I think he's talking about the one in the oil...or water or something

I can *kinda* see it but I'm not too sure either

I know its not a 40k model bu I couldn't resist posting this
its called an AC, and its from the Armored Core series of video games. This guy is a character from Armored Core Nexus and basically, he's a badass

also I got a camera so this is me testing it out

That looks like an earthshaker cannon on his shoulder......NICE!

I'm trying to come up with rules for it, maybe thats what I'll count the grenade launchers as XD

I have played a few times before and i love the way it's a bit harder and a lovely way to practise painting. Though i'm not going to stop 40K clearly, how could you. I'm just going to dabble in a bit of fantasy.

Yeah fantasy is good but now lots of core are needed for an army meaning you have to spend more money :(.
Yeah to date i have collected 2 fantasy armies versus 4 40k armies

Fantasy seems cool but with 40k being as expensive as it is, I don't think I can afford another hobby D:

although warmachine seems cool...and cheaper...

also, now that I've got my camera I've been going nuts, here's on of my pics :D

Looks awesome i love ur ork, but i dont think (refering to ur words) that games workshop stores support warmachine.
Anyway new fantasy isnt a have to do im not doing it, its too expensive.

thank you :D the pic is kinda dark but I do have photoshop so I can make the quality better....
also, I know that GW doesn't have War Machine, I'm just saying that if I were to get into another game that would be it

but if I did get into fantasy, I'm torn between Lizardmen,Skaven, and Bretonia

and here's another :D

because I can...

Ah the classic black(grey) knights he looks good, i would say in the new rules Bretonia are now playable, like Ogres now are aswell.

Ooo which patterns?
Sweet army list man that looks killer, i have had a sudden urge to battle recently. I don't know whether it's just the unusually warm weather we have been having here in britain or the copious amounts of coca-cola i have been drinking recently but i definitely need to do something warhammer based this week.

Loooong sentence is LOOOOOOOOONG!

they're just basic leman russes, good enough at killing things as it is, and since I've also got a manticore and I don't think I need that much firepower anymore XD although you can never have too much firepower

I've been wanting to game to but looking at my how my painting skills have improved, it seems to me that my tau look like CRAP and now I don't want to game with them DL I'm going to repaint them when my guard army is finished though, I just need to find a way to srip the paint off of plastics

last game I played was about a month and a half ago, its been a while

long cat is looooooooooong!

Guys finished my golden deamon young bloods - opted to paint a grave guard instead of voystryns it looks really nice, will post up pics tommorow.

:Also nice army list

Uploading to NG is too much hassle with pics so here is link to my thread with them on on dakka dakka.
Mah Games Day Mini

Also cuz of all the feedback from dakka im making another mini with well everything that i said in one of my botttom posts.

I like how your model's armor ang weapon looks a but dirty and aged without looking crappy, I've seen people try to do that but end up failing at it...

and the actual bones are great! it doesn't quite look like solid white, it looks a little more like marble

For the sword rust if you want to know you drybrush over SCORCHED BROWN then you stipple over VERMIN BROWN then stipple over FIERY ORANGE, wash with OGRYN FLESH then finally stipple with FIERY ORANGE its really quite simple.

sounds nice...I might try it with an ork sometime...

also, I found an AMAZING cleaning product thingy that you can use to strip paint on models
( I don't know what the technical term is lol)

its called simple green, and I found it at a home depot,
my dad and I stuck a terminator and captain from the black reach set, we got the paint AND primer off of the termie, and just the paint from the captain, but we'll see what happens...

and it also strips the paint and primer from metal too, we tried it with a space marine's head from an inquisitor model

Hi I play Imperial Guard and I was wondering if anyone could give me help on making Valkyries Its the latest thing I need to make for my army but the instructions look really complicated.

I've made a valkyrie before, I followed the instructions it came with and mine came out with only one thing wrong...

the back door wouldn't close so I had to glue it -_- but I suggest you put rubber bands around the hull when you glue it (if you haven't already) to make sure its tight

hope that helps

Thanks dude

can i join guys?
I love mordheim, but that is warhammer
I also have a small space marine salamanders army ( 1200 pts )
that i often use.

your welcome fireball, I hope that valkyrie comes out well

and schumaccercat, we can always have more members, I've never played mordheim but a friend gave me the rulebook and it looks pretty fun

I like salamanders and wanted to do a salamanders army but I think there's too much power armor going around, -_- another time...

welcome to the crew

Yeah you can join on one condition, you post pictures of your guys (just joking you don't have to but it's cool if you do).
And also 1200pts isn't a small force i've had my 1000 points of marines for a couple months and only recentley expanded to 1350pts and only need devastators until 1500, so i wouldn't put yours down as a small force. And also people at my store only play 1000 points.

Oh yeah im going to America on saturday and won't post again till after it (2 weeks) so expect me to be silent until August the 10th/11th

I just got off the phone with my dad, he got the news late (which means that I got it late) but we won an auction for the old school 80's chaos noise marine

here's an example of one looks like...

I got myself a noise marine and I'm gonna have FUN with it XD

Got the assualt on black reach and hobby starter set my Orkz look pretty sweet though the space marine I did is so bad.

HOLY EMPEROR! That is crazy awesome i love the cheeky storm bolter attachment.

minus the "slannesh" thing on his backpack, I believe this pic completely resembles an unconverted noise marine, I have plans to either paint mine using a punk theme (checkers, patterns, plaids...) or an 80s theme (brightly colored body parts to resemble spandex XD)

Sweet I got that when I think it was the 5th edition rules were released as the rules weren't too different. So we got black reach which had a smaller rule book so I didn't have to by the new rule book and it came with lots of small plastic things, which I find very fun.

my dad and I bought the rulebook as soon as it came out since we couldn't wait to play with the new rules, then we bought black reach as soon as it came out for the models...and smaller rulebook

we mostly use the smaller rulebook now XD

Im afraid i had already gone to start getting suitcases into the car by the time you replied.
And to answer your question i was in Orlando, Florida.
It was really good.
But now to get back to new Games Day mini and Games Day under 15 art comp.

allright guys here I am with some announcements,

One, on saturday I bought myself a copy of Space Hulk, (yeah I found one) and lucky me it was the last copy over at my "local" Games Workshop, I've got all the models assembled and I've played a game, its really fun! I'm going to have to wait a while before I paint them though since I've got plenty of steel legion guardsmen to work on...

Now for my other announcement, unless you've been living under a rock but there is a warhammer 40,000 video game coming out called Space Marine, its been in development for a while and although it hasn't been confirmed, I've heard rumours of an early 2011 release date.
I go onto Bell Of Lost Souls a lot and they posted THIS just today, take a look
