Should have just contacted GW they would have probably sent you a new one.

I am going to a large tournament in about a month, I was going to try a much more meta list for my army, with the new Tau codex I don't think I will even bother and will just bring a more fun to play list as I have realized my army has 0 chance of beating a new Tau tournament list.

Tru dat. One thing I can't fault them for is instant replacement for faulty items. Once got a warped LRBT wall. Got a replacement shortly thereafter, and I was able to fix the tank. You are sometimes required to take a photo, however.

It really isn't a huge warp. Its barely noticeable if I don't point it out, but I need some way to bend it back

Even if you have to take a photo who cares, if there is a legitimate fault in the product they are really good about replacing it. I was missing a piece of a model when it came in, they sent me a whole new model.

I use Flash Gitz in basically every Ork list I run. People can say Flash Gitz are terrible but I will continue to run them because they are just too much fun.

I am really terrible about remembering the proper order of when to roll for table edges, warlord traits, psychic powers, etc in the pre game. I am also horrible about remembering what my warlord trait is half the time.

I tend to find myself taking forever to finish a turn because I like to think and chat with the opponent. I really don't realize how slow I play until I look and see our 2k point game took 3-4 hours to play.

I play Eldar. With a few exceptions, I don't run ScatBikes, I don't run D-weapons and I've never used a Wraithknight.

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 use tons of proxies. Bad one too until I can get my army painted. Like a penny if need be, but its between friends so eh. if they want to proxy something I'm game.

I really want to start a SoB army, but I don't think I can handle any more disappointment. (I currently play exclusively Non-FW CSM.)

"Because we couldn't be trusted. The Emperor needed a weapon that would never obey its own desires before those of the Imperium. He needed a weapon that would never bite the hand that feeds. The World Eaters were not that weapon. We've all drawn blades purely for the sake of shedding blood, and we've all felt the exultation of winning a war that never even needed to happen. We are not the tame, reliable pets that the Emperor wanted. The Wolves obey, when we would not. The Wolves can be trusted, when we never could. They have discipline we lack, because their passions are not aflame with the Butcher's Nails buzzing in the back of their skulls.

The Wolves will always come to the heel when called. In that regard, it is a mystery why they name themselves wolves. They are tame, collared by the Emperor, obeying his every whim. But a wolf doesn't behave that way. Only a dog does.

That is why we are the Eaters of Worlds, and the War Hounds no longer."

But I've always paid for it, and nobody has questioned me on it, so i still use him today

1. I play daemons, and have only ever used the Grimoire once. Didn't use it to get a 2++ re-rollable (I play mono-Slaanesh), however I did combine it with Cursed Earth in order to get a 2++. It felt so dirty...

2. I use Seeker Chariots often, even going to far as to put a Herald on one. Everyone tells me they're terrible but I just can't help it. Plus it feels so good to wipe an enemy with them.

3. I constant forget about the re-roll To Hit rolls part of the Locus of Beguilement.

4. I've always wanted a Necron army. I even have some Necron minis and all three of their 'dexes, it's just that they keep becoming OP, and I'm not that kind of person...

5. I haven't played CSMs in about 2.5 years because of their codex, yet I still consider myself a CSM player on the inside...

My gaming group uses a decent amount of terrain when we play, and I love the tactical feeling it brings having units advance via cover to cover... Except when our tau player is playing. We have all agreed, that if we don't get cover saves, neither does he. Know what? It definitely shows the weaknesses of tau when you're able to wipe out a good chunk of their army because they have no cover saves fishes aren't that tough now

Me too!

But my main confession is I have never finished a solo game. Which is pretty silly, but I normally run out of time, whereas for Apocalypse we schedule so much time we always finish early. I think I need to sort this one out.
