lol my cousin came home not long ago, and plopped these on the floor.

He said " i saw your dakka posts , and i know people make fun of your post since you haven't
been up to date on the latest edition rules , so you can have the 2 starter sets.

The 3 super heavies you can build them with only ONE condition.
You can only open 1 box at a time AFTER completing the opened boxes"

Luna-chan, you are sooo lucky!

I guess my cooking and doing his laundry paid off!

Funny thing is this is how I get "paid" currently(I'm unemployed and not looking until the USAF moves us to Colorado next month).

Should keep you busy for a month or two, though.

Should we make fun of LunaHound more, so she gets free stuff?

I think its a one time thing >< nor do i want him to spend anymore on warhammer...
since no one in my house plays now! Dunno, maybe he wants to start playing.

Which should i open , baneblade or stompa?

You have a nice cousin.

Do a Baneblade first, to get used to a big kit.

Do one of the tank kits first, get a handle on the big kits before tackling the fiddly bits of the Stompa.

okee dokee! i'll start after i assemble black reach stuff.

Do they need washing too? warm water is ok? or need soap?

Wait a minute, lunahound is a girl?

ROTFLMAO!!

I pretty much just assume by the ever-changing but consistently female avatar.

If not, all well.

I gathered it when she said to use "chan" when using honorifics, which is generally used for females.

Yes i am, but lets not make a big deal out of it ...

wash with soap water or warm water is enough?

LunaHound wrote:

Should be enough if there's any residue/release agent left on it.

I never washed plastic models; I think it's more important for metal or resin.

Can't hurt though; probably don't need anything besides soap and water.

LunaHound wrote:

Just kidding,

Luna's a hermaphrodite, I think that would suffice.

Anyway, I find that you don't need to wash plastic, but make sure you wash metal.

Nice cousin.

if you are going to bother to wash the models, I would suggest going the full monty and washing with soapy water. I've never had a problem with plastics, never had to wash them, but again if you are going to you should go ahead and use the soap.

Looking at that pile of shwag, your cousin LOVES you! Good job on the haul!

Wow! Talk about LUCKY! The only time anything has come even close to that in my life was my friend/ex-girlfriend/"sister" (god relationships do odd things sometimes) walking in and plonking a 5 foot long sword with skulls, spikes and runes all over it on my floor and saying "happy birthday", but you're getting it for being nice, it would seem. Well done! I think your swag has a much higher dollar-value too.

Oh and sorry that I wasn't that much help on the checkers topic, but look - now you've got about a hundred Gobbos, thirty Orks and a fragging STOMPA to practice/experiment on with any Greenie painting techniques you feel like!

You could probably start a Bad Moon army.

Chan is definately not an honorific.. It is used quite often for females and very very young children too. Or effectionately towards your significant other. I've heard adult ladies call their boyfriend/husbands (nantoka) chan quite a bit.

two_heads_talking wrote:Chan is definately not an honorific..

It definitely IS an honorific, just as miss or master(both of which are used for people underage, btw, so age has nothing to do with it) is in English. An honorific is a title used to show respect and, in Japanese(unlike English), can be used with surnames, first names, and professional titles. Just because it CAN be used in informal settings does not make it an honorific title: when used in feminine speech modes, it closer translates to "dear", and is often used in Pet Names by adding to a truncated name stem.

In fact, the very reason I know this is because I own a Japanese Etiquette book where it's listed under(wait for it)...

JAPANESE HONORIFICS.

Man... I wonder if I could trade laundry and cooking for periodic super heavies from my wife...

As to which to do first, I recommend the Baneblade variant as well. I just put together my first Baneblade (vanilla) and it was a very nice kit, but it took a while. The stompa seems to just have piles of stuff that might be overwhelming at first.

i would go with the junk 1st
that way when you start on Mr. stompy you have spare parts to use on him
just an idea.

I am intensely jealous. Enjoy the loot.

JAPANESE HONORIFICS.

It's a diminuative rather than an honorific. It's under that title but hardly an honorific. (i'll post a small blurb from a wiki..

Chan (ちゃん ?) is a diminutive suffix. It is an informal version of san used to address children and female family members. It may also be used towards animals, lovers, intimate friends, and people whom one has known since childhood. Chan continues to be used as a term of endearment, especially for girls, into adulthood. Parents often call their daughters chan and their sons kun throughout their lives, though chan can be used towards boys just as easily, in particular if it results in a nickname that is particularly pleasing to the ear; such nicknames often spread outside the family circle during the school years. This is still considered very feminine. Adults may use chan as a term of endearment to women with whom they are on close terms.

