  • the games workshop thread

    seeing as it's somehow lacking... i'm going to start one up. anything games workshop goes here. wanna crusify Gav Thorpe? i want intimate details. discuss new minis, tactics and post your own conversions and paint jobs here.


    what i'm currently pondering is a forge world purchase. and it's a doosey. should i get a thunderhawk, or a warhound titan?


    thunderhawk:

    more pictures.

    the pinnacle forgeworld model for space marine players. "Armed with Lascannons, Heavy Bolters, Hellstrike missiles, a Battle Cannon or Turbo Laser, and carrying up to 30 fully armoured Space Marine troops, the Thunderhawk Gunship measures 19 inches/480mm long and 17 inches/440mm wide." a good sized model.

    pros: i'll be able to use it in a game of 40k. it'll also look f*cking impressive in any display case you'd care to think of.
    cons:
    "The US$ price for customers wishing to place an order by check is $640.00 + $50.00 express UPS shipping to US."

    warhound titan:

    more pictures

    think big. scary. that would be even the smallest of titans. "A extremely detailed model of the Lucius Pattern Warhound Titan 'Sanctus Venator' commanded by Princeps Hagan Raal. This model stands approximately 250mm/10.5 inches high depending on how the legs are constructed. not as large as the thunderhawk... but close.

    pros:
    "The US$ price for customers wishing to place an order by check is $465.00 + $50.00 express UPS shipping to US. " not nearly as expensive by about $175. it'd also look nice next to the phantom titan on the coffee table.
    cons: it'd be more or less a display piece. unless i wanted to start up a guard army. i suppose i could do something with my daemonhunters... but inquisitors don't normally get access to titan legions... do they?


    so apolyton... here there be games workshop.

    OFMG!!!!!!!!!

    What lunatic would use titans or dropships in a 40K game? How many points is a Warhound worth ? What could stop it? (other imperial armoured vehicles perhaps, if they don't get slagged first before the WH loses its sheilds.

    And don't Warhounds normally operate in pairs...

    AAAAAGH!

        warhammer 40,000, space. there's a yearly mega battle in new hampshire that i've gone once to. that's where i'd use them... besides... display pieces are always fun.

            Yeesh.
            I didn't know they had such models for 40K. I have a couple of Warhounds and an Imperator but that's for Epic scale.
            Best bet - Make the models up yourself from old bits'n'pieces. Save the cash for the new table you'll need to deploy them on.

            Nice marines. Are they Dark Angels?

              yeah. they are dark angels of a specific army. i didn't like the all green scheme when i first started painting, so when experimenting with second-generation marines, i painted a beakey marine with an ivory faceplate. it stuck, and became the army badge.

              as for the gaming table, my roommate used to own a game store here in town, and we've got a full table in the attic, and two in the cellar. complete with terrain.

              the titan and thunderhawk... bitz? plasticard? no. that's waaay too ambitious for my skill level... although i might make one of the newer titans to dwarf the phantom... but that's a project for next year.... thinking of which i should go check ebay.

                    Its a very expensive hobby, not quite as expensive as Cocaine, but close.

                    Unless you cast your own pirate figures.

                              Lots:
                              W40K:
                              About 3,500 points Eldar
                              About 5,000 points Guard
                              About 4,500 points Ultramarines
                              Epic 40K:
                              About 35,000 points Guards
                              About 20,000 points Ultramarines
                              About 15,000 points Eldar
                              About 10,000 points Squats
                              About 40,000 points Titans
                              WFB:
                              All kinds of stuff.

                              Its all painted to about the standard of the pictures here, but maybe more "heraldic" in look than "battlefield" if you know what I mean, on nice green-flocked bases (better than yours ) and there's a stack of unpainted stuff too.
                              The Guard armies are really huge amounts of figures, almost entirely infantry...

                              and did you ever think of returning...?
                              I'd LOVE to, if I had my figures and books here, if I had a set of opponents here, and if everyone was prepared to play on the old rules. I won't buy anymore though.
