I could take him...


He is only a plastic statue after all...or is he? In any event, with various GW gamesdays coming up, this is my public service announcement opportunity. Just say "No" when it comes to Games Days. Yes, the Golden Daemon stuff looks cool. Yes, they purpusely put that damn plexiglass at the perfect angle to prevent folks from touching the art...and ruining any pictures you try and take. Yes, the line to the forgeworld counter is too long and slow. No, there aren't any games worth playing. Yes, you get better deals on merchandise from any internet retailer or FLGS. Basically, for us, the drive is long, the cost is high, and the reward is severely lacking. If you have family in the area or if you're a fan of the host city, then have at it. Just consider GW's "Lame-Day" a temporary diversion to your regular trip. My recommendation? Independent conventions all the way.

Hey... the GW cons are just like their magazine... Here buy this...a and this... bring your kids... and buy buy buy..
For all the years I have gone I have yet to actually play a game there. Also hate the fact that the tourny players get to shop on the Friday before the con, That makes slim picking for the rest of us.

He's fiberglass and smells like dirty ass on the inside. The bolter is sweet when you remove it.
