I don't have any idea what you're talking about... but I suspect it's here.

No more? Come on, I thought we'd be on to a good thing here. Ouze specifically, with your obvious love foe Dakka memes!

The Herman heresy was hard to live through but I smeugal fan, dillyx, wolf lord orion and WarlordGuppy lived through it

Keep the shops coming, and a meme will be born...

Skills

Consider me a member.

I have no shoop skills, but I can begin writing the fluff.

Oh dear i have to share my high school gaming experince......
So one day i was in my world history class. My history teacher who is the best history teach i have ever had, basically looked at the clock and said. "Okay kiddos, this is the last day of class and I have to say somethings about everyone here and the hobbies that everyone should consider.... You guys ready OKAY! So basically if you haven't heard but I am major nerd, well you know a heavy weight lifting champion nerd who likes to play historical wargames and all those interesting video games like fallout 3 and fallout new vegas it touches my heart to know kids still play wargames. Though there are only 4 wargamers in this room. *me and my friends starting wooting* Yeeaaahhhh. Its good to be acknowledging the fact your a nerd but wargamers you may want to keep it to cultist activities from now on. But knowing the blonde Australian student i have there he will probably ignore me and continue to do so because he just doesn't care what the social media thinks of him."

Hehehe best teacher ever, and he was referring to me

Also one time my teacher in a lunch room saw that i was reading the worst book you can bring to school..... "Chaos Daemons Codex." which was in pdf form. I had it taken away and then i told them to bugger off because it was mine and i purchased it and that it was no gang symbol or anything stupid. I got it back and they were more embarrassed than i was, because i don't get embarrassed about my wargaming.

When some one gives me trouble about being a Wargamer I usually tell them to shut the feth up and sit the feth down ( I get away with this by being lineman sized from Football too). Better that I'm painting mini's and playing a game than snorting rails and banging broads with loose constitutions and more STD's than a subway toilet seat.

Keep it up with the Shops gentlemen!

People being ignorant and jumping to conclusions is why I am slow to give information about myself out to people I meet.

It's a good policy.

I could care less what anyone has to say or think about my hobby. What does it matter? I do this for myself, no one else.

Why not do both?

Good question...not enough time in the day?

So we post any way

Got some free time and saw this thread again. So minor upgrade, but still only paint.

Rigged as hell

No more rigged

You forget the leaflets on 'How DnD makes you an Axe Murderer!' that were left for me when we were dating?

Really the whole 40k/Warhammer/DnD/Gaming fear worries and amuses me on equal levels. I got into a conversation just last year with a neighbour of mine on, how spiritual the games are and how they affect my spirituality/morals... I kind of gave up getting to know the person after they went ashen when I told them that there were fake dieties in each game I played. I did try to emphasize the pretend bit.

This is beautiful; I love the throne/chairry.

My parents are highly relgious and had a fit when I first so much as showed them an Ork figure

I told them it was an artistic parody of the Shrek franchiese to get them off my back, which weirdly enough did work

The most ridiculous moment was when I asked for a set of Grail Knights from my overly christian grandparents for christmas, they claimed it was evil and demonic despite having bought me a chaos rhino for my previous birthday, I had to explain to them that the holy grail is supposed to be a Christian artefact and that Bretonnians are basically the most christian models you can buy in warhammer. It was just one of those moments where you have to facepalm

I started playing 40k again my senior year of high school (2000-2001), I had an independent study class all throughout school, which basically let me make my own lesson plan for that class (aka I got to screw around as long as I could prove I was doing something -I- thought was productive and present something about it at the end of the project). So for the second half of the year another student in the class and I decided to build a small gaming table for 40k in a Flash size games. Our teachers were fine with this and we made a rather simple (the base was painted wood), but cool gaming table stocked with well made terrain that we ended up donating to the FLGS. In the same class but years earlier we designed a Roleplaying campaign in the fashion of DnD and played it for a few weeks at the end of semester with the entire class. No one in class, nor teachers, judged our hobbies or projects negatively, it was nice.

Today, arguably the best of the local conventions is held twice a year in a local high school, by their gaming club. http://recruits.mtswebsites.com/index.php

I think my local area is spoiled because of this.

Skill

I'm putting out feelers at my school about a war gamming club seeing as how I have to run at least one that meets for at least one hour after school each week.

They have a boardgames club, lego club, Wii club and a 'School of Rock' club and aren't a religious school so I think I'll be ok.

I was actually going to ask for advice on this soon, about if I should buy a couple of Assault on Black Reach sets to run it with?

I think I can swing a small budget to pay for some of it.


Stories and pictures are epic. Internets all round.

Sorry I missed this before...

The lady who wrote that had an article before it that talked about how Games Workshop was attempting to brainwash children into unthinking killing machines.

Completely epic.
