Tear him and his dozen body guards a new one Vik!

Lol that sounds like a plan I will enjoy!!! The first time I went at them with my doggie and Boone ...and with a backpack full of 40mm grenades... You never saw so many flying corpses...

Sounds good! I was blowing their heads off with the gov't pistol. Oh and I have german camo influenced space ships

I just had a look there... Funny thing, while I too havetthe gov. I haven't fired a single round from it yet... Is it Amy good?

Head shots are one bullet per kill, bloody mess

I've been using the M1 (Battle Rifle GRA) Love the "PING" and the Riot Shotgun (200+ DPS) this time through. The riot Shotgun is semi-automatic, but it's as fast as you can click...very bloody! I just ran Veronica through her side quests too to get power armor, she is a quite effective tank!

Use 'Simple Green' to strip all minis.

I've killed pretty much everything and everyone with the abelarde kids bb gun. If it's backed up by the right sniping skills, you can kill everything in one crit. Deathclaw? Ping, splat! Brotherhood in power armour? Ping, ping, ping, splat!
Dominating everything with a completeley silent weapon, that has a 100 shot capacity, easily producable ammo and costs very few AP, got so boring I only made it to the end of the game to see what happens story-wise.
Now back to the painting tables, gentlemen...

I never realised how good the BB was, it always just seemed like a toy.

BB gun of doom! I also love the M-1 Garand in the game, I have the named one so occassionally buy a GRA battlerifle to fix it.

I tried some Dawn Power Dissolver last night on an old plastic marine. What I'd seen online recommended leaving it for 2 hours. I fell asleep and left it overnight. About... 12 hours. I took the ol' electric toothbrush to it, and the paint came right off. Even the black Testor's spray paint I had used as primer. Not all of it. But much more than the Simple Green which has been soaking for almost two weeks. And the Simple Green does not get off the black spray coat.

From what I see online, barring buying an ultrasonic cleaner, this seems to be my best option right now for quickly stripping models. I'll have to make sure I wash them up good after getting all the paint off though. And I may spray this one again because I missed some areas on the underside of the model.

I've used simple green before with good luck myself. For metal minis though, I've found that a wire wheel and a dremel work best.

Shas..I just looked up "This Machine kills Commies"- It seems I need to see If I can still complete that quest. Funny how it is a nod to Woody Guthrie's Guitars

Amazing how many of the named weapons can be researched and found a root for their names eh?

I recommend glanding some turbo when you go to kill Caesar cos his body guard are v fast. In fact I took all the drugs just to be sure... It was like I was in the matrix.

Turbo/jet/psycho/Med-x/ and have all the stimpaks and doctor kits and hydra ready for fixing yourself up.

Boone and I greased Ceasar and the whole camp yesterday. It seems like killing him should have a bigger impact on the world than it does...I just finished "Old World Blues" It had a serious note to it (along with plenty of silly), it explained why there are some advanced techs along with 1950's tech. Is it "The Lonesome road" that changes parts of the Wasteland map once you're done? (IE Nuke the NCR and that "The long 15" area opens up south of the Ranger camp?

In Lonesome road, if you want, you can launch a Nuke at one of the major factions, or decide to leave folks be as they are, but you find out that the one place near Primm is now open. That spot with the piled up wreckage and debris is marked "Courier 6 you can go home now" or whatever. the spot up between the and just behind the Republic Camp near Primm

Ahh I see..Just read the Wiki...The two locations, Dry Wells and The long 15 open up IF you decide to nuke Ceasar's LEgion and/or the NCR. I've played Lonesome Road before, but I opted to not nuke anyone..who knew? Basically all you get a set of Power Armor ,a Grenade Rifle, and other loot from both places.

I just finished NV..again....It just leaves you wanting MORE...and there just ISN'T another game out there like it..well Skyrim...but that doesn't really count, since it's the same engine but missing the guns and rads

oh!...I just found a couple of mods for FO:3
A World of Pain http://fallout3.nexusmods.com/mods/17965/?
Which adds 50+ new hardcore locations and quests to the map (brilliantly I might add, you walk through Springvale and there in the middle of the street is a manhole..after playing NV- you just think it was always there) Adds some hardcore enemies, companions, and trapped locations too.
I went to the Enclave Research building (next to the Capitol building now- previously just another edge rubble building) The light is low, and there is a tripwire, which starts a chain-reaction of mines and ultimately detonates the reactor of a motorcycle in there which kills Charron. Once I figured my way through that mess, there are at least two NAMED Super Mutant overlords/masters that are tough as balls to kill. Charron died many, many times before I realized I just wasn't leveled/geared up enough yet..poor Ghoul!

