Topic: Whats the rule for paintedness in GW stores

[MrDWhitey]

I both love and loathe you soth.

[Finlay]

Good to see you guys kept it up 

[MrDWhitey]

Kept what up? 

[Mathi Alfblut]

Now, all this was one waste of treadspace and one pathetic arguement. Pathetic coming from whiners...

Seriously, I don´t care if you got your army superpainted or unpainted, Finlay, unless you look the part. Seriously, I have wished to go to the Bash someday, but I realize all of you will so freakin´dissapoint me, even Shadowlord, but he is so awesome he makes up for it! If he play beasties and undress a bit.

Why you ask me? Well, because you wankers don´t do it all the way! None of you, save maybe good Padre and Hurenwiebel! Man this makes my blood boil!
When my lad play his Imperial guard, he dress up in his guardsman uniform! When Tom play his Vampire counts, he put on the look of the evil necromancer!
I expect no less form you, but I know you will not deliver! Personally, I have no problem coming properly dressed, and for such a big event I EXPECT everyone to be properly dressed. GW staffers are pathetic. They are never properly dressed, well, almost never. Look like pre-teens all of them... No properness there!

I am getting green facepaint so I can be a propa ork, or at least try too. When I come to the bash, if I do, I will dress in my best 17th century knechtclothes. Heck, I may even make a proper landsknecht dress and I will refuse to play Finlay when he appears in his shabby T-shirt and claim that too be a druchii dress or something!
Same goes for all of you, losers!

When I come, I expect to see all in proper dress! Fandir will be there with White robes and point ears at the least! Soth must look just like his Avatar. Rufus better look like I imagine him (yes, I really do) like a Empire fire wizard. Weib will be there dressed as a proper dwarf princess, wielding an oversized saucepan with great skill and dexterity.

And I expect Shadowlord, fielding his fancy beastmens, to be dressed in fur, having horns (well, he have them so no problem) broad shouldered and wide chested! If he comes with ogres, he better have them shavvy looking leather pants, gutplate and proper girt! Once more, I have no fear that Shadowlord will fail to deliver, but you lot! 

I even think Shadowlord would be the only one able to best me, cause of his awesomeness.

Yeah... That is all I have to say. If you are serious about this game you better be serious about how you look aswell! 

[warhammerlord_soth]

Allright; I'm switching to a Slaanesh army.

[wissenlander]

Allright; I'm switching to a Slaanesh army.

I think all the hints Midaski's been laying out suggest he's doing the same.

Actually, we're teaming up...

[Mathi Alfblut]

Now... I wanna see pics of you two before I decide you are worthy of my Bash attention! 

[warhammerlord_soth]

Sorry.
 
Only reserved for the Bash. Take your chances...

[Finlay]

Well done Mathi, your argument is almost as ridiculous as the throwing yourself off a bridge one.

[warhammerlord_soth]

Wrong pic. We won't be wearing bras...

[Shadowlord]

Silence boy! Mathi needs encouragement, not scorn (lest he stops with his ramblings).

I know, thank you! And you are obviously easily impressed. 

No, but I am sexually turned on.

And Warlord, your opinion won't change the fact that I do not still face unpainted armies or players who are either first class morons or don''t know the rules.

And I still don't look at ugly women.

[Fandir Nightshade]

Well as I lost a bet, I will come with a plastic crown a magical wand and a pink tutu.....if Mathi begs a little I even might add my bathrobe to really be Teclis reborn.


Finlay what you still haven´t realized is that your whole argument of a painted army is as valid as the bridge AND Mathis argument combined in a fullfilled relationship with lots of little baby arguments.

[Draig]

Mathi that was fantastic!

There's no doubt playing against a fully painted army really makes this hobby come alive, but I also acknowledge it's the least fun part of the hobby for some. I'm a total hobby freak. I spend about 4 hours converting pretty much every model I do (not many as you can guess), I have fluff built up over years of playing that fleshes out all my characters and heroes enough that I could probably write a novel about their adventures. Do I demand this level of addiction of an opponent? No of course not, that would be ridiculous. Is it nice when I play someone who approaches the game in the same way? Damn straight, but really that's what your regular group of players is for - finding people who you enjoy playing against who approach the hobby in the manner you would wish of an opponent.

