Mama won't believe it! GW sent me a Terminator head looking tape measure, and this set of 8 giant (2x2) hard plastic gaming tiles/terrain boards, detailed (but unpainted) in a large carry case!

Awesome! I love the GW!

What are you doing for them in exchange? Run more demos to suck in future GW customers?

The tape measure is that mechanical servo-skull with the red optic thingy on top right?

What are you doing for them in exchange?

Probably sending them $400 USD (or the equivalent in Mongolian tögrög).

Smokey do you have to sign anything in blood?

smokeyroan and GW have a great relationship apparently.

Not sure why they are still trying to seduce you, since it appears you have fallen under their evil spell some time ago…….

The Horror !!!

You did better than me.

I hooked a snapper (I think you would call it a seabream or porgy) which I had on for more than 5 minutes, two smoking runs and it spat out the jerk shad. The jig hook was completely crushed. I'd never seen anything like it.

I'd sell my soul to GW for a solid hook up.

Cheers,
JohnG

I liked Mad Monkey's post, before it was bleeped.

Essentially, he is stating quite emphatically that you have very loose, moral values, assuming you have any at all, for those that didn't get to see the original posting.

Just wait till they send you the bill, or wake up with a bloody horse head next to you.

LOL, Mad Monkey's post was a quite funny way to get dawhoused.

Chris Walkley10 Jul 2012 3:36 a.m. PST

Wouldn't an actual GW fan know to describe it as a servo-skull tape measure…?

I really don't understand the point of this thread, unless it is for people to practice finding the 'stifle' option.

When he sold his soul he felt like he got a bargain. After all, he really wasn't using it at the time.

Spread the love, Smokey. Send the top 8 posters a terrain board each. They can all play DBA with added 28mm skullzz.

smokeyroan Inactive Member10 Jul 2012 5:49 a.m. PST

No! Mad Minkey got dawghawsed for THAT? UNFAIR!

smokeyroan Inactive Member10 Jul 2012 5:50 a.m. PST

Platypus, that sucks! Try the circle hook jigs! They are about 90+ % on hookups!

Redroom10 Jul 2012 5:59 a.m. PST

Very cool news Smokey, grats on the free swag.

Personal logo CPT Jake Supporting Member of TMP10 Jul 2012 6:19 a.m. PST

Congrats, sounds like a good haul of loot!

"Terminator head looking tape measure"

That would be a servo-skull.

platypus01au Supporting Member of TMP10 Jul 2012 3:20 p.m. PST

Thanks Smokey! I'd never heard of circle hook jigs before. Just googled them up. Don't know if I can get them in Oz, but I'll be looking.

Can we see a photo of the terrain boards when you have painted them?

Thanks,
JohnG

Well far from being offended and not considering it a vulgarity I found mad monkey 1's response quite amusing . Robert

Topkick89010 Jul 2012 7:31 p.m. PST

Careful people….calling shenanigans on a Dawghousing is a Dawghousing offense I believe

mashrewba12 Jul 2012 7:03 a.m. PST

Mad Monkey is the Man -I got Dawghoused for Vulgarity -best way to get in there- and I got to see the groovy woman doing the groovy song.
