Title: The new trend
Post by: The_Chef on July 07, 2009, 02:53:11 PM

So listening around at BG and the new trend seems to be 1000 point games. I'll be around today (7/7) for games of 40k.

Man, you don't hang around at the store for a few days and you fall completely out of the loop.

I wasn't around Friday, Saturday, Monday or Tuesday and I feel like I haven't been here in months.

1000 point games seem awesome.  I look forward to watching the matches?

I think Steve D is a trend setter.

apparently so. I have 1000 pts of Ultramarines that seem to perform well for their points cost. I didnt know every one started only doing 1k armies O.o

I don't know how Tyranids will do at 1k. There are a few issues I am concerned about in low point games but I am planning on starting at 1k due to the number of models involved. It also seems like a good point to start at for getting the rules and interactions down so I can build a more coherent larger point list. Besides I may need some time to save up for models. Damn they add up fast!

As long as I don't magnetize my Gaunts ;D it shouldn't be *too* long before I am ready to start putting models on the table.

Seriously... I am kidding about the Gaunts... I am only magnetizing the one... I swear... um, I think.

I'll believe your magnetizing comment this time, but you failed to mention how long it will take you to pin every model that you have.

No pinning for the plastics. Just for the metals and that is only a hand full of models. Mostly large easy pins too.
Unless the Gargoyles turn out to be hard.

I will probably end up spending more time doing the magnets for the Carnifex and Warriors.

ya, you may find the gargoyles to literally be more trouble than they are worth.

Gargoyles are nasty little critters. they are expensive money wise to have a bunch and can be annoying at times to assemble but if you got em use em.
