Games Workshop CFO SELLS HER SHARES and RESIGNS!!!

Makes you wonder who bought the shares, and how they will influence the setting. If you think of it, all the drama and devalued stock just gives a discount to whoever will make it worse.. I have been in the hobby for decades and I am against the concept of femstodes or modern female space marines. Or any form of this universe conforming to modern social or political factions. That being said, be careful of bringing up female space marines, as that rabbithole can open up a new warpstorm. I assume you are aware that for the first 30+ years of the 40k verse, there were more female marine models/sculpts than there were custodes models/sculpts right (gabs and jayne from rt6012, and the kev adams marine that some credit to brian ansell)? It is also important to note that if the Eisenhorn connection/rumour is even remotely true, these femstodes could be part of the Court of the King in Yellow. It seems valdor is doing more stuff that is not in the lore and or is outright heretical. And ofcourse that Grummz on twitter is a warcraft designer that is semi responsible for the things that he claims GW might turn into, while it happened to his own franchise. It is also important to note that for the first editions, the lore was vague and ambiguous by design. The one "men" reference in context according to the english dictionairy can also mean a group of humans/people. Nowhere else for decades is men or man used, same for brotherhood, boys or sons which is from like 7th edition. The other lore bits on custodes in the Rogue Trader Rulebook (like p139) are more elaborate and completely ambigous. The same goes for second edition with p12 in the Codex Imperialis. Grummz, or Mark, is likely just trolling and stirring up the pot, or intentionally devalueing GW stock. My advice would be to change to oldhammer (which gw won't profit from as it's usually second hand, a safer investment and has a lot of funky gems), 3d printing, or any other miniature game.

The DEI money came in and she immediately knew she had to get out. Smart CFO.

[@TheGrayfrog100]

My question did she jump or was she pushed? Selling the shares makes me think she was pushed.

[@nicholaswalker757]

You'd sell the shares anyways. If she knows that the shares are gonna tank, why wouldn't you sell them now and cash out rather than wait for everything to crash and now the shares are worth nothing? Edit: Fixed a typo and I also wanted to add this, I honestly kinda think her keeping even a third of her shares is kinda risky personally I would've sold at least like 75% of my shares, but she's a cfo so she prob knows more than I do. So I'll give her the benefit of the doubt on that.

A lot of people are quietly annoyed and turned off by this, I think.

I can’t say the same about my local shop… every table was taken or reserved all day Saturday and Sunday, and all the painting tables were full. I run a local book club and that’s where we meet once a month. A lot of people really don’t care… which makes me sad.

[@jackochainsaw]

@@wyoguy9720 To be honest, when shitty things like this happen, you revert to the part of the hobby you don't have to think about. It's a bit like the Sims 4 and how bad that has got. People have retreated to house building now, because the game has become so unplayable that they'd rather just play the simplest part of that game and get enjoyment out of building some houses. It's to do with sunk costs. You bought all those models, you bought all that paint, you will lose money if you sell it all on eBay, at a car boot sale/yard sale/flea market/etc so you paint the models you've got. I'm sure they do care, but they are trying to make the best of it. I understand it all too well.

Bud Light is actually starting to claw its way out of its self-dug grave because people have short memories. Bud Light will probably not be as big as it was for a decade or more, if ever, but it will eventually reclaim some of the market share it lost over the whole dude-pretending-to-be-a-woman catastrophe.

@@Wolf37f I think it is understandable considering. My dad was provided a similar option when he was a Managing Director of Engineering at a large aviation company. He could either take money or shares. It was considered disloyal to take the money so he took the shares. When he was made redundant some years later, he lost shit tons of money on the stocks. In the end they had lost nearly 2000% of their value. My mother sold them for a penny each. In addition he'd had to pay a lot of tax on them, they were completely worthless. I think this former CFO made the right decision even if it looks bad. In our economic climate you have to look after yourself.

There's also one that I mentioned during the stream called "Trench Crusade".

