Hello.

So I was wondering...who plays warhammer 40k?

I've been modeling for about 3 years and playing for 2. I started with a quaint little Ork army and have recently started a Tau army.

What about you? Can't wait to hear what you've got.

I like to pick up the paint brush from time to time, more for the painting/modelling aspect than gaming, played loads of 2nd ed and Necromunda when I was a kid but not so much now.  I've played a few games in 5th ed but not tried 6th yet (I kinda got distracted by the whole growing boobs thingy, looking to actually get a game soon now that I'm full time).

I'm currently trying to put together an exodite eldar army, fully converted using bits from fantasy elves/eldar/dark eldar and lizardmen - elves dinosaurs with laser guns attached, I watched too much Dinoriders when I was younger!  I'm also slowly putting together a Nurgle chaos marine army (those forgeworld bits look astounding when painted!), which I'll probably end up playing with first as I want to play with fully painted armies only.

Saw some of the new Tau stuff, that Riptide thingy looks like loads of fun to put together!

I Go for the painting and modeling more as well.

I am currently planning to buy a Space Marine Dreadnought and converting it into a deffdread ( I like to call it a Deff-Dreadnought - Lame I know)
by making the front look like it's been torn apart and has had an ork stuffed in there.

I'll soon be assembling a Riptide together as well. ( It DOES look like a lot of fun! )
I've also been thinking of buying some Space marine HQ's and making a Spacemarine- Avengers Crossover.

Cool, looted ork stuff generally looks awesome, you seen some of the looted carnifexs that people have done?  There are a few corkers out there!

Yeah, I had a little Tau army years ago and would of loved one of those things (loves me some giant robots, i do, I blame the 80's)

Still debating with myself on picking up a Wraithknight to have fun with, I've done some Transformers (as I said, giant robots ) customising in the past and reckon I could make it fully posable quite easily!

I ran into an Image of one of those the other day. I was amazed and baffled over how the Orks, talented as they are, could have looted one of those things. though they probably Captured it and tamed it. still Impressive though.

Optimus prime fighting alongside the Eldar. that...would....be....AMAZING!
And the Avengers/ Space marine thing...

Excellent, now carry on the good work!

I may dig out a decent camera and get some shots of my stuff up on here if you're interested in seeing?

Ooh PLease do. I'll Do the same with my Models. ( When I remember to when there's a camera about )

I too play 40k, which by that i spend waaaay more money than i ever should on little plastic men, i think when some girls do that they at least get a vibration feature. I have a fully fleshed out 4k+ Ultramarines, Imperial Guard, Tau, Dark Eldar, and a smattering of Chaos. While i certainly enjoy the game aspect of it i dont often get to play so the modelling is where I get my enjoyment. My wife is almost always getting mad at me for the amount of random collections of paint and models strewn about the house.

almost forgot, Riptide was one of the more enjoyable models i ever built. Not only did all the parts fit perfectly but you had a million different poses ans ways to assemble it. Just make sure you dont glue the torso to the legs for easy transport. Also, magnetize! The newer stuff is alot more user friendly then lets say, the dreaded DROP POD. With the new codex im looking at investing in a stormraven because i can get one of those for the same price as 34 centurions, and why the heck wouldnt i buy a huge awesome flyer instead?

  I too have got far too many sprues with half the bits gone kicking around the house, though I have managed to cut out the transformer collecting...

A lot of my friends used to complain about how it was so expensive being a girl, well they want to try being a geeky girl!  Shoe sales, clothes sales are nothing compared to the might of STEAM SALES...the number of used items I own from all 3 is silly!  (no GW sales though EVER!!!!)

Will do, though it may be a few days due to GTA V and the aforementioned steam sales - Awesomenauts is far too addictive!

It was actually buying paints to do TF customs that got me back into painting GW stuff.  Energon Shockblast to classics G1 Shockwave!!!

Sigh.  Leeds seems so far away.

Lol.

  I apologise for living in the wrong hemisphere I'm a very bad person.  Though I do have the advantage of not having to keep my shoes in sealed bags

Just be glad you don't live in a soulless farming area. Not only am I miles away from anything, its next to impossible to get a game of 40k on without having to drive for an hour. plus its full of wanna be "California types" who forget they live on dairies instead of Orange County. On the other hand, i loves your models, do you use Optimus as a Gargant or a Looted vehicle? And do you use Shockwave as a Riptide?
