That was when they were all metal, though? Wasn't that more expensive than when they brought out plastic sets for everything? (I thought WHFB started off as small skirmishers, but don't really know anything about it before about 4th)

When was it about big epic battles?

I mostly check out the website for MTO (or Old World) old minis on sale. Blood Axe Kommandos next week apparently. Or to look at terrain for inspiration for stuff I can make of bits of wood and cardboard.

Assuming that the copters are airborne, perhaps. Flying and landing them somewhere you don't want to personally go to play recordings isn't far fetched. All? Why all? Using human bait is hardly a new thing, using fake human bait is a slight update on that.

Last US president that saw combat fighting for their nation, IIRC. Bush junior was Texas Air National Guard during the Vietnam War, but didn't serve overseas, also IIRC.

Depends on your reading, but to me it doesn't actually say the quadcopters were the ones firing, just attracting.

Eh, always thought this film was made to appeal to those who are into Emma Watson seducing a buffalo. (That not really being my thing, I've not watched it to confirm)

They just released some new custodian models, so maybe more are coming. Interestingly, there's a thing of painting 40k models in gay or trans pride colours, and one such force got featured in GW's White Dwarf magazine.

I wouldn't, because I don't buy new models, but yeah, it's tempting.

This way, though, people saying they are boycotting them look a bit dodgy. But yeah, nothing of value is lost with this one.

Oh, how long do you reckon it'd be before it gets privatised again and the same thing happens?

Traditionalist want to go back to the good old days, when the poor knew their place and waterborne diseases were rife.

Hmmm, now that you mention it, they went back to that with Necromunda. And almost, with Mordheim, there were some undead and skaven warbands and stuff, and loads and loads of various humans fighting amongst themselves.

Originally it was all about sci-fi dystopian parody, but a lot of later stuff (especially the books) is about noble heroes fighting off evil. Meshing those two together hasn't been great, as a rule.

Oh sure, but if that was the plan, by the time everything fell apart that wasn't close to being on the table.
