Great minis AND Monty Python quotes? This thread has it all!

He is ugly in the face scarper - in a cute sort of way - like one of those dogs with the crushed snouts might look if you shaved it and painted it purple.

Cheers RSjake - its one of those universal things that cool people like monty python - only heartless killjoy fascist baby-stabbers don't like a good chuckle now and again. And we don't want them in this thread do we now.
I occasionally meet people who say old comedies like monty, red dwarf and black adder are dated and they just aren't funny any more, but I suspect these people aren't real and are in fact just androids created by the new world order to undermine us and make us watch The Voice.

Furthermore on the subject of old classics I have just purchased The Dark Crystal and the first two seasons of Sliders (whisper it: sliiiideeeerrrs) and so qualify as being successful and happy in life. My boyfriend bought the entire collectors edition of the X-files which I find rather strange considering he thinks aliens, bigfoot and the paranormal are phoney-balony tin-foil-hat fodder. But he enjoys it - it must be the willing suspension of disbelief that does it.

well when first aired i liked the x-fiels... but now whenever i see them while zapping through i can´t help laughing at the show... the look...the horror...XD

and old british humor outdated...??? WTF??... never... the multiverse and eternity have not enough time and space to make that possible...

X-files rocks! And Weety, those people also think that you should be ridiculed because you are smart and have an imagination, it's a hate tactic that fascists build into society to make everyone mindless, obedient fethwits

I'm going to sit here and think about Wade for a moment. Mmmm. Wade.

Okay, that was my Sliders moment. You may now resume your normal day.

There was a time when I thought I had imagined watching Sliders. No one I hung out with had seen it or ever even heard about it. Thanks to the internet, I now know that it was in fact real, and I don't hang out with those people anymore..

I have stated my adoration for the Dark Crystal many times.

Also, I need to start reading the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy....all five books of the trillogy.....again....for the twentieth time...

Oooo good news everyone - I managed to slyly swoop in with a last minute bid on 6 squigs! Nice big ones with teef and with a pair of gobo drivers. 3 pounds a squig is actually quite cheap too!!! So very soon the space orks will have some pets. I don't know if there are rules for space squigs but who cares!.

Well, there are bomb squigs... of which I am very fond. Squigs with high explosives strapped to their backs that are fire-and-forget anti-vehicle missiles (that sometimes aren't very discriminatory about who's vehicle the blow up).

There's also an ork character that can turn any other IC into a squig... so you could have a squig that used to be a marine, eldar, IG or sisters commander for instances. "Abbadon the Despoiler..... squig..."

Few things in 40k are funnier or more satisfying than turning your opponent's hot-shot character into a squig!

how on earth have they fluffwise justified that rule git?
and i bet someone goes spare in a game if you pull that card...lol

i watched sliders till it got too confusing with all these invaders from different timelines... and i think it wasn´t even completely aired till the end here at all... tho in the beginning i really liked the show... after all it got john rhys davies...

It's the ork's wierdboy special character. Basically any IC within 18" and it's a roll off to see if they're squigified or not. Way too funny. For some reason... chaplains seem to be the kind of IC my guy has the most success against.

Yes he is a great actor and has an impressive voice - Iike the one where they mistake him for pavarotti.

The first two seasons were the best. They were fumbling around for new ideas later on.

Lol RSjake - It was a classic but fairly obscure unless you liked sci-fi. I'm sure most of my friends wont have heard of it either but more fool them.

Gits - that sounds eeevil! Imagine! During my short time playing 40k I'm afraid I was the kind of player to suprise my opponent by springing fun obscure rules like this on them. I remember it well -
(Enemy)"hah that lone champion will never hurt my
commander! hes got 3 wounds and thoughness 5!"
(Me)"So you never read the rules for vortex grenades then..."

LOL! That's ace weety!

actually i take your word for it... but you must admit it sounds a bit like a made up rule git?

and i bet it must be total fun turning some badass mother IC into a squigg....that must be one of the hilarioust moments in any game^^

I have an official metal warboss with an attack squig...Squigs are an armory cost that's all. Ork rules are more open to interpretation than the suck-ass stringent IG organization.

er... now you say that IG sucks...why didn´t someone poited that one out to me earlier?

well, it doesnt suck...it's just more rigid, and unflexible with the current codex...you have to have a LOT of meatshields to fill the stupid 2 troops and 1 HQ slots. It is damn near impossible to play with a small force, you have to take a big army to be competitive

well that is for sure... and i was just making fun really... also it is alwayxs something that i think of the IG or even the IoM that they have a yardstick right up their bum...they have truly the look of constipation with them...

I have no idea why you would believe this.



My army is almost 60% painted and it has only taken me since 2004. I'm almost ready to begin the washes, highlights, and weathering.

What? Constipated? I'll have the commander tell you off!!



OK...maybe he does look a bit constipated but at least he has the toilet paper caddy standing at the ready when he is finally ready to act.

Now back on topic! In my best Ricardo Montalban voice, "Places everyone!"

Weety, love the Hybrids and that fantastic car. Looking forward to the squigs!! I have just one of my own, a banana squig named George.



He's part of my warband for Mordheim. I used a bit of sticky dripping clear glue to make him slobbery.

Can't wait to see what you can do with six!

ah... researched him on lexicanum... today is a big educational day for you and me...*pupil bows to teacher*

Not necessarily...

HQ - Lord Commissar - 70 points base - 1 model
Troops - Veteran Squad - 70 points base - 10 models
Troops - Veteran Squad - 70 points base - 10 models

Total for 1 HQ & 2 Troops - 21 models and 210 points for the minimums. If that's a lot of repetitive painting and a LOT of meatshields, methinks any 40k army is going to give you problems...

..and your ass handed to you by any opponent other than Tau There isnt enough flexibility there to do anything except force a stalemate..if you're lucky. Vets need transport, otherwise how are they going to get anywhere to score?

Typically rude of me - falling asleep in the middle of a conversation. IG are alright but I would rather field them with some real badass allies (can you still do that?)
JB - 2004?!! Jebus! I think in 2004 I had completely forgotten warhammer ever existed (except in dreams - do you ever get the dream where you suddenly find that you have thousands of boxes full of minis?) and was more interested in where the next debauched party was. 2004 was such a long time ago, hope you finish soon!

Meatshield is a good word - you could market a range of burgers and call them meatshields. Lol

Banana squig? I didn't realise they had flavours!

No allies for IG right now except for Apocalypse games. Maybe Sixth Edition 40K will change that unhappy circumstance.

I never remember my dreams when I wake up. Perhaps that makes me more focused during my waking hours or just more inclined to daydream?

Orcs and goblins can tell you what flavors there are for squigs. I just believe that it is easier to visualize their color schemes if you think of flavors...or maybe exotic gum balls and other candy...or perhaps just desserts in general.

I should finish my IG in 2020 if I can ever stop buying new models.

that is so sad and true for so many of us... me including...although i secretly aim a bit for a date later than yours^^

I just woke up with a song in my head, "ebay' by Wierd Al, specifically the lyric "hey a Dukes of Hazzard ashtray"

Psycho-analyze that one!

better not...better not...
