So no one's posted anything here for a week?

[Rev. Tiberius Jackhammer]

I clicked on the first discussion of the new Tau releases I saw ("The new tau so far are pretty disappointing"). Some people think the new release looks underpowered, some think it's overpowered, some think we can't form any judgement yet. It's mostly civil, with some dumb ribbing.

If the backdrop was white and blue instead of grey and yellow, I'd assume it was BoLS.

Yeah...nobody wants grey and yellow BalLs

But then, Dakkadakka is the cesspit of the war gaming inter webs. Full of pointlessly angry neckbeards, proclaiming their hatred of all things GW from the safety of Mother's House.

Worse than warseer?

Graaah. I've got accounts on BoLS, Dakka, B&C and Warseer, and the most significant difference is BoLS's unwarranted superiority complex.

But it's totally warranted due to us being better than them

[Mr Mystery]

Much worse. At least when I haunted it's halls.

[Kaptain Badrukk]

I'm with psycho on this one. We are better (hurriedly heads off to make the same claim on the other three with his accounts there..........).

[Psychosplodge]

lols, all with the same name?

[Morgrim]

The fluff section on Dakkadakka is fine, and the sculpting and painting sections arguably better populated than BoSL. I can't comment on the 'tactical' bits though because I have learnt not to go anywhere REMOTELY near them.

[Psychosplodge]

So it's just like the rules threads?

[Kaptain Badrukk]

It's the same all over.
Haters gonna hate, trolls gonna troll, but great hobby is there if you look.

Yeah, I can get behind this. I find that the trolls treat it like a game, the people who are pleasant a hobby.

You're not painting figures for a game, you're painting your toy soldiers. YOUR toy soldiers. It can be very personal and possessive, but too many people just slap on a GW suggested painting scheme and push around nameless guys.

The hobby is a lot more fun when you paint your guys how you like and name them, then you get sweet stories like the ratling weapon team who killed a doomwheel--in melee combat.
