WAAARGH!

Here comes the high lift!

Now I just need to see how different it is from the IA8 version, if the build rules are similar I can at least mock one together.  Moar fasta! Moar Dakka!

I've been waiting 20+ years for Allies to be a thing again.  Let'em come!  Harlequin Land Raiders for all!

I think Orks in Escalation would be hilarious, but I don't want a Stompa (Speed Freeks fink iz too zoggin slow!) Does anybody have IA: Apoc I could give the Ork Fortess stuff a gander?

How many of us here build an army totally based on models we want on the table so they look cool, rather than their effectiveness?  I'm finding that it's totally fun to do this with orks. 

I have Sicaran Battle Tanks in my Irons hands for cause they are efing cool lookin, not for effectiveness.

I'm showing with Orks and X-wing.  I'll take a stab at a stompa...

Honestly, I feel we are all responsable for this climate.  Too many times when we get a new codex our first thought is "how can I crush my opponent" rather than "how can I have fun with my friends"  Yup, there is codex creep, but it's on us to make the game actually fun for each other.  If you keep bringing the wave-knight-rip-formation of doom against me, I'll tell you it sucks.

It reinforces to me that GW isn't in tourny business.  They are in the answering to shareholder business.  Of course they are milking it for everything it's worth.  So do camera companies, so do auto part accessory companies. 

And now I painted something! :)

 

Granted, its not great. I'm testing out a color scheme for my eldar. The ink I used was quite old (like 20+ years old), so I think my next test model will use something a bit more current.

Now that is a vintage model.

Rather than shill on my conversion thread, I figured it was time to make my product announcements over here. 

Wartorn battlefield bases now available: http://conversionfanboy.blogspot.com/2013/04/fanboy-forge-products.html

I'm willing to cut deals for trades and bulk pricing for Ordo Members in good standing.

Sanguinus reflected the Emperor's nobility and compassion.

I will bring 1500 Pts of ..... something...Probably necrons to match you :)

Bam

Never mind.  I figured it out.  It's simple.  If you are using Blogger and want an image in your post to show up in someone else's blogroll you have to upload it to blogger, not just provide an image URL in the post.

Simple really, explains why I couldn't make it go...

Anyone know how to allow thumbnails to be displayed when other people add you to their blogroll?  I'm using blogger.

I'm bringin 1500pts of Orks if anyone is interested in some 40k action.

Got any 40k bits?

So my nerdling daughter is really into dragons right now, but not at all interested in SciFi.  She said she'd play a dragon game, so  I figured I'd use the X-Wing system with some house alterations for some dragon battles.  Before I embark on this type of project I'd like to get a line on some appropriately sized dragon minis.  Man O War Dragon riders would work, but they are spendy, if you can find them. 

Anybody have a good source for dragons about the size of X-Wing minis?

Aaaand the Ork T34 project make some progress...

I'd be interested.

Single piece, but swappable heads! 10 Pounds sterling is a good price...

Base Commission: Complete!

Silicone Molds:

 3x 40mm:

10x 25mm:

60mm

6 Ironclads with a Heavy Flamer, a Meltagun, and 2 Hunter Killers each! Run them with the Iron Hands trait. Not competitive (get off me Abuse Puppy / Pretre) but certainly a cool look and lots of fun to play in my humble (lol) opinion.

The cornerstone of my build. I'm going with 3 Ironclads, a Contemptor, and 2 standards with long range fire power.

I have a couple of metal stone trolls I'd like to trade.
