Well, all in all an interesting week here on planet BOLS. Two topics of electronic conversation have been fairly dominant, can you guess which ones?
Lord Azaghuls "Why are 40k players hatings on Paintings scores?" thread developed into a mêlée between those that can and do and those that cant and don't.
Mel summed up the game in one paragraph:
The hobby is about this army of giant douchebags in powered armor running about killing greenskinned mushroom men, while space elves with shuriken-throwing guns run about being emo about their lost race, and the great masses of humanity point flashlights at everyone and yell "boo" to distract from their tanks firing far deadlier ordnance at the "I'm angry at my dad" douchebags and six-breasted daemons out of hell itself. The terminator wannabe army of zombie skeletal robots kills everyone they see, a BDSM variant of space elves survive basically by living in a constant orgy of pain and blood, and blue-skinned space cow / space bird communists are trying to preach peace and cooperation but then get attacked by a bunch of bugs with guns along with everyone else.
And then lost her customary cool thats she so famous for:
Respond to the entire post, rather than a section of it. Strawman arguments piss me off because they are balls to the wall f***ing RETARDED.
The thread now seems to have morphed into a "My analogy is better then yours" competition. I think the best painted analogy should win
Shocking things were going on in the Fantasy Forum with the upcoming release of the 8th edition breeze block.
Stukovkh came out with this gem:
if your married with kids then you shouldn't be playing anyway
Which begs the question "Who's wife are you?" If there is a loose spouse on here we're all in trouble!
Eldergal left hundreds of our younger members in need of a very cold shower when she declared:
I am a special edition whore
Tissue manufacturers rejoiced!
No stranger to controversy I declared:
I'm not paying £50 for a set of rules!
GW immediately reduced the RRP in the UK to £45, you can all thank me later
In the Painting and modeling section Sukigod and Odinsgrandson both produced jaw droopingly fantastic offerings, but which was better? Theres only one way to find out!
Fight
Thats it for this week, see you all next time same time.
