Nerdiest Thing You Own

[The Heik]

Whether its a collector's edition Star-Trek bottle opner or a simple Lightsaber
Lets hear about your Nerdiest thing you own

Mine is a Game boy micro special edition which has the lay-out of a NES

My Warhammer 40,000 tabletop army. Space Marines FTW!

Space Marines? No... just no.
Mine has to be my Warhammer FANTASY (40k is checkers, fantasy is chess) Ork/goblin army, and my Skaven (Rat men). Wow, the Nerdiness in this post.

Space Marines? Yes. Way yes.

I've even got custom colours, a backstory for the chapter, named characters, and I am planning to do some custom modeling to create my chapter master.

I think I just out-nerded myself

And I dare your entire skaven army to fight one of my space marines at sunrise. He'll be scraping the last of them off his boots by noon.

989 skaven slaves, vs one space marine? Sheer numbers win, you dig? That isn't even the entire army. That's only 786 points with a 5+ save.

Rather take the Orks, but really any army aside from Dark Eldar can kick space marine ass. But as I said, 40k is checkers. No tactics, really when you look at it. These things fire at these things until one dies. You have to maneuver in Fantasy. One slip up and you are done. But yeah, my Orks for Jesus army is 1337. Custom paint scheme (takes a bit more than 3 colors for fantasy models), custom made Characters ("Geezus", the 13 "apostalz", the 13th "apostal", and BLACK ork, "Rewfus") make for an army I have been told is fun to play against, and quite humorous, which is the primary purpose of the Fantasy orks, but will you really argue? You play space Marines...

Jeez man it was just a joke. Though if you consider it technilogically (which the joke was based off), an 8 foot tall super soldier with power armor, a mini RPG launcher (aka the boltgun) and in some cases a power weapon, against a bunch of oversized rats with Renaisance era knives and popguns? Yeah, he'd win.

And you still have to maneuver in 40k, because if you just stand still then any army with arillery can rip you apart. The rules between fantasy and 40k are relatively the same, so any point you make about 40k tactics would generally apply to fantasy as well. Get rid of your bias.

BTW 3 colours is just my peronal army's colour scheme; it doesn't apply to all armies. Choice of colours is entirely up to the painter, so as previously mentioned: get rid of your bias.

Several hundred pounds worth of Warhammer and 40k. It's still an awesome game, just too expensive and time-consuming for me to fit into my life any more.

I'm sorry, daheikmeister but NxFelix is right; Fantasy is to a great extent won or lost in the movement phase, mostly because of the block formations. A flank or rear attack can make a huge difference, and 40k simplifies combat by allowing you to move in the assault phase, which reduces the complexity of the movement phase again. Anyone who plays both fantasy and 40k can tell you that.

Besides the LARGE collection of games (200+ across all consoles and on the PC), my Ezio model (from the white pack Assassins Creed 2) that sits just next to me on a stack of some games since I've run out of space.

An Escapist account lol

FTW! xD Btw, love your avatar and your nick - Rulz! xD

 

[MattZero]

Star Wars legos. Topping that, Imperial Star Destroyer lego sitting right above my tv. And some halo books.

Mine is the Lego Millennium Falcon. It took me several hours to build back in the day and I keep it rather out of the way on a shelf. I still get a rush of sheer panic whenever someone gets within a foot or so of it. I lost the manual if it broke I couldn't put it back together.

I have a collection of three Master Replica Force FX lightsabers (aka: the really fucking expensive ones). I have Mace Windu's, Luke's ROTJ saber, and Obi-Wan's.

Aaaand, drumroll please...

FTW. It's just a friendly argument about it anyway, and if you play Warhammer, you know what a friendly argument is. BTW, I have played 40k, until it made my Dark Eldar suck tits, so I moved to Fantasy, summarily got my ass handed to me until I knew what I was doing. You should give it a go, but all of the armies are very specialized, so you have to know what you want. If you want complete broken-ass army, you can go Tzinch (I think that is how you spell it). I have a list that is 1000 pts, no core and 28 power dice in the magic phase (Lord of change). And if you had ever read the fluff for skaven, you would know why the Space marine would get his ass rammed. A whole Space Marine Army? Yes, but one lone space Marine? Hell to the no. He would be there, and the ground off in the distance would get darker, than he would get grazed by a warp Lightning Cannon, than he would see two giant hamster wheels coming at him, rapid fireing warp lightning, as the ground near him started to move, and the rats began crawling and stabing, and ripping and tearing, and shoosting. More than 7 Marines would be a problem, but fluff-wise... they would die.
