ah yes the infamous master crafted predator story. I built one based on this story, though it has a quad lascannon (old rapier gun) to represent the mastercrafted twin linked lascannon. Close behind are the Land Waider for Necwons, the Kroot Sharper and Deli-Fish, and Trinidad Warriors. Though Blood Bowel ranks high.

For the uninitiated, these are all actual things said by kids regarding GW stuff at the store.

Haha, oh yes this reminds me of an epic youngin battle I saw this summer...

A 10 man marine squad SINGLE HANDEDLY destroyed a Land raider in close combat...




Let me finish...



The squad had no special weapons or wargear of any kind and all the units had strength 4 weapons.
It was at this time I felt obligated to give a lesson in how to play 40k.

The feeling is mutual, my good man.

Oh, and I have a few things to add:

QQ - An emoticon intended to look like eyes with teardrops coming out of them, which is usually intended to call someone a crybaby, or to chastise them for whining about something.

PEWPEW - Shooting. Especially with lasers.

GG - Good game. A phrase used when you have totally and utterly schooled someone, but you want to be diplomatic. Also used to indicate one's resignation to fate after having been defeated in meritorious battle.

PWN - To defeat your opponent in battle, to see your enemies driven before you, to hear the lamentations of their women....

WTFPWN - To utterly humiliate your opponent by defeating them so soundly in battle that they had no idea what hit them, let alone what tactical error(s) led them to defeat. Something similar to Carl Winslow shooting that crazy blond-haired dude not once, but like five times, in Die Hard when he goes after our good friend John McClane.