DC Interiors http://fallout3.nexusmods.com/mods/5573/?
Makes a bunch of the boarded-up or otherwise inaccessible buildings explorable.

There is also one that adds a NV style Hardcore survival mode. I'm not sure I want that..still could give some inspiration and get my Fallout fix while waiting on the next game...

Wow, if I knew what all that meant yet I'd be excited :-) but somehow even though I have no clue until November (when i get the system and games) Dave, you manage to convey something that holds my interest and makes me want to be there checking that world out and hopefully getting some corridor and interior inspiration for my ZM, IF after I start playing it I ever come back to 40k!!!

Oh Fallout on a playstation or X-box does not get to addd so many cool mods, on the PC version you can, and there was a couple of mods that allowed Tau gundrones as companions(One guy had like 15 with him, he was lazy, just shoot once at a target, let the drones do the work).

The ones I liked were the Bolter, Marine powered armor, and Terminator armor mods.

Got online and played me some spehss Muhreen again finally! I am pretty lethal before getting over mobbed by Orks and die. Jump-pack and T-hammer for the doom!

Yes-Man is the robot programmed to only agree with you at all times

See, I purposely avoid any add-ons or mods that take it out of the lore.
I bought Space Marine for PS3..I can't aim with the damn stick, so I kept dying and it lost it's fun. The analog stick seems counter-intuitive to me. I'm sure I could get it if I tried hard enough.

I used to run the biggest gaming clan around for Space Marine and even I thought the game sucked. It's brilliant fun if you have a nice group to play with but the game itself was badly constructed and barely supported.

...Pretty good representation of 40k actually. I kid, I kid.

I liked it, I just couldn't master the kill so many things nearly at once to fill up your health thing. I really do just like the stimpack/medkit model most games use to replenish health.

Stimpacks are your best friends!

I avoid gaming at all costs, far too addictive. Takes you away from what's really important, things like modelling. I have lost weeks, months and on one occasion years to the devils own work that is electronic gaming. With it's shiny screens and dazzling graphics, luring grown men to there deaths, with the inevitable controller flying across the room. Or the £50 mouse of doom that given enough time wears away your wrist. Yes I have a callus on the point of my wrist from mouse action, and at least one keyboard with blank spaces where WASD used to be. And sleep deprivation from gaming online with people from 4 different time zones at once. Watching your friends run off into the distance and fly off a cliff because they fell asleep with their head on the keyboard. It took years of training to break myself away, to find a place of solitude, a place were people of a kindred spirit, people who know about real things, like modelling, could talk freely and be beyond the evil menace of console, or worse gaming PC. But even here I find it, taking the life from my new friends, truly great men who model, crippled by the worst evil to have ever been brought forward from the hells pit that is Bethesda, FALLOUT 3, NEW VEGAS. Curse it's name.

I'm with you Cam - PC / console gaming is way too addictive. Over years of misuse, FPS now make me feel like I have motion sickness after 10-15mins of playing so I avoid them like the plague, whereas the Football (soccer) Manager type just eat away at my life. I'll stick with the odd game of Solitaire and Crazy Birds on my Samsung Galaxy - and only when I'm in a particularly boring meeting...

It's sad to see so many of our Dakka mates sucked in and not spending time making models

Amen brothers shout it from the rooftops . I play bloodbowl on steam and candy crush when really bored. Otherwise no computer games here. I would be sucked in. I missed an entire Super Bowl while playing Doom years ago. I've seen friends fired because they fell asleep at work from playing mmo games all night. I can't allow myself even a try at them.

HAHAHA! Cam! That is truly brilliant wordsmithing!

My Fallout marathon is over for now, spending the evening watching Evil Dead 1 and 2

I really am LMAO Cam
