Well, it does affect some real people - I could have very well have gone next week!

And yes, sorry for the dumbness of not saying Griffin.

Except the examples you gave of your army not complying were really unlikely to actually not be in compliance. If you read the actual doc, it is really pretty simple.

My Genestealers are Space Marines? Not okay.
My Forgeworld special character model is actually a sergeant? Probably okay.

"yes we know the rules suck, just dont look at them too closely, 4+ it and move on and dont ask us to figure it out either because we dont know or care"

It doesn't matter. The simple act of GW publishing rules for their own GW-run events at Warhammer World causes everybody to lose their freaking mind. People are even fabricating stuff out of thin air to justify their paranoid rantings.

Pfffff. No use in trying to be the voice of reason around here. Just sit back, grab some popcorn, and watch this cavalcade of comedy march on. It's dinner and a show.

Now I actually want popcorn.

Off to the microwave...

You mean just like the yellow shirted judges allegedly did according to what was reported in the OP. What the document says is irrelevant if said report has any truth to it as the judges were pulling things out of their backsides left, right and centre.

Gosh, you mean a yellow shirt actually asked someone why their drop pod doors were glued shut. Allegedly. Is there no end to GW brutality?

And in a GW run event, too. Oh, the humanity. Back to my popcorn.

Seriously, am I the only one that's more interested in the plastic SoBs than the GW rules?
And I live in the UK unlike a lot of posters, so that is a tad more relevant to me...

There is worse.

My 12 year old had to sit there as the organisers at Warhammer World questioned him on his mycetic spores. He had to submit to their compliments. At one point endured questioning about the bases on his gargoyles, and was forced to wait for two or three minutes until they concluded they looked great. Later on, the same concentration camp guards forced him up against a glass display box and asked him to place his army on a shelf.

I'm his dad, and I can see some massive therapy bills on the horizon.

You busted that quote chain somehow, HFO.

Sorry about the quote chain. Such an emotional business, couldn't type for the tears flooding my keyboard.

Not at all, that's the only reason I posted in this thread.

Though it's not exactly the most solid of rumours. But it does come in a favourable context.

Bahaha. Exalted.

I would not have a problem like this because I don't play in any GW run events... since they don't exist here outside of Throne of Skulls... but I do find it rather silly they won't allow proxies.

Currently my plan is to run Shadow Spectres as Dark Reapers because I hate running models with the same sculpt in an army, and the Shadow Spectres are incredible models. I suppose that wouldn't have been allowed?

Oh well, overall sounds kind of bunk to me but like most have said.. probably has very little affect. The 3 colors thing was funny though. White spray, wash and bolt gun... nice.

Proxies can be confusing and it's easier to ban then than make sure you check on every game to make sure that every proxy is clearly explained as to not give an unfair advantage to anyone.

But if they're not going to let you use your Forgeworld models for what they are, and they won't let you use them to proxy.. how do they keep selling the stuff to you?

Again, it doesn't matter much to me here in the US, but I'm sure it's a more pressing question in the UK.

I don't like lootas, so I am going to use stormboyz instead of lootas to represent lootas. No one should be able to tell me otherwise and so what if I gain a tactical advantage by having higher LOS from the stormboy models for shooting and it makes it easier to see over stuff and deny cover?

*No Tourney anywhere allows proxies. They allow limited 'counts as' *IF* the model is clearly converted and cannot be confused for anything else and has no better match for rules. Also, Such COUNTS AS usually requires TO approval.

*Forgeworld is handled differently, but usually, events who do not allow the rules allow the models to be used as their closest codex counterpart. Not as an excuse to proxy your ass off. If the event had allowed FW, you probably wouldn't be allowed to proxy them at all and would need to use them for what they are.

You guys act like GW is insane. These are the rules to every INDY GT that exists. You can't show up and proxy stuff, if you do, you are breaking the tourney's rules.

Why is this thread still here?

This is possibly the 5th most useless thread on dakka.

You do know that threads die faster when people don't post in them, and if it isn't your cup of tea you can ignore it right?

I don't believe anything that includes the plastic thunder hawk.

Yeah, it's actually so empty I don't even find anything to say about it. Even if trying very hard !

I wouldn't let him handle sharp objects and I fear for your life

I'll believe the plastic TH when I have it in my hands. I sold the metal TH on the rumor of a plastic kit, which ended up being a more expensive FW kit... Still the metal one need to go.

Hmmm. I may buy a FW Thunderhawk this Christmas, because if I do that then the plastic will surely happen, that's how it usually works for me... I go and spend $600 plus on a model, then a $100 kit comes out 6 months later.

Thanks for the rumor post though. Would like some Sister Allies, that would be cool!
