On the flip side of the coin...You know what else gets old. Playing against the same d**n army over and over again and NOT from the SAME person either. Just pointing out how there seems to be a STC for marines. I wasnt singling anyone out....But Tom was. LOL! But by the way you reacted I can help but think that theres a bit of truth in Tom/My words. People b!tch about How Chaos armies are all the same with the tooled DP and the Defilers the obliterators...But they wont even take the time to look at thier own army and realize that they are just playing the same marine army as the next marine player. There is a STC for Chaos and Marines out there and its getting old. get a little fire going in here...wooo haaaa!

CORRECTION, IT'S NOT A WHEELCHAIR THAT GETS PUSHED. 5) IRON WARRIOR WANTS TO CAUSE TROUBLE, GOD I HOPE SO, THIS BLOG HAS BEEN DEAD FOR DAYS. 6) AND YES RON, YOU ARE A FISH!

I have to agree with Ron. I personally don't much care about cheese vs non cheese. I care about facing the same d**n thing over and over again. It get's boring. Everyone is prone to it. The trick is to catch yourself and stop yourself from doing it. It's so much more fun playing people who are willing to play things other than the STC armies. Most of the time, my marines have one LC on a dread, 1 Ass cannon on a dread. I admit to playing a chaplain most of the time, but he is usually my only character. Haven't used a librarioan yet since the new codex came out. This is how it should be. Be creative. Play something different. It's why I like playing with da boyz. Larger number of creative players. Just wish my creativity was as successfful as some of you guys. Still working on that.

OK, SO YOU ONLY GET 3 HQ CHOICES: LIBRARIAN,CHAPLIN or COMMANDER THATS WHATS BORING DON'T POUND ON THE SPACEMARINE PLAYER FOR THAT. THE ONLY INNOVATIVE THING THEY HAVE IS A TECHMARINE HQ FROM THE SCIONS OF MARS TRAIT. COMMAND SQUADS ARE STILL THE SAME MODELS WHOOPY AND ULTRAMARINES HONOR GUARD TOOK A HOLE CODEX TO GET IT. NECRONS GET A CHOICE OF A LORD AND 100 POINTS OF OPTIONS AND WITH TO SQUADS 10 TEN TROOPS MINIMUM,THAT EATS UP 560 points, (how exciting). AT LEAST MY TYRANIDS HAVE SOME VERITY AND ARE MORE FUN TO PLAY THAN SPACEMARINES OR NECRONS. NOW THAT I HAVE ARMOUR COMPANY IN PROGRESS IT SHOULD BE A LOT DIFFERENT FOR THOSE WHO PLAY AGAINST ME, AND I WILL VARY AS MANY MODELS AS POSSIBLE. WE COULD ALWAYS PLAY TOURNAMENTS WITH DIFFERENT UNIT CHOICES,FOR EXAMPLE: 1) 3 HQ'S, 5 ELITES, 4 TROOPS, 2 HEAVIES, 2 FAST 2)1 HQ, 10 TROOPS, 1 HEAVY, 1 ELITE, 1 FAST 3)4 HQ'S, 4 TROOPS, 0 HEAVIES, 0 ELITES, 5 HEAVIES P.S. NO THOUGHT WENT INTO THIS, JUST BITE ON THE IDEA. GOTTA GO! HAVE A NICE DAY!

OK, SO YOU ONLY GET 3 HQ CHOICES: LIBRARIAN,CHAPLIN or COMMANDER Actually a marine player has more than 3 HQ choices. They can takeā¦ Master, Captain, Master of Sanctity,Reclusiarch, Epistolary,Codicer, Deathwatch kill Team, Ordo Hereticus Inquisitor Lord, Cannoness, Palatine, Ordo Malleas Inquisitor Lord, Grey Knight Grand Master, Grey Knight Brother captain That Counts 13 different HQ choices BEFORE USING SPECAIL CHARACTERS wich usually adds 1-5 more choices. The fact we see only Epistolaries and Master of Sanctitys, with a rare Master is the point that people are making. Of the 13 to 18 choices we get to see 2 sometimes 3 Its not like its hard to find other options.

I play all 3 standard HQs. It depends on my mood. I don't have models for all the other ones I could take, so they don't get played. So from now on I will start the game saying "I apologize for having a marine army. I know you have seen a TAC Squad, Chaplain, Predator, scouts, dreadnought, etc before. Please forgive me for playing my army list. We could just quit now and call it a draw. Hows that sound?" There you go. Would that make everyone feel better?

NO SANGI, I DON'T FEEL BETTER, THOSE ARE STANDARD HQ'S, I SEE NO PROBLEM WITH THAT.

THATS HOW MY CHALLENGES GO OUT!

YOUR ARMY, PLAY WHAT YOU WANT. THATS HOW MY CHALLENGES GO OUT! really play what you want??? thats not how your challenges go... they say.. I have ultramarines the only thing specail about them is Specail Characters. (I dont even get Chapter traits) Your basic challenge is to cowardly to allow me to play the specails of my army, lets not try to stand up and say the exact reverse. Unless you are going to start editing your challenges to say... Open Game XXXX pts Bring your best and i will bring mine. All missions accepted and will be rolled randomly at All levels. Bring Specail Characters, Specail Units hell bring that big Forge world monster and VDR while you are at it! sadly i cant make it most thursdays so i dont get to take the [glow=red,2,300]Dragon Challenge[/glow], but after the escallation league bring it on on any Sunday.

ok, colonel catachan, the reason for no special characters is to keep the rules down and make it a simple more friendly game. i like to keep things in perspective and have an enjoyable game without incident. people who play me never have an issue with a rematch and thats the way i want it. not like you who spend half the time in the rule book arguing every minuet point and playing codex's before they have been officially realest scarping for every possible advantage as if your life depended on it. i have ranked you below capital letters, i play only one sunday a month, who ever has a tournament. quit your job and come play with the men on thursday nights, and don't were a pink sweeter. out of all the people in the world, the last person you want to call cowardly is me! "you have no idea!" you want to play forgworld, give me some time to finish armour company!

Yo Dragon time out. Don t be busting on tom because he USES THE RULES and voices his opinions when he particualry doesnt like something like seeing the SAME army over and over again. We have all invested a small fortune into this hobby, game and lifestyle. Not playing by the rules is lame. There is no exscuse for it. A Rule book was made for a reason, use it. If he is looking up rules in the book then fine, let him. Most of the answers are indeed in the rule book if you care enough to look for them. Not playing by the rules is like buying a pair of shoes just to have them sit in the closet while you walk around bare foot. What was the point? And if you or anyone else resents tom for looking up the rules then stop asking him about rules questions. I find it a very sad day when people b!tch out other people for using THE RULES.
Better Idea, how about you play a diffrent army if not a diffrent version of Blood angels...Like ones that like to assualt? Just a suggestion (take it with a grain of salt ;D)

Just a suggestion to DRAGON, you mentioned Pariahs. PARIAHS SUCK! I really dont think there is any good way of playing them. I have always thought walking them behind 3 spiders would work. I might try it out next time I play Necrons.

Ld 10 blows Fearless.. pshaw that is the worst ever Better than power weapons, cant see the use 2 strength 5 shots that shoot clear across half the board (even on the move)and ignore fairly all non marine armor and can still blow away land raiders... hey thats no lazgun so its worthless!! Oh and they reduce the opponents leadership, how can that be concidered useful??? Brian in future games my Ultras, guard, tau , chaos and Eldar would like to take that sucky unit in my games against you... you wont mind of course because the Unit SUCKS. I know its not strictly by the rules but we will call it players concent ok?
