If it wasn’t for “counts as”, I would have left the game due to boredom long ago. That said, I think that if someone is going to play a counts as army, thousand sons as space wolves or admech as gk, you just have to be ready for someone to complain. Hell, bols had an [...]

You know, you are right. It probably does happen all of the time. It just surprised me. And do I think someone capable of confusing the truth is going to flip a table? Probably not. But again, I do find it odd that we put our models, models that both you and I spend lots [...]

Again, a psychotic break. A disconnect from reality. Sometimes called “splitting”. This is observed by comparing a shared experience an version of the truth, with a different account of the same event. It is seen after the fact.

This is different than “psychotic behavior”, which is why I never said those words.

I’ll try again. I take no issue with the event, the players at the event, or any actions of players at the event. What concerns me, is the difference between what I saw at the event, and what I have seen reported. When Johnny the quarterback loses the big game due to a fumble, no [...]

Thanks, Gerbil! What I am worried about though, is how to make a mold in an angular “ice shard” shape. I had considered using a small amount of liquid resin in a cylinder, tilted at an angle, then after it cures, using more and more little “sips” of resin, turning the cylinder each time to [...]

At no point did I ask anyone to “take my word for it”. I am sharing my opinion, and opinions are neither right or wrong. As for being upset with BoK, I can’t help you there. By focusing my response on my own personal interest, a perceived risk to the hobby and models I love, [...]

Glad it isn’t just me. Again, I am no pro player, so I am commenting from more of a layman’s perspective. Also, and maybe this is just far to personal to even mention as an observation, but as much as I love 40k, I am not entirely sure that playing 8 games over 48 hours [...]

I cannot expect anyone to take my word as truth due to my refusal to present specific data; I just wanted to share my personal response to attending the event. And again, the point isn’t about individuals, but rather about our hobby as a whole. In my opinion, some of the internet strangers involved in [...]

I didn’t see any cheating either, and I too was a volunteer ref during the invitational. As you pointed out, it was the after-the-fact commentary that blew my mind. I am glad you got a kick out of my Skaven Dark Eldar! I would have been terrified to fight your Grey Knights, but it would [...]

GDMNW: Wow, I guess my tone was misconstrued. I am not knocking the British, in fact I legitimately think I would be better suited in their play atmosphere. As for the ustream, I don’t think it’s fair that they were calling my opponent a cheater. Should I apologize for defending my opponent? I not only [...]

The COBRA army, as well as all of the finalist armies, were beautiful. It was an honor just to have my work compared to that of such talented artists!

It was great meeting you at NOVA! I hope that once you finish your Orks, we can get a game in at an event sometime. Shoot me an email or PM or something if there is anything I can help you with in terms of your genestealer cult project!

While I appreciate your support, I can assure you my opponent on table 1 was not cheating. He did make a few mistakes with his codex, mostly to his own disadvantage, but we had a judge very close to the table to help us out. As for the wound allocation issue, Jamie was not sure [...]

Kevin: I am glad you like the army! I do appreciate the input, but I really like the “Fursaken” in the name. I thought about that name for a long time. It needed to communicate something about the codex I planned to use (Dark Eldar), and the models that would represent it. Also, I like [...]

“It’s generally felt that ‘tournaments’ are for determining a winner at the game – rather than the hobby.”

I’m not sure who you’ve been feeling…

All good suggestions. Thanks!

RealGenius: Thanks for the advice! I think you are really on to something when you mention tension in muscles not used in painting. When I am painting detail, I find that I get physically tired pretty quickly, and I blame that on subconscious tension in my back and legs. It’s funny, when I wrote this [...]
