Many people have started threads like this and they have been extremely successful. So I wanted to see what would happen with this. (And if I have been very stupid to post this as there is already a thread about this topic ) Anyway, I'll start off with mine: At my local model store there was this teen who went around beating us adults and saying ''U mad?'' Then, finally I beat him and responded to him ''U mad?'' That became my victory saying and has stuck ever since!

EDIT: My profile picture has now changed to a dark eldar mandrake which is my favourite unit in the game.

EDIT: I chose nids because they are my knew army

It visualizes my superiority above you commoners.

I think this sums it up;



Also because my chin itches.

Mine is taken from the cover of "Scrivener's Moon" (Phillip Reeve), and is a picture of the stalker Shrike.

Also, it looks awesome.

The Imperial Guard need YOU...

because the last lot were killed to a man...

I don't think mine requires actual "meaning"...it's the black knight from Monty Python and the Holy Grail after King Arthur chops his arm off. And if you don't know what MPatHG is, you need to vacate yourself to a floating asteroid. Bring your own oxygen and a sweater.

There is no shame in having a porn star as my image....Is there?

No meaning behind it - maybe some psychological subtext.

well she does good work... mine is simply from an episode of the simpsons as the early simpsons is my favourite most funny tv show

You dirty little boy!

I switch mine from time to time.

Right now is an image of Satsuki Kiryūin, a character from Kill la Kill I'm a major fan of. My forum title and signature matches the pic too, I like to keep it thematic

Leoric the Book aka "He who cannot be stopped"

I just like it.

It's Garrus.

But festive.

Because I backed the Mandate.

I drew it.



Character named Gordon. She's a transgendered assassin.

I have more stuff here.

It's me. Being a typical Viking strong man.

Combines my love of the Powerpuff Girls, computer games, monsters, and playing computer games to the exclusion of all else

Its probably my best face on my models that I've painted. From the photo it doesn't look too spectacular but in person, the amount of time I put into it and the blending were a turning point in what lengths I go to when painting my models... Also I like pale skin.

I fancied something random and typed 'llama avatar' into google. It was the first one I found amusing.

Futurama is my favorite cartoon and the episode "The Why of Fry" is among my favorite episodes.

Fafnir, your drawings are absolutely awesome.

For years I had a picture of a Squat, a decade or more ago this was a non-too subtle trolling attempt at the people who used to laugh about how crappy Squats were, and how it was good that GW had cut them from the game. But, it kind of lost its potency..

Now I just have whatever project I'm interested in or working on at the time, so it gets changed a lot! Mixed between Mars Attacks, Infinity, John Hurt being facehugger-ed (AvP) and now Dark Ages (for SAGA)..

Mine is something I put together, Lara Croft from Tomb Raider and Raziel from the Legacy of Kain Games, Soul Reaver. My favourite characters and game series! Best works of Crystal Dynamics and Eidos in my opinion

People should drink more before they post.

Drunk posting is the best thing ever to happen to dakka.

Mine's a retro poster for Fallout 2 (I just love that artist's work). Previously it was a smexy lady, but now that I seem to have become a little post apocalyptic centric with my painting of late I feel a change is necessary until this awful phase passes.

I'm not going to explain it.

Because spaceships.

Mine is a photo of me back when I had shorter hair.

Ah yes I remember that one Wyrmalla, was a good one.

Best avatar pic then on Dakka?

My pic would probably be either Alpharius (who has tied his in with his name, but made it prettier to look at), Agamenmon for using an avatar that totally seems to match the character of his posts, and used to like RiTides big rock guy.. used to like Morathi's Darkest Sin's one of the dark elf/eldar lady one also..

d-usa's Miley Cyrus/chicken was probably the worst one I have ever seen, on any forum

I dunno, I quite liked the Christmas Twerky.

Cheers, will pass that on to Aura, she drew it for me. She's been planning to update it soon, I'll nudge her this week. That one mentioned, although good was her redrawing someone else's pic while she was learning how her coral draw worked. Now she has photoshop paint and is a whole level higher with her drawing/colouring again, I'd like her to do her own version this time.

My current one is one of my fave bits of GW art ever on a mag/game box, mainly becasue I went through a long period where I played Necromunda and Escher where my favourite house by a mile.

Oh and love that pic Fafnir.
