Spam is just a sign the codex in question has good choices and bad choices. Balance the game and spam mostly dissipates.

I just don't get why they called it a tournament, but that's just me.

Chicago's a bit more than 6 hours away. Besides Astronomi-con allowed unpainted minis (thus spawning the "don't want to play in a tournament to play against unpainted crap" line I mentioned...

Bring a couple bare pewter minis and wave them around, it usually clears the room if you've got a douchebag infestation. ;)

Chris : Have you considered a trip up to Adepticon? Its a bit of a haul from down here but it fits your "everything must be painted" to a T.



Its you, you're what is wrong with the hobby.

Arguing rules is part of the hobby but I can never seem to get anyone into my organized rules debates. Maybe I'll add rules debating as a soft score!

Did you miss the part where I was paraphrasing from a local mailing list? I've fielded everything from the gamut of fully unpainted to fully painted, and upon seeing that I almost considered...

I just want to go to a tournament where people all bring legal armies and know the rules. So far this has happened maybe once in Warhammer / 40k.

Also I think the thing 40k is missing is a...

Never forget you have a terrible hobby.

I like that Shadow in the Warp is now worse than Psychic Hoods for no apparent reason.

GW is basically the most inept company at writing rules and its kinda hilarious.

Yea but given the trukk and battlewagon are (game issues aside) some of the best ork model's GW's put out to date who wouldn't want them? My point still stands that they unilaterally ruled in favor...

GW changes rules unilaterally to favor mech because vehicles are expensive in $$.

Should we be surprised by this anymore?

The hobby is built on the pillars of building lists, playing the game and arguing about rules. If GW didn't intend for these to be the relevant pillars of the game they wouldn't have setup the game...

Never forget you have a terrible hobby.

Nope. I will continue to sit here and play this game just because it bothers you that ******* much.

Seriously. Get over yourself.



I actually would rather have an opponent that had an...

I usually do unless I run into



That guy.

Honestly given how comically imbalanced 40k gets above 2000 or 2250 or so I'm kinda intrigued that they continue to play games that big but I guess its just further proof that GW doesn't really care...

Yep, its a binary log to tell you how many rounds you'd need. For a 32 person tourney you'd need 5 rounds. Is that so unreasonable?

Have you tried running a simple 1-0 scoring system? 1 point for a win, 0 points otherwise, pair based on Strength of Schedule (sum of opponent's scores).

So to confirm the sighitngs here, heroes and lords share a 25% of your max point "pool" of sorts?

If so rip my Lizardmen :(

I chose a hobby where I move little plastic or metal mans around a board and argue about rules personally. Apparently I also chose a hobby full of holier-than-thou people based on their tolerance of...

To be fair Bean you have a history of bringing out the worst in people :p. But seriously my point was more sportsmanship scores don't really garuntee good sportsmanship but instead promotes...

I've been playing miniatures games for about 6 years now and have played in dozens of tournies in at least 4 states, including everything from 8 people showing up at the store to top-8ing in a 100+...

See, this is where I tune out. Anytime you authoritatively say what is and isn't part of "the hobby" I want to crap all over my thread like I did with the other one with arbitrary categorizations as...
