Photobucket has a recent uploads segment but a bunch of pictures that I upload end up being surplus to requirements. So here are some random pictures.

Seeing your painting and hobby achievements makes me feel sad about my own. I really should build that screaming bell. Ugh I need to get off xenonauts and finish some hobby projects already.

Looking at your huge army just makes me cringe at the idea of how much all that cost you.

Also don't think I missed that droid with the orks. Is that from the star wars universe?

[emptyhat]

Yes, the droid is from the old micro machines set. It makes quite a nice relic.

Since you enjoyed seeing my guard collection here is a picture of some of my Orks.



Aside from when they drop on me when I'm not expecting it I'm quite a big fan of spiders.

[flamingkillamajig]

I only like house spiders since they're small and not really harmful. Bigger ones freak me out. You'd probably get along well with the woman that does the 'I fucking love science' page on facebook. She likes spiders. I figure she'd eat you alive considering you guys are such big spider fans ;P.

My hobby achievements aren't even all that. Hopefully the best is yet to come

I like the pictures, Empty.

Guard vs Orks looks interesting. Did the Orks get hit badly? It looks like not many of them there.

Your orks have loads of dakkajets it seems. Need to paint up / test out my Stalker on those.

[flamingkillamajig]

He's probably hoping to add all those spiders in as Arachnarok spiders to his fantasy army though he'd need a tarantula to fit the actual size (the thought horrifies me). Either that or he's wishing 40k orks would have some.

In other news i heard he had a game against his sister and she beat him again. That's pretty crazy that she keeps beating him. Does she play more than he does? Sorry i have this weird idea that usually experience should trump everything else so when a less experienced person that uses a net list for instance totally trashes somebody with a lot more experience i feel a bit offended. I guess experience doesn't always equal skill though. I dunno. It's just so weird to me to hear girls playing warhammer at all. In my whole time in the hobby I've only seen 2-3 girls that play the game so I'm wondering where they're all at. Some of the very few can be attractive as well (a previous GW manager though i think she got canned) and well some of the girls we know on the IGMB.

Speaking of which i found out Lynata was a dude but he's still a nice guy. The whole unspecified gender sort of became a social experiment for him and he never found anybody treated him different aside from dakka dakka according to him. All i have to say is what does it say about you when your mannerisms, views and emotions strike people as female in nature ;P? I mean I'd feel emasculated a bit if people thought with how i acted i seemed to be a girl. Some otaku guys tend to throw around that air about them though with animes of young girls. I prefer to think girls watch that then older somewhat pedophile guys lol.

40k Orks with a converted araknarok giant spider would be an idea.

The Orks were down to 7 boyz and a biker boss with one wound. Guard still had a fully functional Basilisk, Punisher and Vendetta and
1/2 a command squad, 1/2 platoon command squad and a line squad with a heavy bolter and grenade launcher.

If I'd killed one more Ork, or if they'd failed moral in that last turn then they would have lost the relic and the game would have been drawn. One more turn and I'd have likely tabled her. Alas it wasn't to be that time. It just goes to show that you have to be tenacious when you play Orks (and kunning enough to hold back the right units at the right time to score the mission points). People who accept defeat when the losses start racking up do not make good Ork players.

[Long John Silver]

Ah; I've never been lucky enough to participate in a Relic game. It sounds really bloody.

Recently I got to unbox the new Stormclaw set:



The Space Wolf captain mini:





The Ork Warboss mini:








I also got to play some Pokémon Cards with my sister:

[flamingkillamajig]

Pokémon cards were my crack back in the day. I'm kind of ashamed how much I liked them and spent money just collecting the crap. I stopped somewhere during fossil edition but I had a lot of the jungle deck. Basically I never really went far beyond the first 151 pokemon if at all. Now there's a bajillion of the fucking things.

Anyway if you want you could have a full battle with pictures showing you facing up against your sister some time. Just the pictures of the battle if you wish (though chem seems to do them more than you). Well I guess this was one of the battles but I'd like more on what was happening in each screenshot.

Best to not ask too much about your sister. I have a way with pissing off women.

[emptyhat]

I think bothering to post a turn by turn batrep of a Pokémon card game would be too boring. I was actually going to post a 40k batrep up earlier but then I was asleep instead.

[Long John Silver]

So does face ripper have the same head system as the savage orcs/ savage orc boarboyz/ orc boarboyz; just a mask effectively?
I can't see his neck piece, however..

[emptyhat]

He has a neck piece and a mask. The new Flash Gitz do too.
