I thought it would be nice to have some obviously industrial pieces like a blast furnace or a crane as objectives. They would also have special rules.

Most definately, eventually. I want to at least get a standard layout ready to play some games. But then I have gangs to paint...I'm just not in the mood for paint yet. I really need to pace myself to avoid burnout. It's been nice to have a bit of a break. With it getting cold out I spent the evening putting the hardtop and doors on the Jeep, I will test the heat tomorrow morning I'm sure.

The Yamoto is mind-boggling, I've gazed at it before in wonderment, but have any of you seen the USS Harry S. Truman? http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=126969

Oh and my VW is beginning it's weathering process now, it has center stage on top of my Piano right next to my Yellow Submarine lamp.

another one bites the dust so to speak^^

I've still got to finish my necro gang, painted about 70% of it atm, got lots more off'f the bay and did some conversions with some of the old weapon kits they used to sell.

anyhoo i've decided on my starter item this weekend. just the little triangular bunker entrance bit, its a bit small but a perfect place to start, pics incoming

the little bit behind the "wappy sticks of doom­­™"

Sounds good.

We call our wappy sticks of doom "jams".
They're red and sticky...

I still remember the day they banned them in store, it made rules mediation almost impossible, before this we either had the two opponents fence or just take knuckle raps until one gave in...
why were they banned again

I have around 15 or so pairs of the knuckle whippers. They got banned in our stores because they weren't consistent some were longer than others even though they said the same length. And almost all of them were not accurate when compared to a tape measure.

I chopped mine up into rubble, that's about the only thing they were good for! lol

Tape measures for the win!

The ultimate betrayal from GW...

they banned the red length measures...wtf...they produced it and banned them???

Hey I like using my tape measures as they have both inches and metrics as well, how I know that 8inches is 220mm or 22cm

theunicorn is most likely talking about independant games stores, actual GW stores are only in the biggest cities in the US.

ah ok... and shaso...that 8 inches talk... are we talking about tabletop or something else now...?

The T-300 of course! I measured it and found it was 22cm remember? that was 8inches of armored super-heavy power for the Apocalypse level games!

well silly me with that rude imagination^^

HAHAHA!

lol....naww... i was that way even before i met my wife...er... on that acount that explains almost nothing and all at the same time^^

haha that emote shows more than anyone could say at this matter

yep...gulity as charged^^

OK, here i something Necromunda-ish to think/talk about...sewers, specifically big sewer pipes that figs can stand up and even fight inside.

Think of the artwork from the Outlanders rulebook cover.

ooo i like that idea! make a large sewage plant which enters into the sewers and then you'll have a whole new section of board

Interesting idea. I think you'd have to model half of a sewer to be able to use it in game. Or were you thinking of just modeling the terminus of one?

I have no idea why I snagged a pic of the French language cover though...It must have smoked too much Slaught.

What if you raised the table level enough to enclose a sort of cross-section of a pipe network around the edges of the table?

i have seen someone do that swer idea on the net... i think this is a great idea and you could get that fairly quick with a great expense on watereffects... this could be even done in some version of space hulk... you know... like only hlf high walls with many offbranching new tubes...could be a whole new table setting....



What if you raised the table level enough to enclose a sort of cross-section of a pipe network around the edges of the table?
???? didn´t get that ....could you rephrase that for us speach handicaped^^

ok. Imagine the entire 4x6' game table was raised 3".
Now imagine a cross-section view of what is underground, set flush with the edge of the table.
Sort of like this

except all the way around the table
adding another dimension to a game.

this could work well if you have the different "tables" on strings to be pulled upwards when needed... is that understandable?

no..It's a regular table at the regular height (I built my table as a stand-up table), but even on a sit-down table, just a regular table, but an underground pipe (or subway, train, whatever you want) sliced in half lengthwise, and set just around the perimeter of the table, below the surface
