I consider myself a Tau player, although I have 'Nids, Guard, Daemonhunters, and Tau (gimme a break, I've been doing this for fifteen years).
Funny story: I'm going to a tourney April the second, bringing my Daemon Hunters.
But wait! The Daemonhunter codex is being updated to the Wank Knights ... I mean Grey Knights on April the first, penned by none other than drooling Marine fanboy Mat Ward! "What to do?" I ask the organizer, it turns out that if I go to the trouble of buying the new codex on the first I can use the new rules in spite of the tourney requiring a list be e-mailed two weeks prior to the start. All I need to do is have two lists; one with the old codex because my opponent might not like playing against an army he (or she, but let's be realistic) isn't familiar with, and another because my opponent might be a mouth-breathing neckbeard who doesn't care that the new codex has only been out for twenty four hours; you must play with the most recent rules.
"Well well...", I said to myself, looking through the PDF ... I mean local hobby store open copy. The Babycarrier Dreadknight ... I mean Nemesis Dreadknight may be published fanwank the likes of which the Black Library would never dare to inflict on anybody, but the statline looks like a very good points/performance ratio. Can I put two of these together in a single day AND make an army list?
Well, no... I can't...
Luckily there's a clause in the tourney rules; 'You may use non-GW models', since it's not an actual GW tourney. And just look at this; I've got a pair of 1/100 HG Gundam Wing Action Figure Model Kits (Epyon and Wing Zero no less) aching for a turn with my airbrush! I'm sure if I just base them on a CD in the same pose as a Grey Knight Terminator standing between their legs it'll be just as good if not superior to their Cidadel cousins!
It's time to make some mouth-breathing, neck-bearded, stained-tshirt wearing fanboys very, VERY angry.
Or, at least I hope so.>:3
