Sherbert, in celebration of our upcoming battle, I give you this: http://gawker.com/later-today-at-taylors-desk-1518205375/@burtreynoldsismyspiritguide1 Who else is doing what?

Wow, desert dark elfs is a neat idea I haven't seen before! I would love to have those guys tangle with my lizards for a real fluff-driven battle. They look great, and I look forward to seeing the army.

I would disagree with you on that. If your employer is losing sales to illegal recasters, they are going to have a less healthy balance sheet and you as an artist are going to be in a weaker position for negotiating anything to do with your job. Conversely, if your work commands top-price at retail, and the company is healthy, chances of you getting that cost of living adjustment are a lot higher when the boss can't counter with "Sorry, we're all hurting what with the sales we're losing to Chinese rip-offs". But whatever, it's all speculative. If you can honestly say that you would have no problem with someone taking something you had worked hard on (for your employer or for yourself), copying it, and selling it for their own profit, then yeah, you should have no problem buying from a recaster. It's all very personal, really. I've had something I worked hard on at my work ripped off before. Did it affect my paycheck? No. Did I resent the hell out of the folks who took about 4 months of working overtime 6-7 days a week, covered up our logo and contact info, and reissued as their own? You bet! I have a suspicion that most other creative types are like that. YMMV. (Ok Munkie, now I have probably thoroughly derailed this!)

Well, I wouldn't buy something I have no interest in for myself.... ;) Sophist. :P

That house looks really nice - the stone textures and the windows are great, and nice original flourishes with the iron banding. Are you going to carve a recess for the door or will it sit raised on the outside of the wall texture like that?

YOU belong in warpspace and I like YOUR Chibi Marine! There's a real simple test for something you find in a "grey area" : would you be cool if a random stranger was doing it to you? Or a friend of yours? The golden rule won't let you down, one way or another.

Awesome, guys. Sadly, will not be out due to having had the flu all week. Gonna go home after work and get my jammies on!

My wife's gonna be busy, but I might be able to swing it.

This website is registered in Hong Kong, so yeah, these guys are most likely recasters acting with impunity due to their location. So Paxmiles, the site is probably illegal but they just don't care because, hey, China. As much as I dislike GW practices these days, I dislike stealing the work of other artists and making a profit off of it even more.

Don't worry, Joey, I got enuf luvvin for both yo threads... mmmhmmm...

I would be up for a game of Infinity since I'm missing game night tonight. 1ish?

Sweet. Just to confirm, the TG are the original edition with the halberds and round, non-scaly shields, like these guys: http://thumbs1.ebaystatic.com/d/l225/m/m-VjbA4YePyHc2x6Ype8hVQ.jpg Are they painted? Do they have the plastic shields? Is Kroak painted? I could use 10 of the TG and Kroak. I'll PM you an offer.

Hi Guys, looking for the following: 5th Ed. Temple Guard - 4 or more 5th Ed Metal Saurus - Any number 5th Ed. Metal Skinks w/ Javelins - 6 or more Tik'tac'toe - Metal Lord Kroak - Metal If you've got any of that stuff, I'd be happy to make an offer depending on quantity and condition. Thanks!

I'm playing Nathaniel with Lizards - hooray! First fantasy game of 2014. Andy, I'll have your magnets for ya.

Brad and Andy, I'll bring your magnets on Tuesday. Everyone else should have gotten them on Saturday during the Apox.

I'll stop by and say 'hi' but I've got to work on a project tomorrow so no games for me.

That's what I'm talking about! The fact that his album is about Moby Dick, my favorite book of all time, makes it ten times more metal.

Everyday music is on my way to work, so sometimes I step in there, but usually nothing calls out to me. Today, there was both Mastodon and Holst in the new arrivals! I picked up Leviathan and The Planets for $10. Leviathan is a sweet album, and the production on the cd with all the artwork on the jacket, insert, and even the disk itself is really nice.

I work till 6, so no dice, but I'll hang out and heckle you two.

Yep. It's not a David Lynch movie, but it if you liked the way things got slowly weirder in his earlier films, you'll like the pacing of this.

I also wondered how he kept going from about to die to totally kicking ass... I mean, strength is one thing, radiation poisoning so bad your organs are failing is another... and it won't really be helped by an exosuit... Saw Resolution last night - a solid 8 or maybe even 9 out of ten. A very creepy story that took it's time and genuinely surprised me. A good bet for fans of David Lynch.

Someone already demonstrated how to win against Taudar/Eltau: http://www.frontlinegaming.org/2014/01/11/warhammer-40k-video-bat-rep-new-tyranids-vs-eldau/ Summary: Go first, take extra points, cheat and select the best psychic powers, and have your opponent deploy everything in one clump in the middle of the board with his tanks facing backwards.

I lied about the double check! ORDER PLACED! The cool thing is since we all bought the same pack, the price went down a dollar each. Shipping is an extra $2 each, so it's a cool $15 from everyone but Munkie, who owes $22. Thanks guys, that's a lot more palatable when we spread it out.

You got it! I'll put it all together and then post for you to double check before I submit it.

Hey, you should talk to Nathaniel about it. He was asking if I would be interested in running a board game night for the shop, but I'm tied up at work for the next few months. He would like to have someone organize such a thing.
