Is 'Eavy Metal Calling?





UK

It's that time again! 2 days to vote for the next topic.


- The Wise: Strategists, Seers, Scholars, this theme is all about the thinkers and wise men in your forces. Wizards, skilled commanders, diplomats and advisers, all are ideal for this theme!

- Armour Up: The best defence is a large amount of metal between you and the thing that wants to kill you. Whether that's a plate armour on a knight or armour plating on battle tank, if it can take a hit or three then it's perfect for this theme.

- First Among Equals: Even the lowest can rise to greatness. Your entry should a single model, and the basic trooper/henchman/goon/drone of its faction, the idea being to represent that faction/army in a single, basic model as best you can.

- Hostile Environments: Catachan. the Realm of Fire. Australia. Some places are just out to get you! Your model should be properly kitted out for suviving harsh terrain and rough conditions, and/or based in a way that suggests such places.

I voted for The Wise, but again I've got a plan for any of them:
The Wise: Probably my Primaris Captain in Gravis Armor, but I could do a Tau Ethereal or just about any character from my armies.
Armor Up: I've got plenty of unpainted vehicles...
First Among Equals: Again, so many mooks so little time...
Hostile Environments: This would be the hard one. I could do some Thunderwolf Cavalry (since riding a giant wolf would be a good way to survive the nastiness on Fenris), or perhaps even a Tau battlesuit would be a good choice.

My armies (re-counted and updated on 11/1/23, including modeled wargear options):
Dark Angels: ~15000 Astra Militarum: ~1200 | Adeptus Custodes: ~1900 | Imperial Knights: ~2000 | Sisters of Battle: ~3500 | Leagues of Votann: ~1200 | Tyranids: ~2600 | Stormcast Eternals: ~5000

You love the T-Rex. Its both a hero and a Villain in the first two movies. It is the "king" of dinosaurs. Its the best. You love your T-rex.
Then comes along the frakking Spinosaurus who kills the T-rex, and the movie says "LOVE THIS NOW! HE IS BETTER" But...in your heart, you love the T-rex, who shouldn't have lost to no stupid Spinosaurus. So you hate the movie. And refuse to love the Spinosaurus because it is a hamfisted attempt at taking what you loved, making it TREX +++ and trying to sell you it.
