Good morning! Another glorious day in the Corps…

@oriskany – I wouldn’t expect you any other way! 50pts. Hope you have been having a nice rest too.

1. My book was about everyday vehicles and it was little poems about each vehicles. ‘Tootles the Taxi’. I never drew in books and would panic if anyone picked-up any of them. I have a collection of ‘Beano’ & ‘Dandy’ annuals from 1973 to 1985. I got them every year and still have them!

My grandfather would buy me Airfix sets that would have French Foreign Legion soldiers in a Fort with Arabs attacking them. They were awesome. Did the GoN set have trench-lines – it was almost a diorama? There was a massive ‘Waterloo’ set (when I was about 7 or so), but you could never get it. At least that was what I was told…

2. Game bargains are always awesome. 100pts. You really have a thing for that game.

3. Oh, you mean 40Gay? If only fighting in a real war was like that! 100pts. I am definatley a one-to-one guy. I never liked the idea of 2 models = 37 men (unless you charge and it counts as 44) and distances vary depending on what you do…logical rules. I have read some honkers over the years too.

Your option ‘c’ is the best advice for any new player of anything. When I first read through FoF and came to the reaction part I thought, “No chance!” However, play it through with a few minis and it makes total sense. 100pts.

@biggabum – Glad to hear it. Heather is on her summer holidays and is destroying the house bit-by-bit. She will get to me soon…

Jamie finished his course, but isn’t going to practice law. He cannot stand the people or the way they behave. You have to join ‘societies’ to get anywhere and Jamie is not into that crap. He is thinking about SO19 and with a law degree they offer accelerated promotion. He is helping to run a car business for two brothers that race cars and it is good for him. Eve was invited to Buckingham Palace to have dinner with Prince Charles because of a cancer charity ‘thing’ she set-up at work. Eve and Ernie bought a house, got a Pug, then another, and are getting married 2nd May 2020. Just boring stuff.

Heather is learning to drive, as is the boy, and I am still limping about. However, now I have Puggies to go with me.

I have your water-tower! (or a very similar one – is it TTCombat?) I like the big thing with the cow-catcher on the front. Nasty. 100pts.

Good luck!

@mecha82 – Oh, really? I know different. 30pts and 30pos.

I always loved Nurgle! 100pts. By the time we stopped playing I had just over 16000pts of Chaos. They have changed the look quite a bit recently, but I still have a place in my heart for Nurgle. Iron Warriors too.

I look forward to seeing them. 50pts as a bribe.

Everyone has 10 things being built at once…I think you are supposed to. 20pts. I can see 6 without moving my eyes!

1. I loved the original TMNT comics. We also used to play the RPG back in 1986(?) First time we rolled characters Steve got a Budgie! He stomped out because we couldn’t stop laughing.

I must have built almost as many Bf-109’s than the Germans did. 100pts. I dread to think how much space would be needed if I kept ever single model I ever build as a child.

One of my favourites has to be the F-4. You can give it so many bombs and missiles…Hasagawa rule.

2. Gaming bargains are better than a cheaper couch! 100pts. My neighbour came over (last year sometime) and she had been to a house clearing looking for furniture to renovate and brought me some stuff that was being thrown away. A brand new Wacoshop figure case, a Battlefront river set still in the box, and a bag with 5-6 boxes of flock.

3. “As some one who plays 40k it’s clear that I don’t care about things like realism or accuracy.” – 1000pts. I went along until it got really silly as I loved the minis.

The ‘complex vs. simple’ argument will always exist. I did find my perfect set of rules with Force-on-Force. That really gives you everything and is easy to learn. 50pts. I have tried the complicated (Harpoon) and the easy (Space Hulk) and I know which one I played for years. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. 100pts.

Sabaton might be a bit harsh for me this morning. Maybe after lunch! 30pts. I have been listening to ‘Crawling Chaos’ by Autism. Very atmospheric.

@ceppie – they are very nasty looking, but I love the “crossbow”. 100pts. Never heard of the company…I will have to have a look. Dave buys these stunning Minotaurs from a company called Avatars of War. They make some really nice stuff!

@horati0nosebl0wer – and a good morning to you! Nice mini, but those are fake titties! 100pts. My dad would love that. The ‘snake’ bit is awesome. Very striking colours. I am terrible with colours. Dave tried to teach me colour theory, but I just don’t get it.

A really nice base too.

Whatever gets you going! If it works – do it. 50pts. Sometimes it takes me a while to get going…

1. Bad luck. -100pts. I never moved until I was 18. I have a few things I will never part with, but they are not huge. End up anywhere interesting?

2. MAS are awesome. 100pts for such a good choice. We bought one of their £500 deals and they set us heaps of free stuff. Such nice people to deal with too.

3. Oh, so you play 40Gay too? Too many FAQ’s is bad news. One of the reasons I don’t like FoW is all the books and supplimental stuff. They change one line in the rules and your 2000pt army is useless!

GURPS was awesome. 100pts. Great game system.

Glad you decided to join us.
