Theo, you been busy. I just caught up. I must say your hobby ADD has come to my attention, along with your job. You will be in walking shape in no time.

Wow you've been busy, congrats on the 100 pages

Great work on the junk piece by the way, haven't even started mine yet.

@cam, 4" paintbrush, its the way to go
@comrade, who said getting off your medication was bad
@hk1x1, thanks, I know yours will be awesome

In the mean time I started assembling the legs of mini leviathan, got partway done with the legs last night when inspiration hit. I've always wanted to do this other marine faction, but was afraid of yellow, so I never tried it. But now yellow's my , so I can cut out all the and start to . And if the previous sentences didn't give you a clue as to what I'm talking about then you need to pull your head out of your you

Wow that was cathartic
Angry Marines power boots


Little kicker inspired by the walking dead

Boy wonder my , your just Bruce Wayne's prepubescent .

And a helmet, cause no Angry Marine is dumb enough to walk around without head protection. That's just asking for some lame imperial guardsman to blow your head off before you get a chance to

Peace out

I sense the rage of a thousand suns floating in the post above. I know he is trying to communicate with me, I just know it, but none of it is getting through.

The legs of justice present themselves. Well done. Perhaps it should still be a mini lev.

Like I said, a better dread-knight than the GW one!

Yes! Yes! The angry marine has been put to rest and the cork reinstalled, so no more censoring needed.

I present the mini leviathan with scrubs for size comparisons.

Well...I wouldn't be putting that angry marine idea too far away...but that first conversion idea made me puke a little in my mouth...
Better make it an open hand that holds a leman Russ turret in it ready to belt some heretics


corrected due to inapropriate choice of words...

Looks good so far

@vik, I see you were infected with the angry marine virus that causes bad words
@shaso, thanks

Mini still needs his at our, but this time he will not get it until all the underparts are painted. Also built the scythe according to instructions as my scratch building it into a proper handheld device was not working.

well do show us your failed attempts too... i like to learn from other peeps misery

and well... i have toyed with angry marines too...but i think i would loose too soon the needed temper to actually get them done

The legs could almost become a sentinel stand-in, from looking at your angry marine.

What the hell just happened I drop by and find pure filth what has happened to you theo dear boy

I kind of wished I got the 15mm versions as well know they look pretty dam cool nice work on them so far.

Your full size one looks bloody marvellous by the way

@ldd,thanks, the little bugger has just about as many parts as the larger model, if not more. Plus all the details on the bigger one are on the small guy too.
@vik, I didn't get much past putting parts next to it and saying bah!!!! So no real failed attempts. But I was dressed for work and my old bottle of superglue exploded when I took the cap off. Now I have this odd crusty stain on my work pants. Good thing I don't glue naked, that would be hard to explain at the hospital/ which is also my work.

@dr. H, I think it would be too large for a sentinel. The model is 4.5" tall so on par with the dread knight, and most of it was in the legs. Though it could make for an awesome mechanicus walker tank.

While building the body I thought about tacking a terminator on the front of it just to see how it would look... still better than the dread knight, but so much prettier by itself. Thought about buying grey knight termi's the other day and more mini knights, but I remembered how I dislike the look of everything on the grey knights except the helmets. I think I'm better off waiting for the dreamforge heavy troopers before making the grey knights.

Well I was hoping for some sleep Today. Got the kids on the bus climbed back to bed then my phone rang. The bus driver was dropping my son back off at home. He blew nurgley chunks on the bus. Wife came home early so I could get in to work early. Hopefully tonight sleep will happen, cause my next day off isn't until weds.

At least you don't have the most Amateur tree service ever in your neighbor's yard. It's not just the chainsaw sounds, but the Foreman or whatever insists on YELLING everything he says to the guy in the bucket and the guys on the ground carrying the logs to the noisy grinding machine. I'm seriously anticipating a log to come crashing through my kitchen ceiling

They were at my place two weeks ago. We always had people stopping to tell us how beautiful our weeping willow was in the front yard, but the power company pays idiots to trim any tree close to the lines and they hacked the out of the tree.

Hey Theo, sorry I haven't checked in for a while - been far too caught up with the AvP Kickstarter (only 5 days left !!!)

Your Angry marine sketch made me LOL

Theo, I just have the roommates' 8yr old to disturb my sleep with high pitched singing and noises as he plays with his trains, or smashes toys together.

