Class forum back and forth dudes - Pile of shame is simply product that you feel shame when you look at it

Think of it as gym equipment you bought yet you barely use it and gained a bit of weight. Shame/Avoidance

I own 3 unpainted armies. Only 1 is a pile of shame since It's about $500+ of models I might work on in 2-3 years.

They aren't. Whether they should be is a very different question.


Are you seriously trying to shame how someone goes about their hobbies? So you just have a problem with how other people like to be happy with toys..... you are a real piece of work, it was fun but now its not. You are now consider a waste of time to me. Buh-bye.

I remind you once again that insults and rage are not a substitute for a valid argument.

One of their light walkers carried a weapon of lethal effect. It fired a form of ultra-high velocity projectile. I saw one of our tanks after having been hit by it. There was a small hole punched in either flank - one the projectile's entry point, the other its exit. The tiny munition had passed through the vehicle with such speed that everything within the hull not welded down had been sucked out through the exit hole. Including the crew. We never identified their bodies, for all that remained of them was a red stain upon the ground, extending some twenty metres from the wreck.

Bow before the Greater Good, gue'la.

Then tell me why you ignored my point that someone with a more complicated paint scheme gets the same VP as someone painting Raven Guard or Iron Hands. Why should a Howling Griffons or Imperial Fist player get the same score as someone not trying hard enough?

LOL I always felt bad bc my Nids "counted as painted" when its just spray, splash, dip, it took less time to paint 8k nids than it did 2k Cities of Sigmar haha (heck it took less than than 500pts but I needed to wait for it to dry lol). Pic for example. Literally its just Spray white, rush and dont care get red on the carapace, claws, and mouth, sand, and nip. But thats worth 10VP and some persons 400 hour beautifully painted Knights army isn't worth anything bc 1 Armiger wasn't painted in time WHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
