Favorite quote: \"Yeah, we flew our space church across 500 light years to get to this planet taken over by the orks. Now we\'re going to drop from orbit in buckets and run out and shoot pistols and hit people in the head with chainsaws. Ultramarines!\"

The entire WTF D&D?! series is pretty fun, they trash everything from classic D&D to Rifts and now they have taken on the game which always makes me want to buy and paint armies, but never ever play with them Enjoy!

Zack: Thousands of dollars to waste on collecting junk and paints for junk. In the years it takes you to buy and assemble a large army Games Workshop will come out with a new army or a new version that renders yours obsolete, so you\'ll need thousands more dollars.

LMAO
lol

Good fun, their coverage of the S1 Tomb Of Horrors 1st Ed AD&D module is very funny too. I tried to run that thing once, I think we started 3 times before the players refused to continue & I just read it out like Jackanory! B.

That\'s hilarious!


My favorite line:

\"It\'s a valid question. Just because they\'re evil doesn\'t mean they can stop drinking water.\"

Glad you guys liked it. The entire Page 3 is pretty amazing!

Zack: I think most people would say atmosphere is crucial to 40K\'s success.

Steve: It\'s grim and dark, like you said. And there is only war. Pretty much as advertised. Lots of big battles. Skeletons everywhere. Dead bodies. Monsters. Robots.

Zack: Robots?

Steve: Yeah, there are robots. Skull robots they call servo skulls. And the Necrons are like robots.

Zack: The Necrons are the skeleton army that shoot glowing green crap everywhere and live in floating pyramids. So your two examples of robots in 40K are both skeletons.

Steve: Well it is grim and dark.

Zack: Everything has to be grim and dark all the time?

Steve: There is only war.

Zack: That\'s impossible. There has to be people getting married and having kids and going to school. The galaxy wouldn\'t function without all that stuff. They wouldn\'t be able to have a war.

Steve: Oh, this again. Your whole \"Where does Chaos get drinking water?\" thing.

Zack: It\'s a valid question. Just because they\'re evil doesn\'t mean they can stop drinking water.

Steve: You\'re talking about demons from another dimension 38,000 years in the future.

Zack: All I\'m saying is when NASA sends a probe to Mars they don\'t go looking for skulls, they go looking for water, and there\'s a reason for that.

Steve: The reason is that NASA is going to get its rovering butt kicked by some serious skull-faced bad dude with a chainsaw.
