Nope, if I was joking I would have mentioned a shark-mounted option. ...okay, maybe I was joking. But probably not. Most modern trophy shops have an engraving laser; I bet you could find one that employs somebody geeky enough to give it a shot.

If you don't want to go with the laser-etching idea, I would second the pigment idea; the ability to manipulate pigments after you apply them will let you dial it in to a look you like.

Take it to a laser engraver!

Well, it's certainly more conveniently located than the store of the same name in Florida.

Beaverton? That's about two hours away, hardly "local" as the title said. Joking aside, perhaps more descriptive titles of these posts. Little things, like what game and what location.

I was at the FLGS yesterday, where were you?

For the Kursk conversation, perhaps a new topic, so as to un-threadjack the current one? For the original topic: why 1,485? Is this just an odd number to match the Nationals, or something else?

Sounds good.

1/48 is probably the closest to 40K scale.

What is the name of the store?

Main rule book.

Heh...they do when I field them. 3-5 is the range.

2nd Cav I have used (from Devil's Charge), comes in as Confident Vet for 1,945 points: 2x Chaffee (CO and XO) 5x Chaffee 5x Chaffee 1x Greyhound, 1x mortar jeep, 1x recon jeep (reconaissance platoon...never leave home without 'em) 4x 3" AT guns, 4x bazooka, halftrack mounts (these are towed tank destroyers, you can swap them for tracked TDs) full rifle platoon 4x PaK 43 (captured guns; only RoF 1, but can fire as artillery, on the off chance you like arty) Aerial observation post (mainly for Column Security, but occasionally it spots for the PaKs)

I'm up for it.

Bring a mid-war force...a couple of us are.

Okay, is this locked in for the 18th at Drumbeat? If so, perhaps a thread title update is in order...
