I thought I'd create a place where we can share our in-game experiences with members of the community. Every game I learn something new, and I'd be interested in reading other peoples' thoughts. :) Here're my experiences from the game I just came home from playing:

Dear diary

Today I got massacred again. I think quite a large part of it was bad luck, as all my 4 warmachines misfired in round 1 (Both the doomdivers exploded). My poison-goblins squabbled, so my shooting phase was completely nullified. In the magic phase I just failed casting Foot of Gork by 1. Not a great turn overall. :lol:

Things I learned:

*A horde of Goblins with 5+ poison do really well in combat. However, not well enough to out-grind a horde of orc boyz without first softening them up with shooting.

*A MMU style list is quite flexible and gives you lots of options.

*It is difficult to make the best out of those options without first thinning down the enemy's larger units.

*Sometimes the dice will just shaft you. This is okay, and you're totally entitled to moan about it.

*'Ere we Go! is a really good spell. Not quite good enough to turn my horrible luck, but nearly.

What did you learn today?

I learned that anytime today I went to stick the table together to put a box to spray undercoat models in out side, the British weather says no, here is some rain. Every. Single. Time. Today. :(

things i learned today:

All my models are safe from little childs hands except the wolf riders......and everything standing between the cute doggies and my daughter.

Bwahahaha. :D

Theo

I learn that a tree with a big storm will take out your power and internet for a week .
I wish this on no one :(

That will be a big baby boom in 9 months ;)

I've learned that if you plan a BBQ Dutch weather will say F you and organize a downpour.

At least I can still laugh about it:

Things I've learnt today:

If I play too much frisbee I will dream about it.

If I play too much frisbee and Battlefield 3, I will dream about knifing dog tags from frisbee player's backs.

I have improved as a player!

I like my Vitamin C tablets.

I learnt how to make a publish a Facebook ad.

I can run up my hill without getting too tired!

The beach is nice in the morning.

That stretches make me feel awesome.

That if I get up super early I can accomplish a lot!

When walking silently, my foot turns outwards.

I have super short hamstrings.

Face paint takes exactly 5 washes with cold water and soap to come off.

Sometimes the couch is better than a bed!

Mascara does smudge as much as I thought it would...

My cat is stealthy!

I rely on what people think and say about me far too much...

And that I'm not too sure how to change that.

That I've matured a bunch!

And I have learnt that I have learnt a lot of things today already!

AND IT'S ONLY 8AM! :D

*RAINBOWS*

*Runs off to discover what new wonders await in the day...*

I know that feeling- or more accurately, the opposite. When I wake up after 9 I just...waste half the day trying to wake up properly. Today I woke up at 11. I've done nothing today. :lol:

Theo

Golf umbrellas and strategic bbq positioning is all it takes :)

I learn today from Bork bork He says baby are made from power outages..
* kera smack"s the palm of her hand to her head*
I though it took a man and a woman!
Kera runs to get a Generator at the store That should keep the baby away for a while
:)

Your parents never told you about the wall socket and the extension cord? ;)

Well, this thread took about 2 posts to derail :P

Well, these are things I've reflected from my one day event on Saturday.

-It's OK to 6 dice some spells (Foot of Gork, Hand of Gork, or Curse of the Bad Moon) and not feel dirty.

-IF you screw up bad in deployment, you need Hand of Gork or Foot of Gork to fix things. If not, you are screwed.

-Orc Characters, including cheap guys with Great Weapons, can chew through Demi-Griffon cavalry.

-A Goblin Wolf Hero can kill a lot on his own, especially missile troops in the flank!

-Archnaroks can't kill steam tanks, unless you get really luck with poison stinger. If it does happen once, you are lucky. Don't try it again.

-Curse of the Bad Moon is a good spell, even if used in the non-boosted version.

-Use fast cav, fanatics, terrain, and Curse of the Bad Moon to stop them on one flank as you rush them on the other.

-If the enemy has Mindrazor, any unit can kick your butt.

-Smoke machines on your display board get you Player's Choice paint awards :D

Yup! ^_^ I'm ok with that though, it's largely hilarious.

@Groznit: Good ones! I'll try to remember that. :)

Shhh, Mr Serious is here.... Act like we weren't having fun.. ;)

Now that it is safe to enter my hobby room after the emergency evacuation yesterday, this is what I learned: I am still dumb as a rock.

I was clipping, trimming and gluing my Arachnarok when ,while clipping, I knocked over my nearly full jar of liquid plastic cement...again. Some glue got on the body, but it didn't melt too much and should be ok.

You'd think after having done that a second time, I would learn to close the lid in between gluing. But no, I just caught myself not closing the lid while working on the platform.

Simple solution.

Buy this:

Better dosage, more control and (in your case) above all doesn't spill to much when knocked over.

See and we're back on track with hobby-related stuff.
Not to shabby that!

I learned spamming the forums on the internet on the topic of my hobby is a way to pass the time.

Yep, still hobby related stuff :D.

Oh also learned my memory really isn't up to much these days.

Oh yeah, and I learned spamming the forums on the internet on the topic of my hobby is a way to pass the time.

Yep, still hobby related stuff :D.

I have no idea what you are talking about........ :rolleyes:

(don't look at the top posters for this forum)

I learned that the more money I have, the more money I spend.

GW should be happy about that methinks. B)

I learned that If you forget your keys at work you will have to wait outside in the rain until the misses gets home

I learn to day at the gw store people.. Are nicer to you if you have shorts and a tank top on !!

:) i must try that next time

Da Warpath members will totallly respect you if you post pics... :D

I think it'd be more correct to say everyone is nice to you if you're an attractive girl!

Today I learned 3 things:

- trusting Google to give you directions to a warhammer tournament is a bad idea
- Kadaii Destroyers are super annoying to kill, even when your whole army has magical attacks (was playing Daemons)
- Vampire Count zombie-spam sucks when you have crap for magic defense. Soooooo many zombies....he had a box of over 200 bodies stashed under the table...

Pics or it didn't happen. I need PROOF she's an attractive girl to be nice to her... :D

go to off topic at the top the link is don't be shy
page 15 in the middle .

something i learn today : I learned the popularity of a person rely on there picture..
:(

It's why I wouldn't post one, everyone would be running screaming about mutations and trying to beat me with big sticks! :D

I only posts pics of me in the rain trying to get the BBQ to go.

That way I know people will laugh at horrid situation I'm in, in stead of just laughing :D

Hmmm I have plenty of rain in London, just missing a BBQ :D

I came I saw, I was under impressed. You'll have to send me MORE if you want to gain my favour Keira... ;)
