I did once play against someone who had an army of gaunts and for each massive unit he would stand a few up at the front and just push the rest up behind in a big pile...needless to say I didn't play against him again.

Every time I wonder if I should get back into 40K because of the nice models … I shall think of that table.

It is why I don't like to play large games.

As things stand with 40k though, you may as well use movement trays these days as there are not template weapons.

What about line of sight?  Is that not a concept anymore?

A multi-melta with no template?! Heresy.

What's worse is that I bet hundreds of 40k players would defend such pathetic players

Sorry. I've got to come to his defense. He obviously hasn't had time to put the minis together so a bag full of loose bits is a lot less messy than just a pile of heads, arms and torsos om the table. He has also put time into them as you can see the grey paintjob perfectly camouflages them into the board.  ;D

..I'm tired of banging heads on walla with 40k fans

On the one hand you don't want to "bang heads" with 40k players, on the other you're happy making sweeping unsubstantiated claims that belittle them.
How's that working out for you?

well, they did at least get a game in.

Seriously though, my only concern really, are those GW jiffy bags?

I mean ok, in store casual game but they look like some sort of generic sandwich jiffy bags, no skulz or spikes printed on them anywhere...or even logo.

Possible new product to consider? Get your bits  box in play on the table in flexible terrain hugging storage media?

This.

Please don’t take digs at other members even if you disagree with what they say. It doesn’t get anyone anywhere.

I've been perfectly civil and helpful.

One of our fellow members is finding he's getting into arguments that cause him distress and I've attempted to highlight, using his own words, how this may be a problem of his own making.

Please accept my sincere and profuse apologies for anyone upset by my msplaced altruism.

So far the kill team boxes have actually been pretty decent value in terms of they have often been cheaper than getting the individual kits on their own. I guess we'll have to see with that one.
