So, ive reached an impass with someone running a 40k Leauge. His claim is that my Space Wolf units MUST be used as Blood Claws, because the majority are modeled with BP/CCWs. I modeled them with the intention of using them as Grey Hunters, I just greatly prefer the BP/CCW design and modeled them that way, with the occasional "True Grit" Bolter/CCW thrown into the mix. Grey Hunters have BP/CCWs as part of their wargear, and I didnt forsee a problem.

So whats everyones take on this? Is he wrong to force me to use them as Blood Claws? Am I wrong to want to use them as Grey Hunters?

Thanks for all the replys everyone! I will try and reason with him about the models the next time I see him.

I must confess: Roi Kuro is absolutely right, before my models were what they are in pictures posted above, they were pretty horrible to behold. Thats why I've gone so such lengths to make them presentable. In addition, I have another box of unassembled models, which I will be sure to build with bolters displayed.

Roi Kuro: I never tried to make you out as a "dick" on the forum here. I just wanted to see what other people thought about the situation, and to make sure I wasn't being unreasonable about wanting to play them as GH's. I certainly dont cheat, nor do I ever intend to.

I did in fact believe at one time, that vehicles got cover by being in area terrain. I learned something new that day at the tourny, and havent made the same mistake since. Also, I didnt "blow up" (though my vehicles all did! ) nor did I redeploy anything.

Heres the Jump Chaplain formerly known as Cassius. Ive gotten an actual cassius model as of two months ago

Its possible I was an ass-hat without realizing it at times. If that is the case, which it seems to be, then im truly sorry.

Ive played with some questionable models, like the Jump Trooper Cassius I have attached to my above post. I even went into a tourny game thinking vehicles got cover from area-terrain.

But Roi, what has me completely confounded, is that your refusing to let me into the league, well AFTER I've got to great lengths to get my army into shape. I even went so far as to make preparations for a really awesome looking Bastion, should it ever come into play during the campaign. Its already half finished.

I would have thought you'd be thrilled to hear I took your words to heart.

Im sorry you got dragged into this too.

If it was ONLY that Roi didnt want to play with me, I would simply let it alone. But him not wanting to play with me means I wont get to play with ANYONE, as everyone is going to be wrapped up in the Campaign every day for what would appear to be quite a long time!


EDIT: Perhaps it'd be better if we all sat down together one day, and talked this through, over a beer or two. My treat!

Anyway, Roi: I would very much like to play in the 40k campaign, Ive been looking forward to it for some time now. If Ive really been acting like an ass-hat in the past, then im truly sorry, I had no idea I was causing anyone grief. Ive tried to clean up my act, get my models and my bastion ready, so if there's some way we could reach some kind of compromise, I would really like that.

The final say on the matter seems to be that Roi is unwilling to work towards a resolution, and thus the game will be played Sans-Dan. This is something that really saddens me, as I had nothing against Roi prior to this, and that it cuts me off from playing what promised to be a cool 40k campaign with a number of awesome people. Such is life, and I'd like to thank everyone for putting up with this mess of a thread.
