At my towns annual model show every year two of the members kids enter the SAME THING and always get awards for them.
Every year; there is a girl who enters her 1:24th Tim Burton Batmobile in the 'teen cars' category and wins [despite it having an unfinshed paint job and knife marks] and there's a boy who enters the same Blood angels scout bike in the 'wargames' section and wins. That bike should never win anything. It looks like it was painted with a melted crayon

**Shadow Captain Edithae**

Changing my mind on a colour scheme halway through painting a model. Doesn't help that I mostly play skirmish games, so most of my models have unique individual colour schemes as opposed to an army wide scheme (like a single space marine chapter).

Probably a demon character is the most justifiable for showing up in multiple battles all over the galaxy. They don't got to follow our rules.

I'm worried about Cael showing up in all Armies of the Imperium from now on, but I like it when people have characters in their army. I DONT like home brew armies with no background thought.

Hmm.... all of my armies are homebrew, I guess. Always have been. Not "special rule" homebrew, I just prefer to come up with my own names and story. Would that be the sort of thing that bothers you?

I would very much like it.
The only thing I'm against is home made models or other range models that look out of place.

I'm talking about people who run SM armies with their own neat paint scheme, character conversions and then like, and when I say "cool, so who's sucsessor are they?" they stare at me blankly and say "I don't know, I guess I didn't think about that. I just want to play the game, man."

That was probably what made me go full HH.

One time I was gaming and this dude showed off his Lego Land Speeder, and it was damn near the size of a Land Raider. Having only one was not that bad, as I can identify it. Now when Joe Orteza showed up with that Chaos army that was 98% green stuff with a few actual GW bits in it? Not at all, I wouldn't have played. "Oh, those lumps of things that look like twisty fire? Bikes." "Oh, the scorpion? Land Raider." Not at all. If you're going that route, why not run a complete Warzone army as a 40K arm... Actually, Miller did that up in Ft. Wayne.

And then Games Workshop wonder why they get such a bad rep.

**Elbows**

But really, who gives a gak until you've seen the next book?

**master of ordinance**

Every single Guard player whom has looked at the leaks and felt that horrible sinking feeling?

**SlaveToDorkness**

"There are no Cadians on Cadia..."

**privateer4hire**

Only Cajuns on Cadia

**morgoth**

The whining... it's too strong in this thread.

Dude, there's a campaign. And it's about Cadia, isn't that awesome?

Who cares if the cadians are in that book or another one...

It's probaby because they weren't home that the planet falls anyway...

**nareik**

Maybe the planet wouldn't fall if those arrogant Cadians weren't spread out thin across the galaxy trying to make all the other regiments look bad instead of staying at home and defending the gate...

You had one job Cadians, ONE JOB!!!

Yes! Your job is to die! Now do it!

**Shadow Captain Edithae**

I find it quite hilarious that the Cadians are missing their own end of the world party.

**morgoth**

They will probably come back home all together and retake it.

**jreilly89**

To everyone telling the Guard players to get over it, imagine the last campaign book, Warzone Fenris, opened up and the story focused on....the Grey Knights and Eldar saving Fenris instead of the Space Wolves. That's how it feels.

I think you vastly overestimate how much most people care about those books and more specifically Space wolves.

**EmberlordofFire8**

Or if the 13th crusade was solely made up of Daemons being led by Fabius Bile.

**Shadow Captain Edithae**

Or if a Helms Deep expansion had Uruk Hai vs Warriors of Minas Tirith.

Yeah, thats right. I like the SBG. Bite me.

**Asmodai**

How about a 30K game "The Siege of Terra" that features Eldar Exodites holding off a horde of Skaven?

**amazingturtles**

Wait, people are just describing things that would be awesome now, right?

I play mtg and I find people constantly and noisily shuffling their cards very annoying, especially in my damn turn. They're not even looking at them, just aggressively flicking through them instead of doing something useful, because they've seen some 'pros' do the same. Maybe they think it's intimidating or perhaps they have ADHD, but they look ridiculous.

I understand the idea of shuffling your hand so your opponent can't see which cards you've been holding onto for a long time. But shuffling repeatedly is not needed, it achieves nothing beyond being irritating. I shuffle my hand at the end of my turn and put it on the table, I pick it up if I need to interrupt and play something.

Yes, card flicking is the worst.

*Flicks cards and eats sticky donut* yep, couldn't agree more

And then some people wonder why we Guard players are so bitter....
I only hope that some massive end-of-the-marines campaign book comes out next, and has no mention of the space sues in it at all.

The Cadian Regiments fend off a massive Tyranid Hive fleet.

I wish, I really do. But the forums would be aflame with angry Marine players if this where too happen.

**Skymate**

What about spending countless hours on dollars on an army to be told its 'not playable' anymore or it cant be used due to some other reason.
