    Thank you all for helping in making this forum a more productive exchange of opinions/ideas. Once all the gray smudges have been erased, its easier to read between the lines.

    While we are on the topic of interpretation I would like to reiterate a comment I made earlier. I dont beleive that painting is the only aspect of this hobby. Sure its a main part because the entire system is revolved around little toys that we must assemble and attempt to paint. Perhaps I was expressing my disdain for several gamers that I have encountered lately who are rule lawyers and extreme competitors but at the same time are gluing together models in thier army while im trying to do my movement phase. Or spraying so much zip kicker around that I want to just pack up and leave. These people are undeserving of a good natured opponent who has a beautiful army (excuse me sir did you just spray zip on my forge world daemon prince?).

    But please except my apology for making a hasty connection between the people that enjoy the extreme gaming aspect of the hobby and the disrespectful "army neglectors". Its ok if ones army is not to eavy metal standards. What I mean is its not ok to come to a tournament with units that you just spray painted outside 5 minutes before, or a 60 strong zombie regiment made up of plastic bases. Or ridiculous proxies (yea this black spray painted drinking cup is my drop pod).

    The game is a competition. Dont mean to get all philosophical on you all but could human beings continue to exist without competition? But one thing that some have forgotten is honor. Honor for your opponent and honor for yourself. Sorry Baratok I tried not to drag other things into this topic. But maybe somebody reading this will know exactly what I mean. Or maybe someone will read this and realize they are a "army neglector" and a disrespectful opponent.

    Hope I incurred even the slightest change in maybe one persons perspective on this glorious hobby of ours.

    Its a nasty substance that is sprayed on superglue to make it bond instantly. It is basically poison and should be used outdoors.

    It also makes it dry more akin to PVA glue; in a big thick blob. This has the effect of obscuring detail, or possibly gap filling if you use it well, but overall it isn't that great. I basically never use mine anymore. I'm pretty sure it also makes the bond a bit weaker as well.

    Interesting point about life itself being a competition. I say yes. That is how we evolve and improve. And I guess you never enter a game of warhammer hoping to lose, even if you aren't particularly concerned either way and just want a fun game, it is a game and you play to see who wins.
