The only thing capable of ruin Warhammer is Warhammer itself. The only hope we can have is for One Page Rules not to become villain in their own story some day.

Onepagerules has kind of changed how I see my mini collection. I used to, in my head, compartmentalize them. Like these are my warhammer minis, these are my flames of war minis etc etc. ever since I started with Onepagerules and other mini agnostic games, I just see them as my mini collection, and I can use them for a variety of different games in addition to their “official” game. Makes the never ending chase to plug gaps in my collection and create armies for theoretical future games.

Choosing a game system over another b/c you enjoy it more does not qualify as a protest. Frequenting a budiness that has better service or products that another business does not qualify as a protest against the business you choose not to frequent. A protest characteristically entails anger against something. Anything else is just an expression of preference.

Don't get me wrong, there is a lot of positive about OPR, it's just all the terminal sycophants who just cannot shut up about it. GW has the same problem though, too many people who decide that playing a wargame is a religious choice for some reason.

After having played Warhammer 40k for a long time, i find it actually easier to make my troop selections or know what to model by comparing them. Like, I don't know what i should build towards if you tell me "Battle brother destroyer" but if you say "Terminator" I know immediately what the idea is and i can model new troops accordingly. Comparing them just helps me wrap my head around it all

@@nurglerider781 that's what happens when something that is culturally eponymous starts degrading and makes its own competition. Pathfinder is a 1 to 1 example for dnd, what can you do, it literally exists because of edition changes and legal malarky. even then, ff14 to WoW, pc gaming to console. It can even be a total stretch on paper like linux to windows. but POR Grimdark Future is a d6 based sci fi wargame that, with its flaws, exists as an offshoot to 40k as opposed to other great systems that have their own thing going (started collecting mantic minis as a result, even). it exists for people who were told to stop complaining and do something else if there is such a problem, so i'm not the least bit surprised a large chunk of it is people who are disillusioned with 40k.

OPR (and other miniature agnostic games) are helping Games Workshop. If you like GW models, but not the rules, you can use those models in a different system. Also, you can use OPR or other models to play GW games with friends and at most local game stores. Competition in the marketplace is good.

Though GW has, as far back as the 1990s, tried to get game stores to ban folks from using GW miniatures for other games. (Locally, the independent game stores have circular filed the requests. If fols wanted to use GW miniatures for a D&D game, they could not care less.)

Yeah, but that's why is good for hobby; everyone agrees that GW miniatures are awesome; but the way they manage the game makes everything more expensive. If you are going to invest a lot of money and time in a unit, at least is good to be sure that is going to be always competitive and playable. Or if game demands a GW expensive unit, a vanilla miniatures game open door to other companies or push GW to balance prices because competition. One of the reason that historical miniatures are not so expensive is because everyone can make nazi, napoleonic or roman miniatures 😅

Not so much on 'ruining Warhammer' - my group swapped AFTER realizing that they really were not enjoying WH40K 9th edition. The game had already been ruined - they turned to OPR BECAUSE 40K had already stopped being fun. And one of us noticed the OPR Patreon, and had vague memories of One Page 40K on Dakka Dakka. Duncan took that fatal first step. And that was pretty much that - by the time WH40K 10th edition came out OPR was already our go to game. If WH40K 9th edition had been less of a mess, we might never have played OPR. Me, I gave up on 40K years before - 3rd edition was my favorite.

I was getting ready to put my Patreon on hold, after the High Elf Fleet releases finished. But then they announced the next armies were going to be Wood Elves (my all-time favourite Fantasy army), and Human Defense Forces ( I have always wanted to try Imperial Guard in 40k). So I guess my Patreon will continue for a while yet… 😊 Who am I kidding. For less than $20.00AUD a month, I would be a fool not to keep up my subscription. A full army release every four to five months costs me around $80-$100.00 AUD, for as many models as I want to print. $100.00AUD will not even come close to buying enough GW models to field one army. And I am getting files for models I might never have considered using before, due to the cost to buy them, physically, but am willing to take a chance on fielding now. Oh, I would love for OPR to ruin GW. Back when GW games were new, and for around a decade after that, GW were much like OPR is now. They were a small company, with a great product. They listened to their customers, and had fantastic customer service. I was a huge fan, and loved games such as Space Hulk, and Blood Bowl. Back then (in the 1980s), you could purchase a boxed Undead Horde (plastic miniatures of a skeleton army, with warriors, archers, knights, and a chariot) for $40.00AUD. There is nothing comparable to this in GWs current range, even adjusting for inflation. The bigger GW got, the more they became removed from their customer base. And when they started having to make money for their shareholders, that was the end of that era. Now, money is the driving force behind the company. Not making affordable miniatures, or taking chances on quirky, fun games, that might not turn a profit. Just overcharging for every little thing they can possibly put out into the market. One Page Rules is starting to grow, with joint ventures with other companies, and expansion in their game offerings. I hope OPR does not end up going gown the same road as GW. Hopefully, they can retain their roots, and continue to produce great miniatures, and fun games, while avoiding what went wrong with GW. If OPR promise to keep going as they are at present, I promise to keep supporting them on Patreon. Cheers,