@ruglud, I've been lurking in the AVP kickstarter, but I'm going to pass on it. The models will be available soon enough, and I'd rather see them all first. I wish it was hitting retail at Christmas like they originally said.
@shaso, I love my life, but I am soooooo tired.

Just played my first game of kings of war using GW figs, fun quick game .

Oh my Theo played a game :O

My brother in law and I play bloodbowl somewhat frequently, and he and I both had undead fantasy armies collecting dust. I told him about mantic and he went out and bought another undead horde. I used beast men and chaos using Orc rules because there's no official mantic chaos rules. It was only 1000pts, but about the size of the old warhammer armies I remember fielding 15+ years ago. Took two hours, but neither of us had played before and we were discussing through all the possibilities of if this or that happened how would it play. That level of game usually runs 40 minutes or so, so could become a very fun adventure for us.

Sounds awesome. I had my first dip into blood bowl this weekend, I think I got to play about 2 turns but still it was fun.

I downloaded the warpath rules, short rules, seems fairly quick, and the tanks actually have sensible rules, like anti-infantry weapons shoot at infantry, same witht he squads! why shoot a anti-tank weapon at people in flimsy personal protection when there is an enemy tank bearing down at the same time as a squad of troopers? shoot the rifles at the troopers, and the missile at the tank!

Likewise, my tank does not have to shoot MG's at a tank where they bounce off harmlessly, but instead at squadies as it fires the main cannon at the enemy tank!

When I actually used to play 40k, that's what the rules where. Individual fire. I Remember the fun one day in a GW store, having a battle and an ork rolling lots of 6's to sniper a tank at a thousand yards with a lascannon. Oh those where the days. My looted Leman Russ burst across the field and blew up on the first go before I actually had a go. Now I can't get on with the game, played a couple silly battles with my kids and Maaagh! Not very exciting, just lots of disappointment. "Sorry your troops are only allowed to use half there weapons at a time." What's the point of spending the points on giving your troops some diversity.

With my limited understanding, GW are giving up Finecast, and metal is dwindling, so they will have to go plastic for everything, I just hope they keep the variety of troops going, they seem to me to have dwindled that down and down. You are either Cadian or Catachian, that's it. Just stupid marketing. I would happily spend money on a Tallarn force right now, and a Praetorian force, and some cool new Ogryn squads. But as Dave said all they seem to bother about at all is a million and one varieties of the SM's who are all supposed to be equipped relatively the same. Blaaaaaaah!!!

Anyways sorry you unleashed the whinger in me, sorry, putting it back in it's cage now.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Should stop reading multiple threads at once, read Shas's comment after reading his thread and just let rip sorry, half of this pertains to the discussion on his thread, oops, SORRY Theo.

@shaso, I haven't looked at war paths rules, but hear they are just as fun as the kings of war. Sort of excited to se deadzonecome out as its their version of necromunda.
@ cam, no problem, I read most of them too, so I know what you were talking about and understand from doing the same.

Going to try and spend some time on the airship tonight unless inspiration hits me for something else.
Edit:

Front of the blimp

Rear of the blimp

Vent on top of blimp

Profile of the blimp. White plasticard on the gondola will get rivet strips and be made to look like windows. The front o the gondola will get closed in as well. The tank n the back most likely will be an exposed fuel canister, but I'm thinking of making the pivoting bottom turret into a giant flamethrower . No sure if I will add additional gun batteries, or just winglets with bomb/missile pods. The circular feature on the front I'm undecided on making it a viewport, putting ll sorts o antenna on there, or armoring it up.

In class even though every tree is frozen and it is freezing rain. I litterally had icicles fall in my collar. Now the projector won't even work. I walked all this way just to turn and walk back.

/rant

That blimb looks really cool theo

Now a blimp? Theo anyone ever tell you you have to many projects?

@nafarious, school sucks, but hang in there so you can make loads of money and have a huge marine army like me
@comradepanda, no , but I have been told I am bat crazy


Decided to use the existing turret to mount my cannons. Added the front plates to the gondola, and a rear plate as well. Tried a couple ideas for the turrets, but like I said I decided on using the main one again.

One wild airship! Looks almost like a rescue sub

Never thought of a blimp-submersible.....there are possibilities there.
