Very "Celtic" wouldn't you say?

I'd like to, but seeing as I don't play much anymore, I can't justify the
cost of trying to get more out-of-production minis. Especially with the Oz
Dollar as pitiful as it currently is...

Ah. I thought this must have been the case. Good use for them.

Very easy mistake to make. Have done it myself. Looked at the rules, seen
all the good bits and thought "WOW!" then failed to read the drawbacks.

This is still fine according to the rules.

Now THAT'S the attitude an Ork player needs!

Well, either you make a concerted effort to kill it or you ignore it. The
earlier suggestions of the Ball round and then taking out the weapons is a
really good one, but you either plan to kill it or ignore it.

Well, you were the player who was there. Offer your opponent some
suggestions to give a game that lasts more than one turn. Marines are a
very mobile force and to not move with them is a waste of their talents.
