Warhammer and 40K are not just Beer and Pretzel games.

Finecraft is Great.

And the best plastic is better then metal because all the poses you can do with multi part kits, hey look I posed this arm 2mm lower then the other guys. Plus it will be cheaper .

P.S. and yes this was all said by a player, the same one no less.

Peter: As we all know, Christmas is that mystical time of year when the ghost of Jesus rises from the grave to feast on the flesh of the living! So we all sing Christmas Carols to lull him back to sleep.
Bob: Outrageous, How dare he say such blasphemy. I've got to do something.
Man #1: Bob, there's nothing you can do.
Bob: Well, I guess I'll just have to develop a sense of humor.

Another fart of a wargaming statement:

"New citadel paints are BULLCRAP!!!!!!"

I could have nominated any of the "I say x is y, so x IS y" quotes floating around dakka, but I thought this even worse than the others.


So any statement of opinion is stupid? Noted.

(Point of fact, I enjoy the new colors)


I guess so. What I've gathered from the OP is any criticism of GW is a "stupid thing". We had this out about the paints on the previous page. OP, we get it; you're a fanboi of GW's new paint range.

I enjoy some of the colours. I also love CD'Arms inks as GW's washes are crap (except for Nuln oil). Vallejo is my go-to paint range, not least because they're cheaper than GW. GW is still my go to for metallics.

Many people have been irked by GW and their paints not once, but twice in very recent memory. First they got rid of the inks, then they got rid of their whole paint range and replaced it with another one which does not match in many key areas, forcing them to go elsewhere to complete preexisting armies.


*sigh*

I nominated this post because:

1.He didn't give a single talos-damned reason to support his point.
2. A failed attempt at a precision F-strike.
3.From the tone of a post I'd expect that this guy went into a GW store when the new paints got realesed, tried to basecoat a miniature using one of the dry compounds and immediatly decided the range was complete gak.

Also I am not a "fanboi" [sic] of the new paints, in fact I'm planning to only use vallejo from now on.

Didn't read the last paragraph then I take it?

2. A failed attempt at a precision F-strike.


Um, what?

Major assumption to make there mateybobs. I've been painting since you were gaking into nappies, hell, before you were even born. I have given a reason as to why the GW paint range is utterly terribly in places. Seriously, do a search of this forum for "chestnut ink" to see the scores of threads about people desperately trying to find a replacement. Same goes for Devlan Mud with the most recent change.

Also I am not a "fanboi" [sic] of the new paints, in fact I'm planning to only use vallejo from now on.





Could've fooled me. Remember kids, if you disagree with the OP in this thread, your comment becomes immortalized as a "Stupidest thing (he's) ever heard about a wargame"

This whole thread has been a train wreck since you started it. I'd suggest PMing a mod to lock it as they'll do that for you as the OP.

Balance in pick up games? Two people, each with their own goals for the game, design half a board game on their own without knowing the layout of the board and hope it all works out. Good luck with that. The faster you can find like minded individuals who want the same things from the game as you, the better.

That's not a bad idea actually.

Threads which are, for the most part, an excuse to slag of on someone/something - they usually don't last long.

Or end well.
