Is WM so awesome, that they can make a model of a big wrecking ball, and get you to buy thier magazine to see what it is? BTW, in before the "Great job PP!!!", or the "Wonderul model, way better sculpt that GW!!!!1!" or the "This is oneof the best models I have seen, ever!"

The Grinder is totally sweet, and totally has Iron Warriors Demon Prince written all over it. That said, I'd like to know what the fmek is up with it too.

You buy their magazine because its a good read and then you find out what the Grinder is. Isn't it a little early to be this pissed off by something as innocuous as a teaser preview on a website?

I much prefer reading WD to NQ actually. More stuff, more batreps, cooler terrain tutorials, better showcases of figs, and no pictures of large men in pirate outfits.

Not only does GW give us a large man in a pirate outfit, but they also throw in manboobs as a part of the package. Manboobs!!

I expect a cross between Blood Bowl and Dreadnought Arena Combat.
With the Power Attack rules, you could throw, slam, or push the ball without necessarily having to pick it up. You could also slam or throw it into enemy jacks. Could be cool.
I'm curious how big that base is.

There is a, a think, Galic game that involves pushing a large ball around a field to get it to your opponents goal. It involves up to a hundred people at a time and it seems as if this is going to be a Warmachine or Hordes version of that same game.

I don't care what it is, I want one! I hope it's a game ball for Warjacks. I laso hope that Rackham and/or Reaper will make a simmaler item and the GW does one in plastic.

Nah, it was part serious, part smartass. I honestly want to know what it is, but I was poking fun at the whole ominious "Turn in to NQ #xx to see!!" It was also a partial poke at the PP fanboism. Mostly though, it was just a question to see what it actually was.

Based upon your "poke at the PP fanboism": 'BTW, in before the "Great job PP!!!", or the "Wonderul model, way better sculpt that GW!!!!1!" or the "This is oneof the best models I have seen, ever!"' I'd say that "fanboi" claim could be lain upon yourself considering that the first mention of GW occured in your initial post. And isn't this a little tired anyway? Are you that unoriginal that the only humor you can conjur up is this played out old prune of a lame-duck jab? I've got a great idea: Let's just play what we like and leave others to their own tastes. I'd suggest that if you don't like the product you don't buy it. It sure would be nice if we could move beyond the "My gaming company can beat up your gaming company" sabre rattling.

There's nothing to complain about yet.....
And if that's all you want this forum to be, then no wonder your readership has declined. I have visited Dakka for years and the content was so worthwhile I didn't feel the need to comment.
Now it seems that every time that I come here I'm reading someone smartassing Privateer or GW.
