Be Excellent To Each Other

Should be good. I couldn't get past the.. phhh.. third(?) mission of the Amiga version because dividing my attention between four different viewpoints in real time meant instant death for all.

To be honest, I much preferred Space Crusade to Space Hulk as a computer game...especially when there was a race against time as the vacuum spread across the ship.

Oh, I think I'll give that Space Hulk a go.

Surely they could make a killing with an iPhone/iPad version too.

Verily.

Now Xcom seems to have legitimised Turn Based Gaming again (for some of us it never went away) might I suggest to these lads that they update Chaos Gate and Final Liberation.

Like NOW.

I love Final Liberation.

I don't know if this website has been mentioned here - http://www.thetitanmanufactorum.com/ - but they make Titans on a 40k scale. 2 foot tall and about 7 pounds in weight! Also : spendy.

They make Warlord titans. Also guardian knights. Forgeworld is where it's at for Warhounds, Reavers, Biotitans and Eldar gayness.

edit: bloody hell they're of really shoddy quality too. Certainly not comparable to BOLS one. Dakka Dakka is full of people doing better jobs too.

Nice

I've been playing Disgaea games the whole time. Love turn-based.

This talented kitbashing bastard makes me green(stuff) with envy. Look at page three for some literally awesome Obliterators.

Ooo, there is some nice stuff there.

So are these all mods from different bits of other models (I assume they all are)?

Has anyone started using 3D printing for these things yet? A quick search tells me you can get 3D printers for just over a grand now (although the 3D printer specifically for chocolate seems to be the most expensive at 2 and a half grand). At those prices I'm sure some well heeled hobbyist with model making talent must have one.

If you want a good read, one man's descent into madness trying to replicate the BOLS Warlord Titan is always good.

Yeah, adding bits from different places is a kitbash. Not entirely fair as he has amazing greenstuff talent too.

A small Japanese company has started to produce a small CNC machine which I'd love. 3D printers aren't fine enough in detail yet for We. Too much rough stuff.

I have a small 3-axis CNC machine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJJ3gYG ... ature=plcp It can do 3D too.
Toying with getting an additive plastic printer, we had one at work until recently, but you're right the resolution isn't great. Of course you can fettle it, for example by painting with acetone, but you tend to melt fine details doing that.
BTW: I am planning to print out some bits of beex minecraft world at some point.

Dimrill, have you made me some Death Guard backpacks with your moulding kit yet?

I've tried.I suspect I need some kind of vacuum chamber to stop the bubbles forming. Mixed success.

Get some kind of vacuum chamber.

That would involve 100-300 quid spendy.

We both know you can suck strong and steadily. Surely Kalmar can make you some kind of moulding mask?

I know I shouldn't, but these had me honking stinking laugh piss out of my maw for quite a considerable time.

Fucking superb.

It's Dimrill Claus!

For FUCK'S SAKE. Just managed to get my beard trapped between the two halves of this mould. Didn't noticed until it was halfway cured. I've got resin in my beard. and my resin has beard in it.

It might look like I find that funny. But I don't. I just look like I do.

So Kalmar did make you a vacuum sucky face mask.

New Airfix kits for 2013

New tool Vampire trainer!
New tool Harrier GR1!
New tool Hawker Typhoon!
New tool Lightning!

Oooooh, spendy.

Oooh, excellent.

I really need lots more model kits.

(The Airfix club Soviet triple pack looks awesome too).

Nice selection of new stuff there. I need to get through some more of my stack first, though.

You might want to save a few quid back, Z. Piecing together the jigsaw image from the last three Forgeworld newsflashes gets you this:


That right there looks like a Death Guard Deathshroud Terminator to me. Never further than 20 paces away from Mortarion himself, them, so sounds like he might be the next Primarch. Bit of a shitter as I'd bought loads of bitz to make my own shroud

Yes. If Mortarion is next I'll have to buy him.

Good job I've been a busy little beaver lately.

Zardoz, get some of this. It's brilliant for copying stuff.

And so I were right. Ish.

Dark Angels are the new miniatures this month from GWVanilla. They've always been my favourite Imperial Scum due to their Dirty Secret.

They watch Geordie Shore?

For those interested, Kingdom Death took rather spectacularly to Kickstarter this month. Lovely minis.

Beautiful miniatures.
I'd seen a stunning Flower Knight on CMON before, nice to see more brilliant models.

Betrayer is good. Betrayer is really really really good. Best Horus story since First Heretic.

I'll bump that up the list then.

Currently enjoying Flight of the Eisenstein, about a 3rd of the way in.

It very much relies on you reading First Heretic first, warning.

I'll bump that up the list then.

Cor, there's some lovely filth in ere

It appears I've got an airbrush. mm.

CHEAT!

What did you get?

Shiny.

Have you tried it yet? Looking forward to hearing about your endeavours. Always kinda wanted one but been put off by the noise and ventilation issues.

Loving 'The Flight of the Eisenstein ' btw

Haven't actuially ran paint through it yet, but it's pretty quiet. Main noise is from the rattling of whatever you've got the compressor on top of.

Hafest thoust sprayethst?

not yet

Just starting it now after finishing Flight of the Eissenstein (Really enjoyed that, one of my fave WH40k novels so far).
