Not Everything I Build Is 40k

Do you wanna build a barbie? It doesn't come in one piece.

Just in time for the Christmas BBQ I build this today, and I'll tell you what GW's building instructions are several orders better than these guys

Good job I've spent time in fabrication, they are a bit vague.

But I muddled through and only have 2 pocket screws from this build.

Now to check out YouTube to see if there are any videos about how to do the smoking...

Forge World Bulletin 14/12/15


Correct me please if I'm wrong but isn't that a new gun on the Leviathan ?
From the post;
THE IRON LEVIATHAN!

Leviathan pattern Siege Dreadnoughts are just awesome! They’re huge and massively destructive, who wouldn’t want one in their collection? This week I caught sight of a new Leviathan in the Forge World Studio painted by Keith Robertson. It’s a perfect addition to an Iron Warriors Legion... 


And then you get 2 more t-shirt designs and a brief bit about the 40th Birthday bash on January the 2nd & 3rd.

Oh My God! One Happy Proxy


Who's got 2 thumbs and an awesome dad? THIS GUY! My dad just bought me this mk1 Spartan for Christmas, quiet literally grinning from ear to ear right now! Been after one of these since I firsthand the conversion in WD all those years ago.
So planned to run this as as standard Land Raider with a Hammer of Caliban Formation. Now just need to get 2 more Whirlwind and 2 more Vindicators to polish those 3 off.

750th Post!

I've had jobs were I didn't't put this much effort in!
So post 750 and what do I do? Post like one of those French girls.

Not mine of course, borrowed from 40k for grown ups on Facebook. He almost has the pose right as well. NSFW Alert!

OMG nipples.

Another Trip To WW


Plans are afoot for another trip down to Warhammer World in January, the table is booked, but just we only got a standard table (well 2 pushed together as there are up to 6 of us going as of now). So lesson learned-keep an eye on when the table booking opens and get in quick!
So plan A; We have 3 Eldar armies, one Craftworlds, one DE+Harlequins and my Harlequins, with that in mind and also how long the game took last time with just 3 of us, I've built a story around an alliance of these 3 Eldar armies. After chatting with one of the chaps we'll be playing against he's taking an Inquisition force, one guy hasn't talked about what he is taking ( he only confirmed a couple of weeks ago) and the last guy has a nid army. Armed with this knowledge I started thinking; what would make the Inquisition divert a nid Splinter fleet? One of Vauls fabled 100 swords? So story version A is the Ordo Xeno believe they have uncovered one of the legendary blades forged by Vaul for the War In Haven and to secure this mighty artifact for their own ends they have diverted a Splinter Fleet to a back water Maiden World, the 3 forces of Eldar have been brought together to defend the Maiden World and keep the blade safe. The nids are there for the all you can eat buffet. And if player 6 brings Imperial they are a buffer between the nids and the Inquisitor.

This Week I Have Mostly Been Arguing Online.

Not a productive week at all...
First off was the argument with a chap who was trying to tell me DA had always been green and that all the black armour pictures were just night world camo... He shut up after I pointed out the background piece were it says the Dark Angels explained their new colours.

Black,

Black,

Black,

Black,

Black.
My second shining moment was telling an ebay seller that this

Wasn't the 1st edition Shadowseer but was in fact the 5th ed Shadowseer, and that in fact the first Shadowseer was in fact the old High Warlock.

When will I learn...
