So for the leviathan mortis all this anime talk had me thinking, how's about giving him some swords, elegant Japanese katanas?

I've had a copy of samurai swords sitting around for so long, never played it, got it for the swords but they were too big....until now.

So I can do samurai style


Or wolverine. You know the Japanese samurai born in Canada, played by an Austrailian for an American pop culture, who acts like a Sicilian smokes like a Cuban and drinks like an Irishman. Who have I not stereotyped yet?

Problem is the game came with 5 swords, not six, so either try and find another sword, build it from plastic card .....

Or do the wolverine intimidation with the other hand.


Or just go messed up American action movie wannabe.

And what if the enemy Leviathan brings a gun to the fight?

I think samurai style works fine for me.

wolverine style just seems a bit of a waste of good katanas...

Yeah first pick is more Musashi dual wield style. My crusader however is double dealing gatling gun doom

Thanks guys ,

I think I will go with the sword wielding hands as I can take them out during game play and just call them fists.

@shaso, I have two of the crusaders, sadly one is still untouched, and plenty of arms to swap out. Technically I have three crusaders because I have one of the original resin jobs from a few years ago only partially assembled.

Ok...have fun waving your sword when a Volcano cannon winds up from a 1/2 mile away

Oh in Apoc, Titan close combat weapons do have one good point, they count as Strength D

That means if they hit, they destroy the target.

I love the sword bearing lunacy! More dakka rules, so why not more choppy?!

Absolutely the Mortis model! Can't wait for my 15mm ones to ship... eventually

OOOO pointy. Needs a manicure.

hmmm...if you go for the wolvie look... then I would suggest you make scratchbuild claws from PC...also you have to do the mutton chops too

but I still would add two katanas on the back... just for the hell of it

and I know it is kinda rude... but the one in the middle claw always was worth a chuckle for me

The middle claw always gets my vote Vik, may not be polite, but it gets the point across .

Been lazy today, very little sleep because of work last night, and the wife is hosting a baby shower today. 20+ female teachers all gossiping incescently downstairs means no rest for the wicked. Luckily the kiddos are at the grandparents.

I know wolverine is a huge character, but it always catches me off guard when everyone jumps up hen he's talked about . When all the women folk leave I'll have to drop a picture for all of you since you like wolverine , but I need to know if you guys like Jim lee also before I post the picture. I'll give you guys a hint, he's from Saint Louis also .

jim lee is an artist I like quite a lot... I loved his time with the xmen!!! (or any other x-related title for that matter!!! ) ok...some say he made characters without any realistic proportions... but well... if you look at a domino pic... would you point that out?

baby shower party?...without kids in that age???...why hosting it at your place? I am confused...^^

but it gets the point across ...lol...good point...er...pun

I prefer Beast to Wolverine myself. Besides being played by Kelsey Grammar, in the LEGO Marvel game, he has all the skills of Wolvie plus he's smart AND runs fast. Logan isn't exactly one of the smartest heroes.

dave, I only watched the first 2:40 of he video, I couldn't stand anymore beast gardening
@vik, its one of her teacher friends who is having the baby. They've been trying for years, and this is the first pregnancy to go into the third trimester .they are a few years younger than us, but she and my wife are like sisters.

Well spent time looking last night for the surprise, but I guess it's on me, I never took it out of whichever box its in hen we moved . Somewhere I have a framed drawing of wolverine done by Jim lee BEFORE he became a comic book artist. He used to shop at the local store and showed off his work and he cashier asked him to draw wolverine, he drew an awesome pic for him and later that year started working for marvel. It since has been authenticated by Jim lee and notirized as his first drawing of wolverine . I got it from the guy who worked at the shop years ago and took it to a con where lee was at, an he recognized it. It's he crowning glory o my collection......somewhere .

Theo, you got Lego'd by the guys!

wow...I would estimate the worth of that artefact if I was you...... if the times get really hard you are sitting on a small gold mine I'd say...

I like the Wolverine claws vs the katana's. Makes me want to get some of the dreamforge stuff

@Physh, Thanks, the Katanas came out of the board game "Shogun/Samurai Swords", but the dreamforge stuff is awesome
@Vik, I don't think I could part with the picture unless an obscene amount of cash was tossed at me, like the character and artist too much.
@Shaso, Indeed, at least being Lego'd is not too traumatic

well I forget how we got onto the superhero's, except for maybe the wolvie claws , but I thought I should toss out this link just FYI

Seems a Marvel Superhero miniature game is coming out in 35mm. sneak peek of wolverine and Ironman

I wonder why Movie Iron Man and Comic Wolverine?

I know right! Beast is freakin' cool! yet doesn't get nearly enough love in my opinion! he's one of my favorite characters ever!

new pictures of Beast before he started his weight lifting classes have now appeared on the net. Seams he was using steroids

Just don't try anything or he'll lay the smack down on you

fool...he could have saved his spine...but he had to follow the urge to steal his cookies....dumbaff

the grover one was supercool...in fact I would go so far as to call it...:





also...I think this needs to be seen...:

lol that looks like iron Bert

it also has a tom and jerry feel to it as well^^

Just dip your Leviathan in glue, then sprinkle Blue flocking on it Theo - no need for paint!

now there is an idea...

gotta get the claws done first

Sideburns then?

Smoke launcher sideburns!
