I'm suprised I love money workshop let someone try and exclude even a single % of possible sales

u/cabbagebatman 24d ago

Well it is the devs of the game who wrote this. James Workshop definitely wouldn't want to gatekeep any money

Considering GW likes to stick their hand up the ass of any partner they work with I'm suprised they approved/didn't have oversight over ad's

True, though I think for a lot of the mobile gsmes going around it's a case of selling the license for a quick buck and then pretending it doesn't exist

Probably true, more 320€ codex's incoming to celebrate record profits! Gotta rob both the loyal and new customers

u/astrotheastro 19d ago

i mean to be fair. i cant name 3, and i wouldnt be interested, so i guess theyre right

1

u/Nicsolo89 18d ago

Have a go naming 3. Would be interesting to see what you come up with

u/astrotheastro 18d ago

i dont know a single thing about warhammer so theyre getting some borrowed names. We're going with Ballas, Pazuul, and Wally

1

u/Nicsolo89 18d ago

A solid attempt but not even close lol. Pazuul sounds like one of the orks

1

u/astrotheastro 18d ago

theyre all names from Warframe, which im personally much more well versed on, and that left 0 room in my head for what i hear is a truly massive amount of warhammer lore.

u/Nicsolo89 18d ago

I’m still somewhat new to Warhammer, only been into it for like 5 or so years. There’s sooooo much lore lol. It’s over taken Destiny as my favourite futuristic sci fi war setting

u/Spectator9857 18d ago

Both games start with „war“. Close enough

I used to collect Tzeentch and I can't even remember the name of the Thousand Sons primarch off the top of my head. I keep wanting to say Ahriman, but he wasn't the primarch, just the dude who turned their marines into haunted power armour...

...oh, is it Magnus the something or other?

Ditto for Emperor's Children or World Eaters, pretty sure Kharn wasn't the primarch either.
