lol...the backlog war... see today totally unsassabled minis wanting to fight a war they were not built to fight... see tragic minis still kept in sprue or assembled but still with bold moldlines to frighten enemies and allies alike...

Post by: shrike


And then I come in- one unassembled tactical squad, a chaplain, a biker and two libbies...oh...you win...
I like the sound of world war sprue...maybe a "WAR!!!" or "beat this unit!" kinda thread, where you post a squad you haven't built which beats the squad before it, not allowed to post the same unit on one page.

so then size truly matter after all... that way a cadian armybox can smash a landraider to pieces as it is heavier than the LR...

BOX wars...

with a http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Warhammer-40000/Tau/TAU-AIRCRAFT/TAU-MANTA.html

the tau would finally beat someoe into oblivion in close combat...

I think the general idea was you just held it in outstretched arms above your opponent's army and just said 'My arms are tired. Have I won yet?'

Post by: shrike




good or what?
which would you prefer? I'm probably gonna get the latter one for my death korps, and obviously the torsos are the same, and so the head must be seperate from the torso, so you can get a steampunk head on instead
and the arm's detachable too, so you could have a cane-holding arm on him...


Imperial Steam Punk mounted Airship fellas to look at^^ @ 2011/03/06 11:50:34


Post by: Viktor von Domm


the later head looks like it is from a commissar...
the first one is still my favorite...need more posh looking officers as with that much catachan forces i need to built up some stylish backbone to keep in the theme...^^

the thing thats only put me off of the whole mini is the powerfist... for such an important and probably noncombatant officer this is a pit over the top...

better than a sword- this way you can punch people AND hold your monocle/cigar!
