The Lonewolf with Chainfist and Storm Shield. |
So... how fast can I build an army from nothing? You'll see.
In other news, the Mighty Mighty Carlos dropped by the other day, dropping in from out of the blue to drop off a surprise.
I loved the Brent cartoon he drew; I'm sure you've seen it, since it's on the blog here. To make a long store short, the Master Manipulator (every store needs one) noticed that I stand the same way when I'm playing a game. He used his ridiculously nice camera to snap a pic which the Mighty Mighty Carlos used to draw a cartoon likeness. What's cooler than that?
How about having the picture matted and professionally framed?
There's two, obviously. The first didn't print in color, so Carlos labeled that one Not Brent.
'Nuff said! Brent and Not Brent are hanging in my game room now, right next to my full color Jawaball's commemorative, true-scale bust and the Dyson Pattern Storm Raven.
Speaking of Jawaballs:
This was in the recent GW newsletter. Jawaballs won the banner contest at the recent Games Day... but what's better than that?
Games Workshop is helping me stalk Jawaballs now.
That's just excellent.

I loved that movie! Still have it in subtitles. One of the few movies worth reading (though at the time I understood part of it. Damn high school French). Anyway that'd be cool to see. I'm curious how your going to incoporate it as a theme!
>Sigh<. Posting that cartoon pic of yourself in the same post with jawaballs...you remember what happened to Jawa and his lame self-advertisment video?...
(Keeping you honest since 2010.)
While the concept is cool, if you are really going to invest in a new, serious project (yes, serious, you plan on working hard at this, don't label it otherwhise in a lame attempt of excusing your chances of failure), which means a lot of time and money (well, I'm not sure about the latter, but the former is way more valuable), you should look after your models.
I mean, update that terminator body, is ruining your good idea, cheap äss.
You can come upon affordable black reach terminators almost under rocks, but in case that you find yourself unable to, I'll link you some.

eBay is vast and infinite.
Trust me, update that pewter shït, as she said, size does matter, but truly, the lack of waist plates and those rounded ends make that LW truly deserving his solitude.
Even a lowly BR Terminator body (though I would order a box of Chaos Terminators at Maelstrom or, again, probe eBay for some) will improve drastically your model granting bulk and sharp lines to match it with the rest of your force, Thunderhorse Knights, Fenrisian Puppies, and so on.
Don't cheap yourself when you plan on putting in a lot of TIME, a vital resource you know, in what can end up resulting in a gorgeous army.
Nah, just do this.
Alternatively, I think the old termies could benefit just as well from cutting them in half above the waist and adding an abdomen. Without modification they seem to go legs, waist, chest, then head.
