It doesn't seem that any one has used the term "Primer" yet. That's another term they use on their product.

Nope, don't care. They're dead, and then they get resurrected for little/no reason (next round).

As long as the Units section and Puuka's Battle Planner keep up, I don't care what they're called. I only need to know if I have them or not.

I've noticed some more common misuse of terms. Figured I would give this a bump.

Honestly, WK is starting to kind of lose me here.....................

I know what every single item is by its correct terminology. I still call em what I call em. And when some 'smart' guy shows up to correct me, I keep callin' em what I want to call em.

Often times whatever Wizkids chooses to call something the first time is what sticks. It's why most players I know refer to the powers with a black box around the stat as a 'White Power' and why older players see 'AE' and immediately think 'Arch Enemy'.

They called them Gravity Feeds, then Counter Top Displays, then Primer sets. I will still call them Gravity Feeds and every player I know calls them that as well.

If Wizkids weren't so schitzo with their marketing strategies, there might not be confusion.

He probably meant "Archenemy".

Oh, I see..... wow. haven't used an old Archenemy piece since I last played Blackbolt for Nova Bomb... been a while.

Cant even begin to think about the last time I saw the right Archenemy figs play against each other...
