Oh wait, on further listening, I hear it’s painter-gate!

It looks like Nathan found out why certain armies do better than others with the amount of terrain on the table.
Ironically one of the tournaments that has good terrain is the Nova Open which you played the scenarios from in the Jolly Roger Toys Outing.
In the US we have gone to a more independent GT format with people putting on tournaments for large numbers of people, and they just do not have the time, the energy or the storage for that kind of terrain that will only be used once a year. It is getting a lot better at the bigger major tournaments (Adepticon, Wargames Con, and Nova Open) but some of the others it is pretty sparse.
Same this way buddy, but our surprise was that it was warhammer world where the terrain was sparse. There are a lot of gaming clubs which have smaller tournaments, somewhere between 40 and 50 where they have enough terrain to make dark eldar seem almost invisible as they already use that terrain on gaming nights, but that isn’t perhaps the standard.
