So i played vampire counts for possibly my 3rd or so battle with them and we didn't finish the game but they feel horribly over-powered. As skaven i usually lose now because the army book is old but when i switched to vampire counts it's like i do at least as well and i don't even know how good everything is or the best strategies. The army just feels so OP in comparison like i'm not even trying. The difference in tactics however is still fairly vast between vampire counts and skaven.
Master of the black arts also feels almost too powerful. You roll 2d6 for winds of magic as normal but you can re-roll one of the dice. In one phase i rolled a 2 and a 4 and then re-rolled the 2 and got a 6 back. That vampiric ability is way strong and usually it causes magic to be potent. If anything i had more misfortune with miscasts even if the couple i had were pretty tame (kept me from casting spells though sadly).

Maybe you've just reached your level and it doesn't matter what faction you play >:D

Hardly. It must say something when i play a really powerful book and do about as well as an army i played for 5 years and it's constantly decreasing power level. It's really just the options that are very limited.
I have had two games against a dark elves player and a warriors of chaos player. I'd say both weren't very good but the dark elf player was a bit of a challenge to play. Was still owning him though. I didn't complete either game since both players had to leave but i think i would've won both even with a bit of bad luck in game 2. To be fair his luck wasn't entirely spot on either.

So i haven't been up to much but i'm thinking of painting more and more frequently or even building more models. It is 10 pm though and skyrim is also looking pretty good right now.
In other news i have imagined trooper from the IGMB would be humorous as a dude in a mobility scooter with like a glove similar to a power glove and using one of the extend-o-grabbers with a claw end. His love of food did him in at the end and now he's stuck using the mobility scooter ;P.
Also i have been wondering if when visiting my sister to take a shower and drop some soap outside the shower and ask her to get it for me. When she picks it up and hands it to me i ask her to hand it to me and then open up part of the shower curtain with my hairy butt facing her. I fully expect the soap going up my butt crack at that point but it would be funny just picking up the soap and bam there's my ass that she has to hand it to.

Trooper is eating healthy nowadays; it's me you should worry about.
Actually I can't afford to eat bacon much, unfortunately, but if I could, believe me I'd pile it up and pies it down forthwith.
You seriously think about performing those shenanigans on your sister? I need another -]I[- mindwipe now...

I don't eat too healthy these days but i really should. At least i generally eat good foods for dinner and lunch. I may have to also stop drinking so much soda.
I've been exercising at the gym recently. I feel like it's helping.
-----------
As far as the warhammer fantasy hobby goes i've slowly been making models and maybe i'll paint some more as i should. I met some girl that's about 25 on universal battle (warhammer fantasy virtual gaming area) and she's french. Dunno what's going on with that really. She's apparently really good and has played for years. I might be interested in her though she's a little strange (in the practically 4chan sense of the word 'strange'). Either way i'm talking to her and she seems nice and she's more normal in private conversations. Perhaps she's a lot like me though girls in warhammer tend to be more heavily sought after than the men. I suppose regardless of the outcome i've met some girl with similar interests. Oddly enough she thinks skaven are good currently. The tournament players seem to think skaven are strong or OP and i'll never understand why.
-----------
Not really much beyond work and listening to music as i work at my job. Go figure i think up a whole bunch of inappropriate and/or funny jokes when i'm working on the job and i can't write them down. Really inappropriate ideas like masturbating your ass and calling it 'ass-turbation'.
I also couldn't help but remember this one time when i was checking out a community college or something in high school and they all laid down on each others laps and sat on a bunch of chairs in a square. I couldn't help but imagine currently that this was their version of the human centipede and they needed to shove each other's heads up each other's assholes.
I also think in one of cosmic's pictures with his sweater he looks like an evil bond villain. He should totally pet a white fluffy cat with his ring hand.

I had a weird dream earlier that my dandruff peeled into a sheet which resembled a paper towel every time it shed. It was weird.
An even more interesting dream i had was of a case worker and myself sighting a tornado. We ran inside and left either the door to the laundry room or apartment open but we both climbed into the dryer and were lifted off by the tornado for a while. When we finally got out we were dizzy and in mississippi or something. For whatever reason i decided to take a picture of the dryer basically beached or otherwise dropped off by the tornado as it subsided. We came back and somehow my wargame models were still there. It's as if the tornado came straight through where we were practically. According to the dream and what was mentioned by my half sister in it everybody in that building except us died. I'm rather surprised how unworried my half sister was and the lack of excitement to see us. It's like she didn't care that much lol.

@chem: I'm actually unsure if i should also picture you as 'agent 47' from the hitman series or if Bane is a better fit. I could do both. I had multiple versions for rook with one being a retarded dude in bondage gear (basically a Mr. Slave outfit from south park and a gimp mask) and the other a version of him that's overly masculine. I was also going to have an action figure for rook with 'action masturbation' (basically masturbating in slow motion as a toy feature).

You'd make a fairly good Bane, Chemin. Shall we burn Gotham together?
(I'm thinking that FKM would be The Riddler or maybe The Penguin)

I always figured you'd be the riddler empty (since you always pose needless philosophical questions to something as simple as eating pizza) and i'd be the joker (if we're talking old style joker or 90's animated batman series joker).
Today i laughed and entertained the idea of me getting a woman that would jump on my dick like a diving board. I'm sure empty will rib me on that one soon enough somehow.

