>>107868I actually 3d printed a few orks last year with the idea of creating an army. Probably a waste of time since I don't have any friends irl who would play (unless I printed them an army too I guess LOL). Ended up getting distracted by real life shit. It's a lot of work printing, painting, and assembling a billion little dudes and bikes and stuff. Playing a side game like necromunda or gorkamorka would be easier since you don't need as many models.

>Disregard the end times crap.It's not just driven by boardroom decisions. It was driven by a pure and seething hatred by games workshop for its fans.

They obviously intended for chaos to win, so they could close off the ip. And to tell that story, they had a big tournament and people would play their armies against one another in gw stores to determine the winner at different stages of the campaign.

That didn't fit with what gw wanted to have happen, so they started ignoring order faction wins and railroading the campaign toward a chaos victory.
People got mad and started throwing games and shit I guess. Eventually GW threw in the towel and just put it up to a vote, asking who people wanted to win. They chose the orcs, so they wrote a fluff piece about how the orc warboss kicked archaeon in the nuts and fucked off, leaving the whole thing unresolved. It was big egg on the face of games workshop for years.
So when they eventually decided they wanted to end the fantasy setting in order to prop up age of sigmar and warhammer 40k, they wrote that fluff in the most dickish way possible because they were still seething over being denied their chaos victory. That's why it feels like bad fan fiction. It was written as a hate letter to all the people who made them look bad like a decade prior.
There's a lot of extremely petty bullshit that
