Buy plenty of Matron's sculpts now!

If he keeps using the chainsaw, the value of his work will soon go up.

Would you rather never wargame again or only play GW games  :d

I would quite happily play Epicand  Warmaster if I was forced to only play them
If I were creating Pendraken I wouldn't mess about with Romans and  Mongols  I would have started with Centurions , eight o'clock, Day One!

As long as it wasnt Borehammer or Fartykay most of the rest are pretty OK.

1) Titan Legions
2) Space Marine
3) Space Hulk
4) Warmaster
5) Dark Future

All of the above were pretty ok games on their time.

One other question for you gents, if the above list were re-released, how many of you would rush out and buy a copy (or possibly several)?

I would buy Space Marine (again) and would also add to my Warmaster stuff if it was the same size but GW have a habit of making their new stuff incompatible with their old stuff.

It was, like Space Marine, until they added bigger and bigger stuff!

GW modus operandi,  create reasonable game,  add stupidly hard must have units,  milk the clientele,  wreck the game balance and then ditch it!

I sold my Ork fleet quite recently for stupid amounts. Though I do regret it sometimes

Yeah,  I've sold some stuff that I still want but,  I know I'll never use them so,  on balance,  I'm better off with the money  ;)

Hmm, I still have all of those ... and Necromunda, Mordheim, Battle Masters, Bloodbowl, Heroquest, the original Mighty Empires and three different versions of Talisman, gods know why, I don't really like the game!!

You've still got the money(!)?  :o

Do you play with it? Is it as good fun?
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Sparrow. I've always wanted to fly.


Would you rather lose any ability to paint, or any generalship?

Me too. I'd rather be a sparrow than a snail.
Yes I would, if I could, I surely would.

So does this mean you would rather be a hammer than a nail?
