Don't "DIS" hippies and vegans. I may be a leather wearing judas priest fan, but I have to say, they are fun people to be with.

There is no doubt in my mind that this is exactly what you will do.
Do you think you could spare enough blood and baby fluid to paint a whole army? Because it would probably look pretty sick.

I took a razor and sliced down the little green thumbtack that comes in tubes of crazy glue to open the tube. Whittled down the outside diameter until it could fit into the barrel of my air pistol (you can see it in one of the pictures, sitting on the chair). I pumped the gun once (minimal velocity is the name of the game here, also not trying to give myself an embolism) and fired it into the meat of my right thigh. I'll spare you the pictures on that. Little pinprick of the house red wells up, and I dip the stick into it and smear it onto the genestealer.
Cheater. Obviously you should have broken off a branch, gnawed the end to a point with your teeth, and then jabbed your leg with that.
Very cool article.

Hmm, if you wanted to move in a similar, albeit slightly more dangerous direction- would you consider painting all models with poisoned weapons (say super-gaunts etc) with pulped deadly nightshade, poison oak, foxglove etc.
Nothing like knowing that your gaunts with toxin sacs really are toxic...

Next time, grow all of your own organic plant material. Going outside and just finding it is what lazy no-good losers do. Also, don't use any tacks or metal or anything like that, unless you mined and purified the stuff yourself! Jesus Christ your cutting of corners pisses me off! RAWR.

No way, to be true "natural" you need to gather it from nature. Otherwise, you are just using artificial means, do you want to cut another set of corners?

Gathering from nature is for CHUMPS man. That's STEALING and it's the easy way out. Tell me what is easier:
Going outside for 5 minutes and picking up some berries / twigs / whatever.
OR
Having to plant your seeds, adding natural fertilizer (your own poop), watering the buggers every day, chasing away squirrels who want to eat your plants... and then months later taking berries, sticks and other plant parts you grew yourself? The answer is OBVIOUS. Cheaters go out and steal stuff from nature, without putting in any work. Non-cheaters grow everything themselves. Everyone has their own opinions and you are free to disagree with me, but you will be WRONG when you do it. FACT.

What is the point in an argument over who paints what way? Thats kind of like winning the special olympics...even if you get the gold, well.. ok you see where I am going there.
As to myself, Painting just feels, tedius, its not fun, I don't get any enjoyment out of it. Its a real drag for me, so I recently traded a laptop, docking station, monitor, and some cash and he is painting 20,000 points of space wolves for me.

The only problem is that the model is made from plastic, if he could make the model out of hemp or something then you would have your "green modeling revolution".

I always wondered what those plants are. Pokeweed? Huh. I do know for a fact that the berries set like cement if you crush them and leave all the pulpy bits and seeds in.

@ Mod, if I'm crossing lines, correct me or ban me. I apologize, but I'm a bit peeved, and super confused. Was a super cool poster, and (imo, again I may be wrong: you are the mod) didn't merit any consequences of such severity.
Sorry guys, and sorry Mod.

Pokeweed yes. It is actually an edible plant, quite delicious if I say so myself, but only the springtime shoots and the red parts and berries are poisonous. And the color would make some beautiful genestealers.

As a rule, we don't discuss disciplinary action taken against a poster with anyone other than that poster. There are privacy issues and, as you say, it's nobody else's business. I will say, though, that we don't suspend people 'for having friends'...

Very awesome thread. I haven't posted in these forums in forever, (well I do in the off topic and video game ones). However this one motivated me enough to post something and to do my first exalt this post.
BTW, can I get banned for accidently posting under another users account?

If you like. Let us know when you do it, and we'll take care of it.
On a more serious note, no, just accidentally posting under someone else's account won't get you 'banned'...
Automatically Appended Next Post:
Since this appears to be veering off the actual topic, and the original point has been well and truly made by now, I think we're done here.
