Also from the assembly frenzy

So, there I was looking for a weight to counterbalance my absurdly top-heavy Stormblades Standard Bearer. Most of my gaming stuff remains packed up, so I was scrounging. And I figure, hey, a penny is about the right size, let's give it a whirl.

Take penny.
Take GW-standard wire cutters.

Now, I'm not the strongest guy, but I figured I could handle this. I didn't realize that pennies were made of titanium layered with adamantium.

Prong of the wire cutters snap right off and shoot through the air. Penny *barely* has a scratch on it.

...

Didn't get a chance to prime this weekend, maybe today, bebe-permitting.

  • You know, weight-for-weight and composition-for-composition, a penny is the most valuable coin we produce, right?

    It has more intrinsic value than any other monetary unit we produce. That being said, I'll gladly trade you my pennies for your quarters.

  • Heh. thats funny PMMJ. Too bad you don't have video for it.

    Now Pennies are GREAT for adding weight to GW fully plastic minis. But I don't think I'll be trying to cut pennies any time soon. Esepcially with GW wire cutters.
