Saw a YouTube video.

Thought it may give insight into who's playing TOW, old fans/computer game fans/other.

I was disappointed.

It was an old video I have seen before, and made me grumpy the last time.

The girl in it acts extremely young/nieve/ignorant.

She (and it could be a bloke, I'd be as grumpy) doesn't like the TOW army because it is:

Old, not heavy, among other nonsense.

Immediately she comes off as having the mentality of a child.

So, they are old models. Perhaps because they are good models?

By her own opinion, she hates everything she contently loves, because it will get old.

Adults are aware of time and have favorite things in the past that they weren't even around for (ACW, for instance).

She doesn't like them because they aren't heavy…

Just imagine her wee mind flipping out if TOW was all metal 80s. But, they would be heavy. Perhaps she would have a seizure.

I am convinced that her attitude is put on, trying to endear her to a male audience who just want to sit her on their knee. I get it.

Still bugs me though.

PS

It does bring up an interesting point.

These are the types of people GW have created. Only interest in modern stuff GW (or likely anyone else) sells.

Now they are pushing older figures and it's likely a problem.

Also she was saying how TOW looks like KOW…

I rest my case.

I think you need understand click bait on y-tube shows. People feed on influencers titles. That reinforcment thier own reasoning on why to or not play/buy a game. Nothing is ever good enough or bad enough for your enlighten influencers. You can watch video after video on a game and still never get a good idea about a game, unless you play it for yourself.

I think the idea she was puting it on plays into that as they needed completely opposite opinions for the he video.

She also said they remind her of Kinder surprise figures, as if Kinder surprise figures are bad.

This again suggests her age as modern Kinder surprise Toys are typically low quality licenced tat, unlike the higher quality diverse range of well designed toys in the 90s.

I think her stance and opinions were designed as bait for reasonable people who would just find her irritating.

I mean, she can't really be that stupid.

Yeah, it's got to be acting.

Just more annoying Youtubers.

I don't think she's got an Only Fans page but she can talk dirty to me in that accent any time.

Anyway, ToW: it was apparently successful as we are getting a new Army, not just 30 year old rehashes. Is the game for a modern generation? Probably not, too many figures. Nobody wants to paint 100+ basic troops. Even in Age of Sigmar your 10-20 model unit can return as reinforcements after being destroyed.

Conquest solves the problem by making models that are THICC so 5 model units are perfect on their 40-50mm square bases
