Warhammer Related Groovy Stuff (WRGS)

Not really spriggan. Go check out this devilfish.

Its not only nicer, but its more realistic.

And... what the hell is that missile launcher supposed to be? I can only assume it is VDR created - if i could take a MRL on my devilfish, you would be damn sure i would have done so.

First of all, it's not fair to compare a fan's paint job to that of the 'Eavy Metal team. Obviously the guy who paints models for a living is going to be better at painting models.

Second of all, I'm sick to death of that brown color scheme on Tau stuff. Everyone uses it now, and that's silly--the Space Marines are allowed to have multiple color schemes, so why not the Tau?

Third of all, that was a picture of an alien spacecraft. Why are you talking about realism?

[Entsuropi]

1) True, but i was comparing the overall scheme, not the level of painting. I was saying they were nicer colours.

2) Er... most Tau models i have seen are anything but brown? I am going to paint mine Ivory as the main colour with black as a contrast. No real reason, it just looks nice i think.

3) Phooey.

[Entsuropi]

Now thats a nice dragon. Pity about the £125 price tag.

Check out their epic 40k harridan as well.

OOOhhhhhh, its so pretty. Too bad I like dragons and have some pewter figurines at home. A shame, really.

[Fellfrosch]

Oh my stars, that's a nice dragon. Some people and their stupid expensive dragons... *grumble grumble*.

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

ooo.. I DO like that...

[Entsuropi]

Very nice orcs for fantasy.

I just want to let everybody know (at least those of you who care) That today I had my first decisive victory with my Daemon Hunter army.   I have been slowly building up this army and I have fought with it several times.  Just over half the time I lost, but when I won my battles it was just by the skin of my teeth. When I lost I just got blown away.  Grey Knights cost 25 points so it doesn't take much to shoot them all to heck.  But I perservered and kept building my army (my birthday and Christmas came in handy for that)  And painted my little dudes.
And my luck, or I would like to blame my stratagy skill, finally improved.  Today I fought my friend's Chaos army and kicked his butt.  It felt so good.

I know you guys probably don't care but I just had to tell people.

And just for Dan and those who have been reading TWG since the begining I beat my friend like a red-headed step child.

[Fellfrosch]

Congratulations. Someday, when I buy more paint and glue and finish assembling them, my Space Wolves would be delighted to face your Daemon Hunters. And since I haven't played since Audrey was born (or soon thereafter) I'm sure to add another decisive victory to your record.

I need paint and glue, too.  My tyranid swarm is gonna ROCK.  My hive tyrant alone will have between 800 and 1000 points.  It's insane.  It even has friggin' wings like a harpie, a barbed strangler like a warrior, at minimum a two plus save, and armour, extra hands for movement, what else?  An insane strength...with my one hive tyrant I have decimated three squads of space marine, some firewarriors, two drednaughts and a biker squad.  AT ONE TIME!  I love tyranids with a passion that consumes my soul... Anyway, then he died  , in simulation, of coarse.  I lack enough black paint to finish mine.  

[GorgonlaVacaTremendo]

AND IT'S ALL LEGAL DUE TO MUTATION. AH HAHA AH HAHA AH HAHA-HAHA!

[House of Mustard]

I love the new rules for Tyranids.  The only problem with having characters worth so many points, though, comes when you have a limited number of turns.  If you're playing a standard scenario, five turns is about average.  If you have 800 points invested in one guy, instead of spending 800 points on four units, your one expensive guy had better be able to accomplish four times what a smaller unit could.

Sure, no one is ever going to kill him, but will 800 points get mired down in a swarm of 80 point grots for two or three turns, and you fail your objectives?

[GorgonlaVacaTremendo]

When playing turn limit and objective games I go for the genestealers who, are relatively cheap, termagaunts and homogaunts, who are utterly annoying, harpies, who are fast and warriors for long distance.  My hive Tyrant sits in the sideline and eats cheese puffs.

[House of Mustard]

Man, if I had money....   And time... And no children...

I wish I played Warhammer more.
