The joke is completely on you, because I just found out that we have been doing vehicle assaults and tankshocks incorrectly! Turns out I'm the noob, too! That, and it turns out that my FW have a better chance in combat than I thought, because we've been using assaults incorrectly!

You know that sinking feeling when....

- You ring to book your spot in a tourney, turn up on the day and you realise the guy you spoke to on the phone lied and you are the only girl playing in the tourney

-You play in your said tourney, knowing every guy whos not married is watching you.. PRESSURE!

-Your idiot opponent for round 2 in said tourney blabs through lunch about how hes going to own you and you are going down...
(Then you pull out chaos daemons and proceed to make the 40 year old fat basterd cry... i <3 it)

-You deep strike your first half of the army and it dies... Taking your heavys with it :( FFFFFUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!

-You bring your army out at a tourney and realise its rainbow and everyone else got a memo about black painted armies being cool this decade...

-You play another chaos daemons player... Who wants to win no matter what....

- You deep strike and roll onto the mishap table where your opponent can place the model anywhere, and he picks somewhere dickish.

-You deep strike ALL of your army by the 2nd turn

-You play a guy whos been playing since the 2nd ed and you realise you been playing for 6 months...

- You come home from work, after staying up till 2-3am putting water-effects on your lava bases which have been carefully placed up high on a table or such, only to realise THE F%$KING CAT STEPPED IN IT AND NOW ITS EVERYWHERE!!!!
or worse.. has a stupid furry print in it...

-Your cat approves of the newest 100$ model you bought and see's it as a new toy to play with when you dont have anywhere to hide it...

-You buy a skulltaker, spend 25 hours painting it, basing it and carefully pack it away only to pull it out next time you want to play with him to realise somethings broken off it(ie:sword) and you cant find it to glue it back on!!!

Gotta be honest I would stare if I saw a female at a tourny in the same way I would stare at a bear playing 40k at a tournament, Its just not something you see everyday. On the plus side if the presence of female wargamers encourages proper hygiene and grooming this can only be a good thing.

Also make your friends learn to play so your not the only female at tournys =)

My first reaction would not be to stare (or at least try to). It would be more along the lines of "hey cool, there is a female here".
Also...I take umbrage at that :(
I follow proper hygiene and grooming! Take a shower everyday. I do not really was my hair though (it is too thick to do it, as the shampoo can not get anywhere near my scalp ). So I just rinse it. Works just fine, and my hair does not annoy the crap out of me.

I agree I shower once a day as well, as for washing the hair it's actually healthier for your hair not to shampoo it every time but i do rinse my hair and beard at the very least. As for a girl playing thats great especially at a tournament level. My wife is workin to get to that point that she can play at tournaments herself actually.

Neither, really. It would benefit me with close quarters (i.e: my FWs are an even match to termagaunts in cqb). However, my tanks aren't as invulnerable to mc assaults as we thought.
