Here's what you say to a kid messing with your figures....

"One finger only"

It works.

First!

I'm not going to respond to every point, because there's a lot there. However, you might improve the article by adding some 'history' of the hobby.

For example, 15mm is a common and...

Yeah I smell inconsistency here. The GW store near me has a Bloodbowl league on Sundays.

So that entire section from 151 - 477 can be removed, along with the introduction? And I'll keep the index in the back as well.

I am going to take my new 8th ed. rulebook to Kinko's to have the spine chopped off and then get it spiral bound. It's my intention to only put the necessary pages in and leave out the fluff.

It...

I might make a trip, Chris.

On another subject - I'm done responding to PMs on this. Post it here if you want to say it to me. I wrote this as a PM, but am posting it here instead...

It...

I'm not wrong. There's a reason GW sells paint with "Their hobby"....

The figures are supposed to be painted. You might choose not to, but that doesn't change the fact that the hobby is about...

Take a look at this guy....

He's disabled, can't see well, and his hand shakes so bad he can barely sign a check. He has to scoop his...

Games Workshop doesn't get to define what the hobby of miniatures wargaming is about. This hobby existed long before them and certainly includes much more than their harem of games.

"If you don't paint your miniatures, you're a racist bigot."

Hmm....somehow that isn't really the same message.

Wait a minute...you're changing the rules!

I store my miniatures in cut down copier paper boxes lined with sheet metal. The figures have adhesive sheet magnet glued to their bases and they stay put. These boxes are cheap, easy to store,...

I did that ONCE....

You've never had a chance to use KY, have ya?

You are wrong.

I know this because of my involvement in the hobby (at many levels) and tell you that the key to 'recruiting' new blood is to game with painted armies.

Because that's what the...

The current White Dwarf WD366 has "A Tale of Four Gamers" on page 17....with a reference to look it up on the website. But it's not there.

So I called Customer Service and they verified that,...

That's an interesting point about 'allow'....

My gaming philosophy is this: You play your army, and I'll play mine.

That means YOU move your troops using whatever rules you feel are...

Yeah, I thought about that....driving away the very people who's opinions I'm ultimately hoping to change. But there's only a few of the 'hateful' types and they are on my ignore list, so no worries!

Thanks for the comments kline...and I hope you end up enjoying the hobby as much as I have.

Just checkin' in on my peeps....how's that painting going?

That's weird, because the EDG (Elitist Douchebag Guild) avoid tournaments too.... Hah! Maybe it's safe for us to go back?

I agree that it's a great hobby magazing.

$10 is a bit steep for me...I only buy the ones that interest me (generally if it has orks in it!)

Store owners tend to bend to the whiney 'unpainted' crowd under the mistake concept that they don't want to run off customers. Unfortunately, it actually drives away business. If the gaming tables...
