APRIL FOOLS YOU JABRONIES

**Snrub**

Legoburner just dished out a righteous arse kicking in the department of April Fools day japery.

Bravo Lego, nicely done.

**warboss**

I fully support this move and anxiously await the ability to make my first post in the new Spots the Space Marine subforum.

Hissy isss not a happy Hive Tyrant.....

At first I was like

and then I was like.

**the_Armyman**

I, for one, welcome our new Privateer Press overlords. PP is next in line for the throne, right?

**warboss**

I'm glad that the focus will finally shift from Gw and their boring products like orks, skaven, and the squats to something more deserving and original from smaller companies, like Mantic's line of orx, veermyn, and forge fathers.

**monkeytroll**

Good one Lego

You know that the secret GW tech-servitor who is allowed access to the outside world from his locked cell 10 levels below Warhammer World is going to see that thread title pass by his monitor and send a secure communication somewhere.....

Kill the GW sections of this forum with fire!

Was hoping it was serious, but had logged in earlier today to see what the April fools joke was going to be.

**Pacific**

Nice one, was so busy looking for a Kid Kyoto thread that this completely blind-sided me!

Man you scared the poopies outta me. I immediately thought "But but but, I don't "like" anyone else's games, they're all generic and dull, poorly fluffed, nitpicky and 'balanced', bleccch!"

I'm kinda serious, you really had me. I didn't even think about the date. 10/10

generic

Sounds like 40k, what with everything in the universe being derivatives of other archetypes and whole game being "fantasy in space!"

and dull

That's like, your opinion, man

poorly fluffed,

Considering a lot of the fluff I've read for 40k, I'd assume you were talking about it!

nitpicky

Have you *seen* all the new rules they're coming out with for the Adeptus Mechanicus!

and 'balanced', bleccch!"

Well yeah, that certainly isn't a problem with 40k

What? I was just messing with you man, it just seemed to make it easier to read breaking it down like that.

Plus, did you not see my smiley?

**Absolutionis**

What about converted models? What percentage of the model needs to be composed of non-GW parts in order to still remain in the Gallery?

Are we allowed to use GW bases on models going forward?

As someone that enjoys conversions, I think this rule is a bit strict.

**edlowe**

Remember to remove the models based with citadel fine sand aswell

**Theophony**

Does this apply to everything GW? Or just actual products? I'm concerned as I have used red, blue and grey before as well as skulls and as they own the rights to those things as well as arrows...... The gallery might become a bit sparce.
