yeah, no. If I wanted to play 40k, I wouldn't

I already have two tac squads for my army, that I don't even plan on playing much. Don't need 3 more.

You're crazy.

>>43552008 Has the right idea.

Compare my picture to the Horus Heresy Boardgame. Now, I can understand that the American Civil War may not be to your liking when it comes to wargames, but bear with me.

Both games feature war between "brothers," and both boxes cost 95 pounds sterling.

The Games Workshop Product contains a grand total of 38 minis and some cardboard.

The Perry Brothers' box contains 181 minis, a house and four feet of fencing.

>in b4 "muh premium quality"

The American Civil War box was sculpted by former GW artists and their hard plastic models were injection molded by a former GW plastics guy.

You may like Warhammer 40/30k more than other games, but don't even try to tell me that it's a "discount," or that I'm a poorfag because I don't want to spend $150 on 38 plastic men.

>>43555092

>>43555092
No one plays that game though, as such that box has less value than BaC unless you are just going for the minis and going to make a diorama or just paint them.

>>43555134
>that game

You don't really think that there's only one game you can play with American Civil War dudes, do you?

>>43555092
OP here, not denying this is a better deal and more well made but the problem for me is I like the horus heresy a lot more than civil war.

holy shit. Is there a 28mm scale civil war game?

I LOVE historicals but the issue i have with most of them is they are all 7mm - 15mm scale and fuck painting those tiny bastards.


my wet dream is that the perry bros get the rights to make more LOTR minis. or that they start making "not LOTR minis" of their own.

>>43555169
Oh yeah, I'm not trying to insult your taste.
And for GW the Calth box is a good deal.

I just get triggered when people spaz out and say that Games Workshop is a "cheap" hobby.

>>43555179
There are a lot of 28mm Historicals and Light Historicals.

I'm particularly into SAGA now. A game of Vikings, Normans and shit.

>>43551326

Prepainted would ruin these though, a big part of the appeal is that they can be painted up as any Legion.

I'm not resisting not getting it.

I have completely succumbed to not getting it.

>>43551073
because i want to buy something worth while?

>>43551073
Because I can get everything in the box cheaper elsewhere.

>>43551073
Tiny map, shallow gameplay no doubt, like all GW boardgames. And most importantly...i am one of the three people alive who think the RT-era style of equipment is hideous and the 30k era has no special meaning to me.

>>43551073
I was briefly tempted, but at the end of the day it's just Space Marines. Aside from the boardgame itself, I'm never going to use the things, and the models themselves don't excite me. All in all I'd rather put the model towards the rebooted Corsairs FW should be releasing shortly.

>>43551073

Fuck quality, not only is that one of the least interesting points in earth's military histories, point me towards where there is even a single other player within three hours of me?

>>43557125

They are all multipart kits so you can grab FW upgrade kits for shoulderpads or different helkms and weaponry if you like. It comes with 9 heavy weapons, multiple dread arms etc so it is pretty versatile except for the characters

>>43557125
Yeah, I agree.
When I said "really bad", I meant "not impressed". Just bad wording on my part.

GW has come a long way in the modelling department, producing some badass models. While these models aren't exactly "bad", I'm not impressed either. I was expecting more.

>>43557190
Give me your city

>>43557266

Did you read exactly how many options you're getting here? These are not snapfit kits like DV

>>43556937
The contemptor is complete and utter garbage.

The Mk4 marines are worse than the FW ones, but are otherwise okay as far as unblinged plastic marines go.

The cataphractii look like their legs are way too long and lanky compared to the rest of them but they still look better than regular termies.

It's pretty much continuing the trend for GW for the last few years where the basic infantry are okay (not amazing) but everything else is crap.

>>43551124

>>43557352

>>43557933
If you need other races to have fun you are the boring one.

Also what is with all these people calling the ACW boring, nobody who gives a shit about military history would say that.

>>43557933
You're funny.

I never said, "Hey the American Civil War is more interesting than the Horus Heresy!"

No, I'm just pointing out that both boxes cost 95 pounds sterling, and that anyone who says that Calth is a "good deal" or that "Warhammer is cheap" is full of shit.

>>43557965

If I knew of some skirmish level ACW games I'd be really into it. I don't think I'd buy the big Perry Box because I don't need 180 soldiers though.

>>43557967
But £95 for models I don't want is a bad deal. £95 for models I do want, and cannot get for anything like that cheap from elsewhere, is a good deal.

It's like Mantic stuff that gets fanboyed all over /tg/. Yes, you can get more models for your money, but (for the most part) those models are terrible and I don't want to own them, so any money I spent on them would be wasted.

>>43557965
Alternatively,i just dont give a flying fuck about ACW

>nobody who gives a shit about military history would say that.

>every REAL historian,would OBVIOUSLY agree with my personal tastes in historic events

>>43557967
Then you are comparing apples and oranges: if one is less fun than the other for the same price, then it is less good. i dont think anyone has EVER claimed warhammer is cheap,

>>43558014

This guy claimed it was cheap:
>>43551962

And how can we forget all the apologists who try comparing Warhammer to other "expensive" hobbies like car repair.