Chan can be considered a feminine mode of speech in that it is used mainly by, or towards, females. Its pattern of usage is similar to using "dear" when addressing someone in English. Males typically do not use chan when addressing other males, except when referring to very young children, and in idiomatic cases like Shuwa-chan (described below). When they do, it implies a particularly close relationship between them, such as long-time friends or business partners.

"Pet names" are often made by attaching chan to a truncated stem of a name. This implies even greater intimacy than simply attaching it to the full name. So for example, a pet rabbit (usagi) might be called usa-chan rather than usagi-chan. Similarly, Chan is sometimes used to form pet names for celebrities. For example, Arnold Schwarzenegger gained the nickname Shuwa chan in Japanese. Pet-names may also use variations on chan (see "euphonic suffixes", below).

Although traditionally honorifics are not applied to oneself, some young women adopt the affectation of referring to themselves in the third person using chan, a mode of speech normally only found amongst small children. For example, a young woman named Maki might call herself Maki-chan rather than using a first person pronoun.

The Japanese media use chan when mentioning pre-elementary school children and sometimes elementary-school girls.

My point is that while it is under the honorific umbrella, it's not considered the same as mr, miss or mrs. as can be seen here, it's clearly informal. Now, perhaps we are arguing the same point from a different angle. I'm merely pointing out it's not a formal but an informal suffix.

I think I have that book as well, along with quite a few others.. It helps when doing linguistical translations/interpretations for the last 24 years.. /nod

Firstly,I have been made fun at for my whole life how come Deff no get super heavy?Secondly may I also move in,but only if you can pay for my air ticket!Lastely start with the super heavy tanks(like you have)as the new IG stuff are comming out in two months and you will have nice heavies to add to the force I know you wanna buy.(If you dont want to tough,I'll use mind-control and make you*laughs in evil way*)

I think we are, too. It seems the whole argument hinges on the semantics of how each of us defines the word "honorific".

There's always a catch. When I got my Imperial City from my girl she demanded that when it was built she could walk around them and pretend to be Godzilla for a bit.

Ha ha, Luna!

::points finger::

You don't have NEARLY ENOUGH Forgeworld models.

Silly girl. Wargames are for boys! You shouldn't even be here, if you don't have a bunch of FW models.

(Now, next time the cousin comes & drops off models, if there's FW in there, remember who hooked you up and send something my way. LOL)

Yes, it's semantics.

Lots of different titles and honorifics are used in Japanese, and there are rules about which one you use in different social situations.

-chan is mostly for girls and junior women you know well. It is a kind of diminutive honorific. Younger children can use it to speak to older sisters. You wouldn't use any honorific to refer to your own family or company members when speaking to out-group members.

It's too complicated to explain.

There is a variant of -chan, '-tan', used by very small children who have not yet learned to pronounce dipthongs.

The more important question should be, what kind of tanks for what kind of army will she build?

GRRR i swear tank tracks hate me, they arnt sticking together!@@@

thats why i hate anything with tracks
they are allways annoying to put together.
could allways drill and pin each piece of track

I think its either a design flaw, or i some how missed something ( i checked and double checked though )


The tracks are attached to cylinder stuff right?
But the cylinders are only attached on ONE side.

Which means if i push the tracks on, they come off right away.

i thought that they went on both sides?
im yet to assemble one, but ive made atleast 30 russ's to date.
and im guessing the track set-up should be pretty much the same.

JD21290 wrote:i thought that they went on both sides?

see! design is weird!

give me a few mins, ill try and dig out some info on it quick, im sure there are plans for it somewhere, might be able to find out whats wrong.

But that pic is GW's which means correctly assembled its still floating 0.o

i know, thats why im trying to find the plan pics for it, or atleast one partially assembled, that way i can get a better look at the tracks on it.
by the looks of it though, thats how it goes, seems kinda fethed up to me.

The track inside is also hollow, only supported by 3 very thin rods in the center , making the 2 large pieces move around alot.

Kilkrazy wrote:

It is safe to say, even if no one cares, those are not baneblades.

I see some issues here though;

1) You got some apocalypse items and no apocalypse rules so unless you get those, the stompa and stormlords are useless.
2) You got the AOBR set, which contains SM and Orks . This is all fine and good except for the fact that only IG use Baneblades, Stormlords, and huge tanks. SM use titans.

So either you have an IG army, and Apocalypse rules or apparently your cousin doesn't know the rules either. Again,I do think that it is safe to say that no one really cares what I say.

