You guys and your rivets make me laugh!

a rivet a day keeps the doctor away...

Unless it's a rivet to the knee...

I second the Riveteer Avatars! I know just what I want to be! Although it will be a while before my "Rivet-ar" will have the bits he needs!

Dam something else of a side project …… OK whats the rules for this, does it have to be a likeness or something we wish we were in the RPG world

Not sure if you saw the edit, so here it is:

Dunno if it could be like waagh! Dakka, with a virtual group, or send the models to you...
just an idea ^^

So it has to be a guardsman then

Well it's just an idea- it must be approved by the council of riveteers first

^ or more like a model that represents you.. dave might be a catachan, vik one of his steampunky guys, rawson a Vost..

Rogue Wolves wrote:^ or more like a model that represents you.. dave might be a catachan, vik one of his steampunky guys, rawson a Vost..

Well where does that leave me

uhh... not sure there ldd, your models are more single model based it seems.. but the only one who knows what model represents you.. is.. you (;

Whatever army you feel represents you the most, I think.
With me, I think it'd be an ork or a guardsman, but I have more space marine bits lying around

^or a beastman with a white teeshirt that says ALOT on it

btw vik, the church of the prophet looks cool!

Rogue Wolves wrote:^or a beastman with a white teeshirt that says ALOT on it

as epic as that would be, it wouldn't really suit me.
I think vik should be an adept or engineer of some sort.

Even though Im not =L=
I think I would be a Elysian-commando

Maybe a chaos guardsman, or a grot

Vik found some pics you might like or have ….

that second pic looks like the pilot is going "oooooooh! A penny!"

You know what would be fairly impressive, awesome and fit in with all of this rivety nonsense.

That giant mechanical spider from Wild Wild West.

well someone gotta new look *cough cough* shrike

Damn Vik! you used multiple rivet options for that temple! Very well done!

Hmmm, Ovion is just a tad jealous? all you have to do is make stuff with rivets and you too could be a Leaguer like us!

And yeah, that giant steam driven spider would do.

I see no evidence of this "new look" you speak of."

well its not THAT creepy, so no problems there

OMGOMGOMGOMG LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLLHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA


Sorry, i am better now..... i think.....

shhh shhh sleep my child..

Lol, thanks RW.

at ovion... in fact i had contemplated to build a spiderlike vehicle for quite some time... this might be a future project indeed.

at max......^^

at shaso...yup learned quite a lot from you^^

at LDD...that gun i knew...and i was secretly planning to one day make me my own version...but thats more on the to do list for the next decade^^ and the walker...well that one is a referrence to all walker builders that dabble in the things that produce steam^^ very sexy one there^^
as for the Rivet-AR (thans for that nice one jake^^) i think the order of riveteers could work with a cool orkish riveteer too... for my person i have to say i am not that in to the xenohate...so whatever makes you happy!

at RW...actually i seem to be missing a point here... that face as shrikes new avatar...and the mug in his sig...what/who is that?
that´s not you shrike??? you are not that unshaven with your sweet sixteen skin??? *shudders...*

as a general rule...any human (preferably not suerhuman) mini would work...if then the mini sports some features of rivetdom then that would be a good call!

Well this place is getting weirder by the minute, after the creepy V-day pic " shudder " shrike that is slightly unnerving ……

I think you should build that gun Vik for sure, had a feeling you would have seen it but you never know …….. I though that walker was pretty cool as well and thought it might be some help

I think I might build my Avatar in the form of an ork, but there will be a slight twist to it but you will have to wait for that

the way i could picture it... have you looked into storags orks? they are `munda orks...raised by humnans... you could do a humanized ork... maybe even steampunk like with the much asked for bowtie and tophat and a monocle... pinstripe trousers...a vest and a walking stick... now that would be a nice rivet-ar...

Bloody hell Vik you trying to read my mind or something …… you are way to close there its scary

...the power that brings the riveting... it´s all in the craft

I am thinking top hat, monocle, bow tie, pin stripe suit, waistcoat, pocket watch and walking stick ………. my fluff it you like ……... was that the Empire was working on a toxin that could be launched into ork infested area's, this would then create a calming effect lowering there aggression levels and placing them in a restrained state.

This would allow dozens of Orks to be captured and further test to take place, however after the original toxin was tested on a single ork they found that the Toxin had amazing side effects, this included a rise in civil behaviour an increase in IQ and the ability to grow hair.

Although this was not the desired effect, scientists continued to work with the Ork (now named Zeno) the first thought was to educate and use him to infiltrate Ork colonies, However this did not happened due to his growing hatred of his own kind.

He found the ignorance, aggression, and General personal hygiene issues of his kin a disgrace, from this point he turned his back on everything that was once himself.

Due to his growing hatred for his own kind limited his use within the Empire, however his intelligence continued to grow at an extreme rate as well as all his abilities, including communication and social standards.

He continues to work for the Empire (even though he has no real choice) creating elaborate devices for the destruction of his own race, the toxin has since been destroyed due to fears of a super Ork race.
