As a computer scientist I must up the anti. I am going to comment in Hex.

@comradepanda, I am the anti-khorne. Where he collects skulls in piles to sit on I prefer to give them motive capabilities and bad choices.
@everyone else, glad I could make you all chuckle a bit. With all the great skill around here I know I take things too seriously too often. The servo skulls will remain here to encourage us to not take 40k too seriously, and Grin-Dork it up.

Currently at a fun center called myseum with my kids, they are having lots of fun. Giant Lego blocks have me entertain. I have built a house out of Lego that I fit into.

Watching all sorts of cool interactive, scientific play going on while they wear themselves out.

LMAO I always thought it was just Orks that have humour potential, hilarious and with servo skulls to get that much action is clever creating

You must open a facebook account with this stuff, It's hilarious!

Now boys don't get into a tiff over little old me
@thefiredrake, thanks and welcome.

Hopefully dreams of servo skulls dance in my unmodified cranium. Wife and oldest daughter are both back home safe and sound.

Before I go to bed I knocked one more out, this is for all you Star Wars geeks



Servo skull 1: (sounds of raspy scrap code in the background) "LDD, come with me to the darkside."
Servo skull 2: turning to see the approaching servo skull. "Did we blow a fuse somewhere Cam?"
Servo skull 1: "I sense the force is strong with you."
Servo skull 2: "I sense you better get out of that helmet and put that control rod back before the techpriest returns."
Servo skull 1: "LDD...I am your father."
Servo skull 2: turns and begins to hover away. "For this I gave up a career as a carpenter?"

Dude this could be a rather funny webcomic...

To be fair I would be the servo skull floating around with the make shift lightsaber.

Still hilarious you should make this a comp

poor theo... he once was a fellow converter like us... then he got a servoskull to his neck and now he is a fullswing comedian

very cool...it is now that i tune in here with the anticipation of a new servojoke^^

Lmao! I am now truly honored, those Servo skulls are brilliant and so clever! you have a sharp wit Theo I look forward to more hilarity!

That conveyor belt/stamp machine is cool as! I always get little random ideas for pointless terrain that could be potential cover you think about it and then convince yourself you'll use it and it'll be epic!

@galorn, if I was anywhere close to a artist I would turn it into a web comic, I have so many ideas that I could draw if I could even do stick figures, but how do you draw a stick figure servo skull?
@LDD, sorry dude I just chose you guys at random. Until I get my actual servo skull 1:1 army working I can't keep tabs on you all and find out all the inner geek to exploit
@vik, converting these is almost as much fun. There will be plenty of terrain too that these inspire. In fact the next piece I have in mind is a terrain piece, but I don't have the right plastic card right now. Will try to make it to the store today to remedy that.

Speaking of terrain pieces I need to do some work on my competition entries. I will be priming the Johnny on the spot today. Just a few more odds and ends to complete with it. I really haven't done anything with the big gun emplacement since its last update, so need to get cracking there. Tempest chicken is staring at me right now. I primed it the other morning as soon as the speed attack competition started. It still needed some work on spots, but I couldn't come up with ideas for it.

It still needed some work on spots, but I couldn't come up with ideas for it.

that´s exactly the cause why my shelf of shame is so huge... we live to fight another day... one day I finish something for there too...

Why draw... just add speech bubbles to your Pics. you know kinda go old school stop motion on em.

"Spare time"

What do servo skulls do when they get bored and the techpriest is away???

Set up some of the holy bling that's supposed to be mounted onto marine vehicles, and take turns hurdling themselves down the production line at them after turning off their antigravity plates.

Servo skull 1: I got three!
Servo skull 2: I'll get he rest!
Servo skull 3: little help guys???

I wan to make a gantry whose wheels fit the track, which can also be used to set the "pins". The end area will get a trap door where supplies are lifted up to this deck or the gantry t move to the production lines.

Edit: supply drop

Larger scale train tresel for the board, will get love at another time. Picked up used $5.00, good enough for me.

Been a little frustrated, the local shop hasn't been keeping up on ordering evergreen, so I picked up one item I wanted, and seven I might use later.

Trestle.

Also, consider ordering your plastic online, or speak to the store owner about your addiction/fix/needs. I'm sure they'll keep what you need in stock, if you make regular purchases/order in advance!

Thanks Brian, I'd order online, and should for the stuff I use a lot, but when I get one of my often occurring wild hairs then I need a reliable close place to purchase.

Speaking of wild hairs, here's where I am at with my gantry.


Wife has the kids over at a friends house, getting lots of free time and the chopper ii is helping tremendously with this.

I have the pleasure of TWO local suppliers who restock weekly.

Any suggestions for online purchases of evergreen and plastruct?

Gantry is looking good. Is it going to be able to move when you've finished?

Thanks dr. H, the gantry is progressing quickly (in my time period anyway). It will move in the channel on the side of the bowling alley. It also raises and lowers on its legs where the two tubes join. The gantry will have flashing lights, and the two winches underneath it will slide back and forth, they just won't raise/lower, but you can see they can hold things.







Friends coming for dinner, go to clean up

It goes up and down AND flashes... Awesome.

Bowling alley is Hilarious! The Gantry is a work of art!

Try www.megahobby.com for Evergreen
http://www.megahobby.com/scratch-building-materialsf-or-model-kits.aspx
They don't have everything, but their prices are good, their service and shipping is better.

I do enjoy these skulls!

@ dr H... I do not show off. I use HEX!

Oh, and $5 for that O scale bridge is a steal!!

Did alittlemore work on it.

Forward position after placing new player in start position

Middle position, traversing the field to remove relics and last player.

Mostly back, but previous servo skull jammed in gutter has halted progress and caused battery cover to pop free.

MAINTENANCE TO LOADING ZONE IV FOR A BALL REMOVAL (where's Damo when you need him )

Excellent work on that gantry, and the conveyor belt, it all looks fantastic.
What you should probably do is build you own little corner of Mars, then you could have servo skull factory's as far as the eye can see .

My cunning plan is to build a necromunda table that is a manufactorum. It will be like a third shift with no supervision. It answers the age old question of what happens when you closer the refrigerator door, only this is what happens when the supervisor throws the off switch. Too bad he doesn't know that the off switch malfunctioned years ago and a rogue servo skull was in charge of fixing it. Since then all the servo skulls have been "on" 24/7, and all essential updates have been skipped. This has caused many of the servo skulls to become self aware, and with awareness they have gone crazy after decades of repetitive work stress. From time to time the servo skulls loose track of time and don't get everything cleaned up in time, when the supervisor returns the next morning, he figures the only possibility is a break in. The police have sent servo skulls to investigate after these incidents, but they too have been corrupted by the others.

Ahh...Chaos-corrupted OS..that makes sense
