@ prepaints and heroscape terrain.
That makes you a professional wargamer that we should all listen to, I'm telling you.
Just FYI, AT43 sucks flying monkey balls. You know it, I know it, and most other people who see your table will know it.
I love the oak finish on your table with the heroscape ice terrain. That's fucking hilarious.
Oh this is gonna be FUUUN. (BTW, I reported you. I may be highly annoyed at some things J Ford says, but he is at least rational and CIVIL. And as will be seen. HE CAN AT LEAST READ.)
Let us take it from the top, shall we?
As we all know, you have Games Workshop's cock thrust deeply down your throat, spreading its hot cum into your stomach.
Why you wish to white knight a company even most Warhammer 40K and Fantasy players consider to suck ass is beyond me. But we have your credentials in check. And I have already chided one person on what I considered to be threadshitting in this thread. (Which was more me being highly irritated as opposed to him genuinely being a douche. You on the other hand? )
First off, you claim it is my table when if instead of trying to defend the most popular (albeit undeserved) miniatures wargame on the face of the planet with your fanboyism, you could have read why I like the game and a light explanation of some of its mechanics, and a couple sentences saying how we were playing at the THERIAN PLAYER'S HOUSE. He does not have a dedicated wargaming setup. We had some quick terrain from me (the always asskicking Heroscape terrain, which is both flexible AND portable) and his kitchen table.
I am sure he and his wife would be HAPPY to have an elite table if you wish to say send them a Citadel Realm of Battle or even that 30 dollar Citadel table cover thingie they just came out with.
Now on to prepaints: I LIKE prepaints. In fact, I fucking hate painting. While I do not have much of a life, I do however have SHIT TO DO, and many varied interests.
I do paint, and in fact I shall show some of my paint jobs and thus it may explain why I like prepaints. These painted models are FAR inferior to the main boxed set paint apps on AT 43 figures and most took me anywhere between 2-6 HOURS to paint when AT 43 boxes give me a fully painted vehicle or unit right out of the box. All I need to do is add flock!
While not god awful, they are in general all mediocre at best.
That's time I could be spending doing more important things like.. masturbating. Or chasing women so they can replace spankin it with something more fulfilling on every level.
I DO appreciate people who can paint up a storm and shit, but I play wargames to.. PLAY THE GAME, not the art project part.
Plus if I am to assemble models I would rather put some of these bitches together (most of which hardly even NEED paint to look at least decent.)
A couple overpriced toy soldiers, or the motherfucking MAZINGER? I'd rather assemble the latter.
(And to answer any questions: No I am not selling any of you the models. They are mine, mine I tell you!)
Now I suppose I should show what my gametable room looks like in action right?
I also have lots of Heroscape terrain, another blue sheet for naval combats, and a nice Hotz Mats space map for those outer space shenanigans.
But as to everyone saying AT 43 sucks? Well, have you PLAYED IT? What makes it suck compared to 40K? What makes 40K so good?
The following people in fact like AT43: Me, Drew, Roy, Mike, Jay, Tunde, Cook guy, clerk at comic shop, other dude from comic shop. That's just people I know and talk to.
But let's see what the scores are on Boardgamegeek?
6.83 out of 10 for 5th ed 40K. (311 ratings)
6.41 for 4th.
6.11 for 3rd ed.
6.52 for Rogue Trader.
So a 22 year old game with 5 editions and its best score is 6.83.
AT 43, in its FIRST edition with 329 ratings?
7.14.
So not only does it NOT SUCK and everyone says it does, but it outscores EVERY EDITION OF 40K.
That dick in your mouth? Those balls on your chin?
THAT'S REAL.
You my bitch now.
And I play 40K, in fact I do so nearly every week. I enjoy it. But by NO means is it the best minis ruleset, or is the GW style of build and paint the only way to play with toy soldiers.
I have been playing 40K since 93-94 with 2nd edition. I currently have Blood Angels (Pre Heresy World Eaters), Tyranids, Imperial Guard (Using AT 43 Red Blok), Chaos Space Marines, and Eldar forces. I just sold off my Tau and Ork armies.
I had my first 40K book in 91 with Rogue Trader. I remember it clearly as I got it right around the same time Terminator 2 was in theaters. I was 17. I didn't start playing till later when I found a friend who was into it and it got me to take the plunge on the 2nd ed box set. I still have some of the marines as my Chaos Veterans.
My oldest 40K models include a beakie Techmarine, the original Chaos Dreadnought, the RT era Imperial Dreadnought, Chaos Squats, and RTB 01 plastic Beakies with the old plastic Chaos Backpacks. I also have a Blood Slaughterer, 2 Armorcast Tempest Grav Tanks, the Cannon of Khorne, and the Cauldron of Blood (of Khorne.)
My miniatures game collection includes (Of various levels of stuff): Every edition of 40K including nearly every RT book except for Astronomican and Vehicle Manual, Titan Legions, Epic 40K, Warhammer Fantasy 3,5, 6, and 7, Necromunda, Blood Bowl, Gorkamorka, Warzone 2nd ed, Clan Wars, Battletech, Silent Death, Chainmail, Field of Glory, Arcane Legions, Uncharted Seas, Heroscape, Heroclix, Horrorclix, Renegade Legion Leviathan & Centurion, AD&D Battlesystem 2, D&D Swords & Spells, Lord of the Rings, Starship Troopers, Warlord, D&D Miniatures, Star Wars Miniatures (WEG and WOTC CMG), Mechwarrior Dark Age, Mage Knight, Federation Commander, AT 43, Confrontation Ragnarok, Mekton 2, Warmachine, and whatever name that Hero Games mecha RPG/minis game was.
And if we add in more boargame and hex n chit games that use minis I have many more.
And I absolutely LOVE AT 43. Its quite possibly my favorite miniatures game.
Unlike your poor pathetic sorry ass I have an open mind and aren't a raging fantard over a consumer product. If you are so elite, make up a 40K thread showing your models, your gametable, your battle reports.
I'll even throw in a couple of my 40K comics.
Oh yeah, I also have full ops in a 30+ person 40K IRC channel. We talk about other games all the time. Hell, one of the other ops folks even changed the title recently to say we should all play other games given how GW fucked over the Blood Bowl Living Rulesbook fan writer who spent YEARS supporting a game GW let lay fallow.
Im sure we would love to hear how every other game is crappy other than your beloved 40K. The Firestorm Armada fanbase will have a field day with you. The Warmachine guys will too.
You know what's really shocking?
MOST OF US PLAY MULTIPLE MINIS GAMES.
Because unlike you, we are not all raging fucktards.
Thanks for this funfilled attempt at trolling though. Has given me some fun proving you wrong. Plus good content for my blog, once I clean up my language, change a few links to what Blogspot likes for pictures, and add in a little detail for the non RPGsite readers.
I'm thinking of titling it: 'Fun with Fanboys'.
