I suppose I missed the Dakka policy to submit pics for your approval prior to posting. As this thread is about apoc and recent conversation turned to models being produced or supported I thought it was a worthy conversion to share with the community and one that I'd be happy to play against even with some DIY rules.

If your contribution is to state that you don't want to see it or contributions from me in the future I'd recommend the hide user functionality.

Cheers


You completely misunderstood what he was saying.

But even if you didn't, getting completely offended that somebody might not like something you posted seems awfully juvenile.


A. I'm not certain i have misjudged it.
B. I'm not offended
C. I think more posters on this board should be less tolerant of board members who can't express an opinion in a civilized and well constructed manner. In other words it isn't juvenile to call persons to the carpet when posts do not contribute to the discussion nor are made in a way that progresses the discussion. In this case the poster failed at both.

Regards
A. You actually did. Quite a bit. It was supposed to be made in jest, I'm not even sure how you can misinterpret that as a slight against you in any way.
B. Really? Because you seemed to be.
C. The dude's opinion was civilized. It was a joke, which you then blew way out of proportion.

So what is good that the Orks got for Apocolypse. I will not be able to look at the book for about the next month or two sadly. I don't have time to play or to get the book.

So compared to the rest of the armies. What did they get? Are they going to be any good in apoc or blown away as a novelty army by the others like necrons, chaos and Grey Knights?

Necrons and Chaos are looking fairly decent in apoc to me. It's hard to say yet. I've really only eyed the things i already own(warhound and shadowsword variants). Ork stompas got a little more expensive.

That unnatural disasters table is...interesting, to say the least. I think it would make apoc games very, very short.

I wouldn't call it an improvement. Certainly it provides proof the concept will work, but it isn't executed terribly well.

Speaking of Skull lord conversion,this one, is a pretty darn good one.

That is exceptional. I'm hoping that other hand belongs to a Dreadknight as that would mean the scale is right for future conversion reference.

Linky to original artists blog or site?

I like the modified East India Company logo on the shoulders.

As usual, a model can look better when not done by the 'eavy metal team, and though I still don't like it, both conversions are a step up.

I'm kind of annoyed with Apoc, however, for splitting the formations up across books; there's a bunch of classics restricted to the Pandorax warzone, which only the collectors edition get (for now) and will be Emperor knows how much when it's released.

Therefore, I conclude, Valve should announce Half Life 2: Episode 3.

I'm just heavily disappointed in the lack of Sisters formation. I really wanted to not feel like they are trying to erase sisters as a playable army.

Was everyone's copy in shrink wrap? It may just have been the store I bought it from, but I think this is the first time I bought a 40k book and had to remove the shrink wrap from it.

Yeah, same here. An interesting move, but one the store approved of, as they kept one copy open for the store and the rest wrapped up.

Just wondering but can someone put this guy next to a War hound Titan? I am curious as I could buy this and convert it into a war hound Titan if its at the same height as the Warhound of course. It would look awesome and it would be cheaper than the FW one

All I can see when I look at the top picture is that god awful scene in Spider-Man 3, when Toby Maguire struts his stuff down the street during his 'dark'(emo) phase.

The body looks to be about as big as the base (as wide at least). I think the WK or Riptide legs would work better, after suitable beefing up.

Heck you could use it as a Chaos-ified GK Dreadknight!

Take two sets of Wk legs, cut under the knees on both sets of legs.

Put them togheter or with a 1/2 inch gap, so it does look like the old Armorcast reavers legs, you can also put som armor platings on it and maybe use the dustbins...urh the Blood tanks for the lower parts of the legs.

It's about 9.5 inches tall. Making is 1 inch, or about 20 cm, shorter than a Warhound. With a bit more work, or a scenic base, it could be the same height.

I dont know if UltraPrime is still around but I would realy like to hear some details about the squad of Commisars Formation, as well as the one of each kind of Assasin formation. From Pandorax

These seem new and interesting.