As to your problem with the tracks; if they are being difficult, just place the ones that you can see and don't worry about the ones under the track guards.

halo, take a look in her gallery, she has enough to cover all those, not sure about books, but as said, she isnt a gamer as of yet.


luna, may be a glue or pin job (or even GS)
the way they seemed to have designed them is gak.

True. Only IG use baneblades (and the like).
Orks, however, DO loot them.
Methinks the lass needs a Skullhamma.


Eric

I'm just saying that if her cousin didn't know she had IG, then that would've been quite silly.

Thanks for helping JD, really appreciate your effort.

Im just waiting patiently till the glue is 200% dry and been extra careful.

That's a lot of IG, personally I'm waiting for my local hobbyshop to catch fire and have its baneblade receive smoke damage so it will get discounted.

halo, her cousin must of known she was a genius though
anything can be converted.


no probs luna, if you need anymore help just get a few pics of the sections that are being annoying and i should be able to come up with some better ideas.

if its very delicate on the join then maybe a thin line of GS running through it aswell as glue?
should make it more stable and help it stay together while the glue bonds.

This is abit embarrasing but its been 6 hours so far lol...

still on tracks.

I hate to admit this too but, it seems like my cousin know im awful
at doing this thus he made the rule on not opening everything.

I'll convert you, you dirty son of a... octagon!

An epiphany though; if someone was being made fun of for not knowing the rule, wouldn't it be better to give them rulebooks and not more units that they don't know how to use?

Yes, yes, halo you suck and blahblahblah. You sound like my mother.

EDIT: Just ignore the tracks under the track guards, its like sweeping stuff under your bed or putting skeletons in your closet. Its just that easy.

I cant ignore that cylinder area >< it supports 5-6 pieces of track , pretty much the whole front and back area.

so 10 per side, 20 track pieces around the whole tank.

Use a huge clothespin or something like that to hold it in place then. Thats how I used to make my old WW2 tanks and other models with difficult things.

If you can't use clothespins, use scotch tape. Unfortunately this is one of the world's problems that would get worse if you used duck tape.

Its all that RESIN! WHOOHOOO FOR RESIN! Ive never built a resin model but boy oh boy have I read and seen some insane problems coming from resin.
ALSO Luna, Id be willing to pay some rent money to get 500 bucks worth of shtuff... or more shoot I dont remember how much you had there exactly
Also isnt part of your sig from metal gear solid?!? man I loved that game. It was awesome

I thought the new stormlords and baneblades were plastic.

You know what though, I would rather get resin instead of plastic despite the fact that it breaks easily. Simply because of the fact that Resin sounds far sexier than plastic.

Luna- You should subtract the time you spent posting on dakka from the time you spent on the treads.

Time on treads - Time on threads= Total time on treads.

EDIT: Wrote math wrong

if you had magnets you could easily magnetize all the variants into one chassis. Would take some imagination and though, that's what I plan on doing with mine once I pick up the new kit.

VermGho5t wrote:if you had magnets you could easily magnetize all the variants into one chassis. Would take some imagination and though, that's what I plan on doing with mine once I pick up the new kit.

Not neccesary , if you figure which piece to glue, and which to leave unglued, you dont need magnets. I just tried it.

You will cough during a game and a turret will fall off!

JD21290 wrote:ive made atleast 30 russ's to date.

Haha, not even close.

The Russ is old-style with wheels and runners. It fits "OK", but not great. It uses a lot of extra plastic for very little gain.

The Baneblade / Stormblade builds track more like a new Rhino. It has "floating" wheels and keyed track links. Technically, the design is better, except...

LunaHound wrote:

The design stems from an Shermanesque track design based on paired wheels on internal sub-chassis. The problem is that this doesn't carry over to the plastic, hence adding the hull extensions for the forward idlers that you so kindly highlighted.

You are correct that the design is wierd. This is because nobody at GW really knows how Tank / vehicle mechanicals are supposed work.

Man, those Shermans were hard to put together. I still recommend the use of tape and tweezers to place and hold in place individual treads. Place said tread, then glue and either use instant drying spray or tape it in place until the glue dries, if it turns out imperfect try to make the most visible parts near perfect and work on the bottom treads, which should be hurtin.

What it looks like though is that the two front treads are touching the cylinder so that's a possible starting place.

thanks for that john.
i didnt have the model to see it
seems like it will be a plasticard jobby if you need it to connect better with more stability.

