If the Emperor had a Text-to-Speech Device

 

For those in the dark, Games Workshop has recently changed their rules and now FORBID any fan animation works. 

 

IT IS FORBIDDEN. 

 

 I did the things I could do easily.

- Send a complaint https://complaints.games-workshop.com/
- Unsubscribe from their emails.
- Post on my blog I would not be buying Games Workshop product.

And continue to send some money towards the creator of ITEHATTSD.

GW could fix this by removing the fan animations part. Someone at GW needs to understand the cost of them doing that out weighs the Public Relations Shitshow this is doing to their fans.


I might get over it if they ever release some new IG infantry (that's not Krieg, I actively dislike their figures and their background), though I presume that's years away.

Boycotting Games Workshop

Following Games Workshop banning of all Fan animations and video's, I have logged a complaint with GW and advised them I will not being buying any of their product at this time.

 

I advise everyone else to do the same.

Excuse the mess

I'm trying to re-do the blog so it works with Auto Ads - it would be nice to have some note for the time spent.

Hence the constant change. I'm not really happy with ANY of the default or suggested Blogger styles that work with the ad pages. And they don't seem to be displaying either!

Completed a Lockdown wish off my to-do list

Battletech Campaign Completed on IRONMAN

One thing that was on my COVID Lockdown To-Do list. The queen finished the final battle by doing an Alpha Strike from her ATLAS II at max overheat, into the back of the last and most evil traitor.  Very thematic.

I would give Battletech a 8/10. It's lacking combined arms/infantry/aerospace fighters and the "Mercenary Commander" is lacking "if I fire a 20 rack LRM, it's going to cost 15 more credits than that target is worth". But otherwise it's quite good. I need to do the FLASHPOINT missions but I'm not sure if I can bothered using a Stiener Scout Lance every time. Recommended for any fan of Battletech or turn based wargames. 

Not much news on the tabletop wargaming front. I have acquired enough terrain for a FOGN battle, and more than enough rough fabric to cover an entire table. I also have cardboard buildings, ruins and roads  and rivers for 28mm Oathmark and Rangers of Shadowdeep, though I need to put them together.

Next up, as it looks like LOCKDOWN is here to continue, would be to play some solo games of  Rangers of Shadowdeep. None of the figures would be painted, but we'll see.
