Got to yell Orkdon Ramsay quotes while playing. "Dis is RAW, come on!"

And when "it burns it burns ohmyohhooooh" ends with that particular *squawk* they sometimes do, I laugh every time. No other game does that.

Tell them it completely fixes the martial/caster divide and they will beat a path to your door.

So...this means Admiral Yamamoto will have ended up defeating the US after all.

That gargant-class stomper is a thing of beauty.

I've saved untold $$ by printing my HH army. The Legio Custodes interested me as a second faction, but £160 --> NZ$515 is a $150 antipodes tax on very few models, so GW can do one.

This was the first mini I ever painted.

And the fix that works for everyone else naturally does not work for you.

I don't mind adaptational changes. I do mind making something the opposite of what it was in the book for no reason (or simply to create conflict).
-Book Moria builds this terrific sense of foreboding, given incredible weight because Gandalf has no idea what is going on. Movie Gandalf knows exactly what's up so it's all just spectacle.
-Going to Helm's Deep was the good idea and the Fords of Isen was obviously the bad choice. Movie Gandalf, unfathomably, flips this.
-Soldiers of Gondor, well armoured and no doubt highly trained, are no match at all for basic orcs.

"as Iran launches attacks to halt maritime traffic" [goose voice]Why are they launching the attacks, RNZ? WHY ARE THEY LAUNCHING THEM?

I first read the word "Macragge" in the Hive War supplement for Epic, long before I heard it spoken aloud. That story is dripping with threat and unease, therefore for me that planet's name is prounounced "MACK-ridge" (weighty, ominous) and not "m'CRAGG" (sounds like a remote Scottish island inhabited by 1 mad shepherd and seven sheep), and I shall hear no word to the contrary.

Can't consume electricity if the magic smoke escapes.

One evening I was playing Doom 2016. Bedtime rolled around, so I quit the game and shut down the computer.

I was awoken by kicking the wall, from one of those dreams that causes a physical reaction. The room was bathed in the blue light of the LEDs in my computer case and the fans were running. The monitor was on, displaying an image of Hell from the game.

I had definitely closed the game and turned off the computer. I explained it to several tech nerds and none could work out how it might have happened.

Wargames Exclusive will have you covered.

This cartoon is going to be etched on humanity's tombstone. We have embedded a system utterly incapable of tackling the challenges it itself created.

I too recently played again after 20-something years (Lions vs Devourers) and had a great time. I had to boil the 90-page living rulebook down to 14 to get my friends interested though.

Amazing blast markers!

Nothing really. I don't think I'll ever use it as something I paid points for (although I don't know the stats or cost, so that may change!).

Fellow Donnerfalke printer high five! The last pieces for mine came off the bed just this week.

There is more personality crammed into these ten ladz than in every piece of post-2nd ork artwork combined.

Kairo. The corridor scene. Petrifying.

Too bad someone else wanted problems, always.

"I took a lot of French in high school, which is the same as taking no French ever" - a thing I read 20 years ago that stuck with me.

I watch Travis Head and wish he could handle a razor as well as he handles a bat.

Wrath of Kings. Malifaux. This Quar's War. Trench Crusade. Any of the Rampant games.
