It's a bad question because WAACing almost always involves blatant cheating.

Blatant (this is the important part) cheating can be fun. Just trying to bluff each other into accepting bullshit. WAAC just sounds like trying and trying isn't cool.

WAAC: makes games bad, stupid, lovely, unfun, etc.

Blatant cheating: hilarious, fun, keeps your opponents on their toes, leads to funny callouts

As long as cheating is blatant, it's usually entertaining.

WAACing is just cancer. As is sneaky cheating.

Also known as min/maxing, the devils numbers, grogslayers, or like, knowing the game and playing it to it's limits.

Win At All Costs is different from just playing competitively. At All Costs means cheating is still on the table IMO.

I've always taken WAAC to mean the kind of players who make the game absolutely unbearable as an opponent. Sure, winning is, at some level, the object of almost every player, when going into a game, but there's a line.

In a competitive tournament, who cares, but in a "friendly" pickup game, no one want's to deal with your Invisible Ravenwing 2+ re-rollable jink plus Invisible Thunderwolf & Wulfen spam list.

The Tarantula option in the FW Index includes a twin assault cannon variant, right? I'm not crazy?

I e-mailed FW asking about it and they said it doesn't exist.

Just use kromlech man. I've been using them recently and I like the sculpts.

They have the full set, it's just their razorback turrets that they put on a little tripod.

IG doesn't have it but the marine one does. I think IG is just heavy bolter and lascannon, marines also have multimelta and assault cannon options. It's in the printed index.

Can any experienced modelers help me out?

I want to try kitbashing but I think the models I have in mind might be troublesome. I want to do a mounted Wolf Lord but incorporate parts from the Wulfrik the Wanderer fantasy model - namely his head and his sword. However I discovered he's metal. Does anyone know how many pieces he's in, and what those pieces are? Or is he one solid piece? If so what do you guys use to cut metal models? Is it even worth the effort?

I think that's enough skulls to satisfy Danzig.


I don't know if it's part of the rules but my local store has always played Bloodbowl as cheating is okay but if you get caught your turn ends immediately.
