Topic: The Minotaurs: End Times?... or Good Times?!

[Siberius]

I like that chaos warriors, knights, orcs, and minotaur are epically large.  I am also glad that I do not belong to the largest UK gaming club, because you all seem to eat cucumber sandwiches and drink tea all day... and be really obnoxious about models!

Phil

There is no need to attack tea and cucumber sandwiches.

These are the good things in life.

[MrDWhitey]

And for the record : I like the ranked up Pumbagors more every time I look at them.
They are too goofy not to like.

100% agree. They make me smile too much to dislike them. I think they're wonderful.

Also cucumbers make me sick.

[rufus sparkfire]

Are cucumber sandwiches really just sandwiches with nothing but cucumber in them? If so, why would anyone want to eat them?

There's nothing wrong with cucumber in itslef, but that's not my idea of a sandwich.

[Mathi Alfblut]

Indeed, they are not my cup of tea in regards to sandwishes. 

And as for the pumbagors I refer to previous speakers. To wacky cute not to like.
And you you others who hate whenever GW goes of on a wacky tangent to bring some humour back into the game... Hakuna Matata!

[Nicholas Bies]

Hakuna Matata...

Mathi that is the best thing you've said in months and I think most of what you say is interesting (hell I even read most of it  )

[MrDWhitey]

And you you others who hate whenever GW

The delightful, delicious irony. 

[Mathi Alfblut]

Well, who said I could not deliver a line or two at my own expense!
That is the mark of the great comedian after all!

[Midaski]

Some of you guys are priceless .....

The internet famed for exaggeration and outrageous opinion, and when someone says something and then tries to back it up you lot cry foul.

South London Warlords are a huge club - they run Salute every year - and I doubt if every member is in the 40 - 60 age group
I'd take a concensus of their opinions against "Fred Nurd" from his shack in Timbukto.
 
We had several sqawks about how Goldswords would sell - well the single box in our shop is still there - when was it released, May last year?

As you may know, I have a few models from various eras and the size issue is the most annoying - compare a C26 or an F2 mini with one today and there is a lot of difference.
The old Lords of Battle and the Reiksgard foot knights evidence a change back around 1989/1990.

Hell compare a plastic Ed.6 soldier of the Empire with the same edition Militia bodies, or a current State Trooper.

The 'look' of a model is a very subjective thing - I look at some of the stuff others rave about and think 'crap', and I am sure it works the other way round.

[rufus sparkfire]

But do you like cucumber sandwiches?

That's the real issue here.

[Warlord]

The thing is Midaski, I'm not convinced all members of salute believe the 'new' (6th ed) orc models to be crap like JustNorth claimed. For all members in the biggest club in the UK to have such a like minded opinion is why I cried foul.

The 'look' of a model is a very subjective thing - I look at some of the stuff others rave about and think 'crap', and I am sure it works the other way round.

Precisely.

Then there was also the discussion of whether 'size creep' is a style change or not - and in my argument for affecting an entire range of miniatures (instead of one set like your militia example). Basically it was a terminology issue which myself and JustNorth disagree with.

I don't deny size creep exists. I just don't think it a conscious decision to make everything bigger like I perceived JustNorth to imply.

But do you like cucumber sandwiches?

That's the real issue here.

Agree.

[Shadowlord]

The internet famed for exaggeration and outrageous opinion, and when someone says something and then tries to back it up you lot cry foul.

That's just boloni and I understand what Warlord means with the way the discussion is going.

Deaf ears and milky eyes FTW!

Cucumber sandwiches is shit, the pumbagors are meaty and different tasty.

[rufus sparkfire]

pumbagors are meaty and different tasty

Not really an ideal sandwich filling though.

[Midaski]

Cucumber gives me wind ...............

Following two themes here of eating and W-E unit nicknames surely we should now refer to them as .......... PumBagels ...................

 

[Finlay]

I like Justnorth though.  But he really has shit attitudes about what makes fun models.

And I am still amazed at how thin Finley remains despite drinking his weight in alcohol everyday...

Phil

The Eurobash is a time of special indulgence re alcohol consumption.

Yes, cucumber sandwhiches = cucumber and butter.
Pretty good. Better with smoked salmon.

Still can't believe people think the pumbagor is good.

[MrDWhitey]

Still can't believe it's not butter.

[Midaski]

Still can't believe people think the pumbagel is good.

Ah see youth and old age both agree it's crap - it looks like some 'scary' creature from a weak childrens' TV programme ..............

[MrDWhitey]

A bit like something from Trap door then?

[rufus sparkfire]

Yes, cucumber sandwhiches = cucumber and butter.

So what's the point of that? To make you die of hunger?

[phillyt]

 Yet I prefer it to the Rieksguard knights everyone is so hot for...

MrDwhitey:  I can't beleive its not butter... that deserves to be sigged!!!!

 

Phil

[rufus sparkfire]

Yet I prefer it to the Rieksguard knights everyone is so hot for...

Which ones?

And who cares what other people like anyway?


And also, I've just noticed there are about fifty million pictures of Finlay in this thread for no apparent reason.

[Mogsam]

I saw the minotaurs in a GW earlier. They actually aren't "that" bad. The GW ones are just painted bloody awefully. Would have stayed to look at pumagors but i can't spend more than 10 minutes in GW without them trying to sell me something expensive and the inevitable sarcatsic response.

Today it was the Nazgul flying thing.

Mogsam

[rufus sparkfire]

Today it was the Nazgul flying thing.

But that's actually good.

[Merrick]

But does he actually need/want a Fell Beast? 

[Mogsam]

Today it was the Nazgul flying thing.

But that's actually good.

I happen to agree but it wasn't really what I was after. Since I was looking for something to turn into a cockatrice.

The Nazgul isn't really much like a cockatrice...