And I hope that you get all the oohhhhhs and aaahhhhhhs from impressed people that will stare at your army with awe.
But you got my exact point,you can´t enforce crap like this on others.

[Shadowlord]

Considering 4 hours per mini, you must play with yourself a lot.

In so many way.

my argument is that it is more fun if everyone has fully painted armies. Pretty sound.
Yours is that you hate painting, and struggle to find the time, also fair enough.
Althouh actually, you're just arguing with me because you think I "enforce" it on everyone.


Good post Draig.

[Obi]

@mathi: pfft. Clearly you weren't at the 7th ed release in GW Amsterdam. I showed up as a proper standard bearer and as such was rewarded with the 6th ed starter box.

I almost completely disagree.
Unpainted armies are fucking lame.

As I said, I am doing it because I can't spray mine, butr after the battle I am going to To-stigs house to spray them in his garden, and will paint them before I use them again.

I saw someone using an artmy with 3 valkyries the day after they were released. lame.

srsly, paint your models before coming to the eurobash.

If you dont like painting, go play video games.

I'd find it quite insulting if you turned up with unpainted models. It would definitely make me want to play you less.
Well seeing as NOONE ELSE (caps, because you seem not to have realised this) had any unpainted models, you might find it a bit tricky.

Just paint your models you bum. You have months

So if one doesn´t paint his army that bum should go playing video games and your whole tone was quite insulting and not funny (you even said yourself that you are serious) at all, THAT is what I am arguing again and THAT is bad manner not showing up with unpainted models .....don´t you think.

So as what are you going to dress up`?

[Mathi Alfblut]

Refusing to play someone because they ain´t up to your standards of how their army should look, regardless of how they are otherwise as persons, makes you sound as if you indirectly enforce it. I for one would feel that you "enforce it" upon me because you otherwise refuse to be in my company.

I play anyone, as long as they are nice persons. I don´t try to judge a person based on their level of painted minis but on their personality.

And it´s nice to know there are persons who knows irony when they read it, Draig! 

I am a bit chocked that Finlay swallowed my rant hook, line and sink. Makes fer good lafz! 

@Obi
Been over, I will give you Mathis stamp of viking approval on your buttocks!

Mathi I would even let you give me a viking hug after the game and challenge you to some axe fighting as long as I could keep my High Elf dress on (It would grant me always first strike so could fell you with one mighty blow).

[MrDWhitey]

Eh, how did he fall for it? He merely pointed out that it was ridiculous. 

I do believe Finlay worded his initial posts too strongly, but I can't disagree with what seems to be his main point.

[Finlay]

MAthi, I realised you were joking.

And yes, I apologise for wording too strongly, as whitey said. I had had a few skinfuls, and was in a funny mood. The stress of being Hockey Captain.

Fandir, it wouldn't stop me playing against you, I was just trying to cajole you into painting them! I am sure you didn't actually thing I was suggesting you (or anyone) shouldn't come to the Bash, or wouldn't be welcome, if you had unpainted models. The Bash's really are great fun, amazing atmosphere amongst everyone.

And also note I didn't say I wouldn't play someone with unpainted models (if you remember, I actually said I play tostig and his unpainted knights) just that it would make me want to play you less.

Of course it doesn't change my desire to play with anyone that much, definitely not more than if I didn't get on with the person, or if they were cheating,
but if there were two people who I liked equally, and one had a painted army and one didn't, I'd rather fight the painted army!

Seeing as the Bash is the gaming highlight of my year, and looking at everyones lovely models (and getting killed by them) is a large part of this, I do hope (not enforce) that everyone manages to get a force painted up.

I'm looking forward to meeting everyone, and stick by my statement that once you meet me, you tend to like me more! But I wont dress up as anything.

Clear and sensible enough for everyone?
