Most I've seen is fighting over rule wordings.

Yeah, I've never seen this stuff either. I suspect these kinds of things rear their heads more often in the bigger places. Helsinki only has a couple of stores where you can actually play. Three or four for mtg and other card games, and I think only GW for tabletop (do they even have in store tables anymore? I haven't been to the store after they moved a couple of years ago) I think. There's a couple that used to have the option but one of them moved to a smaller, yet arguably better spot so there's no room anymore, and the other one moved aswell, which kinda eliminated that. They do keep a couple of tables where people play, usually just ccgs though.

It could be true, my sisters were always weirded out goign into the local GW to picks tuff up for me if they were in town. They liked the stuff but found most of the other clientel to be far too creepy.

I always wrote it off simply as nerds who simply don't see women that often, let alone one that might interested in thier hobby and to be frank generally found a lot of the other customers at GW a bit creepy myself. I can also understand the boys club thing where gaming is sort of seen as the last male only bastion and a place where you can safly joke aroudn in ways that are simply not acceptable elsewhere. I'm fine with that when it is just guys but honestly if thats what you want then you have to keep it private if you are playing in public/open areas you have to forget it and just enjoy the game.

Every GW store I've seen has in-store tables.

Then you can play there, altough obviously only GW games. They've been downsizing so harshly these last few years I wasn't sure.

is it really true that Great Enemy, the Matt Ward, really left GW in 2014 because people kept sending him death threats?

If so, that is no laughing matter at all.

Not into black humor, I see.

After what he did to Necrons, he could totally expect grimdark response. There were murders of people for virtual, non-existent, MMORPG swords.
And he couldn't expect such crazy response from population loving Necrons and Chaos?

Death threats aren't something such a plain writer should expect.

It's more GW's fault, really. They should know for years which fluff could be deemed appropriate by fan community.

I never saw many complaints about making Ultramarines overpowered demi-gods, but it was total mayhem after he basically destroyed Necrons.

No, no it wasn't.

...but to be fair to him and Church of Ward, actually anyone can get death threats these days, you need only one single crazy neighbour, colleague or ex-girlfriend.

these threats were either numerous or his nerves are not Ultramarine-like strong.
if something truly awful happened i say he should share it.

Dude, you need to go visit an optician.

In local WH community, 95% was truly, mostly pissed off by this, not so much by this

Ultramarines were bullshit, necrons were just controversial.

See?

Also, the mess that was Grey Knights.

The Chaos Cultists from Dark Vengeance will be released in a separate box of 20 + 1 Aspiring Champion

[Cymrea]

This really seemed to sum up the sentiment at the time, at least where I am.

€50,- I believe.

So 100 nzd.

[The Armed Republic of Dutch Coolness]

€38,- for 20 cultists and an aspiring champion is actually pretty good! Shame they don't include the Dark Vengeance ones, though...

Those are class looking.
