As a student, I spend my Summers (and this current Christmas) in Calgary, and my school months in Lethbridge. As such, I spend time with two different gaming groups. Anyway, this tournament was held in Calgary, but some Lethbridge people came to play as well. Anyway, one of the people from the Lethbridge group ended up writing this fairly hateful blog about people at the tournament:

What got me was the personal attack against me:

Grey Knights. Draigo, wound allocated 10 man squad of paladins, vindicare assassin. Players Choice for best painting (we'll get to that later, let's just say I drew with him for first but didn't win). I personally CANNOT stand this guy. He goes to school in my city and is renowned in the scene as a douche.

He's just a single member of the Lethbridge group, but because of that attitude, I avoid going to play with the group unless some of my friends want to go.

Just read this guys blog and without a doubt this guy is the biggest douche in gaming next to that stelek guy (who seems to only own 1 shirt) I am raging so fething hard right now that I may have to charge ma lazers.

Sounds like someones throwing their toys out the pram because they didn't win anything to me! What a prat!

Also, nice Grey Knights you have, the paintjob is brilliant!

Wow. Horrible blog was horrible. Full of scathing personal attacks and whinging far too much about Blood Angels. Wonder what would happen if someone showed up with Flesh Tearers or Knights of Blood? Or hell, Lamenters? Would he have a fit because there was black or yellow involved? Must ALL Blood Angels armies be red? Is he really that much of a gakker?

Nice army btw and best to ignore people like that. Seriously, it's a blog post full of personal attacks. Gives you some idea what sort of person he is.

Agreed. Even if you were the most horrible person in the history of WAAC, TFG 's - that guy was your mentor.

What a Bitter fellow. He was either hugged too much, or not enough as a kid....

I just read his blog, and boy he can really dish out the attitude. I would be quite miffed if i went to a tourney and most armies were blood angels but i dont see cause to slag off every army just because its unique to the others. And personally i dont see what was wrong with no hatches, it symbolises the ability to shoot 5 people from it instead of the lasguns (which im sure any GK player would love to use instead of their standards) on the side.

I was going to comment on his blog, but oh wait, Comments are closed! I feel sorry for you having to even know who this guy is. I'll take on the family guy italian stereotype and say if i were you this guy would not like me coming round and showing him a thing or two about, ahem manners!

Yeah this blog is a piece of feth (that is the first time ever I used that word).

Reason being is that, he hates everyone by the sounds of it, When he was "apparently" tied for first and the IG guy won it he was dishing out the dirt on it and personally there was nothing wrong with it, and he thinks he is the best, and he was sick of ALL the BA but when there was different army's He was surprised and even disrespected them (I mean he didn't like BA or GK yet he moan on like a meldrew about all other army's... What a complete waste of a blog)

In other words if you see this guy again tell him he is Victor Meldrew and if he asks why tell him about how he wined like one on his blog...

(on a side note if he dose not know what Victor Meldrew is, tell him to watch him on you tube)

That time when I saw these guys



I considered for days whether to get some of these awesome guys. I finally got some spare money and then I realize they're OOP.

Yeah, but then you get a look at the current Incubi models and never look back

I was at a doubles tournament a while ago. It was a swell time, and I had a lot of fun with my IG and my Dark Eldar teammate. All our opponents were great to play against, we had a lot of fun, and placed well! Unfortunately, there was one guy (he's well known in our gaming area) who started cussing someone out and screaming at them before the day even started. We hadn't even done our first match ups and this guy was already flying off the handle. In one of my games, I was stuck playing next to him. From the start of turn 1, he was bitching about how there's too many Space Marine armies at tournaments, people should be more creative, and so on. Of course he says this in the face of his opponent, who's playing Space Marines. To ice that cake, he's playing Space Marines himself. I ran into him a bunch at my old gaming group, and he's one of the reasons I left.

I looked at that and thought, "what?" Anybody claiming that space marines are at tournaments too much and then bringing them himself, then calling those people unoriginal acting as if he's brought Live models who actually shoot other models on the board... should just not go to them at all. It ruins the fun, especially when you are not even playing them and its the surrounding people who suffer too.
