Finally. Now the wait until the standalone release.

I believe happiness lies in hacking what kind of person you are.

I can't stand losing stuff I've painted. So I don't. I instead budget money into buying storage solutions. I plan my conversions and don't "cheat" to get to the table faster, because I'll spend the money someday anyway. 

My solution? Don't really have one, but my 5 year old loves creepy and Gothic, so someone will probably inherit my Night Lords coming up. 

But bits boxes are forever. 

These are OK. Don't care for the jump lord, aside from his existence- somehow he looks hanging to me. Something about the pose is off. Foot lord's OK, not inspiring me, but nice. 

AAAAAAARRRRRRRRHGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH

...........still better than the Contekhar, though

Need 3 sets of CSM Termie pewter shoulder spikes. Hillsboro area. Have money, SM/CSM/DG/1K Sons bits

They need to release this already

FINALLY rebasing.

I recall someone on Ordo selling 28 to 32 mm base extenders. Wasn't Scott Shoemaker. So two questions:

1) Who was it?

2) Still doing it?

Thanks!

Change your mind?

Well, I'm taking the chain/rotorcannons and 6 plasmaguns. 

I need 5 cataphractii for a pending hobby project, but that's too much unless you really didn't want yours. I need 2 lascannon razorback turrets (just the turrets). Also need 3 old boxnaut lascannon right arms, or 2 DCCW with heavy flamer left arms.

I'd do the whole set for a 2nd Ed plastic chaos lefthanded power armor powerfist (the one with 3 fingers and a skull face). 

Else- it was $42. PM me an offer

Volkites

He's .. as expected. Nice variation on a Bloodthirster.

Mortarian lit me up. Not feeling Angron. 

Happy for anyone who loves him, though! I do love the shoulderpad

Looking for 5 Cataphract termies, pref on sprue. Can cope if the just have combibolters.

What were you looking for?

I will have a surplus of flamers, meltaguns, and choom guns

Any luck?

Longshot these days, but does anyone have an extra of this bit? CSM 2nd Ed close combat sprue plastic powerfist (left handed).

Finishing out some old project backlogs and I find I'm one short. 

Ended up getting my Indomitus early. Breaking this out of swap thread.

Thinking $80? 

Based in Hillsboro area. 

PM if interested

Have a necron half I don't need. Open to offers. 

Have in hand as of this afternoon. 

PM me

EDIT: PDX area, west side

Jay reached out, he had room. Thanks all!

So, he painted my Deathguard and 1 IW Helbrute.

I have more Helbrutes and Oblits, maybe more if the price is right- I now have a toddler, my paint time is low. Rather use my limited time to game.

Here's some snaps of the dread he did:

I don't do fleshy-armor hybrids, but my guy isn't taking commissions anymore. I just need a few jobs done. Iron Warriors. Some Oblits and a helbrute, maybe a Warpsmith. Anyone interested?

EDIT: Danggit. In PDX- Hillsboro

Don't focus the tank

When describing 40k to "outsiders" power armor is not a foreign concept these days. The main difference, from a modeling stance, between guard and SM is the presence or lack of power armor. Sisters, from a game mechanic stance, are the army in between guard and SM. So no, they are not equal, but I was not suggesting sisters were "equal" to SM, that is my complaint.

No, it's genetic engineering, part of which is a full body neural interface with power armor, allowing it to be.used as if it's not being worn at all. Most accurately, Sisters ae equivalent to stormtroopers with better gear.

 

Also not true. Females [gamer or otherwise] just want to be represented like the other humans of the setting. In 40k, human women are an alien race, functionally unique to a single army. They are a thematic army, like SW, they focus on a particular theme. For SW, that's the vikings and wolves. For sisters, their entire theme is being female... A gender should be more than just a thematic army concept.

Aside from resolution issues, this is an incredibly patriarchal attitude from someone who is, as I recall, not only male but a white male. To me, that kind of tokenism is offensive and opinion driven. I don't like Eldar because I'm an elf, nor do I like SMs because I'm a fascist warrior monk, but poor girls only are drawn to a thing because of their sex organs? If GW made female SMs, suddenly we'd be awash in female gamers because they avoided 40k due to the lack of female SMs? Nonsense.

There's a reason there's so many waves of feminism. To one, an all-female army, especially huper-sexualized, would be getting their own back. To others, it's patronizingly sexidt and diminutive.

It's a game divised by a bunch if Brits in the 80s based on a bunch of scifi tropes. So, mainly dudes and yes, overwhelmingly white. So what? They weren't making a social statement, nor were they trying to portray a happy, integrated society. It's not white privilege anymore than it would be black.privilege if it was designed in Ethiopia instead and the characters were overwhelmingly black. There's a point one is just looking for an excuse to be offended.

On fluff: You have to be compatible with the geneseed for implants, so being the same gender as the.prarch makes sense. In meta terms, it also leaves half the population carrying compatible genes in the breeding pool.

On models: Bare marine heads should look like they have gigantism, not be an identifiably ethnic type. I also think the bare heads are moronic, and don't see the ethnicity of my.marines as relevant in their armor. To provide ethnicities, the demand would be to add what, a half-dozen heads, but they'd need to be every sprue, because making the assault marine asian while the devastator is black while the tactical is white is so biased.. .

And regarding fluff, GW writes the fluff to sell models. They are very clear about their focus being selling models. I think they'd sell more models if they got some female representation in the SM and CSM factions.

This is fine, because here you're not talking about how female gamers just want representation and that's their issue, but rather that you think it's the issue and more female models would fix it. I disagree- I think it's the fascist grimdark wargame attracting a non-representative male:female ratio inherently- but that's a different item entirely.

As an aside, the SM and CSM could just as easily stand for the Space MEN and Chaos Space MEN, with the way GW models them.

Well, they're genetically engineered post humans since early puberty, whether they're more than formerly or notionally male is also open to dispute, IMO

I am actually going to expand on this: Fluffwise, I see it as the high lords forbade the Ecclesiasty from having men under arms, and the Ecclesiasty shrugging and saying "no loss, the women kick ass." To me, it's empowering because the Ecclesiasty is gender equal, in the grimdarkness of the grimdark. Sisters don't need support, and they'll do it in boobplate and heels because they're better than you.

Also, female gamers only want to play female characters, Sisters are the army for girls and those who support female equality-sentiment's sexist.

In my experience, girls prefer 'Nids anyway.

To me, pax, that's even more objectionable tokenism.

I am cool with Sisters and boobplate because of the grimdark, personally- the Thor "no men under arms" decree that disbanded the Frateris militia, coupled with "THESE ARE WOMEN SEE THE WOMANNESS" of their elaborate armor.

You're also wrong in equating Marines and Sisters flatout. It's Guard that they are intended as equivalent to, not Marines. It's disingenuous to claim "but to an outsider, they're both in power armor". Outsiders don't know what power armor is, to make the comparison.

40k is grimdark historic. Making it fit modern mores is frankly inappropriate- in my opinion. Just say it seems sexist to you and nove on- don't try to prove subjective statements right.

For sisters, a lot will depend on how the Valk rules are worded. If they can transport C: IA units, cool.

Who is thinking the allies formation will be dead in8th?
