are out of work, and against a backdrop of historic profits, the optics are extremely bad. Perhaps it makes economic sense: maybe it's inflation, maybe this was planned to cancel out a certain expected loss of revenue from X, Y or Z, I don't know. But millions of people suddenly have a LOT less money to spend, and "little plastic soldiers I paint and play dice games with" are going to be first on a lot of chopping blocks, doubly so if they know cost €10 more than before. I can only speak personally, but even though I've been making more money than previously, I've really cut back my purchases this year and limited it to Long Boi the Big Cat. Partly this is because there's just nothing new I want, partly it's because increasingly I struggle to justify dropping half a hundred on a box of dudes and some paint. We'll see.

I am curiously interested, in a "maybe this will help with the burnout" sort of way. I will say HOMEBREW on the grounds that I don't know anything about the Neon thing but I'm easy like Sunday morning.

Guys I'm sorry I'm not letting this go, we need to talk about this.

Not for the first time, any and all lust to hobby has completely gone. It had gone before the lockdown but the last five weeks, which one might have imagined would be incredibly conducive to hobby, have instead just seen me glance from time to time at my Chaos Warriors and paints, then shrug and say, "not today". It's really depressing me, and I wasn't a bundle of sunshine to begin with.

Very good preview, especially Necron Boi and the shadow elves, BUT what is up with that one elf's bondage trousers...?

AHAHAHAHAHAHA wtf that giant stone cow with a hammer I'm dying

"Gas-rat!" Markus Kruber, Vermintide 2

We could have had Idoneth, Slaanesh, Bonesplitterz, Seraphon, Slaves To Darkness...

Another Ironjawz warband? Yawn.

Grusomely glorious!
