This is a quick question that I *think* was handled correctly. I couldn't find anything concrete on the issue and we ended up playing it the way I described it as follows:

My opponent moved 24" in...

Absolutely!

Don't take my last post personally. I do think we understand each other. I think we both love this game (as a vet and a newbie) but really I just like the crowd it draws. You and I would EASILY get...

See below post!

Yours is an argument that is classic logical fallacy. You assume the following is the belief of a non-painter:

If you paint your army then you are a douchebag.

This is non sequitur.
...

Flip the coin, see the point. It's simple and just as effective of an argument though ultimately unnecessary.

NO IT DOESNT! just not to you...

We play the same game, enjoy the same lore, enjoy...

And there it is. It's really the only thing you've needed to say. Claiming this, that or the other is the right way has no bearing. Simply trying to promote all aspects of the hobby is the better...

You've crossed the line. Judging from the image you posted you are one of the two obese fellas at the table.

You apparently half-*** quite a bit yourself.

See how that feels? See how it feels...

Edit: Forget the post. You are now simply on ignore. It will make my life here far better.

Christ...


Do you think before you speak? I'm going to guess you don't, which is sad for a man your age.

I think everyone can agree that if the tournament requires a painted army that's fine. The debate (see my thread) is over the casual aspect of the game and how some pro-painters and some non-painters...

Oh, please. This is such a typical logical fallacy.

Perhaps the player buys the models with the intent to build them and then use them as visual representations of different units?

It isn't the...

You know what? You're absolutely right. I bought these models so that in the scant time I call my spare time between work, class, homework, my fiancee, and sleep I can wait 3 months to paint my...

I suppose you think the ad hominem approach is the best way to support your case for painted units but in truth you only serve to validate the opponents of this belief.

Pro-painters in this thread...

You know what works even better than a painted army? Being a generally friendly individual who has the personality to get people interested in the game.

You do not need painted models as a...

I'm at the point now where I understand that repeatedly crushing your illogical nonsense is not going to effect you. I can only be thankful there are not more players like you claiming a hobby must...

That is exactly my point. Where do players like this Lord A cultivate the idea that our time should be spent their way regardless of external factors? These are the very same externals that they can...

If you read the previous posts I stated clearly that it is my favorite aspect of the hobby. The difference between my (future) self and many of the painting elitists is that I recognize it as an...

I'm glad this generated a lot of discussion but at the end of it all I remain unconvinced of the necessity of a painted army. Arguments such as:

it's part of the hobby
they look good
its...

What is the school of thought behind this? It's insulting to me etc etc etc is what I'm reading over and over again.

My frustration comes from the arrogance of the "must be painted" crowd in its...

I had an interesting turn of RL events over these past few days. Checking back I really did not expect this thread to explode.


I simply left. There was nothing more to it and nothing more...

At work I had a few friends who were into the 40k game that enticed me with their stories of awesome tabletop battles and sweet army fluff. I heard all about space marines, orks, necrons, sisters. I...
