It means other people were trying to find it. Even our most unique searches are commonplace. :)

"I fell down some stairs..." The Police RSS feed for Portland is comedy gold sometimes. http://www.flashalert.net/news.html?id=3056#news70495 How bad at this do you have to be?

Try this site. It is in french, but I'm linking to the translated version. http://www.microsofttranslator.com/bv.aspx?from=&to=en&a=http%3A%2F%2Faide-blogger-fr.blogspot.com%2F2011%2F03%2Fblogger-feed-thumbnail-missing.html

Sales and prices updated. -
The Tau I have been anticipating have arrived. :(
pretre replied to JamesBeadle's topic in Warhammer 40,000
Probably a good precaution. :) -
Witch elves/sisters of slaughter cost?
pretre replied to a topic in Fantasy Battles (9th Age, WFB, etc.)
This bears repeating. Mostly because they did actually drop in price. It is cheaper to make a Witch unit than it was 6 months ago. :) -
Looks a bit raw right now but I'm excited to see how it shake out!

Seconded! Although, if you want to be tricky, you may not even need the bath of simple green. Freezing models works great for getting super glue apart. I have a chest freezer and you just throw them in for a day or so and then pull them out. Things come right apart. :) Lastly, I'm a fan of super clean over simple green, but whatever works! -

Also, look into submitting an insurance claim to the USPS. I was hoping you'd say Priority. It covers $50 as the default and should help cover some of the cost. If you need any help straightening stuff out let me know. -

That sucks. Make sure to get plenty of pictures of the damage and send them to him first. What shipping method did he use? -
I think Jollyork was looking to offload some eldar recently. He might be able to help you out with some of your wishlist.
-
I thought that was part of what made me endearing. :) No one is saying that anyone else is a criminal or a bad person. Just that this is modelling for advantage and not something folks should probably do.
-
Glad I have your permission. :)
-
What does any of that have to do with anything? I am not disputing your ability to use ammo runts on the Icarus. I am saying that it is poor form to use those specific models to gain an advantage over your opponent that the normal models do not give you. You can feel free to quit the thread if you like, but you can't tell me not to post in it just because you dislike my opinion.
-
Actually, I do play orks. I have a deffskull army and I use Grots and Kannons, and a quad with ADL. I don't give my grots LOS over the wall unless they have it and I don't model for advantage to provide them LOS.
-
If the grots aren't behind the ADL, then the double tall one isn't really a problem since his height doesn't gain him much advantage otherwise. And if you go on the FW site, every picture of those grots is on a vehicle or next to a vehicle mounted weapon. They are 'crew'.
-
Why even bother with Forgeworld minis? Grots aren't fluffy for my Big Guns, I'm going to have boys man them which takes care of this whole problem nicely. Then I'll use 10 of these for my objective taker squad and hide them behind practically anything.
-
These sentences are a bit dicey. Grots (from Games Workshop, the plastic kit and the former metal models) can't see over the ADL. This is a fact. The GW 'double tall grots' are a Forgeworld add-on kit for vehicles. Yes, you can use whatever model you want but when you specifically choose a model that isn't the right model and use it to gain an advantage in the game... That is, by definition, modelling for advantage. My orks:
-
They are vehicle crew: http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Warhammer-40000/Orks/ORK_INFANTRY_AND_WALKERS/GRETCHIN-CREW.html They don't even have slotta tabs, etc for bases. They are meant to be added to vehicles. I'm not saying it is an OMG game winning thing, but it is poor form to model for advantage.
-
Yeah. He is way too Dreadnought with some ork bits rolled on it.
-
That has nothing to do with the topic at hand. If your argument is so poor that you have to result to putting up strawmen, you might have a problem.
-
yeah, something weird was going on but it looks right in the code. Hmph.
-
I will say that people have a tendency to let issues slide at events for a couple of reasons. Sportsmanship/favorite opponent, timing issues and hassle. Just because you didn't get complaints, doesn't mean it wasn't a problem. Models that use different bases or have different height/LOS profiles are modeling for advantage. Whether your opponent complains or not, you are getting an advantage outside of the rules over them.

Good catch! I love my Motor Pool.
