@Shas That is why everyone in the 41st Millenium has a British Accent.

Yeah, a british accent, yet they speak a mixture that looks like german-russian mixed with a latin like feel to the words.

Just so Vik knows, I got the metal heads and some weapons of a very Russian variety, and have decieded to show that they arrived on the 5th

It came from Germany!

I have a bunch of great coats that will be getting a head swap as I used the original heads for some different kind of unit, but in the end, these will look cooler for me.

Am so relieved you used the plural there!

What is that thing top left Shas? It looks like a bouncy Tigger!

Apparently, it is a worm with a rifle and gear and a russian star fur hat with gas mask so I call him Comrade Worm.

Wha...?? Those crazy Russians!
Why can't they just have a dog or a goat as a mascot like everybody else?

I say he is comrade worm from chernobyl

http://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com/2010/04/alot-is-better-than-you-at-everything.html
important updates (me-wise, anway):
-I'm now a DCM.
-Have made an ork nob for waagh! Dakka (pics pending)
-have changed sig for a different quote and a waagh! Dakka link.
-Have added more fluff to the sons of corax.

lol... thanks for the helpful link...that helped me alot^^

so why is it stating that you are a dcm??? i too want me free DCM status....awww...crap...seems i was yet again well behind the doors when the free stuff was handed out...

if i had time for orks the waaaagh would have me too...but the emperials are way tooo challenging and demanding^^

there was another version of that quote i once read...:

doing a good job is like wearing black pants and wetting yourself...you get a warm feeling but no one is taking notice...

^^

that quote is pretty good, haven't heard that one before ^^
my ork's one of the goff rockers (the one with the top hat), with the mic and guitar swapped for two pistols.

Welcome back Vik, and wow, nice scenery! I did so love me some trips out of and around Neu Ulm when I was in your country, oh so many years ago.

Sechs und Zwanzig Jahren.

^^ long time ago...well i guess you wouldn´t recognize many places...

it is good to be back.... the week was nice and we did have lots of fun with the kids.... but i too missed out on so much good stuff here...have been particulary exited to see your work and boy was i in for a treat!!!

Glad you liked it. just some more black squigglies, and then I can decal it. Now that you are back, I also anticipate more work on your Knight-tank.

(I google mapped Neu Ulm, my old barracks are all torn down.)

well as i recall many barracks got transformed now to elite apartmentbuildings and stuff or got torn down as you stated... you know life is like a stream.... you can never cross it twice...



will have a look at the new stuff of yours...

Yeah, my part of the Neu Ulm area got farrowed and is being let out to mellow out for a few years before they use it again.

lol... sounds like they have to purge that area with fire once your troops went away^^... but rest assured i have some first hand information how some russian baracks looked after they got left for good...horrible wouldn´t be fitting....would have been good for a bunch of splatter movies rather^^

Well, to be honest, I think it has to do with old materials used by the US as well as the chemicals likely spilled over the years in the motor-pool, and such, so best to let nature cleanse and heal the area herself before using it again, and it was a base section on the outskirts, some of the building were left standing for people to use. But the Barrack buildings and motor-pool as well as the command building are all flat earth now.

well if the army is working and living all on their own something like those incidents are bound to happen... soldiers are not known for their clean behavior with critical substances^^
i myself worked in the ABC defense section when serving.... well there are some ugly things in some peeps closets to say the least,...as i recall one way of dealing with nasty stuff was to simply burry it...and i am not telling stories here...

Yeah, bury it and forget is the mentality.

Now let us not bury your tank concepts and see some fresh work!!

did the full second round today of the string methode.... was but not picture worth...at least for me^^

and on a side note... had my birthday today...we went to cinema with my son felix (aged 5) to watch a gemran movie from an old TV series called wicky (about a viking youngling...) and i got for present a popup book of some works from leonardo da vinci...well all i can say for now is that this will affect in some way my work^^...but the current plans will be completed first^^


so look tomorrow for picture updates from that direction^^

Well, Happy Geburtstag!(Hope that was spelled right), and enjoy the rest of it!

happy birthday vik!!!

well i am currently with my friends at dakka^^ so you can imagine the rest^^

and yep geburtstag is perfectly right^^

Happy birthday, mate!

thanks! been trying to read your new fluff but keep getting distracted... will try to tomorrow too! see ya all !

cheers, vik
