In that case, I'd suggest getting the HQ, Thallax Cohort Bundle, and two of the Las-Lock Thrall kits (145gbp, my math about right on that?). Would give you a small, basic force you could add to as you wanted.
Or do you just want cool models without as much concern to being a playable force?

You could throw Nerdfest09's Nudefest14.
It could become a yearly thing.
Also in regards to the ad-mech force. If you want some basic las/autogunners for basic troops (I don't know what constitutes basic troops in a 30k ad-mech army) then look at picking up a bunch of the DV cultists. They're already pretty techy looking for the most part and are easily converted for ad-mech tomfoolery.
I know Sheep started a good looking ad-mech force where he based his troops round DV cultists.
Thanks snrub, I haven't seen much of sheeps work lately so I'll go check it out and see if I can't be coerced into more plastic tomfoolery *sigh* it's a tough life!

Oh nice Theo. Blame the gays.
It wasn't the gays that bothered me, more the S&M Klingons, and the protestors were those "Christians" that go more to get the publicity than to do any "good", I forget their names but they go and get the crowd excited, get punched in the face, and then sue the people they protested for them getting punched. They even protested a soldiers funeral , better hope the guns used in the 21gun salute are full of blanks .

Each page has the best mini finished that particular month with an "appropriate" pose from Nerdy ?
I'd buy this.
I'd do this! and the scary thing is...... I CAN do this my father is part owner of an advertising and printing agency so I could in fact get a calendar printed if I so wanted! so would we want the models as the main attraction or just Nerds Nudes? i'm taking ideas for hobby related photos via PM

I vote for the minis as the main attraction(sorry, but if I hung a calendar in my house my wife would eventually see it ), but special holidays or the empty square areas on each month should get the holiday snaps...nudge nude know what I mean
1:10 or so is relevant parts, not trying to say anything about the nerdwench

So long as he isn't trying to use the aforementioned mini to cover himself. God help us the month he decides to start epic and tries to hide himself behind 15 mm....
That picture has scarred my soul.
Well, either that or the fact that I have to paint yet MORE GAUNTS has done that.
Now only a CSM player.

OK , so lets all start playing epic !
How cool ( and compact and easily storable ) would Epic scale Space Hulk be Damo ?

This idea sounds fantastic.
I'll add it to my list of my not-warhammer 6mm model range down the line : D
Ta Daaaaaa! we have some more vehicles finished, yes finished!! Whalemusic's Space Shark Razorback and my personal Rhino's (well,not my OWN Rhino's but the model ones) Whaley's looks cool and way better than I thought the model would look using the faster methods I chose, a little bit of weathering and some freehand later and I'm pretty happy and I named it Thylacine because someone didn't realise Tassie had their own tigers called 'Tassie Tigers' or 'Thylacines'
and my two Rhino transports! so happy to finally get them done after so long, they fit in with the rest of the army even after such a hiatus from the 'Red Thirst' I suffer from I think having the bones on those front panels is enough to break up the sea of red, should look epic on a Storm chicken!
So,that's wave one of Spaceshark-o-rama done next shall be some Centurions and a stormtalon for them,but in the interim I will be doing some bare heads for BigH and starting my Imperial Knight that arrived today Thanks Whaley so lots more to come soon! hope you like the update and sorry it's been awhile in coming!

Harhar. Not my fault your whole country is full of things trying to kill you.
Hey, good timing on the arrival of the second part! All the rhinos came out great. The weathering really breaks up the big blocks of color. The addition (be it tribal markings or skellis) are great touches to it.

Really nice weathering on the Thylacine. Although, shouldn't it have a striped rear end with that name...
The Skeletons and tribal markings are giving me good ideas.

Well, a couple of things today guys firstly I kinda got carried away and built and primed my Knight cut his leg and repositioned him ever so slightly so he looks more like he's striding across the battle? I can see where he's going already and with the small hood hazard striped and some experiments with the metals he'll be beating on someone soon enough!
So that's the beginning of the big boy and I have a favor for a real nerd if they're willing? does anyone know binary code? I want to add it to the model somewhere to really drive home the Mechanicus vibe
Now next up is not really my area of knowledge but I have a massive nerd friend who mainly plays fantasy but also has three 40K armies he asked if I had a 'spare' drop pod so I gave him one in return for a few spare bits he had lying around..... needless to say I don't have much use for these models and have roughly sorted through and will show you what I found in case anyone out there wants anything and has some trades?
Spoiler:
This is the spare bits he gave me..... lots of skeleton and vampire stuff, a bit is metal and a few plastics thrown in, quite a few skellie horsemen and riders lots with spears and a whole bunch of alternate spare bits and weapons too!
A couple of them (I think 3) are these really cool looking metal ones with riders got a few of these models, are they wraiths of some sort? dunno about the yellow though I have never seen these before either and would love to know what the hell they are? 2fairly large metal nasties!
Got ten plastic rotting wolves.....dire wolves?
and now for the sprues! there's a lot of stuff on them all, some have just had a few things clipped off but they are definitely useful and you can make plenty of models from these ones.
quite a bunch of zombies and skeleton to use. these first ones are more ridrs for the horses with bits.
and 2 corpse carts complete from what I can tell too! along with some walking skellie legs
here's the Zombie sprue pile! you can make lot I reckon out of these
chaos warriors sprues, mainly helmeted heads, weapons and shields and random accessories
I found this Giants sprue with some cool parts?
and Dwarves! man did he give me some stuff, there are legs and bodies enough to build some models completely and everything else is weapon choices and other dwarfish bits?
PHEW! that's a lot of stuff, so if you have need for anything just make me an offer and i'll sort it and send what you need should I paste this in swap shop too you think?
