Wicked cool diorama, but 'legos' is not a word.

How is it not a word? It's the plural of lego.

No. The plural of lego is lego. Like sheep.

I did a bit of research, and apparently there is no plural of LEGO because it is not to be used as a noun. It's an adjective, and only an adjective. This makes the whole trademark thing easier, apparently. The correct usage would be LEGO bricks or LEGO elements or whatever.

On the other hand, discussing proper grammar on the forum of a game with an intentional misspelling in it's name is rather silly.

Yeah, I'm quite tolerant with grammatical errors, as I make may too (although english is not my native language in my defense), but this thing just annoys me when it happens.

Anyway, it was only a minor nitpick.

THERE IS SO MUCH STUFF IN THAT BOX HOLY SHIT.
Black Reach is way better than the previous 40K starter set, Battle for Macragge. I should have waited for it, I have a space marine army and one more squad of terminators and an extra dreadnought would be really handy, not to mention that you can never have enough marines... Orks force is also nice

@Zahru: Nice haul, interesting Imperial swine parts.

Someone saying Legos is kind of awkward embarrassing though, like a 40 year old guy saying dude or awesome... uh, anyway my point being Zahru is just helping out. That is a freakishly aweso... um, fantastic Skaturnalia battle you have Pwnerade, thanks for showing it off.

@Killer Karetsu: Sorry, invalid argument, Warhammer is not 40K and you don't get many players with a Space Marine Army in a fantasy battle, unless someone has a sense of humour, which just can't be. It's a Games Workshop game, the humour would need stats and a codex and all sorts of expensive marketing and stuff. Or it'd have to be houseruled and agreed on befoore play commenced. :wink:

I meant here in Finland.
But whit what I said I meant 40k and fantasybattles, the only difference is rules, collecting is same. And you were talking about buying miniatures for nothing, and I answered that in my previous post.
BTW I have actually put together a spacemarine with a shield and a sword :D
NO!THERE ARE NO POLAR BEARS IN FINLAND!!!

I believe the proper usage is "its." No apostrophe.

Used some of my Year End Bonus to place a Brick Forge order and a Brick Link order and a couple of buy now posts from ebay. :D

My Son and I are going to both see new stuff in our Kingdom armies as well as some new stuff for my Brikwars armies.

@Stubby, I loved the cartoon you posted once before regarding it's and its. I printed it out and posted it.