[@MunitionsDudTester]

6:51 Battletech is still a good option. It is true that CGL has gone full Woko Haram, but they only hold the license currently, they do not own Battletech like GW owns Warhammer IP. The REAL Battletech community has kept the IP alive for DECADES on their own when things were looking bleak. Also, the rules don't really change, and proxies are baked into the rules and accepted (Buy/make STLs and 3D print to your heart's content, or buy 3rd party minis). There are so many secondary markets and PDF files floating around that you do not need to give 1 red cent to the CGL psychos to fully enjoy Battletech. If you like the idea of Big stompy robots and Game of Thrones in space then Battletech has you covered. The game can be all the way down to the small unit level and you can even scale it up to intergalactic campaigns with dropships, aerospace fighters, add in combined arms, infantry, tanks, vtols, you name it. Best part, NONE of your models are ever made obsolete and you can pretty much play anything with any faction and paint them how you want. The only thing limiting you is what era you decide you want to play (like if you want to play pre-Clan invasion you would just not use Clan tech). If you're a normal person that just wants to enjoy a hobby seek out the Helm Memory Core discord server. We'll hook you up.

I'm not going to buy anything from GW anymore until they either undo the damage done to the Adeptus Custodes by removing the female Custodians from the official Warhammer 40,000 canon, or until they go out of business. Whichever comes first. Until then, I'll use a 3D printer to make my own models, I'll write and print my own codexes and rule books and keep the franchise alive as a true fan. I hope others out there will join me.

That's why i just stick to fallout wasteland warefare and historical atm i haven't bought an GW stuff since 10th edition, it's the prices for me tbh so i just been painting my pile of shame.

C&C Renegade music?

[@messaroundhandleit]

damn 700k shit is going down hill fast. I keep telling people to stick it to gw, cause their pricing is dumb asf. They thought they'd charge more during and after co-vid....I only buy the books from 3rd parties, and 3d print everything.

[@robinfox4440]

It sucks because the minis are genuinely top quality. The best in the world even. But the pricing, the consistently just BAD game design, and now THIS. Ugh. Fuck it all. I'm out. If I ever want miniatures again I'm buying Vallejo paints and 3D printing.

Now they're gonna replace her with someone whi sees things their way.

[@TheGraham27]

Remember these books are made like 6 months earlier.....so like they new this in November basically.

[@astrovarius543]

Sure, but I believe the recent backlash is the implied reason for their sudden departure.

[@TheGraham27]

@astrovarius543 but didn't it say she announced she left in January, but pulling her stocks out now after the female custodes debacle.

[@sarico7827]

This is a warning my fellow gamers there stock is dropping and the smart ones are running out. If you're like me just keep not buying there trash. This truly a dark time but we can play fun games that have companies that don't call us bad names and don't hate on us.

I want 40k to keep going and to recover from all of this

[@nicholaswalker757]

Just pick up a 3d printer folks. Not only are you not supporting GW by doing so, but it's going to save you TONS of money.

[@regalforever]

The rules of 40K are shit anyway to be honest. I love the models and most collectors have a massive pile of shame. The best way to handle this is to boycott 40K for a few months. Work on the pile of shame, don’t use the new codexes and buy second hand. If the financials tank and models don’t sell GW will cancel the Amazon deal. Amazon is pushing the woke into GW along with Blackrock. Tank the shares and Blackrock will be forced to diverse by their share holders. It’s the only way to save Warhammer 40K.

[@telkri]

I can only say be aware of anything doing with Osprey Games and Osprey Publishing. Since they have shown to push DEI politics.

[@jamesspinner7764]

How long was she CFO? and how likely is it that SHE was part of the management team that started to turn GW woke 10 ish years ago? dont heap praise on her until we find out if she was or was not the one to inflict the woke cancer on GW in the first place....

[@gigglehurtz3167]

whew, thats a fiery beard my man. You dye it or is it really that much more red than yer hair?
