What's Going on Fellas?

Place has been a little quiet lately! What are people playing these days? I ran this list a few days ago against my friend Mark's Tau:

HQ
Daemon Prince w. Wings, Mark of Nurgle, Warptime 175
Daemon Prince w. Wings, Mark of Nurgle, Warptime 175
Greater Daemon 100

Troops
5 Plague Marines w. 2 Meltaguns, Aspiring Champion w. Powerfist,
Personal Icon 180
Chaos Rhino w. Combi-Melta 45
5 Plague Marines w. 2 Meltaguns, Aspiring Champion w. Powerfist,
Personal Icon 180
Chaos Rhino w. Combi-Melta 45
8 Chaos Marines w. Flamer, Icon of Chaos Glory, Aspiring Champion 150
Chaos Rhino w. Combi-Melta 45
8 Lesser Daemons 104

Heavy Support
2 Obliterators 150
2 Obliterators 150

Total: 1499 Points

It's a fun list to play. But all of the high toughness guys are expensive and easy prey against Dark Eldar. Venoms laugh at high toughness units. Therefore I don't think this would be a viable tournament list. Against Mark's Tau I had some good luck with deepstrikes (nothing of mine came on turn 2!) and was able to cripple his army on turn 3 with multiple charges and 2 obliterators twin-linked flaming some kroot. If anyone wants to throw down against the CSM and you don't play DE let me know

Id be down for a Khorne Chaos Marines vs Nurgle Chaos Marines

Your guys will definetly be tougher, but I will have numbers over you.

I can do Saturday 12 or 1pm, or sometime next week

Rider Game is Saturday. Maybe next week if you promise not to throw any of your models at my models.

Lol, Ill be more civil with tossing my daemons into combat next time.

But next week is no good for me, buisy with school.

Yes, I understand.

Yes, I just said it was a Rider game. Why the shouting? Well, someone help them stand up then? Kent Austin? It probably wouldn't be that interesting.

Oh I hope you weren't dis'en my boy Austin.... lol I was in the haybine lessening to the first quarter.... ouch, had to turn the station to the cbc. And this was only Hamilton, can't wait for Montreal to show them what a real football club looks like. And no I wasn't yelling, just wanted to show some expression.

Tossing models is never cool.. especially at others peoples models.. Im really hoping that was a joke.

God damn Hamilton. They screw me over in the pool every single week.. I can never figure out what they hell they're gonna do. Hey, I like the riders asmuch as the next guy, but I had to turn off the game today.. it was a tough one to watch.

Actually Robyn, that's a true story. I'll tell you about that experience sometime.

@James Hey, I'm not the guy who spelled his surname wrong.

His Guardians were all in the crater from their waveserpent, so rather than deal with awkward placement on a non-flat crater, I sorta just dropped a mass of 8 bloodletters onto the guardians

Bad form dude, bad form indeed.

Tim are you a teacher by any chance. Wow you must really hate bad spelling. lol

I only know one language. Therefore I want to speak and write it well. I don't think that's unreasonable. I find the laissez-faire attitude some have towards their command of the mother tongue disheartening. An accidental typo is understandable. Serial mispellings and bad grammar are indicators of _________, and possibly _________.

ya tim ya sound like my grade 9 English teacher. even when you add the mad libs at the end.

That's fine with me. I'm completely comfortable with being a crotchety old man. And I don't give a crap how people who can or cannot spell percieve me. However, you are the ones who have to use English for the rest of your lives. Don't lose hope. Language can be practiced and improved, just like playing 40K. However like in 40K, if you only ever play against players who are your skill level or lower you will never improve.

lol, wow, that hurt to read but was amusing to translate.

Tom, that truly, truly saddened me. I really hope you put that through some sort of filter and didn't type it out yourself...

Hehe, agreed!

lol ya Ryan I just looked up an auto translate, I wouldn't want to put that much effort into making fun of Tim, Dom and James all in one awesome post.

Fish in a barrel my friend, fish in a barrel.

And I have no way of figuring that out. But now that it is somewhat about me I think i might get the secretary to look it up. Just a thought tho I wonder who won the game this week???? OMG I just looked it up... I think the riders won.... excuse me I have to go change my pants now...

"I Want to get better at 40k Tim, teach me the ways of the masters. Also, some English lessons could help, in fact if we could work that into the 40k lesson it would probably greatly improve my learning experience. I, however, don't need to speech perfect english as I feel that knowing words in ig languages excuses me from needing to know any of them effectively. I'm sure you understand the dangers of becoming too specialised in any one area."
