Well it's stupid to give me Imperial Guard then limit them to a small force..WTF? It's the guard! The Imperium's Most plentiful resource: manpower!

@M0rdain:
Well, may be that's just me and my nerdy exactingness... But I hated the lazy campaign design along with an extremely stupid AI, when you can complete nearly every mission with only Cyrus and sometimes with help of The Ancient, bearing a long-range Plasmacannon
As Dsteingass said, it's not as awesome as it could have been.

@El Vic:
Well, that's the part of my RL job

And it's so true about games, based on GW settings, though some of oldies were great, e.g. Chaos Gate.
As for the Space Marine - it was even more disappointment for my taste. And I paid almost 50$ for preoder! Stupid me...

Poor ishkatar, i am enjoying Spacemarine. The Multi player is great fun. Barely scratched the single player yet, I am making the most of the 2 months of gold membership for £2, then i will get back to the single player (that and I am stuck atm lol)

yeah,
Good start on your Knight... Scale is always difficult when it comes to epic, how big is this thing going to turn out?
I think the epic model is about 4 times the size of a marine.

Panic...

ok...panic... i see my error... the problem is... it will be debatable as to what it in the end will be...either knight or titan... depends on what size it settles... and it will be a 28mm scratchbuilt... i showed a comparrision shot of the upper torso compared to an IG...



so i cant say how big in the end it will get...

et ishkatar... i know^^

and dave,,, yep... i think it wold have been a perfect oportunity to have tankrushes and waves and waves of guardsmen to be rushed into battle... like we used to do in C&C back in the days... limitations really ruins this amry... but same is with orks then...after all horde armies are in fact hordes^^

At least you could have hordes of xeno buggy things ... i shoudl really know this .. Ah yes tyranids.

A knight sits in about eight inches tall....


(NO, I do not know how many MM/CM that is)

The head of yours is looking like it is just about big enough to be a cockpit for one. This would put it at about the size of a knight.


Remember a Titan cockpit houses three personnel.....

I'm liking the Titan so far Vik!

8 inches is about 18 cm

I won't remember that....


But thanks.....

that is why rulers have both markings, so you don't have to remember

I won't remember that the ruler has two markings....


Mine actually has four scales....


I won't remeber that either.....

Didin't I already tell you I measure next to nothing and never plan anything?

As long as you remember to brush and floss and wipe, I think it'll be ok

Thanks to the world of 40k, I now judge things in feet and inches... screw the metric system

Being an American, everything is in Standard, but I find Metric more conducive to a system of interchangeable parts when building in plastic. It helps that most of my plastic is in metric too

My wife remembers those things for me. And reminds me often for obvious sanitary and aesthetic olfactory reasons....

I have a tape measure at my desk, and it is 8inches=20.3cm

Or 203mm

Metric is more useful for Math. Standard/Imperial is better for actual measuring, simply because it's more natural and instinctive. Inch is a thumb tip, foot is a foot, yard is a stride or about an arm length.

Then what the hell is a stone? Why do the British use Stone?

If she weighs the same as a duck, she floats, and is what?..A WITCH!!

It looks like it will be a knight paladin by the looks of it. that one comes with twin linked bolter, knight cannon (it shoot heavily armored man on horses!) 2 structure points and one void shield at the cost of 300 points

thank you bells of lost souls book thingy with all the old school epic (the game) mini's. there is some great stuff in there you should look it up sometimes

But not in all cases, many people have feet measuring from 7" to 14" so that is a very off handed way to measure.and an arm length was referred to as a "cubit" and arm lengths also vary from person to person as do their strides. My leg is 29inches for example.

My foot's about 10", and my leg (starting above the ankle) is about 25".

Well, with all this useful info here we can start a new topic: "The Great Shoes Swap"

My leg is wooden and I have a hook for a hand!

Ye fergot te eye-patch matey! Aarr!

Err I mean a riveter as a hand, yeeearrgh

I had a discussion with a few friends about what we would have in place of a hand... I decided on a screw-on kind of system, with many different attachments, my favorites being a prosthetic with a blood pack in, so when I shake someone's hand it's all blood and I reveal the stump while screaming, a pirate hook, a hidden blade (assassin's creed style), but maybe like a penknife with various other attachments, and an evil claw type thing.

A brass clamp for sawing plastic.

Clockwork designed to mimic my other hand's motions, with a kneck or bite controlled switch to stop it moving.
