**Sergeant Horse**

I like Space Muhreens..

**Dragonchef**

My aurora banner for my army (still only about 80% sure i want them to be my main force)

**Shadowbrand**

Mine is from a anime called Higurashi. Which basically is about this little backwater Japanese town that revolted after the government tried to make a dam, anyways after a few of the workers were found brutally killed, gak hits the fan.

It centers around this group of kids that find themselves in the middle of the paranoia and end up going crazy from it. Hence the face.

**Orkestra**

Mine is an ork playing an accordion. Let's Polka!

**Xyz'r'Xaz'r'Xuz**

Mine's a pic of my Warhammer Fantasy Army General at the moment...

**Darkness**

Mine is the main Character Gats in Berzerk, one of only a few anime I find good.

**catharsix**

mine is my favorite T-shirt. it's a zombie. i love zombies. LOVE LOVE LOVE. i love zombies like zombies love brains.

i got the shirt off the Hot Topic bargain rack for $3 back in 2005. my wife hates the shirt, so can't wear it around her, but this same pic was my Facebook user icon for a while too.

**1hadhq**

just 50cm of ad mech technology, reinvented per VCR.

**Skarshak**

Just one of my Boyz posing for Y'all

**jah-joshua**

this is me shooting my Russian Saiga AK-47...
the 7.62 barrel has been switched out for the 12 gauge shotgun barrel...
that giant clip holds ten 12-gauge rounds...
after 5 clips, i'm usually crying for my momma, 'cause this thing kicks like a mule...

i love to pull this badboy out at the range when the security guards are training with their 9mm pistols...
more Dakka!!!

cheers
jah

**JohnHwangDD**

For the longest time, I was using one of my beakie SM Veteran Sergeants.

Now, I've switched over to one of my Farseers.

I painted it, and it's a command model from my largest army, so it's more representative of my collection.

**sevend3f**

Who doesn't like rogue trader art?

I don't even play UM!

**Blitza da warboy**

My avatars story is a simple one

Blitza`s brain: "hey im bored, wanna try making an ork with MS paint?

Blitza`s brain: "SURE!"

Blitza`s brain: "AWSOME W00T!"

yeah....

**chromedog**

Mine is simply a piece of Patrick NAgel art from an old cigarette advertising campaign.

I've always liked his art style. Economical with colours, stark and striking line drawings.

His women are also gorgeous - for drawings.

**Thanatos_elNyx**

Doom. Ultimate Bad Ass

**Sir Motor**

Cypher.
Ulitimate cool & mysterious guy in 40k.

**Lord of Kaith**

Black Templars.

All-around awesomeness.

**George Spiggott**

Some guy from a scifi flick.

**Twisted_Thrasher**

My avatar is what I usually say when I read "you make da call" posts

**Flagg07**

This poor guy is bad Ash.

"Good... Bad... I'm the guy with the gun"

**JOHIRA**

Mine is incongruous with this post.

**BigBadWolf37**

Mine is simply a photo of myself in my pig mask and blood-stained apron

**Ratbarf**

Mine is the signal for my favourite 40k army, the Dark Angels.

**oni**

Mine represents my screen name as well as my blog.

Screen Name: 'oni' is a Japanese word that translates into various things one of which is 'daemon'.

The Avatar: This is the Japanese character for the word 'oni'. The character is also used in some Chinese dialects, roughly translating to 'ghost'.

How my screen name originated: I used to be one of the highest ranked Legend of the Five Rings players in the US. A friend of mine and fellow gamer called me 'oni' and it stuck.

**Kanluwen**

Do I really need a good reason for this avatar?

**Corey85**

No, Kanluwen, you don't...

I always had the Bix cover from Four Devils, One Hell. However, I've mixed it up and have gone with the devil himself, Hunter Rose. Grendel is hands down my favorite comic and I've always used cover art or drawings from the various series as backgrounds or avatars.

**Soup and a roll**

Mine's a photo I took of 'Maman' by Louise Bourgeois outside the Tate Modern. It is badass.

**Dez**

Milk & Cheese. My favorite comic of all time. I have 3 tattoos of them, and plan on one of these days having a full sleeve. I wonder if I could get Evan Dorkin to pick up a tattoo gun...

**Bash the Bosh**

My avatar is the Pegasus from the days of 5th Airborne. I'm a Parachute-trained medic (I don't call myself a paratrooper as not to upset the guys in THE Parachute regiment). Peggy is widely recognised as the symbol for British airborne forces.

**aka_tizz**

Mine represents my first reaction upon realizing i was dead drunk in the girls' dorm building

Also helps that most of the times i don't need to do the *facepalm* thing. I just point at it