Your 'ideas' always end up with you in the casualty waiting room, with a bleeding groin.. Bane.. No I hate Bane, I'd rather not be in Gotham City at all... *Goes back to Ultima Segmentum*

So not much is going on other than me playing 'Wargame: Red Dragon' with empty and watching a new anime called 'Parasyte' (if you haven't seen it you should as it's fucking amazing). There are other animes i should really get to watching but i've fallen more behind on doing other thing like making models and playing warhammer.
I'm not sure if i mentioned it to chem but i have been talking to some warhammer fantasy playing french girl on 'universal battle' (an online site for playing warhammer fantasy virtually). She seems nice though a bit weird (i guess i am too though) and she is good enough that she heads her group in warhammer fantasy when they play tournaments. I'm guessing she's really good at the game.
Thankfully stuff seems to be happening in warhammer fantasy in the lore and i think people are starting to play more than just elves and lizardmen. I actually think i've about had it with skaven for a while and might check out vampire counts till the skaven get re-released. I know this is a skaven themed site but sometimes you just get burned out playing the same faction for 5 years or so.

So i played a game of warhammer fantasy earlier and managed to beat orcs & goblins (more like night goblins, trolls and an arachnarok) with my skaven. I actually managed to take him down well. Everything my opponent had besides skarsnik and one night goblin unit (and also one heavily depleted unit of night goblins with 2 guys left) either died or ran off the board. His night goblins with skarsnik were also down to about 20 guys or so. I lost the abomination, some rat swarms that came out of it, one of my warlocks that killed himself and some small slave unit. He damaged my warp lightning cannons but they lived, same goes for my rat swarms that almost died but didn't and my censer bearers which very nearly died (one unit was down to a model while the others had my 3 or less left. His magic phase and some luck in general was bad while mind was fairly spot on. It was very strange.
Some highlights of the game included my sniping out his arachnarok with 2 warp lightning cannon shots on like turn 1 or so. It was really ridiculous how fast that thing went down. That said he managed to kill my abomination without too much difficulty.
It's so strange as i always tend to beat this one player and yet he seems to do well against others that i've supposedly beaten. I have no idea what's up here. Maybe he just has issues fighting skaven.
The funny thing is he had a weird terrible strategy of having his low leadership units like night goblins heavily spread out and away from his general. To be fair part of that was probably because of his mass animosity checks he kept failing but even still he would've been far out of his leadership range. I feel like a lot of his 'bad luck' was poor decisions on his part though the magic rolls he had were bad but some of the leadership checks he made were ridiculous. He made insane courage after i beat his trolls in combat and most likely would've run them down in most circumstances.
Anyway i dunno how that guy seems to beat people i've played and had a hard time against. He's one of the easiest people to beat though he is a nice guy. I feel like i should teach him some things but my win-loss ratio is pretty horrible and orcs and goblins, tomb kings and similar are fairly low tier. So yeah tiers must totally be a thing because i find myself struggling against elves.

Goblins don't spread PANIC to Orcs... ever. And same for orcs/ goblins to Black Orcs who are the 'ardest and don't care about lesser creatures running away.
So how was everyone's Christmas and New Years?
Happy New Year!

My new year was ok. It's been forever since you've been on chem. What's been up? My last game was against that ogres player that doesn't often come up. We saw if i could kill both his monsters after the game ended with my remaining warp lightning cannon and i did. Basically all he had left was his big unit of ironguts where i had most of everything still alive with the exception of one warp lightning cannon and my abomination took a couple wounds from his leadbelchers though i did some damage to them. I also did some damage to one of his ogre units and got them to flee. The real sexy move i did was got his mournfangs to charge my rat swarms while having my abomination and my doomwheel in waiting. He thought it was just my abomination in waiting so when he charged forward and forced my abomination to go forward my doomwheel launched itself at the mournfangs and did very powerful warp lightning blasts killing 3 of them (it can shoot into combat) and then impact hit it to kill the final one. I figure the mournfangs themselves cost at least 300 points in a 2,500 points game. Maybe it costs more and i didn't know though. The monsters also probably cost over 250 points each. So at that point i was between 750-1,000 points in kills. He did unleash the hellheart which killed all but one of my warlocks though. That said we only had 2 hours for a fairly great game. It all would've come down to the freaking ironguts and seeing if i could've destroyed them. I get the feeling they would've won the day though. I've been playing a lot of games from skyrim, xenonauts and endless space. Xenonauts is like xcom and gives me plenty of reasons to be pissed off from time to time. It's not as hard as it used to be though. I've also been working out at the gym. I often don't want to work out but i've gotta. I've been getting a little stronger after doing it at least 3 months. At least 3 because that's how long the gym membership was and it expired and needed to be re-newed. I only work out a couple days a week though. There are some hot girls there. A few of those hot girls are really unhappy when i look at them. I'm sorry i know i'll never get lucky enough to touch. I just wanna look ;P. Other than that just painting a little and watching an anime called 'parasyte: the maxim'. The parasites have little to no emotion so i'm wondering if emptyhat is one. You'd figure that'd just make him more awesome. That said hopefully one of his body parts was taken over and in order to prevent him bleeding to death a parasite healed his body. For all of our sakes he'd better not be a parasite. They showed an episode of one kill between 20-32 armed humans by himself (yakuza). -------- Edit: Also if you guys haven't noticed skaven are getting some End Times stuff. 5 different types of vermin lord are coming out. www.games-workshop.com/en-US/Warhammer?N=102351+4294967192&Nu=product.repositoryId&qty=12&sorting=phl
