I’m currently working on painting a force of Rogue Trader Dark Angels vintage figures (so 28 years old or more) that will work with the current 9th edition of warhammer 40k.
Thanks. I also have a 3d printed Eagle I bought off eBay that I was going to assemble for this photo but in the process of putting it together I saw just how stupid the proportions are. I knew it was about 30-50% too wide but the pod was so flat it just didn’t make sense. Now I’m going to use the parts for when I get around to making the Vulture from my fan fiction.
When it comes to tabletop, it’s everything (mostly bank balance) but I’ve had a 10ft by 6 ft table running at me and when my riptide with a dreadknight at each shoulder jumped onto the field at the last moment …. Well I still lost but it was still epic!
There was a time in 40k when you could get a starter army of 30 marines in transports for £20. The earlier picture I posted of the assault squad and dreadnought came from this era and I’ve just shot a vide talking about the army as a whole. This will go on YouTube in about a week but here’s a picture of it:
Officially, attacking your opponent with furniture is frowned upon in games of 40k. However, I did once manage to disrupt a Tau player’s attack by asking him “If you take an anteater and train it to be a man-eating anteater, is it still an anteater?” His face went red, he held his head in his hands and his brain broke.
I wasn’t part of that game but the guy was playing Tau, he deserved it.
I once was in an apocalypse game, around 16 of us. In fact I think it was one of my first games, I didn’t know what to expect as I haven’t even started collecting then.
Anyways me and a friend went and got a pint each before the first turn, as you can imagine all we could do was move. By the time it came back round, we was 5 beers in and still wasn’t in range to shoot anything. I think I was nearing 9 before I even fired a shot and missed every one haha.
Anyways can’t remember who won but it was a good day.
Tell you something, seeing photos of models and dioramas don’t do them justice!
