Something that Ive wondered on some time and feel it is something that could be discussed.

Title and subject: Is it acceptable to paint Nazi decals and symbols on war gaming miniatures?
Obvious examples been WWII German miniatures and less obvious examples been a WWII inspired guard army.

- YES its acceptable
- NO its still not acceptable
- DEPENDS on the miniature game


It would be interesting to hear peoples opinions on this subject as it can be pretty down the middle depending who you ask and I feel it could spark an interesting debate.

Do you build non-wargaming models? (planes, cars, trains, etc)

What is you opinion of GW paintbrushes.

1. Good value
2. Overpriced
3. Horrible in every way
4. I don't use their brushes

What is the wargaming communities ethnic background? Would that be safe, or not a good idea to ask?

Do you ever buy models just because you like its looks or want to paint the model?

1. No, I never buy models based on looks, only stats.
2. It must look good and have decent stats for me to buy it.
3. Yes, I never buy models based on stats, only looks.

What gender are you?
1. Male
2. Female
3. Other

Not sure if this has been covered somewhere, but lots of people get into debates about the proportions of each gender in the war gaming hobby.

I think "What sex are you?" would probably get better results. Sex is a physical characteristic, gender is mental.

Warhammer or Warhammer 40k?

How do you feel about "Counts As" units in your army or your opponents' armies?

1) I love using them and feel they should be encouraged. Using imagination to create unique armies is what makes this hobby great!
2) I don't use them personally, but I don't mind when others do. Sometimes they're a nice change of pace.
3) I'll only allow them (or use them myself) if they look reasonably similar to the unit they're replacing. No IG "counting as" 'Nids in my games.
4) It depends how they're used. Sometimes small changes (like a proxy weapon) are okay, but I prefer the core of the model to be the official unit.
5) I don't think they should be allowed at all, WYSIWYG all the way!
6) I don't have an opinion one way or the other, but good luck using them in official GW tournies and stores.
7) My entire army is proxies made out of my brother's old pogs, and isn't it lunch time? I could really go for a "counts as" sandwich right now.
8) Other (write in)

I haven't seen this poll done before and it's something I've been wondering a lot about lately, as I am considering using some minis from other manufacturers to create a more unique Space Marine army. I would love to know what the folks around here think to try to get a general idea of how acceptable it is to fully replace an official GW unit with products from other manufacturers. Although my focus is generally with 40K, I'd like to open this poll to any and every tabletop game and manufacturer, so feel free to discuss WFB, Warmachine, Infinity, etc as well. Thanks for you consideration.

Question: witch is your favorite primarch on forgeworld
Answer: any of the primarchs

Which mechanicum has a better style (visual, play) 40k or 30k.

[Title] How long do your 40K matches last (1800 points)?

[1]Less than two hours.
[2]Two to three hours.
[3]Three to four hours.
[4]Four to five hours.
[5]More than 5 hours.
[6]Eternity.

I am just wondering to myself how long the average game takes for you guys. The points don't have to be precise, 1800 is my group's average game. Basically my group and I take around 4 or 5 hours to complete our weekly game, probably a little slower than most since we have 4 players in teams of two splitting the points. I'd say our group never actually finished a game to the end, one side tends to give up at one point, probably in part due to the length of the game...

What should GW do in terms of web bundles?

Get rid of them

Keep them the way they are

Keep them, but offter a discount

Can you post a poll asking whether 'base' differentiation matter to them? Such as a chaos daemons army in warhammer 40,000 using square warhammer fanasy bases against an army like rks with round bases. For measurement purposes I presume.
