From 98 to 2004 was the Andy Chambers era I was a part of. Hearing Tex explain that time in GW's existence like he did reminds me those *were* the golden years. Before the late 2000s to early 2010s fall, the lore, the rules, characters, errata, etc. was comprehensive, flowed much better overall, and formed a more cohesive, organized narrative temperature for the universe, regardless of holes in logic.

[@grayfiresoul]

@Druid Of Scosglen Exactly. I used to amass codexes for those reasons. Third edition Eldar was my first ever army, and I remember being awed by everything crammed into the book for its size. What's important to get across here is that there's a massive pandora's box of thens vs. nows we could get deeper and deeper in to. There are so many more points to make about other topics, it'd just make the old guys more depressed, and make the new kids wonder if they're even a member of the same hobby we're talking about.

[@richmcgee434]

Chambers was hugely influential long before 98, but the company was less universally known in the 80s and the early-to-mid 90s were full of growing pains for them. I can remember Chambers and Johnson showing up at our (upstate NY) local game store to pimp 1st ed Epic Space Marine simply because it was one of the first stores to commit to carrying the full GW line back then. Different times, different management, and effectively a different (and much better) company.

[@grayfiresoul]

@@richmcgee434 Chambers was with GW for about 25 years on and off, I think - I could be mistaken. I want to say I remember seeing the occasional White Dwarf on some store shelves here and there in 97, but then picking up an issue in 98 and seeing Andy there in an article for a battle report. It's been a long time and I'd need to go through the stack of 90s WD I have to find it. I wasn't there in 1990, but even from my starting point eight years later, it's been one hell of a continuous downhill.

As someone who decided to make their own setting, seeing Warhammer die is still a bitter hatred. Sure, it opens more space, but at the same time it's something that's inspired and amused me for decades and through the darkest times in my life. It's a tragedy, and a furious one.

[@DreadnoughtFiend]

Out of curiosity what's you setting like?

[@Deadsnake989]

I'm in a similar boat. I've been building a universe for 20 years now that was originally based off of Starcraft, which in itself is a Warhammer clone. But after I discovered 40k through Dark Crusade, I drew a lot of inspiration from that universe when fleshing out my own universe. For example, my equivalent to the Imperium originally wasn't religious. I actually didn't really have much motivations for them, other than they were fighting against a force that wanted to exterminate them. But that was only a workable motivation for a single story. So eventually I made them like a space faring British Empire, who felt they had a divine mandate to enlighten the rest of the Galaxy. I also had a faction who originally were nothing more than 'flightless Avian's who are physically more frail than humans' but the Tau gave me the idea to mech them a tech savvy race that used drones and mechs to make up for their physical short comings. The list goes on as to the different things I took inspiration from 40k from.

And the he gets attacked by people that didn't do any off that, nor have thought about something like that. Thinking they are the good guys for attacking a person who did jobs needed to help people in theire darkest hour, who does more good in one day then most of these people have done in their entire life. For talking with someone who is not agreeing with theire extreme ideology.

I have to say I love how Tex just starts watching hydraulic press videos in the middle of your conversation. You talked about the hydraulic press, and sure enough that's what he started watching. It's so great.

[@Dalton791000]

I refuse to give up on a sequel to this conversation.

I hope that boycotting Warhammer+ will snap GW out of it. I got into this franchise in 2013, through TTS, buying audiobooks off the Black Library app, and was recently about to start playing tabletop. And then this happened. I don’t want it to go

[@CTA12356]

The arrogance and ignorance of the GW hardcore fans will drown it out unfortunately. GWS marketing never targets the current consumer it always looks to ensnare new customers

Tex's lore videos are my 2nd favorite lore videos right after Arch's. So to have both these Guys on the same show is awesome.