Since you brought it up... I can't believe how unacceptably bad GW's website is at anything but their store. I'm actively trying to buy into AoS (since that and 40K and are really the only things being played in my area that I'm aware of) and I made the mistake of first going to their website to try and look at something simple like what factions exist and might I be interested in... There's so many circular links and that you can't even just easily see what to buy or what belongs to what or any actual details on modes or side games. A lot of it even just tries to get you to go to one of their brick and mortar stores and their store finder is nearly broken and doesn't give basic details for their shops (like hours and days they're open) and lists places that don't exist. I don't know how anyone who is completely new to these types of games or super casual without a connection into the scene manages to stumble into buying their products. Freaking part time job just to figure out simple stuff around how you're going to give them $200-300. Annnnyway, OPR looks cool too if I can find someone to play with and finally get around to setting up a resin printing area. Even buying into AoS, GW are only getting so much of my money so I'm probably going to buy some stuff to print (eventually) from OPR that I can use for my own ends if nothing else.

They spent 6 million or something on it and it's a nightmare to even look up stuff if you wanted to buy anything. That's how bad it is, it's not even fit for purpose. The previous one they had may not have been super high end but it was functional and pleasant to use, now it's a nightmare and you have to click about 10 different things just to browse on it. It's all form before function. It speaks about about GW's approach to everything, everything is ahead of the customer and player experience.

For playing 40k my group had used a slow and steady approach. Start with 500 points games. Use the normal or quickstart rules and their index cards after 1-2 games use their special abilitys. Start slow and add a new layer of rules every other game. Alongside that (when your colkection grows) increase the point level. If you run into unfun rules or models ask your opponent to adjust slightly in order to increase fun. You do not need to play up to date rules if you are not in a competive enviroment.

I don't think it's " ruining" anything. That's just internet hyperbole. I enjoy the simpler ruleset and miniature-agnostic stance of OPR which is why it's my favorite system. Others enjoy the crunchier ruleset of, for example, 40K. Some like both. That OPR exists isn't taking anything away from Warhammer. Those who have completely switched over might have stopped playing 40K/AOS eventually anyway because of the rules bloat.

For reference to the print cost, if you don't have that capacity for a resign printer(their are concerns) with the exception of like three armies you can FDM print your miniatures. Something a cheaper as a old Kobra 2 for $100 can allow you to make your own 1000-2000 point army. so for a week of your time and $125 dollars you can have a starting army vs GW that wants $165 for start collecting box.

as a ruleset I might look at opr as an alternative to 40k, since 10e really isn't doing it for me. On the fantasy end though I'm very happy with both old world and aos right now, so I can't imagine an opr alternative pulling me away. As for being a source of cheap substitute minis... the opr stuff seems dependant on resin printing, which isn't an option for people like me in small apartments, or for anyone with pets, or kids. you could buy the models printed by someone else, but then the price advantage over gw is greatly reduced, which makes the difference in scupt & material quality start to hurt. It might be different if they focused on fdm friendly support-free models, but then they'd be even further from competing with gw on sculpt quality. I like having more competition in the market, but I'm more interested in games trying to do their own thing like frostgrave or malifaux rather than stuff like opr that seems like they're just trying to be substitute warhammer. Sort of like how rifts or gurps or wod or lot5r are imo more compelling alternatives to d&d than pathfinder. I sorely miss privateer press. Real shame what happened there.

The learning cerve is real and skill reward is *extream*. I got to be in a tournament and had a couple of practice games which allowed me to whipe out my first opponent with 0 losses as i better undertood what to activte when, then i got wiped out totaly in my second game because that opponent understood positioning better than me. Both games were utterly brutal but fair.

I started playing OPR grimdark firefight with my 5 yr old son because KT was just a tad too hard for him. AND HE LOVES IT. I printed him up a Robot Legion army for barely nothing and he painted it all up and he totally grasped all the rules. (obviously I have to remind him of the special abilities) but the overall concept he got done super fast. That is a great deal in my book!

