those are both awesome!

[Woz]

Nice conversions - but the Tau gun looks a bit out of place.

I'd loved to see them painted.

[Deleted]

What did they use for the wheels on the armored car?

[Turtleboy(AWOL)]

I think orc trukk wheels

[Deleted]

I like the jeep. I think the Tau gun looks fine personally

[Turtleboy(AWOL)]

yep I'd use it, but then again my company was embroiled in a multiyear campaign vs the tau so that would actually be fluffy to field for me

[Deleted]

For wheels we use parts from toy, and some bits from russian game system(RObogear -
www.robogear.ru/skelet/3/index_3_2.php) - this minis are cheap and good for conversions. Plastic phone cards and GW bits.

Both are great man. I especialy like the hellhound, custom hellhounds are the best.

u need a larger fuel source for the hellhound... its not what you do with it.. its the size that counts but yeah i like that hellhound a lot as well.. migth have to just go out and buy a ton of chimeras and make my own hellhounds as well then.. or be a lazy bastard and get family to just get me hellhounds..

[Turtleboy(AWOL)]

forgeworld just came out with some awesome hellhound options.

[Deleted]

yeah i have seen them .. they are very nice.. and very overpriced.. will just stick to the regular ones.. but i do like the turret of the one posted here though.. looks like the FW one.. but not at the same time..

[Turtleboy(AWOL)]

let me hear you say 'they're too expensive' one more time mister 'I'm saving for a baneblade.'

[Deleted]

they are too expensive.. cause i am saving for a baneblade.. oh and the painting gear to paint the damn thing as well

besides 3 hellhounds.. they dont have the wow factor that 1 baneblade has... though i wonder what the wow factor would be with... 3 baneblades on the field? aside from some jackarse shouting.. dude thats 450 GBP on the table...

[Turtleboy(AWOL)]

heh that'd be insane

*Cough* baneblade.... *cough* flat pack assembly kit..... *cough* £50.... *cough*..... summer *cough* GW release.....

Sorry about that, the winter here is quite cold

[Turtleboy(AWOL)]

what's a flat pack assembly kit?

[Deleted]

You know the cities of death buildings. It comes like that. Since doing the Cities of Death terrain GW have found that they can produce cheap large flat pack plastics that would be ideal for big tanks, meaning that they don't have to use resin.

[Turtleboy(AWOL)]

no way, they're gonna do the baneblade in a kit!?

[Deleted]

*cough* *spat* *choke* *passes out.... *










*wakes up*

WTF GW plastic baneblade?? Where did you hear this, where can i see this rumor?? I WANT 3 OF THEM!!!!

[Deleted]

I heard it from a GW store manager. He's usually well educated in these matters. Of course it's still only a rumour until we have proof, but i think it is well founded, if that makes any sense?

[Deleted]

mm well then i will hold off getting the forge world copy then till after summer 07 then.. and see what happens..

besides i think it will take that long for me to get what i have painted as it is..

[Turtleboy(AWOL)]

heh it'd take you that long just to trim the flash off the resin of the forgeworld model if you actually bought it!

[Deleted]

lol Turtleboy

[Deleted]

no hes talking straight truth there.. would take me a month to get through the flash, clean it, fighre out how to put it together.. then 2 weeks of my staring at it wondering how the crap will i paint this behemoth..
