many blessings to you and yours. have a wonderful day.

when i was a kid i loved getting a new bike at xmas that was always the best that and ninja turtles...dont judge me

You don't want us to judge you as one of us cool kids. Cowabunga dude! And merry Christmas.

hell yeah!

ninja turtles gi joes and legos with lincoln logs to make bases...

never got into the CORPS guys so dont know much about them.

yea damo but as an adult you get cooler stuff sometimes...in the form of plastic crack.

Yeah but also as an adult you can afford to re buy all the cool toys again! :-) I should try and find out what they were all called from memory.... Madballs, Battle beasts etc...

i remember madballs had a few when i was a kid and some of the comics!

yea awesome toys to rebuy. hooray nostalgia

Being an adult with kids now gives me the perspective of "what sort of crap toys do you want?" I have to reign myself in because what they love now is like what I loved as a kid. My poor parents

Hah Madballs and Battle Beast remember those I came across some old figures called M.U.S.C.L.E. Men little pink coloured minis mainly wrestling style.

The C.O.R.P.S. guys were always cheap and served as the front line "disposable" troops for me

They had bottle rocket jump packs or diffused (tried to anyway) the m80 bombs that cobra had in our neighbors 4'x8' 2'deep sandbox .

It reminds me how much I want to build a sand table for gaming on.

I totally understand you there...and I try to act in that way too... try to avoid the rubbish stuff tho...but it accumulates nevertheless... once in a year we go to MC D and then we get their toys too... which is always rubbish...but sometimes can reincarnate to good stuff (hobby )...

sounds as if your kids got a huge Christmas haul...compared to our stuff...my kids make a jig dance even for a chocolate santa...

They are pretty spoiled, but they have all their grandparents and a set of great grandparents who lavish them with gifts.

I also mention to family members not to buy the knock off Lego or junk toys, they'd rather get smaller sets or fewer toys that are longer lasting. Then our family buys the good things, sees that there are fewer boxes, and go spend MORE to fill the space under the tree , yes I'm evil.

Is there a list of future releases out there somewhere? I'm thinking of using the 15mm leviathan as a forgefiend, and was wondering when you'll be able to buy separate mini guns and if the mortis is coming out in 15mm as well.

LOL...I like that way of thinking a LOT^^

@rhesusforbreakfast, welcome. The mini Mortis comes out in wave three with all the arm options available for the mini leviathans at the same time.

Mark had stated that the mini morts was close to completion, but his close has been several months off before, I'll try and keep stuff up to date here and over in news and rumors when we get our kickstarter emails.

Have you not had your email for wave 3 then Theo ?

Have you dog?
The last I heard was the update about the apc and 15mm mortis being close...

@Ldd, I didn't order anything from wave three, cause I (rightly) figure the timetable was not going to get met. But I haven't seen anything beyond the pics of the close combat guys, and hadn't checked the news and rumors section. What's up with the email?

Sorry guys it was a joke so no email yet

lost in translation between the queens English and our rebellious scum English. I feel bad posting anything negative about his work because it's top notch, but I've also gotten the impression that there's been no working the game done. If WGF is so worried about how sales might not be as good as they could be then I think they need to help things along/ get mark some assistance in that department. That though could be a problem as they don't have rules for any of their other lines and just like GW they are a model making company.

were you spying on me in the 80s and early 90s... you seem to know a surprising amount about how I spent my time as a child...

I must remember humour and sarcasm does not translate so well in text form

Did not know there was an issue with the sales might keep mine in the boxes then if it dies out they could become a lucrative investment .

That tower will need a special storage area then Theo!

@shaso, the tower might well become a platform for workers to use to repair my leviathan after battle, its almost big enough.
@ldd, I haven't heard anything solid, but I also have a lot of flgs around me and most don't carry them, and haven't heard of them. Also most of the big online sellers like miniature market and warstore don't seem to be selling them very quickly.
@bbb, I watch everyone

Well Damo inspired me to do some scratch building the other day, I just didn't get the pics up. Probably a one off, but I must do some more work especially on the wall.


