Bazinga!

I sense sarcasm in the topic.

Why peddle nonsense?

Is this that warcry one?

If so, it's probably going away to make room for Mordheim.

Maybe we'll be getting Gorka Morka next?

I just assumed it was your West Country roots coming through :-)

Was it AC/DC who were accused of having 8 albums that all sounded alike? To which the leader indignantly replied "We have 10 albums that all sound alike!"

That's what she reminds me of. Same rant, different video.

GMWKF is trading at $197 USD per share, down from a peak of $205 USD 2 days ago, but well above anywhere it's been since September 2022, when it hit $64. USD So I'm not too concerned.

I don't see how people can continue to watch her.

Woollygooseuk25 Apr 2025 1:25 p.m. PST

+1 John the OFM, though IIRC it was 11 albums that all sound the same.

Somewhere in there is some decent analysis (cf. her stuff on WOTC/DnD), but I agree that as a channel she's a bit of a one trick pony.

Her dulcet Northern Irish tones are a definite draw (please, please realise the sarcasm).

GW-bashing is a cottage industry. There are those (even some on this site; gasp!) who delight in it.

Give the loons a break. They aren't really hurting anyone.

It's quite funny – and it's getting a bit meta now as she at one point mocks her own content in the latest video. Self-deprecation is a great thing.

@ 20th Maine. I read her posts from time to time as I find her amusing. Maintaining the faux outrage must be exhausting.

Another You Tuber I sometimes watch is Aeons of Battle who is generally so GW-positive, it provides a nice counter-balance to our Northern Irish friend.

And let's be candid – amongst a sometimes repellent number of GW fans/detractors (best ignored), these two are just quirky & fun & maybe not to be taken too seriously.

Don't listen to her … poor old "Discourse Minis"!!!! She's always negative, her whole channel is always attacking GW and predicting that they're about to fail/collapse/the sky is falling. Years ago she used to make some good content about a range of different systems and hobby skills and things but for the last 2 or 3 years its all the same rubbish and conspiracy theory stuff.

Warcry is a great game. The only one available via downloads (rules and model stats). The game doesn't NEED anything else so it's hard to have a hype train.

joedog26 Apr 2025 2:42 p.m. PST

Shrill and annoying video.

Wish you hadn't baited me into tryingt o watch it.

Sorry 😐

@ochoin – wow, he is the inverse Discourse Miniatures !

"you're getting all the pox walkers you'll ever want!"

grin

Although I have to say Discourse makes good points on pricing – one of the great things about GW used to be that the starter sets were great value…even for non-GW players….and now, well, not so much. It does make me laugh (literally) that people will pay £36.00 GBP (what, $45 USD or so?) for a single normal sized foot figure. That is just insane – but I fully support their right to do so if that's what they want to do and I really can't blame GW for taking the money.

The H Man26 Apr 2025 6:33 p.m. PST

It is kind of weird.

On one hand they are selling to people with deep pockets who, apparently, find their modern stuff to be of quality (?!?).

Then on the other they are still targeting children?!?.

I am baffled by the photos in the partworks of little girls playing nurgle and such, like you would see in Lego catalogues.

Actually I wonder if anyone there knows what the heck they are doing at all.

The H Man27 Apr 2025 2:32 a.m. PST

I noticed the topic was corrected.

Still, should we call her??? Gertie, anyway?

Mostly because no one seems to be using a name and she??? should have one.

Just seems appropriate.

I have to say Discourse makes good points on pricing

The influencers have ideas what would make GW good: free rules, cheap models. Unfortunately for them GW stock is up 64% on the year.

I know what GW should change: absolutely nothing!
