[...]Of course, you may not appreciate this if you don't know what it's like to spend five hours paining one miniature to perfection only to look and realize that you've still got another 30 miniatures in your army that are still unpainted.[...][snapback]29489[/snapback]
H8. Warhammer Fantasy has long fascinated me (especially Orks & Goblins - complete pandemonium whenever you take the field ftw!), but I know that I'd never have the patience to paint all those friggin' miniatures (and Ork armies have more miniatures than most other armies due to their low point cost). I'd get one unit of thirty miniatures sprayed with white grounding, then get three of the miniatures painted green, then never touch the stuff again. And you can't play with unpainted miniatures. Curses.
Actually.. I always thought that Warhammer came BEFORE the 40k universe. In the games, you always see the Emperor dude. He was in the Warhammer game, Shadow of the Horned Rat, and you always hear the dudes in DoW saying "For the Emperor" and junk. I think a reference was made to him in an older 40k computer game too, where they said he lost his body to a disease or some junk. And since he's the immortal Emperor... *shrugs* It'd make more sense if the same Emperor who was in all the games went through the ages in the right order. The old medieval thing (archers, knights, junk like that... GYROCOPTERS) to the 40k universe.

No silly man, the emperor united the imperium and was given a fatal blow by horus during the horus heresy, then was inserted into the golden throne where he's lived (sorta) ever since.
Meh that's why I don't like the Tau, lf. Little buggers got off so easy. Let's examine shall we?

You know, you could have saved yourself 521 words and almost 3000 letters by simply saying you're jealous...
Looks like it's time to just start playing skirmishes, where the difficulty is based on your opponent's ability to mass units instead of on breaking the game rules. :angry:
