Once there was a black and white space marine....

The joke idea is not a good one.

Actually, I dibs doing next week's joke.
Also, I found a document left to me by Araksi proclaiming me as his replacement for the next few weeks.

To which I say that I am honoured, and shall rule with an iron fist. My first change is that the weekly joke will be replaced with some daily propaganda.

BEHAVE
OR
BEHEAD!

Your new overlord,
HadoukenAvenger.

Allright HA... you da boss. Entertain us, or be a pell!

On the up side, without seeing his trucks awsomeness, I can get some work on things beside that dang Dread done.

FIGHT FOR YOUR KING
OR
DIE FOR YOUR IGNORANCE

Today's propaganda brought to you by the number 4 and the letters GW.

@monkeytroll: Thanks as always. Managed to bring IA8 (1.7kg!) - so am hopeful of additional inspiration... (of course, watching Predators and Iron Man 2 on the plane helps too...)

@Artsoldier35: Glad you like the hood ornament, and thanks.

@The Good Green: Thanks. I need to flesh out my plasticard Happy to be an inspiration!

@CommissarKhaine: I'll doubly make sure it's fine before basecoating You do do a brlliant orange...

@HadoukenAvenger: Radio antenna is a great idea - adding it to the list! (and thanks!) Reading along, I see someone has self appointed themselves to update my plog.... funny, I don't remember leaving any documents... don't you have your own plog to update? *hint* *hint*.

@Santobell: Antenna tied down - adding to the list. I was already considering flags/banner for RPJ, though not from an antenna... it's funny you mention lucky (fluffy?) dice - I had had that idea myself - though SM helmets would seem a lot more appropriate . Added. Didn't you think my previous Trukk's showed enough movement? Still - always room for improvement - I'll see what more I can do for the "crew" without going over the top... or maybe I will - who knows?

@whalemusic360: No using my Trukks as excuses!

@everyone: Well, I have arrived safely in Perth. Having some issues getting Internet access sorted, so don't expect too much too soon - but I was planning to keep an eye on things. I just won't be adding any WIP updates - not none at all! Afterall - I'm hoping to get some games in! Thanks for all your efforts to keep my plog alive (especially that go-getter HadoukenAvenger ) but I don't think it will die from sparse updates over four weeks!

@ Arakasi - No not enough we want more Waaaagh More Dakka and More bouncing sliding and generally sideways Trukks! now go go make it all happen.

P.S add the bumper sticker "Caution Trukk Permanently Sideways" to the rear and it will look like my old Toyota Hilux!

Arakasi: What ever do you mean? These documents, here. Yeah, those ones. You don't remember those? Look a little closer. *Slides glock*

Hmm, Iron Man 2, Predators, IA8 and a visit to Oz....that sounds like an interesting combination of influences for Da Dark Angelz

@Santobell: I'm sure I can make up for it on my return to the UK... Hmmm - not sure I'd be able to fit that on the back - maybe a "How's my ramming?" or "We brake for no-one!"? Which reminds me - I need to PM you about a game

@HadoukenAvenger: Oh! *THOSE* documents. Right. Of course. As you were then

@monkeytroll: As usual, too many ideas, not enough time! The attempt should be entertaining though...

Finally got Internet access sorted. I have a *long* list of threads to catch up on while Da Boss sleeps...

At least you can get your Dakka fix now

So come on, you've been there a week now, where's the Ork fortress built entirely from re-cycled utensils from the airplane meals

Actually, the qantas airlines trays look quite a lot like bunkers....

Araksi: Hey, that's cool. I never noticed the flag changed depending on your current interweb location.

"No Squig not Ride"

Just to be ironic, "Have a nice day!"

With a smiley Ork glyph?

That would be priceless

"No Brakes! " might be fitting as well

"We stopz 4 nobodyz!!"

"if ya can read this ,stay where ya are and go splat"

Why not just put black and white checks along the sides and put a taxi sign on the roof.... then make the driver look like robert deniro lol

How about "howz my drivin?", or "howz my shootin?", could also be a bit long though...

Plenty of great ideas! May have to save some of the longer ones for Battlewagons and above

Weekly joke:


So, two Tau walk into a bar.


I guess they realy do suck at close combat.

I use to have an ork warlord in armor who had a taxi door sharpened into a choppa and a traffic light modified into a shoota I think he'd fit right into Da Dark Angelz

Come on, I worked hard on that joke.

Not entirely sure how a taxi or taxi armed Warboss would fit in to Da Dark Angelz - but I'll keep it in mind - you never know... unless you want to elaborate the idea(s)?

Hey, I laughed. Truly. And I still laugh, every time I read your joke and scroll down to see that cat laughing at it too.

Lol, just a silly idea, doesnt even have to be yellow trukk (although that would play towards a NY cab/ bad moon clan) Dark green would work though.

I just thought the checks would fit nicely for any goff elements that you might have in the army. Instead of black and white, you could use red and white to match the dark angels colours.

The taxi sign (if its not a dedicated transport) to show that he'll lug any boyz ta da rumble if dey got enuff teef!!

Maybe give the trukk driver a mohican or a mohican-squig on his head and a few wart things on his cheek.... screaming with a gun in hiz hand like he's yelling the famous line " YOU TALKING TO ME??"

Well in my case his mega armor was made from the Taxi or at least parts of it so it fit in really well he was a Badmoon boss, had his base painted up like a broken road and had a grotling rigger dangling from his choppa
his but was made form the boot and had a I heart NY sicker painted on it (it was a yellow cab) and a number plate dangling by a small chain. he was made from a small scale "Crazy Taxi" resin car.

Sadly his life was cut short by a marauding cat by the name of Toby.