Also I picked up some paints at the store before work today. I keep teasing that I might do this army, I just don't want to get too offensive, so I need everyone here to help me not push the boundaries too far. Mark at dreamforge might scream at the travesty of it as well. But the grey knights are about to become......."The Gay Knights" led by chapter master Kaldor Dragqueen and the mini leviathan (dreadknights). They are here to turn the empire on its .......well you get the point . Hot pink here we go!

Okay so maybe not......hot pinks not my color

I like the design you did with the floor and the angled frame bit. As for the gay knights.....erm..Termies are $50 a box..and they are Eunichs...so...umm..no?

Nice terrain piece. Good to see more building happening here.

and they are Eunichs

So they're going to be very unhappy gay knights... Now there's an oxymoron for you...

Well, you have a point, but then there are slaaneshi marines after all. As for being full eunuchs, I think in the grey knights book there is a part in the story where a female officer sees a nude grey knight and says to herself "what a waste" not sure if she was considering the bits that were left, or just imagining what it would be like attached o the rest o a sculpted Greek god like the marine looked like.

As for price I have a full first company f terminators sitting next to me in my old chapter colors, that's why there's a test subject, he was on top . I also have a little bit of cash to toss at an army and I I did the gay knights h right way it might be 16 terminators and a couple dread knights, so maybe 250-300 through a discounter.

But seeing the pink in real life.....not sure. I might just go with the silver of th grey knights, but use pink as the heraldry color instead of red. Also talking it over with on of my buddies from work, doesn't play, but has had a blast discussing it. I think I'll hav hem be a division of the grey knights ho have been ostracized, an have left Titan and are based on...........you guessed it uranus . Four year old humor

Okay, so negative feedback a plenty on the gay knights , there goes my idea for brave sir robin . Well I'm wiped out. Work has been brutal, and with everyone sick my mental capacity was strained to say the least. The wife is just getting her voice back, I'm almost lad to hear the nagging , and the kids temperaments are getting better by the day as hey are all better and we got to go out of the house for a while.

Brother in law was over last night so we built a 1500 point king of war army. Honestly even though I go to get a game In I was so tired at that point I just wanted to get some sleep. I didn't put much effort into the list at all, and fielded a massive Orc cavalry army, with a giant and a wizard. Next time no wizard as he was useless, then again I rolled more ones in that gam than I rolled playing d&d for twenty years . In one fight I rolled 32d6s and got 20+ 1s . I forgot about my generals inspiring presence, as well as the inspiring given by my standard so I lost at least two units I shouldn't have.

Next time I will field some blocks of Orc ax, and great ax as my gore units just to tar pitted against hordes of skeletons with spears.

Glad I got another game in, and h left his rule book here so I can read over the extra magic weapons, fortification rules, campaign rules and stuff. I just have the free rules and the 32page rulebook that came in the box sets.

Will try and catch up with all the posts soon, but must take h wife's van in for repairs again on Tuesday , getting to the point we may have to get something new , not what I was wanting to do.

Ahh..the dreaded old car nickel-and-diming! Sorry to hear that, but it's good news that the family is getting better. My voice isn't back 100% yet either. I sound like I'm going through puberty again.

Well thought I'd get some pigs on a stick. No not a corn dog, but manticgames.com gores which my orcs will ride into Da fight. The only thin I don't like about hem is the quality of the casts, huge mould lines as you can see. Glad it's a beer and pretzel game, and I'm not concerned with winning awards.

I knew keeping all those old GW whippy sticks would pay off.

Here's how the first turned out, I think I'll stop by lowes on my way to work and pick up a can of brown spray paint though and give that a go.


Also saw the new league competition, must retread the finer points, but the piggies might just be getting a dude ranch . In game terms I guess we could call it a tar pit, have some nice wallows for troops to get caught in and die. Of course there might b some feed troughs, picket fences, and a sign for fast food. you catch it we'll cook it! No I'm not officially in, just had the idea while typing.

Or McRibs under a heating lamp

Well my Orc horde will be the "Big Trouble in Little China", because of the Orc cavalry being The Pork Chop Express . Of course hey won't stand up to any Canadians lest they be turned into Canadian Bacon

One of my favorite movies of all time , think it came out before the whole wag the dog deal too.

Getting ready for work, but got sidetracked by far too much YouTube.
