Tabletop wargaming - nerdlinging to the max...
and other sundry models

Do you play tabletop wargames?
No, of course not. Tabletop wargamers are so nerdy they make PC fanboys look cool and studly.  34%  [ 25 ]
Yes. I love my little painted figures. I give them all names and stroke them every night. I live for weapons damage charts.  5%  [ 4 ]
I used to, but discovered girls.  52%  [ 38 ]

Got my care package through today, Da5e. Thank you so much, really appreciate it.
My pleasure. Get a picture up once it's assembled! Apologies for clipping a couple of bits off the sprue - I was going to build it but I've basically got a 1500pt Skitarii army already.

This morning, all the staff here at Games Workshop Towers were summoned to the reception bit where there used to be a great big Space Marine statue. It's been replaced by this:

which is certainly striking...



And you got Haribo for turning up! I was speaking with someone today about it.
A lot of people are not impressed with Age of Sigmar.
What? I didn't get any Haribo!

Yeah, there's some cross people out there. I picked up my Age of Sigmar box at the weekend and I like it (I'm going to paint my Relictor like Papa Shango!), but then I was never into Fantasy especially. I get why it's pissed off a lot of people but (obviously) I hope a lot of people like it.
Dragoon built (very nice to put together) and undercoated with black. I'll get some pics taken when it's dry.
The more you look, the less impressive it gets. I'd like to see it moving.

Apart from the bolter, it looks to scale. I think it is awesome

I was quite surprised he could move at all.

There are some more picture of him here:

From further down the reddit thread...

That's a very lovely gaming table. Also loving the splodey tank.
I've been working on a 20mm (1/72 for aero modellers) scale modern warfare set up to play with the boys. I've painted 20 or so modern Russian soldiers - 20mm is so much bloody smaller than the regular 28mm-plus scale GW stuff - fiddly little bastards. I'll post some pictures this weekend. I'm halfway through making some T-90 tanks, then I've got an Apache, a Hind, three Abrams, an M2 Bradley, two BMP-1s, a pair of Humvees and about 10 US soldiers to do... then some HO scale Western German buildings and a 4x4 foot terrain board to build. I'm also ordering some Russian Gaz jeep things. fun fun fun...

The things we do for our children eh.
Ah Mr Chris I forgot to tell you that I haven't got a digital copy of the original Rogue Trader rulebook so I can't share it with you if you want it. Sorry about that!
So don't PM me if you want a copy, because I don't have one. Of them. For you.
Well that's disappointing then.
This thread's just full of disappointment, and I'm upset for both of you that you don't get to share that cool book.
GW must be shitting themselves.

The WH40k Titans and knights cost more than a 3D Printer itself!

I know up close there's not the same detail but that's surely only a matter of time.
I'd like a 3D printer, but realistically what I want is a 3D printing service, where I send them the files and they send me a "thing".

I used this for printing extra plates for my TH8A gear shifter.
Will they baulk at printing copyrighted stuff, though? Let's find out!

Well one of the sites listed on there has example of BB-8s and that snowman thing from Frozen. Would be interesting to see where these companies draw the line - giant sex toys? 3D swastikas?

Are you saying that you want a 3D-printed version of you and Julia or that you're both giant sex toys?

Sort of but once you get into it you realise that there are limitations to what you can actually do vs injection molding. e.g. 3D printers cannot print onto thin air so you end up having to tell the slicer software to print supports but then removing these always leaves a mark. You can mitigate it by printing in multiple pieces or placing the model on the bed so as to minimise the number of supports needed but there are things they do really well and others that they just don't.

Space Marines, innit.

I have built the Grimlet up with HeroQuest, Space Hulk and Star Wars X-Wing, and I think he's nearly ready.
If it's just lots of the little plastic space marine guys then I'd doubt that it would be worth getting them made vs just buying them but if there's something in particular I can have a look. Have you seen something on Thingiverse or somewhere?
Nothing really, I was just thinking out loud, and I know how spendy GW are.

Yeah, work's getting in the way of that :(

PETA is a shockingly bad organisation.

I agree with Myp.
I paid £12(ish) and got:

Horus Rising
False Gods
Galaxy in Flames
The Flight of the Eisenstein
Fulgrim
Descent of Angels
Legion
Battle For the Abyss
Mechanicum
Tales of Heresy
Fallen Angels
A Thousand Sons
Nemesis
The First Heretic
Prospero Burns

But you get a fair wodge of books for $1, too.
Read half of those, you're in for a treat.

Mechanicum :metul:

More of a treat if he reads them all.
I draw a picture of the endings.
