Welcome to Gaia! ::

Dreadnaughts suck! I roll a 2 and i penetrate!(ap1) They're only good when they get fired i by Drop Pod! Then we kinda got a problem xp But there is a thing called 18 st5 shots in the middle of your guys from deepstriking stealths! Excellent but Suicidal! twisted

WTF is that???

Okay I stop by for a quick rant. I still have test and crap but to let go some of the pent of steam I collected over the weekend so it doesn't effect my grade I must let lose with everything I have on the Book
"Tau Firewarrior"

For god sakes! What the hell, I would like to see the guy who hired the guy who wrote that crap book that deserves to burn in hell. That is by far one of the worst 40k novels I have ever read in my entire war hammer 40k career. Of course I just returned from a game I lost purely by luck.
And I mean that, I swear to god I rigged my dice to lose in my sleep or something. In my first two turns I fired 14 plus lascannons shots at two falcons(4 of them twin linked) and didn't hit any of them! To top that off I fired 8 missiles and two Hunter seeker missile at the same turn.
For two turns I poor everything I have into two vehicles and nothing work, on the second turn two squads of vipers mop up every vehicle I have on the field getting many hits and 6s on the armor penetration table.
It was insane, the amount of bad luck I was having. I fired 16 bolters shots at the rear armor of a wave serpent and hit only 6 of them.
That is just the tip of the iceberg but I don't want to bore you with more of that game I would hardly like to remember.(My opponent said I didn't actually lose he was willing ot call the game off on account of my bad luck! He didn't feel right about playing against that kind of bad luck and said we could try again the next day.)

So on to the point. I am steamed about the game I just played when I chance upon the book, Tau FireWarrior.
I start reading it and I nearly rip the book in half. Who the F*** wrote that book! One tau does not kill a Space Marine captain, that Kais has a better chance at threading a camel through a needle then killing a Marine captain by himself. Not only that but he continued to kill marines. I mean god darnit people, does games work shop even read that sh*t.

Not only that but the Ultra Marines find out about the Raptors chapter and are almost ready to wage war against them. Their Space Marines, those are their brother space marines! I just can't see them acting like "Oh those space marines suck they don't follow the codex astartes to the letter we should kill them!". I have just increased my hatred of Games Workshop by nearly 10 fold. I was almost ready to quite the hobby all to gather because it just seems the space marine I use to know are no more. I remember when Space Marines use to sound liked the mighty warriors they are supposed to be not in the books and fluff of today and they appear to be just a little bit better then normal soldiers. And they wear Power armor.

What I think of when I think of a Space Marine:
A Space Marine is a giant standing 8-9 feet tall.
He is a superhuman warrior able to crush any opponent.
Each Marine is a hero in his own right, a survivor of hundreds of campaigns. A legendary warrior feared by his enemies.

Wow sounds like you had a bad time of thins Dart, now take one of your dice out back and crush it any way you can. It will make you feal better and the others will roll better. 3nodding I have faith you will utterly destroy him next time, the fight is always better comming off of a loss.

You are right about the book, its heresy in it's purest form ! scream I browsed throught it at the book store and stuffed it behind some other books in a different section so no one would have to waist there money on it !! Gahh !

lol they have been put in more of secondary postion recently havent they?

Right you got it Dry, it's all marketing tactics. If the marines always killed every thing no one would buy any thing else. Sooo... fluff or not a Tau will kill a marine captain if there profits are down. The Power of the Emperor pales in the face of the almighty dollar !

I'd love to meet up one day, but where all spread out. Waaay out. I think Aurelius is in england. Nara I think I'm the closest one to you. I'm in Florida. Every one else is up in the Ny/Pa region.

Yes, thats hat i was talkin abbout Isis. Sorry about the delay in replying but i had exams which i did pretty good in.

My friend plays Black Templar and he uses some trait or other, some vow. I cant remember what it does but its annoying whatever it is!
