Sorry, I hate the way the new templates are set up dave. I have the old ones which are the proper 8" inside that are, but the pics on GW's site showed them "cheating" using that spike tip to add some to the length of the template attack. I say the new templates are 1 overpriced, (Mine were no more then 8bucks, not 20). 2 they look fragile. and 3 seem to foster some cheattiness in my mind with the pics shown. Overpriced everything, they will be lucky if I pay full price for the rules book.

Sorry, I'm with the Wardens. But I'll support the LEAGUE!

That storm started in Ft. Wayne Ind, ripped through several states, knocked out power in WV as well, but we were somehow spared

Still nothing...it got really quite hot again..all of our food spoiled, my gf decided we needed to go to a hotel. still no internet or tv..but power and a hot shower for the night.

Dont blame you mate that must suck, how long are you expecting to be without power do you get a back payment for the inconvenience from your energy supplier


Are you taking your compressor and airbrush to the hotel LOL

you really move to a hotel? boy that sounds like you are in quite a bad situation... and all your foodstuff is ruined...? when we were on holiday the other week we mistakenly took out the fuses... and our fridge thawed down everything... that was quite the biggest amount of foodstuff i ever had to bring to the waste...

Yeah we are seeing an average of 40or so celsius here and if you lose power, your food will thaw and go bad! and no, he likely will not get any money back or lower rates as America sadly is the birthplace of Corporate Greed on an institutional scale,

Not a bad plan, Dave. Best of luck!

I vote for yes!

Hate to break it to you, Shaso, but it isn't just the corporate greed that is saddening in the States. We've got plenty of regular greed to go around.

Just for a night or two, there is no ETA yet, but my street won't get any work done until the more major parts of town get worked on first.yeah, the meat in the freezer is still frozen, but I don't think it will last long in this 90 degree heat. It'll be a HUGE waste, that is for sure!- Two Briskets in the freezer, will sadly have to be pitched..that makes me almost want to cry.

Through the cunning use of electricity at the hotel, I have turned my Droid into a wireless hotspot, so after we get some food, I'll catch up on your thread Vik.

I say go back, and instead of losing all that food, invite local friends for a BBQ of epic proportions so it does not go to waste Dave!

Oh I know, I was just laying blame where it needs to. But I know Greed has infested and infected much of the planet. Mass Consumerism is the true zombie-pocalypse.

I'm totally with you on the Mass Consumerism thing. Well, I'll have to catch you guys later. I'm off to buy the latest edition of WH40K


Ok, that was a joke. But you have to see the irony of denouncing consumerism on a forum dedicated to small, plastic spacemen that cost a fortune...

yeah... fry that lot... don´t let that prime meat get all to waste... roast the soul out of it and then feast on the lot until you topple over from heartburn due to the amount of grease you got inside you then^^

and cool tinkering^^

Yes, throw a street party eat, drink, overindulge have a great time …… that way no waste

Most of you yanks have gas BBQ, so power will not be an issue

by the way dave... i just had a look at the terragenesis site... and it turns out i knew your stuff way longer then i new dakka... your incernator or the imperial boiler... classic stuff^^

and just for the more audience here... what do you guys think of a little themed terrain competition? just for fame and glory? a small item each time... ? the outlines are negotiable of course... but on terragenesis it had quite a good tradition and lots of cool ideas came up...

That sounds fun, especially with the new terrain rules in 6th.

Actually I won the first TG terrain comp, my reward was setting the second competition parameters. That tradition is still going on there from what I can tell. I think that is a great idea Vik!

No BBQ i am afraid, the weather is so dry, there is a county-wide ban or burning of any kind, fireworks, grills, it's too dry, the grass will catch fire with the slightest spark..hell you can get arrested for getting caught throwing a cigarette butt out the car window. And no party since you can't keep the beer cold, and the liquor store is out of power and closed.

btw..I read the rules wrong, the Meltagun is still an assault weapon wih AP of 1- that means it still Kicks tank ass!

Rawson, yes, I am so conflicted a soul!

Yeah Dave Meltas are still kick ass tank killers!

sad about no BBQ

I have loads of the old templates too, even some cardboard ones and apoc templates. I got these just because they looked cool (and I thought I might press mold the arches )
