yeah,
In the 41st millennium thousands of souls are slaughtered and sacrificed in the name of who holds the most green flags.
Entire civilisations are wiped out and lost for all time if they don’t have enough green flags.

My avatar is surely the most important thing in 40k!

Panic...

Mine is a character called Bun-Bun from a web comic called sluggy freelance. He's a pscho killer along the lines of the rabbit from Monty python and the Holy Grail. Check it out at http://www.sluggy.com . There's a lot to get through, but I reckon that the guy who writes it is a genius.

grrr

Its a rat.. with a teddy. Why? Cause pet rats are VERY under-rated pets.

I try to show the nice side. Not the expected side of ugly sewer rats with big teeth etc.

Im hoping one day GW will realise that Skaven should actually look like rats.

Look its a teddy !!!

Mine is my preferred faction from Heavy Gear, the United Mercantile Federation Army. Think of a country run as a capitalistic marketplace, and there you go. UMF - where votes are bought and paid for in the open!

Inigo Montoya? When I first started in the hobby, a friend accidentally stepped on my army general. Luckily enough I was working on a replacement. Of course my first game out with the new general also came with "Hello my name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father prepare to die." That same General fought on for much longer than I expected.

Abaddon shortly after destroying a bunch of skulls he was going to give Kharn. I like it. It says smug and "man I am so awesome/correct and I KNOW IT". Abaddon then got his arms chopped off by Kharn...

Mine is Jasper Stone from Deadlands.

A man who was so scary that the demon who posessed him to return him to life from beyond the grave is afraid of HIM. He's so rough that Death itself chose Stone to be his avatar. Stone is so tough that when, after a hundred and fifty years, his dark masters lost their war, they sent him back in time (with all his accumulated knowledge and powers) to exist simultaneously with his past (already badass) self, to do nothing but track down the heroes that thwarted them and put some lead in their faces. His stats (by book) are 'whatever it takes to kill the heroes.' He's so awesome, he's the cover art for the game.

Badassness.

Well, he's honest. I like the imagination of (fake) avatars, but I don't really mind pictures of people. Although yes, prettiness helps.



Mine is always a Monkey Island character (typically Lechuck or Guybrush) as Monkey Island is THE BEST. Yet to find a good one of Stan the Salesman yet though...

You know, some of the explanations of old avatars that have since been updated with new avatars are just bloody hilarious... (look at JohnHwangDD's explanation for his original avatar on page 2 with the new avatar pic).


My avatar is my namesake. The first figure I actually took some care in painting after coming back to the hobby after a 6-year hiatus. The character actually has a story... but I'll spare you that as it isn't really the point of the thread.

... which should be a cryptic enough explanation that when I update MY avatar eventually it should still pretty much make sense.
