Interesting video self-documentary about a guy who feels like the internet is invading too much of his life, so he tries to go offline starting May 1st.
Of course that also means that he will not be able to do any online gaming, so he will need a replacement for his Starcraft fix, guess where he goes (@4:44)
I'm both selfish and rational. I'm scheming, secretive and manipulative; I use knowledge as a tool for personal gain, and in turn obtaining more knowledge. At best, I am mysterious and stealthy; at worst, I am distrustful and opportunistic.
LOL I posted the obligatory "Thumbs up if you're here because of Dakka Dakka."

Then Horus comes across the lone grot, somehow managing to kill the Emperor, and punts it into space.

The starter set is actually a pretty decent deal, especially if you plan on playing one of the armies in it. I would say that the deal would be better if he could sell the other models on eBay, but oh well.

If you're a new player, the starter set is a great deal. So go ahead and be proud that you overpaid for your rulebook, dice, templates and first 50 or so miniatures.

Yeah I can't wait until the starter set comes out. A rulebook for our gamer group, and a huge discount on a tonne of models. Good times.
Ever thought 40k would be a lot better with bears?

Of course it is! Me and Albatross got one each and split the models.
Everyone know this, Norn King is being an elitist nerd.
"He bought a starter set?! NOOB ALERT!"
We are arming Syrian rebels who support ISIS, who is fighting Iran, who is fighting Iraq who we also support against ISIS, while fighting Kurds who we support while they are fighting Syrian rebels.
What I meant was, every single time when I would go into GW, some damn salesmen (I know, it his job) would try and
sell it too me. It annoys the crap ouuta me.
