hey mxwllmdr, you cannot disspell this card! So guys dont you think that the movie spider man is gay?

spidey...nerdy yes...gay...no...he still likes redheads... how gay could one man be if he is still into redheads?...


and did any of you ever think about the apocalypse as to be initiated due to a shortage of plasticcard world wide that led to thermonuclear warfare due to the extensive needs of dave for his projects...now that is a discomforting thought...

LOL, this is why I take breaks, to allow the market to recover sustainably

ha...knew you would say something corny...and made already a reply...:




see what you made me do...

HAHAHA! yer a nut Vik.

aye sir!

alright vik now i want one translated in german!

I actually do think the movie "Spider-Man" sucked. I am in the U.S. Army so I cannot use that G-word anymore. I would get in trouble.....

oh.. well it did suck

owww...i really liked the movies...though they are not canon to the books i read...mostly...and the whole mutation thing by genetical mutated spiders i didn´t like and the webspinner tool wasn´t included to the character...but i liked the feel of the movie! and seeing william dafoe as the green goblin was the best move the company could do in my view...

alright vik now i want one translated in german!

you want one of those posters in german? is that it?... could be arranged... but i thought maybe something jore special to your character?... we all now daves habits...so i have to know more about yers^^

WHat habits?

wasn´t sure on whom and on what to make a poster... so need data...

Willam Dafoe was better in Boondock Saints. He's good in anything he does, but better in the Saints.

true...he is an evil incarnate charcter in movies and he is very good at it...i bet he has a wondeful character in RL and quite the good humor...just like the opposite of his movie persona^^

william dafoe as the green goblin is the only part i liked from the movies, i just dont like toby maguire blech! plus my little nephew watched any one of the spiderman movies everyday soo now they just make me angry

hmm vik habits.... the only one that comes to mind is blindness, im not a rivet adict (yet) like dave

Now imagine a cross-section view of what is underground, set flush with the edge of the table.
Sort of like this

except all the way around the table
adding another dimension to a game.

12', thats how far we are raising our table. It is a project gift for our shopowner. the whole table top is gonna be in ruins with a massive church and lots of craters. no real maneauver room for armor, either. The whole way around the table will be a sewer system that has access at four spots in the center of the table and 6 on the edge (three on each side). But since the sewer is within 12 " troops can be deployed directly to the sewers. We haven't started construction yet but we hope to in February. This thread was the idea for it. My buddy says he has rules for crossing the table in the sewers like a deepstrike already written. It is gonna be awesome.

Wow!! Rock on! My sewer project has been delayed for a while, although I finally bought enough of the plywood planks to do it.

I will want to see both projects when you start working on them! Keep us posted!

yaaay sewers!!

Dst, you are using plywood? I think we were considering using blue foam and carving the poop out of it. I will post some of our drawings, if thats ok with you Dst.

I have to say that the recent conversation in this thread is making me re-think my current table and the temptation of creating an underground system (albeit on that runs along the table edge) is extremely attractive to me, especially for my 4X4 boards. I will not pretend that I'm going to start this as a project anytime soon (anyone that follows my 3 main blogs knows I'm up to my neck in "busy" right now just trying to manage those).

I'd enjoy seeing where all of this goes, I'm intrigued to see what comes of this.

@Skalk Bloodaxe your table (on page Building a Better Battlefield)
is wicked amazing. Hey, do you use Jesso on your foam pieces? And where did you get all those Necromunda templates? How exactly did you get those wicked burnt crater looks?

Sorry to go off talking about Skalks page on yours, DST, but posting on his is risking Threadomancy.

*sniggers*

There are no rules here, this is the lawlessness thread. Skalk's and Vik's threads are similar. My plywood planks are the sturdy frame to elevate the table to allow the sewers to be put under the table edge. The walls are carved brick into foam, but it isn't strong enough to hold up a 4x4' plywood board covered in sand texture paint. I had dreams of a modular nature, but I was too lazy to get the saw out. It may still happen, I don't know. Not much will be happening in my shop now until after the holidays. You Europeans value time off more, so you take the entire month of August off, we Americans are slaves to the corporations, so we don't get that holiday month. I am just chilling until after Christmas and New Years. Too much RL stuff going on.

Ok, I got a plan that will be sewers on the edge of the table, too.
When me and my buddy did up our plans we kept in mind that we wanted as little armor maneauver room as possible for almost the entirety of the table. So, what you can't see in the drawings is that most of the buildings are complete rubble and the side streets and alleys between them are clutter from heck and back with rubble. Hence, mostly, troops only amongst them.

I don't know if you can tell what it is going to be like but the corners at marked location A and B are going to be collapsed earth or buildings that have entrances into the sewer system. A will be like a land slide that reveals a waste water drain pipe and B is probably going to be a water treatment plant that has collapsed into itself with several large pipes leading in.
The bug looking thing in the lower right corner of the upper left drawing is a Cathredal/Church of the Imperium that I REALLY, REALLY want to model after the Cathredal Des Chartres:


We plan on the sewers looking like this:


(Thanks, btw, for that Dst)

But, after much thought, we think that the sewers should be about 9" deep from the side of the table and about 9' tall. That would allow for dreadnaughts and other taller non-mechanized armor to enter into and maneauver around.

As far as the purpose of the side sewers, the would serve to connect the table sides using the "sewers" that are outlined in dashed lines and accessible, also, at the black dots on the upper left map.

Also, our sewers would not extend onto the end of the table. The tables at our shop are butted up against a wall at the end and to have sewers you can't reach, or to risk ham-handed model handling/damage risking activity we decided to just do the sides.

We like the idea of deploying a unit directly to the sewers and rolling a difficult/dangerous terrain just too see if that unit didn't get lost in the tunnels. If they make it they can emerge exactly where planned upon entering, but if not, they wait another turn to try again. One could concievably lose a unit in the sewers for the entire game. HEHE!!!

I want some of the damage to resemble Hiroshima:



What do you think? Feasible? Impossible? Stupid?

You had some typos in your sketch, I corrected them for you.


Other then that, I think it's cool, but I'm not a 40K Engineer like Dstein!

I think you have a completely awesome idea going on here! A word of advice though, if you use Pegasus panels to build the church, watch out, I have tried this, basing mine off of Notre Dame in Paris, and to get it to look right, it will end up being nearly 4' long. This is mine, abandoned for now, but I WILL finish it someday with removable roof and all.

argh.... i can´t get enough of that cathedral...^^ looking so damn fine!!!


as for the lawless thread...????? whut?

...any questions?^^

Uh, yeah, no panels here. Sheet styrene in .040. isn't that expensive and I already have two 42"x70" sheets.


Any typos in that, RSJake? LOL
