I find it amazing that you think this sort of criticism would have any weight on a internet thread read by about 5 people all of whom are in their 30's and contemplating the merits of tiny little plastic men (which you started lol).

Derailing your own thread.
This just shows that on urban even a thread as normal and non contentious as this can end up in an argument. Surreal shit.
September you say? Not sure i'll have an army ready by then, let alone have had the opportunity to hone my skillz. But definitely pencil me in for any future ones.

Indeed the protocol in a situation such as this is to unfavorably compare his fathers skills in the area of fighting/size of car/fishing skills to your own fathers.

It's not really arguing. Grit was acting a dick during the recent racism shitstorm. I expressed that I'd 'like to smash his face in' - he took that as a direct threat and ran off to tell teacher and so I got red carded for two days. I took it on the chin and viewed it as the end of the matter but no, he's starting to pipe up on a completely unrelated thread in the gaming forum of all places. Boppity has done the decent thing, suggesting we settle it in the spirit of the thread ie - over a game of warhammer but he's being a bit coy about it prefering instead to continue playing the clever guy behind the safety of his monitor.

roll d20 against his leadership, then check for animosity. Then do panic checks, and wait to see if they cascade. Then declare charges, and guestimate charge distances, then roll a scatter dice and...
Oh wait, this is a a 40K thread isn't it? Just see who has the biggest tank. That's who wins.

I'm still undecided which army to go for. Basing my choice in aesthetics, Chaos Marines look good, but apparently a new codex is coming at some-point-soon-but-nobody-knows-when and I don't really want to wait.
Quite like the look of Tau but dotcom hinted that they're shite.
Necrons and Orks too but they seem a bit infantry-centric, and I can't really be arsed to set up a production line painting thousands of identical figures.
So it might actually be Space Wolves I go for. Aaaarrgggghhh, can't decide.
What normally happens is I sack it off in the deciding stage, like I did with FOW after buying a couple of books.
So I kind of need to pick quite quickly without picking the wrong thing and wasting a load of dosh.

I am teh fantasy flavour WH, so all that necron space marine techno blah is all futuristic elsewhat to me. Fantasy for the mfw. I like Empire, Chaos, and Orc and Gobbos (notice Orcs not Orks).

But then I'm a geeky snob.

fantasy is complex and actually engages yer brain a bit. But it all depends on whether you like the setting or not (it's kinda medieval/tolkien inspired).I might take a look at the fantasy one actually...
Either way, WH is a complete over-priced rip-off. But as long as you realise that in advance, you can make your own decision about whether you think it's a worthwhile hobby or not.

Oh right, I thought they changed things and the genes were basically Tyranids spawn or something?

to my shame I don't even need to look this up
the ymarl stealers from the original Rouge Trader game were indeed a standalone species, iirc there were no tyranids in it.
The current narrative is that the Xenos department of the imperium misclassified them as native to the moon of ymarl.
only later when it became clear that genestealers infiltrate host societies, creating genestealer-cults and hybrids they send out a signal, a beacon in the warp thus attracting the hive fleets like Kraken etc. They're advance troops designed to locate and tag prey for the main fleets.

I don't think any army is shite. They're all fair equal from what I remembered. Just different playing styles.
Tau are sit back and shoot.
Imperial Guard modded to look like Red Army is win.
EDIT: I always wanted the Red Coat Imperial guard too

Right. Still crap though, preferred the stealers to be their own thing rather than just a foot soldier. Liked the the mash up of Aliens and vampiric society they had going on...
