RGMW Outtakes and Rogues Gallery

Sorry, I am a little late. Been busy but never fear, they are here. There is a theme here again: * * * I sometimes think Games Workshop should sue themselves for diluting their own product line... * * * Yeah, but where's my Hop-Splat gun?  are you sure you want an answer to THAT question from THIS newsgroup? I'm just glad the SAG is back.  Can we leave your mother out of this? * * * Well, that's cheaper than buying from ForgeWorld, anyways. So is buying real estate in Manhattan. Hell... buying Hookers in Manhattan is cheaper than buying Forgeworld. That's even including the Penicillin afterwards. * * * Is there anything a Dremel can't do?  Cuddle? * * * You know, when I read the news coming out of Pakistan that Musharef had declared martial law I was pretty enraged. Then I read he was rounding up and beating lawyers. I don't know what to think now. * * * people who nitpick and criticize other folks' work ain...

by Myrmidon A while back I asked some folks for some suggestions with a project I was wanting to do - namely making casualty figures without bases (like the old metal casualty marine figures from the RT era). I got a couple badly mangled gaunts, and a gaunt model from a box set I ordered a while back (apparently hand sorted with a bucket loader) and I thought it would be cool to use them as casualties when playing. However, I wanted to make them lying in pools of their own epoxy 'blood' rather than sticking them on bases and then doing the epoxy for blood. The main 'sticking point' as it were was that I had to find a surface I could pour the epoxy blood pools on, and let it harden with the figure in it, and still be able to remove the figure and epoxy from the surface once the epoxy had hardened. So, I experimented a bit, and I thought I'd share the results in case anyone else wanted to do their own. I tried pouring tinted epoxy on the following surfaces, ...

At long last I've finally gotten the time to do the article on rare- earth magnets and converting a plastic Carnifex using them. (As well as rare-earth magnets in general for a variety of model conversions.) The pics for this article are all located in my Photobucket web page if you want to look at all of them at once… What, Where, and Why? I use the following sized 'rare-earth' magnets on a regular basis. NdFeB Disc Magnet, 3/8 in. x 1/8 in. NdFeB Disc Magnet, 1/8in. x 1/16 in. NdFeB Disc Magnet, 3/16 in. x 1/16 in. What all have I converted with rare-earth magnets? Lets see… I've converted Dreadnoughts with standard plastic arms and heavy resin Forgeworld arms, I've used them with Armorcast resin critters, I've made magnetic mounts on GW Rhinos to convert them into Preds at will, I've made magnetic mounts on weapons hard points to swap out weapons on Predators, Whirlwinds, and Razorbacks. I've used them on a Forgeworld Hydra gun emplacement to make i...

Question were asked and Myrmidon answered I have read (in more than one place I think) that you can / should "wash" your brushes after use. As in with soap. My question is (i) Does anyone here wash their brushes with soap (and water I assume) after a painting session, if so do you wash all your brushes? Yes - absolutely. If not, you already know what happens if they get built up with dried pigment in the bristles. Only the 'sable' / hair brushes and / or synthetic brushes too? Everything gets washed - but it's not only that you wash them, but how and what you wash them with is extremely important to the life of the brush too. See the answer below... And (ii) What kind of soap do you use? 'Normal' hand washing soap (cake or liquid?), dishwashing detergent, laundry soap? Just so you know, I've got a Bachelors of Fine Arts degree and I graduated with a dual major in Drawing and Painting. If you've never bought professional grade Artist's water co...

> You know, I had a point-by-point response all typed up, too. When it was done, I looked it over, and deleted it. It just seemed too caustic, and I didn't want to flame. This from one of the regulars here? Remind me to start marketing ice skates in hell. :-) as a reader of RGMW I can empathise with what happens without toilet training......... and the bumper stickers: 'Honk if you love the Emperor' 'I only break for Titans' 'How do you like my tank shocking? Dial 1-800-EMPEROR' 'My other vehicle is a Warhound' 'Little Machine God On Board' 'If You Can't See my Sponsons, My Lascannon Can't See You!' 'I wouldn't be caught dead with a Necron' 'Few Sisters of Battle Admit their age, Few Space Marines Act Theirs' 'I like Orks - they taste just like Chicken' 'Happiness is a belt-fed bolter' 'All Librarians present, raise my hand' Eldar do it in skimmers Freem if you love Marines...

i t's more like a vast carpet of wet shit-cement. I've never known poultry to crap in anything so tidy as a pile. I'm just surprised that you've known poultry. And people wonder why RGMW has such a fowl reputation! True, but by RGMW standards thats just chickenfeed........ What a chickenshit comment to make... You bunch of turkeys. Surely they'd be worth a guinea or two? Oh! That answer is down right Cornish! *sigh* it was only a bit of friendly bantam That is just egging us on you know. think the thread needed a crop. Oh, damn. Is it emu or me? Oh, the talons that we sew. These are getting hard to sustain now. That one was a bit too much of ostritch. I did quail at the sight of that one...but chose not to stick my beak in at that point. The animal pun threads are some of the worst. It's like Monty Python writing the syllabus for a zoology class. The worst part of it is, one group's crowing on about it, while the other is circling the thread waiting to...

Yes, but right now I can't even afford a paintbrush. Or shoes. Clothing. Food... I'm sorry to hear that you've "gone native"... "...Meanwhile, a man urinates on a wall and a woman watches him, looking pleased..." Funny est, but a tag of warning would be appreciated on things like these... some of us are viewing these landmines from a corporate structure. :P It was a link posted on RGMW. What more warning do you need? I'd offer you my phone number but I'm unsure of the nature of your crotch parts. Hardrock, who can browse porn at work You may have the two words in your name backwards, at least after a bit of "work." Oh, and the next time? Remember to stop typing after the punchline. Now that would be an interesting army, you have your normal Orks which are prone to doing wacky things and using overwelming numbers to win and then you have your "Chaos Orks" a well oiled no nonsence fighting machine... ;) P.P.S. Okay, I admit it...

It's low quality and not nearly as entertaining as the stuffing I get here daily. I've bought some Magic stuff in its place, but mostly the almost non-existent spare money I've had has been devoted to music, books and travel. Yeah yeah we all know that's a euphemism for party drugs and cheap whores.

if I saw a unit of models hit the table at a points cost of 40-45 points each (with 1 measly wound), i'd be on them like Nurgle needs a breath mint. I couldn't understand a thing you wrote, but I agree 100%! I can see why they've outlawed firearms in the UK. People like you wouldn't have any toes left. > We're still waiting for Codex: Squats, if that's what you mean. So they're not in the food chapter of Codex: Tyranids? >> Isn't WD the definition of foolishness? > Well they could hardly call their magazine "World Domination" now could they... Good point we need to go back to scaring the living shit out of Fat Bloke.... If 40K were a produce section, the Organic section would be very small indeed. There's a small but vocal group within the imperium that advocates the teaching of Incompetent Design theory for any race that had a codex written by Gav. "Mr One's more like a urinal puck - something that gets pissed on when...
