Reminder not to buy that magazine:

Reposted from Stuart Jordan

Well, I guess I won't be buying Miniature Wargames any more...

What a tool, can't even spell "Custodes".

Lol did Jordan steal that quote from Johan Cruyff? "Je moet schieten, anders kun je niet scoren"

trashkitten.bsky.social•21 hours ago

Yikes

Damn what a bizarre turn for a hobbyist magazine to just outright mask off like that.

garethrwood.bsky.social•18 hours ago

Wargames: Soldiers and Strategy is a much better option. Good articles, nice overviews of ranges for particular periods and a generally spot on cartoon.

They lost me at "One of my favourite Canadians, Jordan Peterson" it didn't matter what they printed after that, it could be a recipe for butternut squash soup for all I care.

I don't play historicals because I want to avoid chuds like him. If I want my army of sci-fi war dollies to be badass women who can throw a car at someone one handed that's my right.

baradoralred.bsky.social•17 hours ago

What magazine is that anyway ?

Female custodes being at all controversial always baffles me - it’s not even like space marines where theres some contrived lore reason it ‘couldn’t happen’

thehermitdruid.bsky.social•21 hours ago

Anyone that quotes Jp is a sad miserable pathetic fuck.

It’s literally his target audience.

jewelknightjess.com•19 hours ago

Incidentally if everyone stopped aiming for targets they couldn't hit, nobody would have any incentive to improve or try harder to better themselves. The definition of just playing it safe. Terrible advice from Dr Pee.

frish.bsky.social•19 hours ago

Has he ever given good advice?

samenrider.bsky.social•18 hours ago

I actually think what's so nefarious about him is he does give some good albeit surface level advice (clean your room, get some exercise, etc.) which he then uses to pedal his cryptofascist shit. He builds trust with common wisdom and uses that to spread hate.

tubbles.bsky.social•18 hours ago

That's how every single fascist or useful idiot for fascism works. You can't start with outright fascistic ideas or people will tune you out, you have to start with stuff that seems reasonable at first glance. Every single one of these idiots does it.

empyreansleights.bsky.social•9 hours ago

so much of this is actually good advice, but the devil is in the details and you take one and he eventually ends up with "and that's why women are nefarious sirens and human decency has to be earned"

steelpaladin.ca•17 hours ago

Damn, that's unfortunate. As a Canadian, it's even more galling that that traitor is someone's favourite Canadian.

jamesotron.bsky.social•18 hours ago

"my favourite Canadian, the weirdo that almost died eating nothing but meat"

cozmicaztaway.bsky.social•18 hours ago

The loser couldn't even do THAT right 🙄

cywilko604.bsky.social•20 hours ago

Glad I ended up not picking up the issue with free werewolves and a Heroquest mission, forgot that was the same mag as these takes

jewelknightjess.com•20 hours ago

Yeah same.

On the plus side you can find single sprues of most of their freebies for cheaper on ebay anyway

tidinzeo.bsky.social•19 hours ago

“You can’t hit a target that you don’t see” Tell that to any artillery in the world. Or anyone with intercontinental ballistic missiles.

sekhmet.bsky.social•18 hours ago

Or Col Zoltan Dani of the 250th Air Defense Missile Brigade of the (former) Army of Yugoslavia.

alexcolbert.bsky.social•21 hours ago

It just kept getting worse as I continued reading 😬

asheepie.bsky.social•19 hours ago

Wow, loads of the chud-argument boxes ticked there

wodostheratlord.bsky.social•20 hours ago

I'm glad his audience is limited to the 18 people who still read peint magazines. Don't let grandpa know about Twitter.

unlimitedlives.bsky.social•19 hours ago

Oof. Was unaware of this and had just taken advantage of the annual subscription for a tenner offer they had. Guess we're cancelling that then. Thank you for making this known.

jewelknightjess.com•19 hours ago

Yeah they almost tempted me with one of their subscriptions where you get an entire epic scale army set one time until I realised which mag it was! It was a close call 😂

thebarnet.bsky.social•20 hours ago

honestly with this and Wargames illustrated being a pain to get a hold off atm and getting too thin for the price and the occonal nonsense like this I might need to get white dwarf sub again

michaelharker.bsky.social•20 hours ago

I’ve been digital mags for quite a while now, including the wargaming magazines. If you have a look at the Libby app and enter a library card number you’ll get access to all your electronic library content. In Glasgow that includes MW, WSS and Tabletop Gaming. I still pay a sub to WSS though…

thebarnet.bsky.social•20 hours ago

I make full use of Libby when I can this issue out of all the wargames mags Wi is probably my favourite and its not on Libby

pinkapplejam.bsky.social•21 hours ago

"Where will it end" LMAO but also FFS!
Won't somebody think of the precious, white middle-aged menz?!

lostone1980.bsky.social•21 hours ago

I forgot they have had some bad takes recently last year.

Oh well, with my local WHSmith closing in Easter I won't be able to get it anyway 😁

leadpaintshed.bsky.social•18 hours ago

Anything that mentions Jordick Penisson in a positive light is to be avoided.
