Yes, Space Marines

So true so true

The trolls Tom, Bill, and Bert was my favorite scene, next to any Shire scene

I can't tell you my favorite scene of that movie. My least favorite scene was the run of the mill chase scene with unrealistic action scenes thru goblin town. I swear... I am so tired of filmmakers having to jazz up scenes to make them more "movie-like."

And I'm tired of scenes that totally defy logic. Like:


I still loved the movie.

Okay..
Hi Dave! It's been far too long since I've been on...
I found where I disapeared and am working up from the 100
odd pages that I missed since september...

Hope that things have been going well for you and can't wait to see what I've messed...

Yes but one day I bet he gives in to the Dark side ……the Emperor all ways comes a calling

oh... you can be a loyal servat of the rotting flesh and stay a mere mortal

Gollum was my favorite a very clear distinction between him and smegol that made me feel bad for the guy very well done, I definatly thought it was waaay to light hearted and goofy (but thats what I was expecting) hated the goblin king though, and I must say when I saw it in 3d i was amazed (not because of the '3d' part since I cant see that with one eye ) but because of the higher resolution or whatever was rediculously realistic, seemed like I was at a play not a movie

I look forward to seeing your interpretation of the Hobbit characters.

Thanks man, I've got SOME basecoats on, but I'm basically sticking to the movie colors

I've also got Tom, Bill, and Bert the trolls- those are some fantastic models, despite the heavy license fees GW passes along.

The trolls were my favorite bit from the book ever since I first read it as a wee lad. But I just couldn't bring myself to pay the $80+! they were asking for 3 plastic trolls and a campfire bit. The Hobbit box set was a gift to my son from my best friend for Christmas...I think it 'might' just be worth the price though, even more so at discount. I would love to have more of the goblin town scenery to build up a little maze for them all to do battle on...but they want $60 for a few plastic interpretations of bits of wood! I might just pass on it. I could do it with bass wood I suppose, but then there's the time investment...Curse you GW for making ridiculously overpriced toys that I still want to buy!

That's what I plan on doing, making it all from balsa, I'd like to figure out how they do the rocks/cave walls.

Do you have a reference image for the look you are referring too? I have noticed in some of GW's more recent elaborate board displays they have been using textured rock that I can assume come from molds like the ones woodland scenics sells.

Yeah, in the rulebook, page 10-11...I think you are right, they definitely look like railroad rock molds.

Here is Bert

Here is Bert in scale

"nasty little rabbit"

Going back a couple pages, I agree w/ Brian- make your own fun. My game group is going flyer-nutty. Ok. I'm not going to worry about it much. Flyers can't hold objective and are far from invincible. And if I get annoyed enough I'll put a couple Aegis lines out and have that quad-cannon have a short chat w/ them.

There's also the issue w/ months of work on awesome terrain. It's just an exercise in modeling unless it has little toy soldiers running over it ever now and then.

Win or lose, I don't particularly care. I just want to play.

I've not seen the rulebook, but recall a WD LotR Mines of Moria board where they used expanding foam for the rock faces.

Just found this as well - nice looking board, shame it's up in Middlesbrough though...

Oh man that troll is great, I wish they where a bit cheaper

Yep, that's what's holding me back from any purchases, some lovely models, especially the three trolls... plus I still have an untouched FotR Weathertop set that I got back when it was originally released, still in the box - one day I'll scratchbuild the Weathertop scenery (never could afford the FW version) and get them painted up, one day...

THAT is a fantastic Goblin Town board!
The Hobbit box set is Ladygeek's, I bought the trolls for me

well, been kinda lurking around this thread recently, but I'll hopefully be posting a bit now you have goblin town
I've only got as far as spraying some of them (namely the dwarves) so far, and I don't see them getting painted for at least a week due to other lord of the rings conversions in the pipeline...

I recall the old cartoon of The Hobbit.

I remember that to, i also remember it being a bit tripy lol.

Wow, that is a cracking Moria board.

That's a Goblin Town board, from the new stuff, not Moria

Dwarves don't use wood..wood is for burning...silly manling

was that last sentence written by lady geek? LOL

I fear you've lost trakc of your Necromunda, Dave.

But that's cool.

fear leads to anger anger leads to hate hate leads to suffering

meh...if all things are equal, I've already given you more than my fair share of Munda

This thread is about two years old now, and bloated to 445 pages. I think it's time to mothball it. It's too big, it puts people off from reading it. I hit my limit in the main library of photobucket..maxed it out, so I am force to reorganize 2,000+ pics inside photobucket, which will break this thread.

Where have we been in two years time?

I've been here, in my happy place
admittedly, I go off on flights of fancy, but I produced (with your encouragement):












Of course, there is still some unfinished business..




I couldn't have it any other way

Congrats on a long and fruitful run, man. You've definitely been a continued inspiration for my modeling.
Its great to look back and see all the different projects youve done over the years.

Here's to another 2 years!

And the lifetime achievement for services to Necromunda go to...

BTW, very jealous of your mancave
