True professionals know that everything from your bits box can and should go onto your Rhinos. Bonus points for attaching them in nonsensical places such as vents:



Not shown in this picture: condition listed as primed (all those clearly primed metal bits, eh?), non-drilled barrels, weird unidentifiable bits tacked onto the back, gunner with arm broken off, asking price of $20.

My only thought was that maybe they were trying to make a counts-as Razorback?

Oh, there's another one on the other side. Also I didn't notice it before but now I can't unsee the huge globs (greenstuff? glue?) around the HK missile.

The worst part is, I know this is exactly the sort of horseshit I would have tried to pull off back in college.

I keep thinking there's got to be a way to redeem the Megamerican Marines concept by just painting them better. I imagine that I will try this at some point and weep for what I have done.

I think you might be able to do them subtly. Like, instead of a hot mess of color schemes and a busy as hell shoulder pad, make them, I don't know, white bodied, with blue shoulder pads, gold chest eagle, and red shoulder pad rims like they were in the 3rd Company. Stick a white star on as Chapter symbol. Salute.

I, for one, am curious as to whether there's a third scope on the other side of that plasma pistol.

I mean, I'm also curious as to why the hideous mouth, but it's best not to ask too many questions.

Yup, that sure is what that model needed all right. Bonus points: the caption in the imgur gallery says "this model was begging for it."

Every thread containing discussion of Warhammer, 40K, GW games, miniatures games, minis, dice, or games must become the Death Pool thread. It's inevitable and unstoppable, like the heat death of the universe.

It's as confirmed as GW gets, which is to say that the company won't say anything until the product actually comes out, or maybe a couple days before that. It's the usual rumormonger sites reporting it at this point. I'd personally put a lot more faith in this if they hadn't said that the same thing was supposed to happen back in May.

Oh, I believe that the sprue exists, but we really don't know much more than that at this point. There's a lot of rumor about what rules go in and what exact models will be in and what not, but the real truth here is that GW is lovely at marketing and we won't know exactly what the product is until the first box gets opened.

Why would you make this a Slaanesh :psyduck:

My best guess is someone saw it and thought "no, this movie holy loving poo poo these three movies aren't already disturbingly sexualized enough, time to go the extra mile."

Come to think of it, though, they do sprout mutations and gain super-powers as a result..

Miniatures cases often look like camera, gun or instrument cases is the real answer.

That's what broke the camel's back on the Bits Wagon van, when it got stolen in Baltimore because of the black GW cases in the front seat that looked very much like pistol cases. The cases ended up getting tossed out the window in front of the courthouse where they were destroyed by the bomb squad. No clue if they ever found the van.

The time that it got stolen in East Hartford and was found completely emptied of all the bits in the back, that might be another story.

Do you have the full story? Or a link to it? I like hearing about the history behind nerdy things

IIRC the short version of it is that GW needed to bring to court a bunch of images of the products that Chapterhouse was allegedly infringing on, and they just straight up didn't.

Yeah, I like the head and I like the idea of using monstrous scything talons for limbs (is the base model a Trygon under all of that, do you think?) but that’s about it.