The last time I played Warhammer was 2006 or so... imo Warhammer was never a very fun game, it benefited from being the only choice you had and having a very cool aesthetic and fluff. I haven't had the chance to play OPR, I am sure it is a much better game, but I do miss the fluff and lore tidbits and special characters, the off-beat powers and abilities, the mild RPG elements that Warhammer has had. Having a story and theme of the army reflected in the rules is pretty important to me. OPR hewing so close to Warhammer's tropes really clips its wings. It needs an identity of its own.

I think there is actually room for W40K and OPR, it sort of depends on the gamer in question. I feel like with OPR I can play games that are short and fun, but also with the Advanced Rules I can get as complex and detailed as I could please. That said, W40K is still further layers of complexity and some people just want that, and assuming they are also filthy rich -- but don't want to be, GW offers them an experience. This summer sale was brutal for my balance, I've got something like 6 more armies I'm now waiting to print and paint, lol. Meanwhile I'm still working on my 6k+ HDF army, whoops. 70% off is too good to pass up, but I'm sure I ended up spending way more than I had wanted. What I think is the biggest difference between GW and OPR is just how their customers react to their new content. With GW, its always negative. New books you must buy, new models you need, the models are often lazy, people use words like "scandal" and "controversy". There are entire W40K channels devoted to nothing but complaining. OPR is 100% the opposite, you watch a OPR livestream and it's all hype and excitement. The new stuff is awesome, if there are new books well we get them free so it's all good. If we are Tier 2 members their patreon we even get the new models and armies free. The only thing you can really give GW is their Lore is top notch stuff, but even that often ends up irritating their customers.

I've wanted to get into 40k for a long time. It looks cool, the lore is interesting, and it seems like a cool hobby.... but the entry cost and weird culture against 3d printing kinda turned me off. About 15 years ago, I bought about 500 points of Space Marines on ebay to try it all out. I went to a GW store to play and was given some fairly rude treatment because I didn't paint them with GW paint. Only now, with OPR, have I gotten back into this hobby. I can print and paint however I want and play the game with whoever else wants to play. We have a small, grass roots OPR group at work that's getting off the ground and I love it. Some of the are 40k veterans and do the constant "oh this is different in 40k" thing, but it's fine. We're enjoying the game without being bound to what a game store wants us to do.

I’ve been building, painting, collecting and playing 40K since 2001 and I’m pretty active at multiple FLGS. I’ve yet to meet anyone in person that plays OPRs. I’ve heard a lot about it on the internet, and seen a lot of content creators hype it up on their channels, but I’m just not sure where there their player base is coming from. I know multiple people that play out of production games like Mordheim, Space Hulk and Battlefleet Gothic, but OPRs doesn’t seem to have caught on in my area. I’ve even looked for it and the two non-GW stores I frequent, don’t even sell it. It would seem the overwhelming majority of gamers prefer the genuine article.

GW just needs to do a Battle Tech and come out with 2 versions of the game. Version A: The shut the hell up and play version for the competitive crowd. All the stats are the same for certain classes of Infantry, Flyer, Tank etc. based upon classification (Heavy, Medium & Light version) regardless of faction - sub factions. Simplified - streamlined game, with all factions having the same choices for stratagems & faction / sub-faction traits. Version B: GW creates a rich & complex gaming system that'll be imperfect, requires some balancing & fans are fine with it because when you play whatever faction / sub-faction the rules captures the magic of the lore (at least to some degree). If I wanted to play One Page Rules, I wouldn't be playing Warhammer. I'd be playing One Page Rules with over priced GW miniatures.

It's about time GW had an alternative, in the same way all other wargames do. It's healthy for the hobby. GW is different because it has to keep it's shareholders happy rather than the customer and views its community as pound/dollar signs. The flagship GW rules lack depth imho but appear complicated due to overcooked rules and a lack of consistency. GWs depth is only in their lore. Unfortunately you need to swallow the whole rules package when you get into AoS/40K and keep up to date with the constant changes by referencing multiple sources and constantly buying new books/cards/tools. Tackling a collection of constantly changing bits rather than following a consistent whole is too much like work - I work for a living and I don't have the time or inclination to turn my hobby into work as well. OPR is streamlined rather than simple, and allows players to add as much complexity as they like rather than forcing you to take all of it from the start. Everything is available online from OPR (not from a 3rd party), and has one of the best army builders I've seen - and it's free. The army builder also allows partner companies to create lists for their models and the community to do likewise. What's not to like? As far as GW is concerned, OPR also covers the armies used by 40K/AoS (as well as a pile of other stuff) and provides a reason to buy models from GW again. I would never have looked at GW again but have bought some stuff lately for OPR that I would never have bought otherwise. That has to be considered a win for GW.

