Post settings/games/stories that will never be properly represented in film. Stories that got made into absolute shit movies or shows also apply
Dune, maybe.
Halo.
Elder Scrolls.
That's all I can think of off the top of my head.
Hey, if they can make Watchmen and Dune into movies, anything's possible.
I'd like to see TORG done as a multi-genre, EVERYTHING AND THE KITCHEN SINK setting.
Also Rifts, except fuck Siembieda for his craziness and shitty treatment of freelancers. I don't want that asshole becoming a millionaire (again).
He will never get the treatment he deserves, fox is just gonna shit out another forgettable flop to spite marvel instead of giving the characters over to people who would at least make it enjoyable to watch
Tell me about the Lord of the Rings Strategy Battle Game. What went worng and what went right? What about the Hobbit SBG?
I heard that these two are actually the best GW games systems but I don't know if it's true or just a meme.
Why GW doesn't emphasize on the LotR/Hobbit marketing? I also don't see any equivalents of warhammer start collecting boxes for these games
>>54500255
The games were good but relied entirely on the movie hype. When the hype died down for the LOTR trilogy people stopped being interested, and the Hobbit movie didn't help.
I always found the miniatures to be sub-par for GW's standards. Thus i was not interested.
>>54500255
Lotr is not their property so they can't do as much with it as with 40k, and it doesn't help that the hobbit movies blew chunks and their hobbit version of the game was also not as good as the previous edition.
I wish they'd reuse those rules for more games, they were already used in their legends of the old west and high seas historicals but they'd fit anywhere that wasn't massive battles.
Indifferent.

What paints are the best for painting minis?
the ones that you don't have
General purpose: P3
Washes: Army Painter
Drybrush paint: GW (yes, it's worth getting; a pot lasts forever)
Metallics: Army Painter
Airbrush primer: Badger Stynylrez
Airbrush (non-primer): Vallejo for darker colors, Badger for lighter colors
>>54499638
I really like Citadel paints, but I hate the pots for the base and layer paints, because I've had a couple pots turn to crud.

How likely is Durkon to break free from the HPoH's control? Can he even do that?
>>54499247
Y'know if he keeps this pace up I'm going to have start giving a shit about this comic again.
>>54499247
God, this comic gets shittier with every update. WE CAN FUCKING SEE THE STONE CLERIC ON THE PANEL. HE CAN FUCKING RAISE A CATHEDRAL IN A DAY! HE CAN FUCKING STONESHAPE AROUND THE ROCK WALLS AND IGNORE THE FUCKING DOOR.
Burlew is a hack and a retard.
What are TG's opions on Chinese recasting of 40k stuff?
I recently found sisters of battle at $1 USD per standard bolter babe and special weapons/command at $4-5 per fig, so I'm tempted.
>>54498601
Look for the best recaster on reddit's yoyhammer for your figures.
I love them. It gives poorfags like me a chance to play.

So, seeing as fate of konor starts this week, what are you guys running for it? What side are you fighting for, and what's your fluff behind how your army got involved?
Also, who do you all expect to win it over all
>>54498359
Spiky Elves, almost exclusively jetbikes and hellions, Imperium, because fuck Slaanesh in missionary position for the purpose of procreation with the lights off while holding hands.
Anyone else pleasantly surprised with how vigorously GW is shutting down WAAC players?

So a bit of a conversation starter...
How has your Ork armies fared in 8th and Shadow War? Mine have done much better than in 7th. Walkers, skorchas, and infantry all seem way more viable now.
Q: why would anybody ever take warbikes in 8e ever?
People only took then in 7th so they could stack bullshit and get a rerollable 2+ cover. With no jink they're just boyz with big shootas, 4+, more movement and an overinflated price.
Should I replace my bikes with koptaz?
>>54497168
I'm currently working on replacing my bikes with stormboyz with a bike mek with a kff. Once the Ork Codex comes out I'm confident they will fix warbikers. The Space marine codex reduced marine bikers by 10pts
When it comes to conventional human armies vs magical armies, what is the most interesting way to handle it?
>Our weapons are useless against them, our swords shatter and they rise up from death. All we can do is delay and retreat to the last man. We need the chosen one to stop the evil wizard at the source
>They bleed. We can kill them. But there's just so many of them! We need a mcguffin or we're doomed
>This is war! A war we can win. It will be bloody, it won't be on our favor, but our numbers will tell the day as long as nothing bad happens
>Just make sure to have a wizard in your division or some magical weapons.
>>54497043
most answers here will be
>normal people always win, just snipe the mages before they react
or
>no defense is possible against foresight or meteor swarm, a single mage is worth a whole army
>>54497043
first you need to explain why these two are fighting.
>>54497080
Let's say they want the destruction of the human race.
