@voss: None of Prim's conditions are particularly wierd. I mean, 1500pts is standard game size, and altho "no FW" is a bit crimpy, I cant think of an army that relies entirely upon FW models to the extent that you cant play without them. In fact, the only thing you cant use FW in is the tourney, and there are alternative things that can be done on that day if youre that attached to your FW models. Likewise, he's made allowances for people that dont have 1500pts of minis on both days. What's stopping you from coming? It strikes me as a bit premature to go making a kunnin plan before the event rules are even announced, and if your army was going to be that unusual, why didnt you mention it to Prim before he set the conditions?
Never said anything about not coming, that was Spev discouraging me even more.
I still don't want to go into details as part of the fun I'm having for Nagoyahammer is doing something special this year. I got inspired by you little Nurgle army and came up with a project all my own; and though I'll never reach your standards, at least I would bring something wholey painted and win or lose I'd have fun with on a variety of different levels. One of the biggest incentives I had to work through this project was to field it at the 2,000 pnt level with a special center piece. Win, lose or draw (probably lose big time), who cares, it'd be fun to put that army down.
But 1,500 points ruins what I had planned and leaves me feeling like I sunk over $150 into a center piece (not even at full cost yet) that isn't of any use anymore and I still have hundreds of dollars to spend on the rest of the project to go.
It's easy to die in the swamp. What's hard is to staying dead.
