YouTube link If Henry Cavill can have one too, I don't feel so bad. |

True that At least that's one thing we have in common! |

True. Nice to see a handsome, successful public figure that will admit to miniature gaming. I always liked Cavill and now I like him more. |

Not sure why it should be considered a grey pile of shame. It's like money in the bank, you're not using that either, but it's there if you need it. |

Never heard "the grey pile of shame" before. Lead pile, yes. |

Texaswalker, I've been known to refer to the "Strategic Casting Reserve"--but you can't really call it that if you want or need them for games you're currently fighting or want to fight and they aren't table-ready. rusty, be nice. Cavill is a GW player, and you have to make allowances. |

It's a "grey pile of shame" because it's GW plastic. |

First hearing it as such, usually just pile o' shame, but I consider it a poetic step up. As for the particulars, I am torn. Ever since they referred to their product as 'the Games Workshop hobby,' gag. But I have shares in a brick-and-mortor which does a thriving business, and Kroot are go-to for parrotmen, so I hold my nose. And take anti-emetics. Cavill seems stand up, and I live in a glass fortification. Doug |
