Putting The Wrong Shit In The Bin

Word up, fam. Its the tizzle to get bizzle with the shizzle. Ya knizzle?


We all know that young people cant seemingly open their mouths without spouting some ridiculous yoofspeak. The next person who says skibbidy to me is likely to get my boot in their face. Yet one phrase that has traction this month is "get in the bin". Stuff that's rightly shit should, in fact, go in the bin. Leaving good stuff that isn't in the bin.....but have you ever found yourself  *scrabbling in the actual bin*  to find something you have thrown away something you shouldn't?


Its a vital part of Brit life that, when given choices, we can sometimes get a little silly. Lets open up a boat naming competition. Lets have a Christmas number one song about a sausage roll. Equally silly, lets consider the following photo from the actual real, real world of politics.



One a serious politician. One full of shit. You decide.


So, what's going in the MESBG bin? What should go in the bin? What has gone in the bin that needs digging back out, running under the tap, and putting back in the fruit bowl? Well, the story is here. tldr -pretty much all my favorites are going in the bin. Here's the quote and the direction:



"we are removing the .... profile from the game as no such unit ever appeared in the movies .... and the .... army already has a lot of profiles available"


Erkenbrand. BLAM
Gildor. BLAM
Grimbold - not getting a horse and actually getting BLAM


But that's fine, lists with lots of profiles will be getting their models who aren't in the films blammed too? Like fuck they are. That cunting Gulvahar is not going in the bin. Serious shit that actually existed has been put in the "not in the film" licensing bin. Made-up GW shit for a faction with a new book and loads of models has not gone in the bin. If only I could divert my pure, unbridled rage into hobby action....


The Rage Reaction

Hobby legend and painter extraordinaire Jack Darlington is running an event based on cheese. The crux is you need to bring an allied force, and all forces are considered yellow alliances. I have decided to run the below an an homage to miniatures placed in the Legacy bin:

10 Helminga with Throwing Spears; Shield;
1 Rohan Royal Guard with Throwing Spears; 

Elladan & Elrohir with Elven Cloak; Elf Bow;

If Theres No Cheese In A Cheese Sandwich, Its Basically Just Two Slices Of Bread.

You spend all fing week scrolling on Shein to find that frock, you get to the party and the first person you see, probably the host, is wearing the exact same frock. Or worse still, theirs is like the Versace version and yours is the sweat-shop knock-off version. I mean, FML. Its reputedly the actual reason Hitler invaded Poland, rather than the much repeated assertion that  Mościcki told a poorly judged "your mum" joke.  Also, my face when I flex a list no-one else has ever thought about. Setting the Scene To set the scene, I first painted a Rivendell swordsman back when I started this game in 2019. But never actually used them on the tabletop - I didn't have any 3d printed shields then, so they were rubbish. Now GW has spanked those who would have given someone a bow, spear and shield. So fast forward and the new book has arrived, and I sneakily find that I can take my favorites - THE LORD ELROND, his hot dorter, and a heap of my old plastique elves to fill up 600pts. ...

Does Taking A Theme List Get You "Props"?

Image
or does it get you a complete fisting?  Subtext - if you devise an event that has leanings to a theme or a scene, should you actively support those who Go Go Gadget Theme? On the flip, if you are running a vanilla 90, should you drop the pretext of any kind of theme concession at all - and forget even trying to apply a contextual wrapper around your event? The urge is always stronk. When you're like me - theme as fuck - there's always that voice saying "you're going to get a beating". Now the reason for this post *now* is that you have seen my list for an upcoming 90 where I'm taking complete junk in the name of sticking two finger up at GW. But is anyone else going to rock up on the theme team? And is anyone but me going to appreciate the theme?  Does My Dedication To Theme Ruin "Srs Bzns" Players Fun At Events? So, I went to a one day 90 which normally I wouldn't. It was in Birmingham, which is a bizarre melting pot of fairly seriously non-them...
