Nah, I'll go circulr monocle. Since I'll need literally a tiny 5mm blob at most for this, I'll borrow it off my LGS.

good decision^^

I am annoyed today.
Why you ask?
-it's a schoolday.
-it's a schoolday tomorrow.
-I have an english test tomorrow.
-I've got a retainer put in today, so now I "Shpeak like a wetard."
-I've hurt my knee and now I can't bend it or put any weight on it.
-I'll have to keep the "wetainer" in there for 8 weeks.
-during those weeks, no chewy food or sweets.

so yeah. Not a great day.

Enough of my moaning, I'll get the guys sprayed probably sun/saturday.

retrainer is that to set your teeth right? i ever thought only those americans do that to their kids...well my middle son will probably get one too...my deepest condolences for looking like that now:

My stepdad kept quoting "jaws" from james bond, too. ^^
sort of accident-
-I get shoved jokingly by a friend while playing dodgeball.
-I trip over and fall on my knees.
-A guy reversed into me and tripped up. ^^
- I go and limp to the benches at the edge of the sports hall.
-Over about a minute, two dodgeballs hit my knees.
-one of the guys who threw it goes up to me, asks if I'm okay, and slaps my knee as he runs off.
-By this time me and a friend are laughing so hard my eyes water. Someone asked if I was crying, which caused us to laugh even more. Then everyone we saw asked it, and I kept laughing harder.
Imagine wearing two gum shields for 8 weeks. That.

The english test is 10% of my GCSE, so I'm just nervous about it.

What I'm annoyed about most is my knee. If it hurts too much, I'll have to go home. That'd be insult to injury because I've never had a day off sick. Ever. Ruining that in my last two years at school...argh. I'll try my best to soldier through.

be carefull, dont know how tall you´re but the knees are a very dangerous area... cool it and do it only with light cold cloth or such things if you have a cooling device...dont know the right vocab here...
to much cold and heat could get you a nasty inflammation, by the sound of it your already feeling something in that direction...
and doing the soldier...dumb move altogether...:

from Starship Troopers:

JOHNNY: Infantry, sir.

RECRUITING SERGEANT: Well, good for you. The Mobile Infantry made me the man I am today. (couldn´t find a vid for that...)

go do the smart thing visit a doc and get your knee sorted out...believe me if your going to be a tall fella one day you will thank me for that....


vik

- I'm just shy of 5'. Pretty small.
- seen the doc, reckons I should just try walkin normally, rest it as much as posssible and put cold packs on it.
- It's gotten better significantly- I think by sunday/monday it'll be back to normal.

Oh and I'll be spraying saturday, and maybe painting sunday.

for your knee getting better, i know of selfexpierience that this can spoil so much...and by the way, do try to walk normal as if not your ruining muscle and the other knee in the process...had that too whan i overdid my ankle...that wasn´t fun either...and a few days later the next ankle joined in the fun...

cool, didn´t get to spray my minis but instead glued this together...will be part of a special unit i guess... http://www.warpathgames.com/wholesale/warpath.php?m=detail&p=45956


nice isn´t she?

vik

When I see that I think of killteam.

?

She looks like she belons in a killteam.

well that would be a nice one then... i really have to open a thread one day for looking for some berlin players here on dakka...

Oh and should I get the RG etched brass or RG transfers?

http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Warhammer-40000/RAVEN-GUARD-TRANSFER-SHEET.html

to be honest probably both...as different uses imply different materials... on shoulderpads the decals and on tanks the brass ones...tho i have to add on bolter and chainsword there might be some ravenguard decals in the download section...fanbased still but nevertheless 9 pounds not to be sneezed at...

vik

hmm. I'll take a look, and if they're decent I'll hunt some tranfer paper and go do that.

*nods*
money saved on day one is money kept for buying on day two^^

Shopping list-
stormraven A
TDA & jump packs
libby dread
xbox live
stormraven B
chaplain dread
RG etched brass
decal sheet
cadian battleforce
30 cadians
commander Viktor Croaks
PI heads
trenches
general-commissar
engineers
drill
3 cyclops vehicles
5 cadians

if used right here is no limit in the uses of decal sheets self made... motos and even reall tiny writing for purity seals...hmmm...love the idea...
also you could donload pinups and stuff for your vehicles...

*inner monologe* cooool....

yep.
I'll do one with the personal iconography of viktor croaks, on his cloak. Any ideas?

scopes are here!
sternguard- scopes (except sgt. Validus- need metal glue)
snipers- scopes
tac. marines- not built - not enough glue
Audax- scope
Lenore- nowhere to put a scope
devastators- sarge has scope
CCS- champion, apothecary and veteran w/PF have scopes.

silencers- snipers- one has scout sniper silencer.
still ed off with wasting a good £4 of money on 2mm rods, when 3mm is the right size.
so 3mm rods will be bought after the CH jump packs.
Here's a link to the guy who said it, as well as my reaction and the supposed "2mm" rod on a bolter. Either themodeldockyard.com got it wrong, or this guy did.

darn....4 punds bound to be used in another way...hmmm
personaly i wouldn´t go the rivet way...maybe if you warp it over a candle then you might use it for vehicle cables? be sure not to hold it IN the flame just a small moment over the flame... then bend it to your whim^^...
i have a really messy workplace atm as i tend to collect all stuff that might one day be useful to me...well i would just put it somewhere lese until the right moment comes for the 2mm rods...
and as i always tell my kids don´t ask them ask me...for this occasion at least i would have had a ruler^^ to measure up...

as for your suggestion or rather mine on croaks cloak...(nice sound of this aliteration ....)

well...mind is blank, well if forced at gunleel i would say "VC" and leave it at that, get yourself a good gothic type for your writing prog and print it also on decals...that would be my best current offer here...also i would recommend doing some sort of ornamental stuff on the brim of said cloak...maybe something celtic like



something not to complicated here....

vik

Maybe a nice medieval font "VC", surrounded by a laurel, and that celtic marking on the edge of the inside of the cloak?

I'll do a mock-up and post pics when I post pics of the rest. Still waiting on my friend to fix up the ol' laptop...

wouldn´t do the insides of the cloak but outside brim instead...
medieval? do you mean gothic or real mediveal? laurel sound always good!

crossing fingers for your techpriest to arrive and southe the machinespirit of your computer....

I've seen that very design on about 5 different cloaks, all on the inside.

^ like that. ^
Oh I mean gothic-type, like this:


or maybe this, because it's easier to read:

Laurel:


So V.C in the middle, surrounded by a wreath, the inside of his cloak having celtic patterns?
I'll do a mock-up, and print one on my transfer sheet.

He's apparently gone to a relative's funeral and forgot to tell us. He says he'll remeber to try it tomorrow, but IDK when I'll be in the house to log in for him to take a look, so I call him when and he comes. He's not doing anything today, and because he's my mum's friend, he'll do it free and when we're ready.
Just if you're online, remind me. If it gets fixed, they'll be sprayed tomorrow and pics posted during the week. Just keep pestering me!
