That's actually from the "Watch out! I'm 11 years old!" set. Also includes the "Hey, that's a cool tank! OOOPS!", "My Eldar and Ork Army has Landraiders", and "Nuh-uh! I only moved 6"!" cards.

The Nurgle set involves refried beans, Hot Pockets, and tomatillas.

I hear they are making a Dakka special wargear card, the "terminators don't wear terminator armour" card. It's going to be killer.

If it works well they also going to release the much fabled "there's no such thing as veteran sgts" card.

such fond memories.

OK. If a word is defined in the rules (immobilised) we use the game definition.

If a word is not defined in the rules -immobile - we use the real world definition. The real world definition of immobile is 'unable to move.' At the end of the game all vehicles are 'unable to move,' because nothing can move after the end of the game - things can only move during their turn. Yes that is slowed and clearly they meant 'was it capable of moving had the game continued.'

slowed. They need to define the vehicle state 'immobile' under vehicle characteristics, as one of the qualities of a vehicle - e.g. 'skimmer' 'fast' 'walker' 'tank,' et cetera. Then they need to decide whether that vehicle state should apply to immobilised vehicles, instead of a nebulous 'may not move until the end of the game' condition, which seems to be immobile but is not explicitly stated to be such.

It pisses me off because if they'd written 'immobilised' as I suspect was intended, and given immobile vehicles the same requirements as Artillery for garnering victory points, it would be without question and also not stupid. It's just such a bunch of half-arsed crap to leave things undefined when it would cost nothing to define them. Everything should be 'cause' and 'condition' and there should be no question as to what is which. A unit that is forced to flee acquires the 'falling back' descriptor. A tank that is stunned acquires the 'stunned' descriptor, which means such and such. A vehicle that is immobilised acquires the 'immobile' condition, not the 'may not move for the rest of the game.'

So your argument is that something that has been immobilised isn't actually immobile but something that was stunned is?

Opponent: "I have immobilized that thing there so it is now immobile."

Longshot: "No it's not, it just can't move for the rest of the game."

O: "Ok, well that thing there is stunned."

L: "Yeah it's immobile, not because it was immobilized but because it was stunned, therefore it is immobile."

O: "Did you fail English?"

L: "No, I just want them to define obvious words."

I?m waiting for the ?utter disregard of Logic? card, not only can it do all of the above mentioned things, but it trumps your opponent anytime he touches his rule book.

It is nigh unbeatable save only the ?I Win? card, but there is only one of those and Andy Chambers took it with him when he left.

**Griffen**

Did you know that when Andy left he drove off in a stunned Rhino and still got full victory points.

Darkchild's wife told me, and she would know.

**Lorek**

He also totes around a plasma cannon AND a bolter.

True story.

**Rygoth**

But does he center the template? That's what I want to know.

**Lorek**

Centerng Yon Template
A Commentary

A man of the moft educated sort will, upon being prefented with a situation involving multiple items which, being affected by a singe force, may react in several wayf, will strive to create a method of calculation allowing him to predict, without creating undue work for himself, the behavior of said objects to the single force. As a naturalist with a firm grounding in natural principalf, we see that, as required to maintain balance, the center is the crux of our dilemma. Doef the center actually, in transposing the effect from the realme of calculation to the realme of the emperical, substantiate our predictions? Not necesfarily. The Minde, seeking an anfwer easily grafped, sometimes tricks itself into a fallacy.

**Zubbiefish**

You know, I think Andy C. may have been selling his "I win" card on ebay to raise the money to fix his rhino.
I'm not sure... I think I bid on something like that.
It was a deal to be sure, the starting bid was something like $100,000.00 and it's only $84,000 shipping.
I hope I get it.

Of course, Graham Thorpe is a time-travelling hobo-hippie hybrid from the future. He has seen what the galaxy will be like in M41, and he's come to warn us all.

Apparently we'll eventually have our keisters handed to us by a bunch of pleasure-fearing mimes. Grim mimes... OF DOOOOOOOM!

**Dice Monkey**

Do they actually exonerate relics like the Emporer's fecal smudge, the emporers crusty mucus that builds around his nostrils, the emporers eye boogers?

**Lorek**

Eye boogers is passé. Sleepy seeds is the preferred term, or if you must be vulgar, "goopies".

**Darkchild**

bogies if your English.

Or bumrape, cos it's a cool word. Try saying it.

buuuuuuuummraaaaaape.
Yeah.

**bigchris1313**

Bumrape: would that have two different definitions?

**Darkchild**

no.

**Lorek**

It almoft rhymes withe "CharkDilde".

Almoft.

**ph34r**

I hear that WH40k 5th Edition will be a two page booklet attatched to a dictionary. Everyone knows all the obvious rules, anyway.

Oh, and one of the pages will definine bumrape as a game term. The other will be an advertisement for White Dwarf.

**Lorek**

That's stupid. Where are they going to put the LotR content? You know it's going to be in there.

**Dice Monkey**

Does anyone watch MST3?. This disarticualted discussion reminds me of my favourite song from the shaw

With a pickled mind,
We kick the nipple beer.
Steady as a goat,
We're flying over trout.
Getto down the highway
At the speed of light.
All I want to feel now is
The wind in my eyes.
Sack of monkeys in my pocket,
My sister's ready to go.

Chorus: Hear the engines roar now.
Idiot control now.
Hideous control now.
Nitty on the road now.
Midi in control,
Wheels on fire,
Burning rubber tires!

Near each other rolls now.
He really lets me go now.
Needy inches bow down.
Pity and a poor boy.
Hear the X's roll,
Peas on fire,
Burning rubber tires.
