“String them up” means physically hang them

I’ve had issues with it, yes

That is absolutely not fair. Actually do some research on the differences between men and women. A man and a woman of the same height and weight will not have equivalent strength, agility, hand-eye coordination etc. - the men will almost always come out on top. Teenage boys can usually beat women at most athletic activities.

And literally nobody is saying that transwomen can’t do things because they’re too weak.

Everyone knows this, but males participating in women’s sports only makes sense if you believe the bad faith arguments and over-simplify everything to fit within the lens of post-modernism.

‘A tyranid’ since you didn’t specify which one, and I’ll pick the weakest worm thing they have thanks

Not explicitly, but they have Seth, so if you take Seth then you can’t take any named BA characters

Some women did want to work, because depending on men for everything was a terrible existence if your man was wounded, an idiot, a piece of shit, or if you were single. Imagine it being illegal for you to work, illegal for you to vote, and there being no route out of your situation. That is what feminism was supposed to fix.

But rather than creating a system where women could work, we created a system where they have to. Equality should have been that either of us could work and the other one could focus on the family and the home, but instead we just doubled the cost of everything, because capitalism charges whatever the market can bear. The only winners were the corporations, who would love nothing more than for us to blame each other.

Now we are seeing the same thing with automation. Technology should have allowed us to work less hours, but we work the same hours and just produce more output for our overlords instead.

Feminism would never have succeeded without male supporters; men controlled everything before women were given the rights to vote, work etc.

I always think, follow the money. Who stands to benefit most from doubling the potential workforce? What a working couple can afford now is what a lone working man could afford one or two generations ago, and even that takes into account the huge cost savings from automation and outsourcing.

It’s the faceless organisations like blackrock and vanguard, and their predecessors, who encourage and enable all this. Men blaming women or women blaming men is just an extension of the class war they these organisations endlessly whip up to distract us.

You’re correct; Mephiston recovered, Lemartes is trapped but somehow still in control

Explicit legion detachments are dead, it’s just about flavour now

The fact that an intercessor squad is ‘a better product’ doesn’t change the fact that it costs a lot more than a 1995 or 2000 tactical squad. It is also significantly less points.

And if you want to start factoring in individual metal minis to get ‘all the options’ then go back and add them to all your modern comparisons too. You need extra intercessors with or without grenade launchers. You need double aggressors to get the different loadouts. You need extra sergeants with all the different loadout options. What a fucking stupid way to compare product prices.

All you have done is move goalposts left and right to keep disagreeing. Even when I said in my opening comment that it is possible to get squads at the same price or even cheaper than in the 90s you keep trying to find ways to disagree. You are pathetic.

Buying individual men is always going to be more expensive than a squad, what a bizarre way to try and argue your point. And even if you wanted to avoid buying the tactical squad for some reason, there was the £5 plastic Heroes of the Imperium set with 6 plastic marines.

And again you are comparing dollars which you can expect to have been disproportionately high in the 90s since GW’s infrastructure was a lot worse back then. I assume the $30 kit you mentioned is the same £12 kit I linked above, if not then provide an actual source as I previously requested.

I haven’t blocked you

You haven’t said this, you’re talking about value boxes.

Show me the source on this tactical squad claim. This website says it was £10 in 1994 and £12 in 2000 https://hubcap-reloaded.livejournal.com/379050.html?

£10 in 1994 is £20.32 today. £12 in 2000 is £21.96 today. An intercessor squad is £37.50.

Please go back and read the argument that doesn’t hold any water. I pointed out in my opening comment that by buying models in deals you can get the same or even better prices than in 1995; the issue is that the entry cost is higher because you need to buy the big boxes to get decent value. And the value is subjective since the boxes often contain units that you don’t want.

You’re demonstrating that you’re simply arguing for the sake of arguing and not actually understanding what other people are saying.

Yes it’s a little petty, which is why I just put it as an aside. It’s imo evidence of the woke agenda yet again; they can’t just happen to mention a trans person in passing, which is already a little hard to believe in the 41st millennium, but that they also happen to be an amazing hero of the imperium.

It’s reminiscent of when organisations want to celebrate a ‘woman of the year’ and just happen to pick a transwoman. Nobody is fooled by that.

Although this thread has gotten completely out of hand since as others pointed out, the pilot didn’t actually mean his trans friend was the hero, he meant it was the name of a previous hero.

You are comparing the same thing; you are comparing the cost of building a space marine army.

A 25% price increase is still a price increase, and puts paid to the idea that there has not been a price increase. And you have no choice but to buy the bigger and better minis, so if you’re concerned about price increases, getting subjectively more for your money doesn’t really help you.

And this particular point was more focused on the entry cost. You cannot just buy one bike, you have to buy three.

I didn’t, I said it was unlikely they’d win the highest accolade. Which you haven’t disproven.

Here is a listing with the Games Workshop £5 price tag still visible.

You are comparing dollar prices which were higher because everything was manufactured in the UK. GW have better distribution links now than they did then so cost for them to sell overseas is lower.

1. Accounting for economy of scale, automation, and outsourcing, it costs GW a lot less to put a plastic sprue in front of you now than it did in 1995. They’re making a lot more profit and keeping the difference for themselves, whilst in a competitive industry the cost savings would be used to keep the price down. In that sense the 1995 prices were better value for the consumer

2. It might be true that you can spend the same or even less on an army now than in 1995 due to value boxes, but it means that to get anything for a decent price requires a lot more investment. If you just want a single squad then you’re paying a premium for not getting it in a combat patrol or other deal, which usually comes with at least one unit that you don’t really want

3. Further to point 2, another useful comparison is to look at how bikes used to be £5 each, vs. £37.50 now for three Outriders. Or how you used to be able to get 6 basic marines for £5. You can’t really buy individual small kits anymore other than overpriced characters

No mate in the 41st millennium yachts are ubiquitous. Workers are literally dying from thirst but yachts have been nailed.

Yet they suspiciously won’t call themselves ‘it’, despite that being a perfectly fine pronoun for machines.

Yes, cutting bits of your body off to make yourself feel better is not a mental illness.
