    If the guy's being a controlling douche, then stop giving him money and time. It's that simple. Every time you give him money or attend his events, you're telling him that you approve of what he's...

    They may be a mono-build right now, but it's one heck of a competitive mono-build. The Sisters players I know would be very happy just getting everything re-costed to match the vehicle/equipment...

    Any cursory examination of the data and methodology changes over time will expose fraud for political gain. I'm not intimately...

    You're also forgetting that GW's entire North American profit in 2008 was around $50K. Or that they borrowed themselves blind even when LOTR sales...

    This sounds exactly like me.

    I've dropped over $1500 into my Guard army over the last 2.5 years, but I can't afford to do that again. My Blood Angels army, by contrast, cost me just a bit over...

    Slowdowns (or more properly, recessions) don't excuse bad business decisions. If the economy is down, then a business had better not be raising prices. In fact it had better find a way to lower them...

    Banshees seem to be costed about right for a unit that will kill just about anything in combat and then be vulnerable to return fire.

    It's also about blocking their movement and delaying them. Fast moving Hellhounds are a great way of delaying an Ork Hoard. The tank is too dangerous to let live, yet it will take at least 2 turns of...

    If you put them in Chimeras w/2 x Meltas (160 pts) things get more interesting. You can still deep-strike them if you wish, but you can also do a first turn scout rush and get short range melta love...

    Don't start with bronze, start with a neutral dark-orange instead. Then hit it with multiple washes of devlin mud, followed by some careful application of black ink in the darkest areas.

    I took that into account. My initial test runs were 100 attack rolls each, resulting in variations of 15% or more. So I just kept adding zeros until the variations between tests were less than 1%....
