you created the thread and then waited just 24 hours before making what felt like a sarcastic remark about the lack of a response. i'd hardly compare that to "pulling teeth".

so when you said "Thank y'all for all the help." - before even receiving
any replies - what "help" were you talking about? if reading that as sarcasm is to do so "the wrong way", then what was the
right way to take it?
besides, even if "people do not have the right to not be offended", they certainly
do have the right not to reply to your posts. if you actually want constructive responses then you
need to consider that.

um, since when did AoS become an "adults-only" forum? i think you'l find that the forum rules say: "This site is used by people of all ages."
i think you need to re-read the Sticky in the New Members forum.
ThePatriot wrote:... Been through too much of that popularity bs to even be concerned with it at my nearly 4 decades of life.
but you are the one asking (expecting?) others to help
you - if you arent even going to consider their feelings when you type, dont you think that might be a problem?
now, i know your thread on Warseer didnt go the way you hoped, and i
do sympathise. however, i think you should take a moment to cool off before posting again, to help make sure you dont take that out on anyone
here.
Age Of Strife might be a quiet place to visit, but its a nice community with a good atmosphere - and I for one would like to keep it like that. any more problems with this thread tonight and i will Lock it while it is discussed between the Mods & Admin.
EDIT:
ThePatriot wrote:...even if someone doesn't render help you still thank them. It's called common courtesy and a lost art in this day and age of pc walk on eggshells talking.
If you hadn't noticed, but I accepted your reasons for not replying through silent ascension.
so you thank people even before
anyone has responded, but remain silent to someone who
does reply?
anyway, lets try to draw a line under all that and get this thread back on topic: choosing Doctrines (etc) for using those ranges as
IG - if anyone has anything to add then they will (if they
want to, of course).

that makes sense. il be honest, i didnt get that from your
OP - i thought you were going to keep just the poses and the uniforms of the AWI models but update them with "modern"
40K weaponry and wargear.
a "backwards" planet does offer lots of opportunties to deviate from the norm - did you read that fluff piece about Uriah Jacobus leading medieval style knights to quell a rebellion (or something like that... i read it was a while ago, but the "Brettonia meets
40K" image has stuck with me ever since)?
ThePatriot wrote:Ahh I see that you were talking about Adriadnas and not AWI for Light Infantry. Makes sense and I like the doctrines you've picked out since they make sense.
cheers.
ThePatriot wrote:The thing that is heavily influencing me to go with the AWI or the Adriadna is the price. For me to field an 1850 force of AWI costs about $500 and for Adriadna about $1,000.
is that based on a purely infantry force, or have you considered adding normal
IG tanks etc? Chimeras, Hellhounds and other tanks can all eat up points quickly (without using up Doctrines), allowing you to play big games without needing lots of models.
and is that the only size game you play? ive quite enjoyed 1,000 and 1,250 pts games (with the standard size ive played being 1,500) - dropping the pts level would also help you field a cool looking characterful force using expensive infantry models without breaking the bank.
you mentioned
SoB too - if you fielded the force as allies alongside a
WH army then that would also cut down on the costs involved.
(ive planned an Arbites
CP and a
PDF army - by incorperating the Arbites (
WH) into the
PDF (
IG) as allies that means i will need to buy less models overall without having to play smaller games with the main army).
ThePatriot wrote:AWI is half the cost and being blue collar puts the Adriadna out of my price range for a full army. Maybe as a
CP or a
KT I'll do them later.
does that mean that the Adriadna are definately out of the equation? do you want to concentrate on the AWI (even if it means fewer responses/less interested) from now on?
cheers
