Heh, loving seeing the Wolves in their natural habitat! Good work

This is a fantastic thread, nice idea.

Secondly, not only have I been laughing at some of the comments, but the pictures are really cool (pun intended) Id do some with my Orks, but they are desert scheme, and therefore would look weird with sand bases, and a gak ton of snow everywhere else lol

Yeah the U.S got hit hard. I live in indiana and I think I'll post some pics later.

Yea we got about 6 or 7 inches in Michigan, but its mighty cold outside. I think today the wind chill takes it under the 0 mark.

same here do you have to be from th U.K to post

pandaman wrote:same here do you have to be from th U.K to post

Nah, just do it if there's snow

Valkyrie : Great pics, and excellent thought behind the text too (particularly the references to the fence) - gave me a laugh for sure

pandaman wrote:same here do you have to be from th U.K to post

Nah, that was just my way of getting my countrymen off their collective butts

If you've got snow then post away - we're all Dakkites here

Thanks, although it was born out of boredom TBH ! As for the sand bases, I doubt it matters, the first reply featured desert troops after all.

Thanks, the snow does seem to really bring out the idea behind the dual-role colour scheme : White for in the sun - blue/grey for in the shadows.

Oh goody.


My orks playing in the snow.

Cool idea, might get my Space Wolves out tomorrow and take advantage of the snow!

I really like this pic above, very cool.

Reaper6 , thats a GREAT scenary shot .

Did you actually wait for the train to pass by when taking the picture? so cool for the extra effort!

Those are canal boats Luna. (I made the same mistake ).

lol

pandaman : Nice mob-shot - made me consider digging out my few orks to let them in on the fun (which I might yet do as long as the snow lasts)

Erm, Luna... No way am I THAT patient, but thanks all the same

Sorry... my bad... shouldn't laugh really. At least you spotted what they were eventually !

These Brits are too careless...

See.
Ancient things lurk below.




See it?

You don't look hard enough...



Eldar???



Ambush!

But not so ancient, hmm...


Wait. There:



Was sure there was movement...



Nooooo ...... the walking dead...



Ah, now they see... but its to late to run

Some excellent contributions here, dakka. Thanks guys

Meanwhile, the Ice Wolves walkabout continues...


Getting closer to home, the Ice Wolves are ambushed by roaming Orks.

"Beakies ! Ave em ladz !"

"Aww Crap ! Lock & Load pups !"

A passing Thunderhawk (which I don't have ) finally locates the Wolves.

Hounded by the Orks, the Ice Wolves execute a fighting withdrawal

Guided by the T-Hawk, Rowboat's Posterboys come to the rescue !

"Ultramarines...we're here to get you out." "You been watching Navy Seals again, blue ?"

"For G-Man and Te Emprah !"

"Courage and... Aww feth it - Hose 'em boys"


Marneus "Big-Mittens" Calgar prepares to open the Hurt Locker

Safe at last, the Blessed Window Display is in sight

Back where they belong, the Ice Wolves endure a Map Reading lecture from Inquisitor Grey

awesome!!!!

I sprained my ankle so I couldn't go outside in the snow to take snaps of my nids,but the snow is gone now.:(

Friggin' awesome idea! Nice pics, everyone! Goes to show you can have fun with 40K even when you can't get a game in! Well done!

Down unduh? I sense a new topic coming on...

Solorg wrote:Down unduh? I sense a new topic coming on...

Me too...

Captain Solon : Why not start a thread based on terrain you CAN access ? Sand ? Forest ? (depending on where exactly you are of course) Most of my pics were taken in the garden (apart from the Walkabout with the trees and canal), as I'm sure a fw of the others were.

Play with the idea, see what you can come up with

i get my zerkers all ready for the winter blood letting (blood looks better on the snow) and its all melted

"why have you abandoned me mighty khorne"

Here is an idea ,
we should design a 40k mission / game that allow players to play outside lol

What is this 'outside' you speak of, Luna?
