Funny .......well that response took a while to get! Funny thing is that we have since played and I thought you were alright and gave me a fun challenge. It was a memorable game. In fact I would have no problem playing with you again. So long as my guys remember to bring their fire retardant suits!

I want to be someone everyone wants to play. I love playing warhammer. It has never been a mathahmmer thing. I look at what looks fun and if I ever do math, it is only ever after I chose what to play and only in the most dire situations of being bored. (I did math in my college problems and statistics and haven't done so since). I am a gamer. In all honest, I dont want to win. A game where everything goes exactly as planned is one that no stories come from and no one really remembers for being fun most of the time. I like games where I am in a desperate struggle to even survive. It is why I have never played any marine armies. It is why I stopped playing the really defensive necrons all together. I really just want to have fun on the table top. I don't want to be gamey or cheesey or anything bad. I just want to play and be someone fun to play against.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3579848619475400584.post-83637820826036468962013-02-14T10:05:52.259-05:002013-02-14T10:05:52.259-05:00It was a good question that deserved an answer, ev...It was a good question that deserved an answer, even if it didn't end up being his.Kushialhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01132990078795221154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3579848619475400584.post-4523591456750294312013-02-13T22:49:47.792-05:002013-02-13T22:49:47.792-05:00Thanks Kushal, he either didn't read it or did...Thanks Kushal, he either didn't read it or didn't like what i had to say.

Unfortunately he hasn't posted one. Therefor I will.<br /><br />I play warhammer 40K not just because I enjoy the fluff and the building of the models (the painting I don't enjoy so much), but because I also like to create and forge my army's place in the overall scheme of the game and world. I've never wanted to play Ultramarines or White Scars or Crimson Fists because they all had a well established background. My marine chapter was something I could fully create within the world that was totally mine.<br /><br />Heck, I've got ideas for backgrounds and such for armies I've no desire to play or own, but the kernel of the idea is still there floating around, just in case someday. This is a hobby where I don't only get to get out and socialize, enjoy a fun game after a good meal with interesting conversation (or at least a good Screech ribbing), but one where I get to apply my creative side to make something wholly mine in a grim dark future where what I created is out holding back the dark.<br /><br />Anyway, that's why I play.<br /><br />KushialKushialhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01132990078795221154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3579848619475400584.post-16641016168151473462013-02-04T23:42:03.787-05:002013-02-04T23:42:03.787-05:00Edwin, no we've never played. Which might expl...Edwin, no we've never played. Which might explain why I alone don't have a vendetta against you (kidding!). But really, I would be open to this, on a condition: And I want you to think about this: I play Warhammer 40,000. I do not play Mathhammer 40,000. I play armies because first and foremost, I am a collector. I enjoy the hobby of collecting, painting, and building these little guys. I pour a lot of time and love into these things, and yes, I enjoy the game a lot as well, but my armies are built around having different units, and diversity. I would never build a list like that Eldar army you did, because it's boring to me. I would want to play around with more Aspects. Heck, I would purposely avoid building a 'net' list as I like to build semi-unique lists. I don't play to win for winnings sake; I play with the mindset that I am participating in a small-scale reinactment of a battle taking place far away and far 'a-when'. So, I will play you, and if you would like me to step it up and try to make the list a bit beefier than normal, I can. So what is the condition? You simply need to comprehend why people like Corey, Screech, Rob and I play this game. Sure, yeah, we play 'to win' that is the point of these games after all, but focus on WHY we play at all. I see you posting on other blogs and your own, and I see that you are trying to find your niche as a 40k gamer, both locally and in the online 40k community and I am all for you doing that if you can evolve into a player people can look forward to playing with. I think you can do it, and still be competitive. So, answer me this: why do you like Warhammer 40,000?nevernesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07722163860443469429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3579848619475400584.post-8999120174479804512013-02-04T14:48:25.426-05:002013-02-04T14:48:25.426-05:00Its fluffy for my lone Aspiring Sorcerer to hide. ...Its fluffy for my lone Aspiring Sorcerer to hide. He can't carry out Lord Ahriman's plans (or be executed later) if he is dead, now can he?<br /><br />Also, for the record, I was running a squad of Chosen with the Mark of Khorne, not Khorne Berserkers. Granted, only 1 model in the squad wasn't carrying an icon or special weapon of a type, so the end result was probably the same.HappySpawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07161303337832856502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3579848619475400584.post-43943890003166334492013-02-04T00:23:14.114-05:002013-02-04T00:23:14.114-05:00The army looks good.

I can't remember, but having played in the same place as you for nearly 4 years, it would seem a stretch to have never played you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3579848619475400584.post-20957002381128740732013-02-03T16:08:58.599-05:002013-02-03T16:08:58.599-05:00'Evil cowers in any shadow it can find...'...'Evil cowers in any shadow it can find...'<br /><br />lol, indeed it does!Da Masta Cheefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05941441877537371502noreply@blogger.com
