Hush now. We know the suffering you feel inside. How you must fight yourself as well as your foes that constantly crush you over their heel. Shh... for now we can all stay united. Just don't mind if tentacles brush you or tongues lick you, they are just trying to comfort you.


Well...I suppose a little hug isn't totally heresy...

My Tyranids also need a hug.

Preferably one they don't have to pay 15 dollars a pop for.

As an IG player, you'd think I would be afraid of CC armies and other stuff. But actually, im terrified of Tau. Their excess of long range stuff can outshoot me any day of the week.

Greebo had spent an irritating two minutes in that box. Technically, a cat locked in a box may be alive or it may be dead. You never know until you look. In fact, the mere act of opening the box will determine the state of the cat, although in this case there were three determinate states the cat could be in: these being Alive, Dead, and Bloody Furious.

I fear a new codex more than anything I think, but that's a pretty distant fear.

I guess I fear riptides just as much as anyone else ought to. My tyranid friend's Hive Crone has been way more durable in-game than it would seem to be on paper; makes me wonder if Skyblight is nasty at all, at least against Necrons.

My guardsmen don't fear the Eldar so much as just pack up in dejected resignation.

When playing against Eldar, after deployment, I invoke the "Our Weapons are Useless" rule and pack everything right back up.

My Sentry Pylon blew up a Grey Knights Land Raider with the first shot of the game once.

I do believe it was the only game I've fielded it in in which it actually earned back its points though...

Was a fun moment thought.
