Its just so....lame. They gave some guys some sombreros and ponchos. And painted a cactus on the nexus thingy. The hot tub is kinda funny at least The actually-cool way to do Mexicrons would be to paint them like this:  (I tried to paint some skeletons like this once. It is extremely difficult)

Sugar skull necrons would be extremely difficult, turbo serious and not at all funny.

So, long story short: Because of this post, I clicked over and then sent money to Helen Highwater, and a big box of Soviet-era tat showed up today. So thank you very much for linking this! Where would be the right place to post all the photos? I got some seriously cool stuff. But: it's not UKPol, it's not TG related, but I'm sure goons need to see this awesome stuff.

1000 Brown M and Ms posted:Generally yes, but it can depend on how the dice work. For example, 40k artillery/scatter dice are custom and you can't substitute regular dice for them. That's because (IIRC) each side has an arrow, and when you roll to see if artillery has hit you need to see if it scatters first, and the direction it scatters is determined by the arrow. I feel like these are too awesome to actually be here.

Indolent Bastard posted:Is this offer still viable? Will you be going back? I live there so this offer is always available for the foreseeable future. Here's a bunch of photos of stuff I picked up for guys in the UKMT just before Xmas. The markets sell all kinds of stuff and the stock constantly changes but most uniform things - jackets, hats, flying helmets, etc are always available as are insignia, propaganda badges and other trinkets, instruments from tanks and jet-fighters, various kinds of optics including cameras, binoculars and so forth. Costs vary from a few cents for pin badges, a coupel of dollars for insignia (cap badges and so on), the same for posters, hats run to about 10-20 bucks; jackets, clocks from MiGs and working mechanical things are around $40+. Postage runs about $15 a kilo registered post to Europe/US. Drop me an email at iainz0r at the mail service operated by Google with a budget and some idea of what you are looking for. I can do grab-bags of random stuff if you like too.

I think people forget the humble roots of the game sometimes and don't realize that this is all a kid needs to have fun. Yes, there's something to be said for a nicely modeled table with realistic terrain and buildings, but some toilet paper tubes and a couple of pieces of foam board are all you need to get going.

In a box somewhere is the sand dune I made for Gorkamorka by putting a smaller piece of cardboard on top of a larger piece of cardboard and wrapping it in yellow construction paper. I was pretty proud of that.

The paper covered up the tiers and the tiny little bases Gorkamorka figures came on meant they couldn't possible stand anywhere on it but the dead center.

Yeah but those Gorkamorka bases were notoriously bad. What a dumb rule was it that the orks had to fit in the trukk in order to be fieldable in the mission.

Gorkamorka Orks were particularly bad because the short legs and overly wide shoulders combined with big weapons made them very top heavy - particularly as a lot of figures were still metal casts.

Regarding the camera, I checked out the movement of the controls and everything works. I didn't put any film through it though and I'd not be surprised if the seals were poo poo (they were often poo poo even when brand-new) so that there may be light leaks all over the place. If you plan on using it as a camera rather than as an ornament or prop. there's an enthusiast site that might be useful to you. You can also head down to The Dorkroom and
