thats high gothic that is

I am trying to watch a movie/ clean my room/ get to painting, I did not really read the thread.

I say D6 it.

XD

Or else the guy whose house it is makes the call before the game.

Heck you could even take a vote or change from game to game.

I think they are cool and will be getting some, although I do not know what they will be (between Inquisition and Veteran Guard). I am not buying five.

Although it certainly was not the point of my post, you folks certainly have proven why this model is so controversial as to be pretty much unplayable IMHO. The guys I game with are probably a lot like most of you and the very points many of you make are the same things we discussed. And these are just not topics I want to spend my gaming night discussing (as I stated in the OP). So on the shelf they stay (now for those of you who have reading comprehension problems let me clearly state that there is no 'for sale' offer in that statement).

A big thank you to the folks who did stay on topic.

Just curious as to on the shelf forever or are you waiting for some kind of answer from GW, because it will not come. They will never answer this kind of question because they feel it does not deserve one. Again read Jervis articles, and see how they play the Valk in the Bat Reps, they do not belive there is any problem and have no respect for those who feel there is one, not just on this, but on this kind of issue where you are taking the BRB and using it to impose restrictions by strict reading of the rules.

They do not belive in strict reading of the rules.


Im not agreeing with them on that, I agree there is a problem, I just feel its easily resolved, you dont, thats cool.

GW on the other hand does not, so you will not get an answer from them.

Oh snap!

Or rules in general!

As a girl, I'm assuming you're talking about girth?

that would make you precisly half the man i am

10" diameter?

If you're going to lie, at least make it halfway believable.

Yours doesn't have the dimensions of a mayonaise jar? Bum luck, mate.

Girth is the distance around, like circumference.

Diameter is the distance across a circular object, its (width)

Girth =/=Diameter

5" girth would be like 1.59 inches thick (diameter), not too bad.

10" girth would be over 3 inches, which is pretty impressive but i guess not totally crazy

Nope.

Some of us are packing quite a bit more than that, half pint...

you sir, are a circus freak

This thread bound to be locked when I get up in the morning....

But for my input on topic, deploy as if it's on the board like a normal transport. Anyone who trys to gain an advantage by not letting you deploy because of RAW isn't worth playing.

Well, duh.

starting with abtha, we've been trying to get it locked since page 1!

I just read through this whole thread and I feel like half my brain cells are screaming for mercy and the other half are trying to give it to them. This thread is a load of crock. The only thing that made sense was Gary Oak.

Are people selling Valkyries in here?

Nice of you to condescend, why not add anything helpful while stopping by?

because LOL DRAMAZ, can only be responded to with more LOL DRAMAZ?

I mean it's "boycott the val!", and since the op won't go into detail, one can really only respond with "OMG HURTZ GW WHERE IT COUNTZ" or "Get over it and, make up house rules allready..."

QFT. About 1/2 the "big" issues on YMDC fall under the heading "obvious if you are not a rules lawyer TFG. Only the biggest pain the arse would tell an IG player that troops are unable to disembark.

The way I approach it is to ask before hand how they want to play it.

Just assuming you can use the model as is and break the normal rules doing it IS being TFG.

Talk about it before the game.

Hush now.................

There are 4 standard flight stems. 2 of them are under an inch tall.

Quick we need a YMDC about baneblades not even being able to deploy from reserves due to their length to balance out this thread

RAW is awesome.. It allows you to ignore the game and instead argue about totally useless things that no one would argue about in a real game with real people

So how exactly do you resolve situations where the rules don't work without discussing them?

Just curious...

pistol duels, mainly, though with the drop in local players, we might have to change that

that + your avatar = lol





But in other news why can't people find a workaround and stop all this "omg it's too tall" bs. It's just looking for an excuse to tell someone else they can't use their new model.

Well if GW actually gave a damn about their rules instead of just stringing random words together on restaurant napkins and hoping for the best there probably wouldn't have been any bs in the first place.

IMO the only BS is players who want all of the benefits of a valkyries height with none of the limitations.

Posting in an epic thread.

Also, strict RaW is the suck, any and all problems with the valkyrie can be resolved in minutes. Huzzah!

I'm sorry. Valkryies too...cool...
