Here is a Trygon Prime painted by Tammy Federico. Tammy run's the gaming club out in Perry Sound and I think she did an amazing job.
The Trygon Prime is a great model. Great job GW. Great job. I must say though what is with this new wave of large models that EVERY army is going to want to use. First they did it with Imperial Guard and the Valk and now they are doing it with Nids. I hope GW does not think we are fooled by this tactic of charging $75 for a 130 point model that turns the army into a deadly force to be reconded with. I think there was extreme use of Cocaine when they wrote up the Vendetta and valk.
In Warhammer 40k we have a lot of different players such as:
We have the "FLUFF" player. They enjoy the stories of Warhammer 40k and make armies built around them. We all know a few people like this. I for instance know a guy who plays a pure Kroot army. He does this because he loves kroot. He has a fan codex that was made up a long time ago. God bless his heart because the army is not very good but he would not change it for the world.
We have the "TOURNAMENT" player. They enjoy playing in tournaments and like hard games. They will bring the best list they can think of and expect you to do the same. Normally these kinds of players are getting ready for that next big tournament.
We have the "THIS SOUNDS COOL" player. They make a list because they think it would look cool or play in a unique way. We all love these kinds of players because they bring us some pretty amazing new ideas that we might not have thought of without them.
We have the “I JUST WANNA WIN" player. They wanna win. They hate to lose, and play as hard as they can. They sometimes get upset when they lose but they are always ready for that next game for another chance to wipe you off the table.
We have the "I JUST WANNA PLAY" player. He is simply a guy who wants to get out of the house and play a few games. Maybe he has a few kids and a wife. He is just happy to get out and roll some dice with the guys from time to time.
We have the "RULES LAWYER" player. He prides himself on knowing the rules and makes sure you follow them or else there will be a heated debate, normally with you being wrong at the end.
We have the "I LOVE TO PAINT" player. This is a person who is more into the hobby side of the game. They enjoy painting and are very proud of the hard work they have put into there army.
We have the "I LOVE TO CONVERT" player. Winning and losing is normally not that big of a deal to this player. They have some amazing conversions and are just proud to show them off on the table.
Nothing is wrong with any of the gaming types but there are a lot of different kinds of gamers out there. We have to remember that just because we enjoy playing a certain way does not mean that we should expect others to act the same way. We need to allow people to enjoy the game there way and not force our feelings and thoughts on them. I personally fit into a few of the categories here. I’m sure a lot of us do and there are more that I’m sure I didn’t think of. So what type of gamer are you? Think about it for a bit and remember don’t let anyone tell you that you’re the wrong kind of gamer.
In my endless pursuit of becoming Dr.Peachykeen I have forgotten my beloved Blog. I loved writing this thing before school started and I need to start writing it again. I have also had many friends tell me they miss my blog, and they wish I would start writing it again. So IM BACK BITCHES! I’m back again to write about my favorite game Warhammer 40k.
I will be going to a tournament this weekend with 9 other friends in Ontario, and I’m hoping that I can bring gold home again. It will be myself and my teammate Jon fighting tooth and nail with some of the best players I know. We made the choice to play Imperial Guard and Tau together so I guess Sunday everyone will know how well we did. Battle Reports to come.