[@tirirana]

Oh, great collaboration. I love Battletech and I loved 40k, up until maybe 2006. Got lured back with the new Dark Eldar models, but it didn't last long. I still remember all the people who gushed about the transition to plastic: "Every unit will come with 20 models. Every character model will come with a sprue of all the equipment it can use. Everything will be better and cheaper." I'm still laughing. In some way I like plastic, because I always enjoyed modifying my models and making them unique, which is easier with a softer material, but GW's stance on modifications and 3rd party parts was always horrible.

Don’t forget that the concept of “Power Armor”(aka the primary thing one sees when they look at a Space Marine or Sister of Battle) In science fiction owes its origins to Starship Troopers(the book, not the movie)

Is Tex a poet, prophet or something? Dude is fucking deep as hell.

[@Deepingmind]

The answer is Yes

[@steakthedoggaming5333]

@@Deepingmind The answer is no, he’s just a whiskey soaked voice. PRAZE Z0RG!

Tex is a voice on the net that likes, whisky, stompy robots, and dakka. Cool and awesome guy.

That Tex guy has a voice like velvet, god damn.

[@acidnine3692]

I am one of those weirdos who got into Age of sigmar, and now I feel like stopping myself. I loved the high fantasy imagination of Atlantis elves, stormcasts and dragons, but even now I feel like a dark cloud is over GW as a whole with how they are treating things. You guys are pretty much convincing me to look at other options

[@mikehendon7327]

Confrontation is a game, with gorgeous minis. Same withe Legends of Signum (same sculptor). Nobody to play them WITH near me, but...maybe this mess might get fantasy fans to look into such things

[@acidnine3692]

@@mikehendon7327 worst part is, GW just released the shit I really like. I love the high elf line (except the moo-elves. Mountains are awesome) for the ancient battleline aesthetic, a mass of pikes. After having bought them and played them on TTS, there is no way 10 of them is worth $60. Now they are teasing some amazing scults for dragons and dragon riders, stuff I been wanting since they dropped the old High elf line. Gonna look at those two games. Maybe they got stuff on TTS too...

[@catboxvideo]

One of the reason I always loved the great battletech - this salt shaker is a locust, this pepper mill is a .. this ... is a blank... never got into Warhammer past the Chaos Gate video game, but the lore in Battle Tech is so deep and so rich

Tex's channel is awesome. Arch is also awesome.

[@silverbackseven7]

THIS is what Tex caught all this hell over? WTF

[@richardhowells5804]

Even if GW kills 40k. We still have the older editions and can work with friends to find the best mix of rules.

This is so chill, wholesome, went through hardship and passes on the wisdoms he took from that; all with an awesome voice. Will definitely drop by, once I'm through Arch's backlog :)

[@spyman740]

Arch and Tex! Hopefully the first of many interactions. You should do some Battletech stuff Arch

[@veteransofgalacticwars7376]

Hell yes to that. Tex and Arch seemed to riff off of each other very well. It was more than any of us could have hoped for. I grew up as an Inner Sphere kid, as Battletech was my first tabletop game. Grew into 40K because all my friends played it. Am returning to BT, and the community is incredibly welcoming. Can we have a monthly Tex and Arch podcast? Pretty Please?

[@Kotch111]

Used to play GW informally when young - when they were still the "outsiders" and we all rooted for them. Got older. Joined a new group and took my old models. Got told my models were not allowed because they were not canon and the equipment on the models did not reflect the equipment on the list and some of the models weren't fully painted (they were undercoated). Never played or attended a Games Workshop game since.

[@gowankommando]

It's like I'm listening to Owl and Eeyore talk hobbies. I love it!

I think GW is sick those weirdos on him he's one of the big voices in the BattleTech community that's only going to make him grow.

[@boneman-calciumenjoyer8290]

Arch had a similar situation a year ago, the fans stomped the mob out rather quick, give it a week and it'll blow over. Just make sure to support Tex during that time. Send positive vibes and all that.

[@skorgezagreat2462]

Tex and Arch? Man that's a drop everything and watch moment right there. I'd like to see Prof. Arch LoreHammer as a guest speaker on a Tex lecture.