Storm lord assembly done ,

new problem on Stompa....

The instruction manual doesnt show part's numbers.
( but the plastic pieces does )


How does that make sense?

The numbers are probably for manufacturing purposes. But I've never seen numbers in any of my plastics, I always assumed that they were like bad-a$$ legos.

GW never used to put numbers on the parts, but you are probably well aware that firms such as Tamiya or Hasegawa do in order to write a good assembly guide.

It doesn't usually matter on a simple kit.

Fortunately GW have done a guide on their website.

http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/content/article.jsp?aId=11700003

i was just about to suggest that the stompa release issue of WD has a guide in it to assemble stompy

Its an ork Stompa though, isn't the point of it TO look like cr@p?

no, they shouldnt look like crap.
why would you want to buy a model thats allready orky and ruin it with dodgy cutting or fitting?

Please note that the numbers of the parts found on the GW site do NOT correspond with the numbers on the sprues.

BrookM wrote:Please note that the numbers of the parts found on the GW site do NOT correspond with the numbers on the sprues.

Yes found out ...

What on earth was GW smoking when they added the numbers...

Pardon the language -- what the hell numbers does the guide refer to?

</rhetorical>

Probably even GW don't know.

Geez, I make a joke and get blammed for it.

Do you think that most ork vehicles were made by GW sculptors just starting out in the business?

halo, think your jokes through 1st
if your making an ork joke it needs to be of a decent quality



luna, im guessing they were smoking resin at the time.
i found the guide kinda weird aswell, they dont remove mould lines!

Ouch, I may cry.

Well, it looks like luna's good at conversions so she should be able to figure it out, or even improve upon the model. I'm not really offering help as I don't convert too much, but I'm interested in seeing the models when they're done. The stores around me don't carry stormlords or any other titans besides the baneblade kit.

LunaHound wrote:

Warm water with soap is usually best with plastic models, as the oil that tends to coat the sprues is not water soluble. Light soap, like dishwashing liquid, is quite sufficient.

Detergent is best rather than soap.

Kilkrazy wrote:Detergent is best rather than soap.

One thing im concerned about is , I know my models arnt water proof lol ><

which means soap or detergent WILL get inside , and there is little to nothing i can do to get it out .

Will the left over detergent thats stuck inside be harmful or hinder primer / paints?

Also i noticed my hands get sweaty when i try to hold the model together while it dries, will that leave residue and
makes primer chip off?

You know, Luna, you can wash sprues or parts before you glue...

But a bit of diluted, dried detergent residual film won't hurt your models in the least.

use the detergent in a weak mix and its fine
make sure its 100% dry though before you glue it.

luna, sweat wont do a thing to it
its fine.

When I build a polystyrene kit I prime some internal parts before or during building.

When it's finished I wash the whole kit in warm water with detergent, and lightly scrub the major surfaces with an old soft toothbrush. Then I rinse it well in lots of warm water. I take off the worst of the wet by shaking and towelling, and leave it to dry thoroughly.

DON"T PUT IT IN A HOT PLACE because it might melt.

Once dry, I spray prime and carry on painting as normal.

oh, 1 quick tip luna: before you put it together, undercoat the gun barrel of the stompa, as its a pain to do once its stuck together.

Its stuck together ^^;

i cant help it! 8 hours of assembling and i want to see
it in 1 piece ><


Yes it'll haunt me later if i need to paint it!

lol, way to go girlie
putting pics of the beast up later?

I wanted Lizardman for a loooooooong time . Building anything else doesnt feel fulfilling -_-

It doesnt help that i sit here for 8 hours straight smelling glue, and after im done ni cant help wonder
if other people took this long.

Then i feel like im dumb or something.

Hmmm..... not too enthusiastic ^^;



Also i was sort of planning , if i have a few stegadons, i can remove the bolt throwers and give it to my goblins.

That would be useful right!

meh, its still free stuff thats of use

heh, im just getting started on painting up my southlands list

im willing to bet it took some people alot longer, mine took around 40 mins, but i had spent all day helping people put thiers together in the GW, so after i had halped with 15 or so, it wasnt so bad.

your not dumb hun, possibly an effect of glue?

chill out for once hun
you got it done didnt you?
you deserve a pat on the back


lol, thieving lil gobbos! :K
im still using the old metal steggies, havent got around to buying new ones yet.

I want such a cousin

I can take up to eight weeks to finish a model.

That's nothing, I'm going on two years now without a single painted figure for my army.

Okay, one, but it's getting stripped. Again.
