my Dark Angels are flocked in a ashen wastes scheme... my Grey Knights are done up so that it looks like they're walking on burning coals, though i prefer the "heraldric" look myself.

if you've any desire to part with your collection, PM me or email me... i may be intrested in purchasing some of your vast collection.

I'd love to get rid of it... its just the logistics problem.

Hmmm, if I ever think of a solution...

$700 for a model? Eeek!

[Drogue]

And I thought it wass bad when i had to pay £40 for a Destroyer tank, although that was 40k version 2 rules. Why so much money? I mean sure they're a lot bigger, but over hear you can buy prepackaged 2000pt armies for under £200 ($300).

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.

I know what you mean. I'd love to play, but everyone plays 4th ed rules. I started at 2nd and did 1 game with 3rd (didn't like it as much though) but stopped a few years ago. I had a 3000pt Orc army, but I never got round to painting the 40 gretchen that were part of it.

it's more of the modeling thing for me.... i prefer to labor away at my minis, rather than buy some soulless bits of plastic and lead... painted by some stranger's hand...

4th is out in england? huh... we don't get it here until the end of this year. they're fixing hand to hand combat finally... hopefully they'll bring ramming back, too... tank shock just doesn't do it for me.

Perhaps next time I come to England...?

for some reason i've gotten it up my ass to convert a land raider: (shown below) into a leman russ tank. i'm currently thinking about turrets for said tank.

ryza pattern turret:


gryphone pattern turret:


stygies pattern turret:


land raider:
(side view)


(three quarter view)


this will result in a bigger, beefier leman russ... but which turret should i use?

this old wave serpent, day three

i bought this thing for a friend's birthday back in may of last year. it hadn't been out of the box until i told him i'd paint it for him for christmas. now for today's episode of this old wave serpent.


[see redux]

as always these pictures are courtesy the sprint crappy picture phone.

youre comments are welcome.

[Jamski]

Its GOT to be the Ryza pattern turret. The others have too long a barrel length for the trackbase, especially mounted so high. Its a bit more blocky, but it looks more "realistic".

Bill Fogerty???????

the trackbase is going to be larger because i'm using the landraider as a base... but the vanquisher turrets have those storm bolters, and i think they look silly.

i've got a "this old wave serpent" thread on another site... it was a joke, but i've done some of my best work yet on this wave serpent.


and introducing sergeant hamlet:

[self biased]

more of sergeant hamlet.





but why is he already named? just look at him. it should become obvious when i give hin the skull in his right hand. "alas poor yorrick..."

[Frankychan]

Cool pics.

I had a Valhallan Imperial Guard unit. Painted them to look like a variant of communist red guards. They all had red cloaks, 3 Leman Russ', 1 Chimera, and 1 Demolisher. (along with some Ratling snipers)

It was great when my friends who also had Imp. Guard Armies all banded together against my friend with a big a** Dark Angel Space Marine army.......we almost lost. rofl.

[self biased]

thanks. the lads over at portent like my conversion work, as well.

and also, for what perverse reason do i like the flying base more than anything else on that wave serpent?

[self biased]

a table top wargame. you buy models, assemble, paint, and then play.

[Frankychan]

Rofl.

What is your Chapter for the Space marines? Dark Angel or a custom one?

(BTW, I like the marine w/the lightning claws)

But my Commissar could whoop his a**!!!
