You know, i think it's obvious that even talking about Slaanesh starts to corrupt your mind into a filthy cesspool of glorious degradation and filth but hot damn it's fun!

Even better when you get past the whole lust thing everyone thinks it's all about. It's excess in everything; greed, wrath, pride, whatever.

Cheers Not! that's the kind of theme i'm going for, excess in everything, with a lot of saturation of the senses, no eyes, nose etc. kinda tripped out models with a strong influence from Hellraiser and other similar classics!
and Dave..... umm you know there's three dogs there right? :-)

Those do look lovely. Our dog, who I basically grew up with, died last year. Dogs are a real blessing.
All that aside - Nice start on that Riptide! Do you have an idea for the equipment outload on the guy? A few days ago I went into a GW store (they got their store birthday coming up tomorrow and I wanted to get some info on the painting competition and maybe buy a mini for goodwill and so the people in Tale of Painters blog get something to see. Well, I ended up getting a Riptide and a bunch of paints. Now I'm a bit stubbed as to how I should equip it. Any pointers?
No pointers yet Siggy, I haven't even got the codex! :-) but from what i hear around the traps the big cool looking Ion gun is quite good, that's what i've gone with on mine, only other thing i hear which won't be an issue with someone like you is to leave the arms and jet packs off for painting *nod*
I have 3 days off in a couple of days and I am tossing up whether to continue with my Guard tanks? or to paint the Riptide? i'll see what people say and the majority of votes is what i'll paint up :-)

Sorry about your loss Sigur, I lost mine last summer too, their condition-less love makes them harder to lose than most people, I know.

My kids still mourn for our beagle who passed away several years ago. The twins were two I think, but they still love her and mention her in bedtime prayers .they also miss the puppies we got shortly thereafter, those we had to give away because they were nipping the kids too hard, and the I've wouldn't let me get rid of the kids. In the end he kids will grow up and hopefully one of the three will care for poor old mom, and suffer dad. The dogs would have just licked us.

Honestly my dogs are my best friends, Oscar is just simply the perfect dog for me, and to even entertain the thought that one day he won't be my shadow right there next to me always brings tears to my eyes and causes me to lie on the floor with the big guy and give him the best cuddles! life without a dog isn't a life at all, I think you need them to keep you grounded about what's important in life :-) sitting in the sun on a beautiful day with Oscar lying next to me with his head on my lap just looking at me with those soulful brown eyes makes me wish I could converse with him and let him know how much he means to me, and Issabella is a sweetheart too, she may not show it all the time but when she does you can see her almost trying to tell you she loves you :-) and then there's Big Willy, the newest member of the Nerd clan but has attatched himself to me from day one! that stumpy fluffy tail looks like it will fly off him when i get home from work each morning and he pushes the other two out of the way to be the first one to give me a big kiss! he's quite the passionate dog! he also follows me nearly everywhere and likes to jump up and give me a cuddle where he actually wraps his paws around my shoulders and literally cuddles me. I could wx lyrical for hours about my kids but anyone who owns a dog knows exactly what that is like!

The wife and I keep saying how nice it would be to have a dog again, but then we remember the smell, and our allergies as well as asthma. Maybe after the less furry kids grow up and move out. I still want a pack of dackshunds. 8-9 of them that I will train to snarl on command, and wear rediculous outfits.

I'm a chronic asthmatic myself dude and the Samoyeds fur is a double coat more like wool than fur, you can actually knit from it! great dog for a family like yours! not to mention the temperament they have!

We also don't have the yard they would need. We have a corner lot right next to a major road, not good for wandering dogs.

"Your mumblings are awakening the sleeping Dragon, be wary when meddling the affairs of Dragons, for thou art tasty and go good with either ketchup or chocolate. "
Dragons fear nothing, if it acts up, we breath magic fire that turns them into marshmallow peeps. We leaguers only cry rivets!
Funny, most people on my family are allergic to animal hair too. We never planned to have a dog but back then my grandma's dog died, she always had dogs and got a new one but she got a bit too wild for granny to handle so she (dog, not grandma )ended up moving into our house. First night (us all not being used to making everything dog-safe) so she managed to snatch a whole roast chicken off the counter while we were gone. Ever since then the dog never ever wanted to move out again.
Anyway, a bit more on topic - I hate to be the voice of reason (just kidding, it's really great being other people's voice of reason. It's so easy ) but my vote is on the IG tanks.

Troops: Chaos Marines
Plasma Guns x2 for 10 men or 1 for fluffy six men squads
Mark of Slaanesh
Icon of Despair (so they dont run away)
Also Noise Marines which there are some new models coming out from FW in the not to distant future. You need a Slaanesh lord for them to count as troops see termies below.
Elites: Chaos Terminators - with lightning claws to take into account their extra inititive, a chaos lord with lightning claws would go well in here to stop them running away as well as Mark of Slaanesh and Icon of Excess so they get FNP.
Saying that this is the load out of my squad led by Abaddon
Chaos Terminators 95
two extra 62
Heavy Flamer 10
Chainfist x2 24
Combi Melta x4 20
Mark of Slaanesh 20
Icon of Excess 40
Total 271
Decimator Daemon engine - very nice model and quite good on the battle field, I dont have one yet... loadout I'd say siege claw and one of the following
Butcher Cannon 36" STR8 AP4 Heavy 4
Storm Laser 36" STR6 AP3 Heavy D3+2 (I'd choose this one due to AP3)
Possessed - Go for it for modelling purposes
Fast Attack: Spawn - not great as Slaanesh ones to be honest.
Heavy: Forge Fiend or Mauler Fiend, Defiler - I'd say two either Forges or Maulers (not one of each) these will be your anti armour units.
Dont forget a Heldrake with bale flamer in the fast attack slot
Thanks GfX I shall endeavor to wrack your brains again about it tomorrow when I've got a bit more time up my sleeve but it looks pretty fun so far! probably need a clearer direction for the termies weapons so i can buy the arms for them but other than that i'm sweet!
sometimes I think a lot, sometimes I think a lot when i'm drifting off to sleep, sometimes i think a lot when i'm drifting off to sleep and come up with ideas o.k you know how i'm doing Tau? and I'm going to be weathering them? yeah? we got that far right! o.k, they're alien (duh!) so i'm going to be presumptuous and say there alloys and metals are going to be alien and different than what we see right? so I tried something by priming my Riptide in plate metal, then washing it with a selection of my ink washes so it appeared kind of like a oily sheen rippling with semi translucent colours I then added my liquid mask and primed it, so hopefully when i pull off the mask his weathering will be beautifully multi coloured and alien?
Primer.
and after the wash...
and now a couple of shots from todays Million Paws Walk with my furry kids, I hope you don't mind? we all just had so much fun and everyone behaved themselves and Oscar didn't even get in any rumbles! and Izzy and Willy attracted all the Laydeeeeees Oscar won Musical Mutt Mats and Willy won happiest dog!
and a couple more shots from my workplace early in the cool crisp mornings we have in Autumn
next three days I have off work so next three days I'll be Painting my socks off!!

Love those pics, looks like you were having a great time. Is that the nerd-wench I spy??
Shots from your work are cool because up here we're just moving through spring. Reminds me of how freaking amazing dakka and the internet is in general. Allowing friends from opposite sides of the planet to "meet" and hang out. Truly awe inspiring when you think about it really.
