  1. lol I actually choose not to participate in another forum's Painting Challenges because the consensus over there has been to include 2 paragraphs of fluff with the entry. I have never been interested in writing fluff. Oh, and I was referring to Beau's list as both a Hard list and a Fluffy list. Actually, that list is a prime example of why I think there shouldn't be restrictions at OFCC. I think my List was something to the effect of Chapter Master+Chappy+8 Man Command Squad twin Meltas in Pod 2x 7 Initiate/3 Neophyte in Pod 14 men + Emp Champ in a LRC 12 Men in a LRC 2x Dread (don't recall if they were in pods or not)
  2. I do not agree with it bringing balance to the forces. I think it would do more harm. Especially on Harder lists. I've only attended one event. I believe I have the order right. 1: vs Ultramarines 2: vs Tank Guard 3: vs Dark Angels 4: vs Guard/Daemonhunters (I don't think GK was out yet) 5: vs Guard - Game 1 was great! I'm pretty sure I lost. - Game 2 was stupid. Like pack my army, because he had something like 10 tanks on the table and I could do absolutely nothing about it. "You have the best chances," said Derek. "I have 4 Melta Guns," I replied. It was a very frustrating game, not because of Beau, but because of his list compared to my tools. Needless to say he tabled me. I think I /may/ have had half a tank and a handful of Templar left on table at the end. - Game 3 vs Deathwing army was fun. I don't think it was a Deffwing, but I recall the other player talking about his Deffwing. I won this one. - Game 4 was [big bad swear word]ed up. As far as I'm concerned, the guy deliberately cheated. He quite literally told me, when I called him out on not rolling for a unit falling back for 2 turns, that it was out of sequence and I didn't call him on it at the appropriate time, ergo he wasn't going to roll for them. This won him the game. The dishonest behavior ran far deeper than that during the game, but I felt like I was the New Guy in the room, and from a region that hasn't been well represented at OFCC, so I didn't feel it was my place to say anything at the time to organizers, let alone coming off as "Nuh-uh, you only won cuz you cheated, I should've won." I don't give two [big bad swear word]s about winning. I'm not "one of the best players" in the region. I'm not "one of the best players" in my LGS, either. My problem was that he cheated. - Game 5 didn't start out too pleasant in game. Opponent destroyed my LRC on turn 1, and took out half the contents in the explosion. My Pods came in on turn two and started eating his face. He didn't know Templar ran at you when wounded, and so I started eating the crap out of him, and denied his Horsemen with the exploding sticks from charging me. The hard part for both of us came at the end. We were discussing WHEN ATSKNF kicked in and IF the lone Neophyte remaining from the LRC (the rest kept eating LR or Artillery shells) regrouped or not. It was while I was explaining to him that I believed it happened at the beginning of my turn, and that my Lone Neophyte, being that he didn't have anyone within almost 30", would regroup because ATSKNF regardless of being below half unit strength when Judges called Time. I won, because my Neophyte regrouped. He would've won, otherwise. It was a close game, a fun game, overall. I felt bad for him. I know going into the game I was still pissy over what happened with the DH player, and to have my Tanks blown up faster than the game against Necrontyr was a complete "you've gotta be kidding me, right now" moment. Out of the lists I faced, Necrontyr's was the only list I faced that I felt was "Too Hard" for what I was told OFCC was about. To the same point, I want to see "Fluffy" armies. I want to see non-standard armies. I want to know that I could bring a FW model that I spent way too much money on that I can't use in local scene outside of fun pick up games. Because isn't that what they are supposed to be, 5 fun games against great opponents? That said, there were a couple teams who's lists every year I've seen them make me go "Really? WTF? Why is it THEY are allowed to get away with this?" And as I understand it, in recent years the "PRIZES" are raffled out instead of going to "Best Gen" or "Best Overall" or "Best Painted" or whatever. I think, Prizes should be raffled out. All of them. I don't think there should be a list rating committee. I don't think there should be a structure beyond "2000 point list, painted to a 3 color minimum+basing." The focus should be playing to have fun, not trying to game the system for prizes. Nor should anyone feel their list is being excluded when "Well, my local meta is..." or "I've been playing this list since before it was OP" or whatever the case may be. Or maybe I never understood what OFCC was about.
  3. That'd be pretty sweet. Cybernetic Humanoids with shimmering shields experimenting with reverse engineered Tau Stealthsuits.
  4. File Shared Scanned PDF with bookmarks or it didn't happen. The new bases are interesting, and I wonder if they are in part a way to help combat knock off models. Now that they're doing "true scale" bases, maybe they'll do True Scale Marines. Am I turning Blue yet?
  5. Yeah, Romans, no need to be sorry! Stop apologizing before we whip out the beat stick! Just watched the trailer. Hell ya! I'm excited for this! The camp and conspiracy is just too fantastic!
  6. Wait, shouldn't the title of the thread be Iron Sky 2? I thought this was about the First one, which is friggin awesome, and I'm positive we have a thread about. But that trailer seems to be about IS2?! I can't watch it right now, but...
  7. I'm pretty sure that's how all GKs were painted back in C DH
  8. DS: Dataslate afaik Damn, I was hoping the 25th was going to be Codex: World Eaters
  9. I saw it at the LGS a couple weeks ago. I'd be interested in watching some demo vids on youtube of it. I'm not sure if it's something I'd play. Between 40k and X-wing, I stretch myself thin as it is. If the kiddo asked for it, then I might redirect funds.
  10. wow, Wash was messed up on something. Can't decide if he's high or drunk or both. Looks like it could be a fun drinking game or family game.
  11. A very merry unbirthday to the rest of the Senate!
  12. No leaks of the complete list? I thought when we got Cypher, the list was leaked like a month before.
  13. Maybe some day Pabst and Coors will stop being purchased. I'm not going to hold my breath.
  14. Arrow 4 out of 5 I saw a couple episodes in passing in the past year that had left me unimpressed, mostly due to bad acting. Well, I decided to give it a shot from the beginning. The First Season was getting too Cowls of our Lives for me. The Second Season has had a lot more action and a lot less soap opera. I almost dropped it during the first season, because the acting and the Daytime Soap feel. I'm glad I didn't. I don't feel Season Two is awesome, but everyone is growing into their characters very well. I'm looking forward to Season 3 as a result. I'm hoping this continues to develop, much like Next Gen, the first couple seasons being a bit of a struggle and then reaching it's stride. I've never read Green Arrow comics, so it is all new to me. I've been enjoying it overall. It's a series I'd watch again in the future.
  15. I haven't seen Frozen, but grand none-the-less.
  16. Looks like BA's getting Termie Command Squads.
  17. Thanks, pretre. I laughed hard.
  18. I'm looking forward to taking my then to be 11 year old son to experience a new Star Wars together.