>>43551073
I'm not getting it. Why would I resist.

>>43551073
I pre-ordered KD when it was this price... I think I'll just stick with the 20lbs of Tits and Ass.

>>43558014
Everybody who knows anything at all about military history would realise why the ACW is significant yes.

>>43558036
welp, fuck that guy. i think what he trying to say,though his hamfisted typing, is that for 40, these are good prices.and he is right,it just so happens 40k is fucking expensive.

>And how can we forget all the apologists who try comparing Warhammer to other "expensive" hobbies like car repair.

TBF, there are some fairly expensive hobbies out there that arent as extreme as car repair (jesus christ,my father in law does that shit,and bloody hell),such as horse ridding, or LARPing. its all just a spectrum, with masturbation one end,and private jet crash rally at the other

>>43558159
Significant =/= interesting you double nigger. again, it may be super significant to you, but to me, eh, its a different countries history.

>>43558159
Every period had a war that was significant in some way. It doesn't make it interesting. Then again, ACW was essentially napoleonic warfare with modern guns proving even futher what a bad idea it is. So boring as fuck is at least mercifuly shorter by virtue of removing models faster.

>>43558174

Oh yeah, I agree that in GW's World, Calth is a great deal.

I'm honestly just burned out with GW. I've done my time in 40k and WHFB, and it's just not worth the price to me anymore.

>>43558228
>I'm honestly just burned out with GW. I've done my time in 40k and WHFB
i got that way with WHFB, and AoS was the last nail in the coffin. i am just hoping that 30k can sustain me (seems to be doing a good job)

>>43558383

I just can't not envision AoS happening to 40/30k in the future.
It's bad enough that I'm considering selling off my 40k and re-investing that money into other games.

I already have hundreds of Perry ACW and Napoleonics.
I only have 15 MkIV marines.

It's not an either/or situation.

As a historicals gamer I hate it when people trot out the "but historicals are so much cheaper why would anyone buy 40k" argument, thinking that every current GW customer is only buying GW because they are ignorant of the true faith.

>>43558545
That was not even slightly his point.

>>43558578
Beat me to it. But spergs gonna sperg and what not.

>>43551073
by not caring about it, after AoS i lost all interest on anything from GW but the vidya

>>43555179
>Is there a 28mm scale civil war game.

There are dozens, if not hundreds of rulesets for mass battle 28mm, skirmish 28mm, etc for the American Civil War.

>>43558545
That's only because A: A lot of them did start out Wargaming using GW and are amazed at how much they were blinded to the wider hobby and or B: They want to show people who think that wargaming is just GW or a GW competitor that the hobby is much wider, broader and affordable than just what GW offers.

>>43551104
Seems pretty fairly priced to me. I mean going on the vague prices of shit back when I was playing 40K (very vague since I didn't play SM so don't know costs). This is all AUD by the way.

>2 heroes - $40+
>5 termies - $50?
>30 tac marines, $150+
>Dreadnought - $50?

That's already $290+ before books and shit, and the kit costs $265 over here. Not to mention the kits actually cost more these days of course. The sheer volume of marines in it almost has me tempted to buy it just to model up and display all that delicious MKIV armour.

>>43558400
>I'm honestly just burned out with GW. I've done my time in 40k and WHFB

the only evidence of this is scare mongers. 40k and WHFB are in totally different boats in terms of profitably .it dsent need the shake up WHFB needed

But hey I got a heap of them for cheap right?

>>43555092
you're not thinking just completely right.
Look at those exact same models that are in the BaC minis, sold in minor squads or one-on-one on Forgeworld.

If you wanted the same things you get in the box, you'd have to shell out atleast double the cash, ore with the shipping counted in - and even then, you get their disgusting finecast-lookalike dung, while the GW box is in full-plastic.

So while I do agree that the box is expensive, it's a hell of a lot cheaper than it would be to but the miniatures by themselves.

I am getting it though. I just need 20 maroons from the box and I'll have a complete 30k army. I've had everything budgeted out since the sprues leaked. Just finished a Soviet tank corps and I'm ready for this now.

I'm not resisting. Heck, I'm moving the product.

>>43551073
Don't like that Power armour and I already have enough Iron Armour, plus enough Space Marine models in general I guess.

Same with the contemptor, already have two FW ones and this one seems underwhelming.

I'll just buy the Terminators off Ebay and torrent the book.

I already have unpainted stuff stretching back over a decade, not much point in buying stuff I'll never get around to painting.

The only thing that is stopping me from getting it is the worry that the marines will just turn out to be the generic, Assault on Black Reach kind. Plus, Forge World's level of detail is likely higher than those in Calth.

I guess it would be tough to find someone to play with if you don't have any friends.

>>43557965
Absolutely. I mean, the American Civil War actually happened, which is more than can be said for GRIMDARK SPACE WARS. I guess 40k is fine if you just want to play a game, but I can't imagine that it offers any insights into real life tactics. Wargaming the ACW is both fun AND interesting, because with a good rule set you can actually get a feel for the problems faced by real commanders in the field.

I'm not even particularly interested in the ACW, by the way. But it has to be about 100x more interesting than space orcs.