Honestly. No. Though I would love to see Warhammer move close to the "less is more" approach to rules. Over the years it has been different variations of stupidly complex to the point that most of the issues people have with the game is around the constant nitpicking and wording on the rules "Can my guy shoot your guy", "does my guy get cover", "wait how can that shoot this but I can't shoot back". Also, the move to 3 month updates whilst GREAT at the start of the edition because it meant we were actively getting balance where needed. It's now just problomatic and causing it's own issues at my LGS and with friends "no that rule got updated"... "that's not a rule anymore". Then there are the "That's not what that rule means..." arguments and constant need for further F&Qs and fixes..... Otherwise 10th Edition felt like a breath of fresh air, stripping everything back to a handful of pages of core rules. Having played Spearhead recently, damn I wish 40k would go that route. The simpler rules make IMHO a funner, more streamline and efficient game that still has tactical depth. Got my few pages of core rules, got my nice army cards and a twist deck. Loads of fun. None of my friends will play the 40k/full sized AOS games because of the sheer amount of rules you need. They do however LOVE the Warhamemr universe and Spearhead/Warcry/Warhammer Quest etc.. are very much loved by them. - Possibly not quite the comment you were expecting but hey ho :D

GW will never lose their die hard fans and will still hold its crown a while. If OPR would ruin Warhammer... every single other system ruins Warhammer as well. It are similar games but different worlds. Quite literally, Warhammer has a huge history of lore so one could aay that the game itself isnt the entirety of Warhammer. OPR is just a game that was born because there were fans who wanted a simpler and less expensive alternative. Its really about what system you like better and what you want to invest. Since OPR has many rules that can be filled with GW miniatures I'd argue it even helps them even if their minis arent end up on the table of a Warhammer game.

They are lovely minis though, so I may buy a few for special models at which they are price competitive or better. Or if fdm printing gets just a little better and I can print my own in my small apartment without dealing with resin dangers. I play OPR fantasy skirmish so far, but I'm building a sea elf army for OPR fantasy regiments.

Why OPR after dumping 40k, because my gaming club members wanted to get their kids into the hobby.

Here's my main problem with people who push OPR is that when you ask them can you find a game of it down your FLGS? The answer is, invariably, no. People are still playing Warhammer 40k etc. It's one of those things that nice, in concept and if people actually did take it up en masse and it was a true threat to GW, it'd be great...but that's never going to happen. The fact that all the models have to be 3D printed, you can't just go to a LGS and pick up a box of them or order a box of them online (like you can Wargames Atlantic plastics) or they're JUST as expensive as GW if you order the pre-printed minis. The fact that whilst it's a great rules system, it has no lore involved, nothing for people to sink their teeth into, nothing for someone to build around. Now for some people that's amazingly freeing to be allowed to do whatever they want but for other people they might want at least some basis in lore for their color schemes etc. The main problem is that OPR doesn't have its own identity, it's basically "yeah we filed off the Copywrited material and it's pretty much 40k", it's a ruleset and very little else.

I’m a little confused by these critiques. Sure, finding a game of OPR is going to be harder than 40k. But with that said, I’ve played several games of Grimdark Future Firefight at my LGS with another guy that I didn’t know, and at least one guy who asked about it seemed pretty interested. So I think there’s more market for it than you think. I’m really confused about “the minis have to be 3d printed.” That’s just not true…you can 3d print them, you can order pre-printed, you can download the free paper minis and use those, or you can buy minis from literally any other company and use those. The lore is kind of a bonus for me…I like 40k lore and models, just not the rules. But I get some people would prefer something different lore wise. They’re working on it-they released a whole lore book. There’s probably as much or more lore as 40k had when it launched. But it definitely can’t compete with a 40 year old IP.

