Be Excellent To Each Other

You lucky bastard.

Take it outside and have it shot in front of the men as an example to others.

Morte's too embarrassed to post this in this thread. It's okay, Morte, it's okay. *consoles*

Very well done Sir. Very well indeed!

He didn't paint it though, he just ejaced over it

Bad Morte! You only spunk over Slaanesh!

That's astonishingly good.

You sound just like Mrs Z.

To be fair, your toilet training is definitely coming on.

Show us more stuff Morte!

All my Forgeworld stuff was given to me yesterday by lovely Hell's. I spent a large chunk of last night assembling the 2 gorgeous Dreads. Trying to resist buying the chaos titan

Show!

I meant to spend yesterday doing a load of painting. I spent the day rigging up a pressurised CO₂ feed for the fish tank instead. Man I'm dull.

How big are the Tau battlesuits?


I might be tempted, but £19-25 gets you a lot of Gundam goodness.

Re: Tau

Ask The Pund, he did one not long ago.

Look great those Dimrill.

They are about twice the height of a Space Marine scout.

so about 50ish mm, depending on pose/ options.

Dimmers, can we have a shot of your new Dreadnaughts next to something for scale?

Is Marvin teh Martian part of your set-up in the second picture, Dimrill?

The glass is the exact dimension of a Coke can. One of the plague marines I'm working on in the foreground to give an idea of vs infantry size.

Well, now I want Chaos Dreadnaughts and a cool Coke can glass. Damn you Dimrill!

Not quite. I have a 50cm high statue of him in the front room. He'd make an excellent Titan.

Take your pick, chuckles. I want the sonic dread next, as the Emperor's Children are next in my heart to Nurgle. The glass was given away free at McDonald's in August.

New Forgeworld stuff becoming available. Look at that glorious bastard. Drawback? 30 ponds.

*chokes on werthers again*

Oh look, a Tau Battlesuit for 8 pond fifty.... no box, but still on the sprue with instructions...

Oh the sweet smeg of jeebers our lawn... latest email from GW showing the "biggest plastic kit we've ever released".... an Ork Stompa.




I am sorely tempted to overthrow my chaos overlords for that. If that's a sing of things to come (size wise) then I can expect our Orky friends not be alone in HYOWGE vehicles.. come on Papa Nurgle!

Dangerous words, Dimrill. I suspect with this size-bound arms race you won't be happy until you have a Chaos Moon-on-a-Stick, with a scary Tzeentchey face on it. Do they still do Tzeentch?

http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/chaostitan.htm What Dimril really, really, really wants, deep down in his chaos corrupted soul.

Erm. My Ma gave me quite a lump of cash for xmas, so I'm ver very seriously considering that.

Hey look Pund, a 70mm copyright infringing private sculpt of The Emperor for 30 earth bones. I have ordered a Mortarion and a Magnus The Red ones in a fit of spectacular splurging.

makes me think of Smiffy from the Bash Street Kids.

Yeah, well at least he don't look like Plug like what YOU do.

I just nearly threw away a Chaos Marine Lord's arm while stripping the paint off an old figure I won on eBay. Oh would my face have been red!


I am quite aware that this thread's turning into "Dimrill's monologue of nerdlinging"

Oh, I had a look at Dawn of War 2's achievements, looks like the 'Nids are in!

Must get back to painting... might give it a bash over the weekend.

Washes - does anyone have any tips on using Vallejo paints thinned for washes? When thinned with water as a wash, it seems to run all over the place, unlike thinned GW paints. Does it need a drop of washing up liquid or similar?

That'd be the surface tension, I would've thought. You could try the Fairy Liquid (fnarr).

Wouldn't breaking the surface tension with washing-up liquid cause it to run everywhere, rather than the opposite?

I reckon he means beads of the stuff fuck off everywhere, rather than sinking into The Cracks.

Yes, that was My Point Entirely. I shall get the Mild Green out tomorrow, after having cacked up my Epic squiggoth last night.

You'd be wanting one of these then?

Ha, yeah, I saw that somewhere. I'm disappointed by how the Forgeworld Epic range has been shrinking, though. E.g. They've dropped most of their terrain, which is irritating.

Epic everything has been shrinking. I've still got 2 Tyranid Dominatrix, 2 packs of Hive Tyrants and some Ork Big Gunz to flog on eBay at some point. Was well pleased when a new nerdlinger shop opened in Lichfield and he had a rack of Epic stuff. I snaffed the lot.

It sells for An Silly Amount of Money on eBay. Especially Squat stuff. You could almost make a living off it.

Indeed. Bought the Dominatrix's'es for 3 pond a pop, first one I put up went for 18 quid, 2nd for 14.

If you've got any Space Marine, Imperial Guard or Ork stuff I would be willing to buy it off you for An Reasonable Amount.

Bung us your address in a PM and you can have the Big Gunz I've got gratis, they sell for pennies on the Bay.

Send me some expensive stuff, and paints. I'm alright for brushes ta.
