Outakes for 2011

It's better than waking with a hangover and vague memories of something to do with a goat...

> damn that thing looks like an AdMech mechadendrite!

I'm sorry, but until that comes with descriptors such as"strap on" and "battery operated" it will NOT receive the RGMW stamp of approval, mechadendrite or no!

When the Queen didn't have a mustache....

The bad news: Mo's gone to ground in a Maltese bunker.
The good news: It's between an accordion factory and a mime school.

I get confused on the whole Ordinatus/ Capitolus/ Leviathan thing. I think Ord was a Mechanicus beast? Capitolus was ... Ministorum?

Pretty sure the Leviathan was a construct of the Squa-

Any of them good at painting miniatures?

> Digilasers have lascannon stats? seriously?

Haha. No, that would be silly!
It's Lascannon, Multimelta and Heavy Flamer ...
Oh, and JDWs also reroll failed to-Wounds in CC.

All the more opportunities for conversion...

So it's in the Dark Angel list as well then?

Yeah I just saw one fly down the street on the way pick up his pizza and some twizzlers.

Honestly, is there actually someone on the staff of these games who genuinely believes the reason people haven't created battle walkers is technological rather than, say, because it's basically a really stupid idea militarily? It's a bit like suggesting that the wheel became obsolete with the invention of the battle ostrich.

Still, it's a good deal if you want to pay GBP 50 for a Steam Tank with the firepower output of a really angry crossbowman.

How can they expect to sell The Hobby at those rates?
It must be something in the water around Lenton. Lead?

Heh. That'd be ironic ...

I'm having real trouble imagining Old Bear slipping off to the bog for a read.

Shpadoinkle!
Using the Auburn and Novi GWs as benchmarks, that's @1:1 scale!

Translation: "Veteran playtesters" = "The guys in the Studio play a lot of games". "Feedback" = "Wow, k3wl! Know what would be even more sooper-l33t? Twin-linked lascannons! On every finger!!!! Which they can use while flying a wolf!!!! Yeah, THEN people wouldn't laugh at Grots!@#!!!!"

At least we know why the Americans invest so much in Afghanistan - they may not have come close to achieving their objectives but hey, they've got a shitload of victory points - they've held Kabul for years!

yes. yes, I do.

I meant to imply that the Bile's Ret figs were N****h-grade ugly.
Evidently, in Lenton, "enhanced" is synonymous with "hydrocephalic".

Send me all of your stuff. No? Damn... ummm.... Tell yourself "Everytime I paint a full unit, I can kill a prostitute."? That's not helping is it?

Outtakes: March-September 2002

March through September 2002 The poster with a Take No Prisoners attitude to music vs. the poster with a Takes No Braincells attitude to posting. This requires popcorn. So what, you're going to send DJ Wolfe over there? His "Take No Prisoners" approach to music is sure to have the Iraqis bleeding from the ears in no time.

Outtakes for November 2007

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...

Make your own casualty figures

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, ...