My group of 40k player/friends is 5 people. We all have at least 1 army of GW 40k. I have Dark Angels about 3k. Son has Orks 4k, others have AdMech, Custodes, and Necron. We all literally in the last month are making move to OPR. The reason being we are tired of the Book game. GW continuously keeps changing the meta and releasing books nonstop. The minis are fine. Its the rules and the book greed we have finally had enough of. My son and I bought a new resin 3d Printer. We can play OPR with our current armies...we are about to start a campaign. Then later we can mess in printing other armies that fit in the lore OPR is releasing. We already printed a few models and they are VERY nice looking and one I painted up looks great. People in this hobby want to have fun. Yeah OPR is never going to pull more than say 10-20% of the 40k crowd. The tournament players are too far down the rabbit hole. But you may be surprised how many people like the 5 of us have hit a breaking point.

OPR is minuscule in comparison so I doubt it its even a concern for warhammer to consider tbh ... no matter the rules , its still not warhammer and that can never be got past for the majority that are invested into warhammer

@@AcceptablyEPIC yeah its good more choice of rules/systems but it is just GW is so big its only going to implode itself as such .. I have tried getting local people into OPR but its been a hard pass from them ... its 40k or go home basically .. I like many other game systems like bolt action / silver bayonet / mantic stuff just its hard finding / converting some groups to try new out .. What we do find is though alot more people are switching to older versions as well locally without the baby safety rails of 10th edition in list building/customisation .

With OPR, I can call it and the units whatever the heck I want AND stay as faithful to the 40K lore as anyone if i so choose.

Tbh, OPR just fails on the face of it to deliver on why i am currently dissatisfied with Warhammer. It is exactly the simplicity - I like wargames where there are possibilities for wild and crazy events to occur and where it takes a full afternoon to play a game. I spend hundreds of hours painting, hell i spend 30 minutes setting up the gaming table, "wow, you can play a full game in 1 hour" is the polar opposite of what i want. And it really feels like every mini agnostic game goes that route. "Every unit just throws 10 D6!" "Every unit has the same stats!" "Dont even worry about it - we taught a sea cucumber to play our game, its so easy!" Give me the mini agnostic game with templates, and damage tables, and morale rules, and in depth unit customization at company scale or higher. It feels like thats every historical system and no sci fi system ever.

I know there are a lotta "GW killed GW and Warhammer" comments so apologies if I broch some subjects that have been talked to death. I'll start by saying I love the creativity and work the artists and writers put into the models and the universe, it's what drew me in for the first time and it's had it's hooks in me ever since, I adore the stories of grim but noble heroes fighting against the odds, strange and alien terrors and beasts, and the sprinklings of absurd things that can happen in said universe. What I don't adore is GW heavy handed approach to their community, weather it be from things like their high pricing on things like codexes and models making the hobby less accessible to those on a budget or the the blatant disrespect they had towards animators and artists who put their souls into breath-taking animations and awe inspiring art that get people into the hobby just so they could try and create a monopoly over animation and get in on the "trend" of a subscription service. It reeks of people that only care for profit and very little else, to such a point that one of the first pieces I give to new Warhammer hobbyists I give is "for the love of god don't buy models direct." I want to be able to enjoy the hobby but frankly OPR gave a more accessible and more creatively open form for me to do that over GW which made the choice rather easy. If you enjoy playing GW's wargames and you have the means to do so then by all means go ahead, everyone has the choice to enjoy what they enjoy. I'm just some dude putting his mind out there as to why GW is seemingly on a downward trend.

I did try opr, it's goes faster then 40k, but mainly because your casualty rate is from 5 to 10 times higher. Game goes fast its good, but i feel that any unit you play is faceless plastic soldiers, at that point i lose all interest. What's the point to play if you know thet one identical army win other identical army but with different sculpts.

There’s no way that happens. For one, one page rules feel extremely bland. They’re nice, but don’t really manage to give you the feel for any lore. I do dislike 40k’s rules intensely, which are clunky and really hard to provide suspension of disbelief, so I’m always on the hunt for nice systems. This wasn’t it for me, but you do you, of course

I think Warhammer is ruining OPR. To keep up with the various edition/Codex changes, a lot of the "compatible" lists in the OPR app lost a bunch of great options, both in equipment and unit variety. Plus I have to deal with some GW originated cowdung, such as Prime Brothers not having the transports/vehicles available to regular Battle Brothers. Yeah, I know I can make them come back up by myself in the Forge, but I'm lazy. Fight me.

Saying that a better and more accessible product is "ruining" the inferior product after the latter rested on its laurels for decades is a hell of a take.

I think OPR might be inferior in many ways to GW in the grand scheme of things but man it also rubs me and my gaming buddies in the right way. No extra costs with neverending faction rules updates and no bloated rules a free app and a more sensible point cost. Also I like to play an hour or two games and voilà ❤.
