actually, Toma and i have been talking about him feliding a chaos
army agianst my eldar just for fun, but i dont have the units that
that cheeseball had,, I only have one tempest host. and a few other
things. But, im a balanced player, and enjoy that kind of game,, i
dont want to Beat my opponent into submission only to gratify my
pride and selfish arrogant ways. Thats how you lose good
players..Its why i don't play 40k anymore,,, too many of those types
around now a days.
