Gaylord, you should just photoshop more models on oval bases and continue leaking them on sites like Dakka. That's the best thing that's happened here.

Make the photoshops gradually worse until dakka and warseer finally notice something's wrong.

"So what do I need to hit?" "What's your BS?" "4... no wait, that's the chief weapons officer. I think the right arm is run by a machine spirit with a BS of 3." "Wait, nevermind, Gargants have the 'unpredictable lumbering' rule, so you always hit them on a roll of 3." "Yeah, ok. So I hit." "Ok, I'll roll the shield effect. "*rolls*"Hit misses." "Ok, well it's twin linked, so I hit twice with that arm." "K."*rolls*"that one lands. Roll location." *rolls* "Clavicle. Wait, no. That's if I'm firing from the front arc, but this is the right front hex face... Shoulder." "How much damage." *rolls* "12" "Ok, that's 8 point of armor, and then it destroys the structure, and does one point of clavicle armor damage. I need to roll to see if you disabled a system." *roll* "Looks like the Lifta Droppa is broken until" *rolls* "turn 5." "Sweet, I need to roll heat for the hellcannon. Let's see. 2d6, high die is heat, low die is number of heatsinks that I can assign to cool it. "*rolls*"High is 6, low is 2. 3+ results in Cooling rating in reduced heat..."*rolls*" Ok, one of them takes effect, so that's only 2 heat. Cool. So... firing right arm hellcannon..."

RE: warpath, the warpath universe is about neoliberalism rather than theocracy/fascism, it's a much more modern dystopia than 40k, but that means that things are way less ott visually - the idea is that clean modern looking stuff is a veneer for massive injustice and inequality. One of the main themes of the setting is freedom/justice vs safety, but most of the danger was caused by the people offering you safety. (I like being able to run space communists revolutionaries)

If it makes you feel better, I'm sure nobody will believe anything you say about GW again. Heck, I'm starting to retroactively doubt stuff you've said in the past!
