It means he got an A+ (US) score equivalent on his bachelor degree. I'm not sure if he had to write and defend a thesis for that (which is then given a score) like here, but that's what I'd assume.

How about, the toughest 2.5K list you can make using: staff of sorcery on a lvl 4, balefire corpse cart. I also want enough punch to kill two chimera or two steggadons on the same turn. I also want to be able to fight an ogre buss. And have enough chaff to block up the enemy from charges I dont want them to have (something like 3 wolves and 1-3 SHs)
Here's what can't be in the army: no more than 3 ethereal units/characters, no more than 3 red fury or quickblood total, Max 4 flyers, Max 12 black knights, 0-1 TG, Max 14 CHs, 450 point limit on non character units.
Enough limitations? Lol. I'm not afraid to use blood knights and they pack one hell of a punch, I'm not saying they have to be in the list, but I know a lot of GT players are afraid to use them since they're 50pts a model.
Here's just one list I came up with:
VL: lvl4, 4+ ward, ogre blade, dragonhelm, red fury, quickblood, barded nightmare, hvy armor, shield
Necro: lvl 1, dispel scroll
40 ghouls: champ
3x 5 wolves
2x 20 Zombies: banner
corpse cart: balefire, spear
2x single SH
11 Black Knights: barding, lances, banner, champ, banner of the barrows
6 Vargheists
4 Vargheists
TG
There's no staff of sorcery
but there's punch from the ghouls and from the BKs, also the TG is a good monster slayer without even being in combat. I'll try to build a list with 2 units of 6 blood knights.

Yeah Nightreaver is right I got 12(A+) on my final thesis in my bachelor degree. The bachelor is in 'The Study of Religion' - and now I start my Master in History. And thanks guys 
@Corien: Haha, though I'm all grown up and stuff I'm still a child in my heart 
Well actually the studying is kind of a side thing for me since I'm already pretty busy being a film director(sadly there isn't a lot of money when you start out). So the big dream is making a breakthrough film at some point, but that will take time. Until then, I'm pretty content with my current job at the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs(I work in Human Resources), but when I get my Master's degree I will try to see if I can get a Phd. as well, and if not I might go into teaching, until I can make a living of making movies(crossing fingers and working hard ).

Well I wish you the best! Do you have a list of films you've directed. I'm not a foriegn film fan but I have a buddy who is so we will grow your popularity here in the U.S. the best we can!
@Corien: Thanks Haha, I always find it funny to be categorized "foreign film" - somehow it's very US-centric(although I know you mean nothing by it). I cannot in my wildest dreams imagine a dane saying: "I'm not that much into foreign films" although they will frequently say: I'm not into hollywood I do love hollywood however and I strive to make genre films with a good production value.
I've done a bunch of smaller things like commercials, music videos and the like, but what I really care about is my fiction. I don't think you can get it in the US but my last short "Iblis: Prometheus" is out on the compilation dvd "Supernatural Tales" and can be bought through my distributor's website: http://www.anotherworldent.com/
At the moment I'm finishing two things:
1. my next film called "Inhuman" which I will crowdfund through Indiegogo, so I'll post a link when the campaign is set up.
2. A Chef Web Series called Kokfather (kok means chef in danish )

Well Sunny, Not sure if you realize this but Americans are God's gift to Earth and all of the world revolves around everything we do! :lol:
As far as foriegn films go, you see, if it's not from the U.S. then it all goes into its own catagory. There is no Foriegn Sci Fi, Foriegn Romance, Foriegn Mystery. Its all just a lump sum that most people don't feel like watching since it wasn't made in America.
Also another reason why movies made in other countries are less popular in America is because Americans are really lazy. I do not want to have to read subtitles in order to watch a movie, and there is no way on gods green earth that I'm going to learn a foriegn language! I mean the rest of the world should have to learn English damnit! (and Americanized English, not this real British English crap!).
Sorry, had to vent about my distaste for this country. It's not a bad place to live, there are just a lot of bad people who live here.
Anyways! I'll check those out for sure and show my buddy! We'll make you a Hollywood director yet buddy!

I envy you Sunny. I only got a 4(B) on my bachelor's because no one at my uni has any real understanding of anti-terrorism (which my thesis was about) and none of my reviewers or examiners were really into sociology of morality or ethics. One of the guys even said that it's outright bad because he didn't know any of the authors I was quoting...
@Corien: Haha - have a rep for trashing the US, better that you do it yourselves than we 'foreigners' do it
@Nightreaver: Sorry to hear it buddy. I don't think anyone knew the authors I quoted in my thesis, but that is to be expected when you write about something very specific. I wrote about the Franks' attitude towards the natives in the Levant from 1099 - 1187.

@Sunny: Oh yeah, You are not allowed to trash the U.S. Only we can! FYI Ignore the PM response I replied before reading this. But Thanks!!
@Nightreaver: Atleast you have your bachelors! I'm still chugging away at it while working to support a family! Ugh it's tough but it'll be worth it in about 7 years!

Oh no you got that wrong my dear friend Excellent for getting that 1 flaming wound on a HPA before you pepper it with poison attacks
Excellent for getting that 1 flaming wound on a HPA before you pepper it with poison attacks
I agree with the volume of fire but I don't see how Javelins change that? The range does not concern me at all since these badboys march 20" and I plan on getting them ON THE OPPOSITE side of the enemy battleline
...not enough skirmishers. Total board control is found through skirmishers core, and volume of fire.
I tend to agree BBB, but I feel that if I fill core with Skirmishers I don't have my beloved Saurus block which is the anchor to my army.
Why not do both then!! You aren't limited to 25% for core, You're just required to have 25% core. You'll be eating into your fun toys but what good are fun toys when you don't have a solid foundation to play with them on!
Well sunnymeister,
make a 2000 points list out of the 4th edition undead book *lol* (as it was before the VC & TK era and plenty of special characters.)

No..I like Sunny's list. All skirmisher core is 'ass' in my humble opinion. We have a good player in our tournament meta who fields that. Everyone in my club hates to play him. Nice guy but he doesn't make for a fun game. At what point do you sacrifice fun just to be the winner ALL the time?
Total point denial games are crap. It might give you some giggles but you won't endear yourself to the other hobbyist.
