May not have stirred your motivation but the idea of a Necromunda gang of Van saar has certainly given me food for thought.....again!

@Damo, Get back to work on your perver.........pretty purple boys , leave the van Saar alone
@dr.h, I think I even get to wear scrubs , maybe my alter ego dr. Nick will appear.

That is always good. At least you aren't in my mothers position where she is working her days away but not being payed. Drives us a bit crazy sometimes, its like walking on glass around her.

I guess she has an internship? Otherwise why work if our not getting paid...or stinking rich?

Not a lot of motivation with modeling. The dreamforge stuff was out so I thought I'd play around with some more troops, but instead thought vertically.

Van Saar climbing he corporate ladder. All parts are straight from the sprues. Mark has so many options on their it's rediculous. The Luger is actually two parts, handle/hand and then the gun. I love the helmets, but for necromunda purposes he's just getting a hat like the rest.

I've had one of the mules assembled for months now, but since I have 8 more unassembled I thought I'd try to make something out of another one.


I'm going to add wheels (2 front and 1back) plus some stabilizers to make the base of a thunderfire cannon. Not going too well right now, pics maybe later this week.

Congratulations on the new job!

awesome on the news buddy..i jsut went back to work my self today so everything is working out for the best...

models are looking good man.

@briancj, thanks, glad your on the mends as well, how's Alaska?
@bama, good news is right, are you back at the same place, or somewhere else?

Going back up to church tonight to watch the World Series on the big screen.....er wall. They are projecting it in the dining hall. About 40 people showed to watch that iasco last night. Only 6 of us stayed to the end. THen I didn't sleep until 1 am, so frustrated.

in another plant but back in a plant so im happy

Alaska?

No she is working working, and for some reason isn't getting paid lately.

@brian, I got you and rsjake confused, sorry.
@nafarious, she must be government then With the shutdown?
@bama, why do I see you being eaten by a giant plant "Seymour"

A little stoked that the aliens vs predator game will not be a kickstarter, and is due out before Christmas.

All I care about from the AVP game is the Colonial Marines.

unless the koreans i work for have a giant venus fly trap taht talks hidden some where in the plant i think that wont be a worry theo...

@Bama, If they do, they're probably making kimchi out of it.
@brian, they have the pics up of the marines, multipart plastic , I hope they do the apc, and the dropship, but that would be huge on a table.

Well got more info for my job, orientation on the 9th , need to go get a physical this week, and send over other info.

In the mean time the baddest trike ever.




The solo wheel pivots, as does the turret 360 degrees, and raises and lowers the barrel.

I was thinking of a gun line marine army last night.

Use iron hands rules.
Hq= 2x master of the forge with conversion beamers (book no longer has 0-1 in their description), which then allows up to 2 techmarines with 4 servitors each, 2 each with plasma cannons, that's a lot of bolstered defenses.
Elites= 3 dreadnoughts with dual twin linked auto cannons.
Troops= bare tactical squads for capturing objectives and being meat shields.
Fast= 3 storm talons ( only if I have points left over, anti air)
Heavy= 3 thunder trikes , to stall the enemies, and blow them up.
Fort= defense line with quad gun.

I knows it's spamming to the max, my worries are tank heavy armies, but might give the marines meltas, unless the conversion beamers can line the big boys up. Put one in each corner for the higher range hits.

You would think so Theo but really her boss is just a drunk, and I have no idea why she is still working there.

Didn't take long for inspiration to return.
ThunderTrike looks good, but I think it could do with a little more bulk/weight to the platform body. Maybe just like mudguards on the rear wheels, or something just to make it look heavy (so it functions as a firing platform).

@dr. H, I need to still trim the extra axel length off the tires, and I was thinking of building some bracing legs for it as well.

Just watched the last of fringe this morning , glad season 5 is over, but I want more Walter. They could do a spin off Walter 2167, where Walter introduces a technologically advanced culture to LSD , he culture quickly turns into a caveman society where everyone walks around naked and has pet cows. So glad Walter go o say goodbye to gene, even though she was in amber. To bad she never got to meet her grandfather in the show.

Those mule things Theo? where do i obtain some from? can you get them in bitz places yet or do i need to buy multiple boxes to get enough to create my own Medi Chamber in my ZM board? ;-)

That pun... is huge... and possibly black and white humor here. Nice thunder trike, 3 thunder trikes is a great support of fire. The dreadnoughts are not doing much for you. Lose them, take 3 storm talons instead - more viability/options. Take 4-5 5 man tactical squads as troops, maybe some servo sniper scouts. Tech marines with power fists can punch those tanks open if your conversion beamers wont do it.

But all I want is the APC and the Dropship.

Yeah, I saw that and assumed you hadn't finished yet. Legs could do the trick.

I think that chassis would make a fine golf cart Theo!

Theo back in business!

They come three to a box out of the Dreamforge stormtrooper accessories set. with tons of weapons, bits, stick grenades, and military crates. They are a great value. I picked up three during the kickstarter, and I think they sent me one extra by accident (they shorted me on something else), but told me to keep it and sent the missing other item. Dreamforge and Wargamesfactory have beenexcellentwith fixing problems, wish they were a little more accurate with their expected shipping times, but the models more than make up for it.

@comrade, thanks, I'll look into that build, but I only have one storm talon, though I'd like to have more , also I just like the idea of a gun line with dreads and cannons, and marines to boot.
@Brian, Yeah, I know the feeling. Though the Predator minis they've shown are gorgeous.
@ Dr. H, I'm just at a loss for how to do the legs,maybe later this week.
@Dave, golf is no good around here. But Maybe for minigolf, but with it being Minigolf I just see shrine cars for some reason.
@ Shaso, Back in Black....and yellow.

Need to get a haircut for my photoshoot tomorrow. I go for the physical, blood work, TB test, and paperwork. I'm really tempted to shave my head, beard and eyebrows two for one as I will be mr. clean at work and I can be an observer for halloween. My wife would have a fit so it's actually a triple play

You people keep making me want to start up a marines army, but every time I think about doing so I realize that no one I know plays warhammer that much anymore.

Not yet ready to build all the Kruegerians and their monster walker just yet, but I will be doing a lot of grinding and drilling to set those LED's up on that beast!

I can't tell you how eager I am for the wave two stuff to hit retail. My only concern is not going crazy and getting a couple titans more. I think I'll just bit order the scythe when it goes up online, but might get two of the 15mm bad boys.

You keep thinking about building marines. I'm thinking about rebuilding Tau. Mainly because no one wants to buy this off of me.

Chapterhouse super heavy tau walker.

I've seen an excellent version of his painted up like a robotech Valkyrie, which leads me to think multipurpose. I didn't get in on the robotech kickstarter, but this could be a great enemy vehicle/vessel as well as tau super heavy.

How much?

I am working on my Tau, just traded a good amount of Menoth for 9 crisis suits. Finally I will have all of them that I need to play the right way.

So started painting again. The dreamforge guys still need a color pattern that I like, so thought I would try a desert camo, never really gave it a go before. Does it need white in it?


Base is rakarth flesh, spots of bestial brown and Gretchen green.
