The amount of skulls on the scabbard of the sword is pretty ridiculous. Also why does he have a power fist if he's taking a power sword too? I mean wouldn't that just break the sword? I'm thinking its a ceremonial sword. He is the chapter master after all. Plus this model is a remake of a remake - the original is the first rogue trader terminator captain, the second was the Skullz limited edition metal captain (Trooper1974 has one of these) - and the scabbarded sword is what links all 3. What about a picture of his skull encrusted cape? OK, I'll take another picture tonight. I have the voucher with the special code to get the second captain but he's £18 and I've only got till the 1st June to buy him. And apparently the unique codes are totally unique for the people who bought the first captain so I'm wondering what happens to the people who illegally sold their codes to other people on ebay etc. Man ... This is like evil capitalist hell, putting pressure on me, forcing me to buy un-needed plastic by putting a virtual time deadline gun to my head. Because if I don't buy it there will be no time machine to take me back here and if I don't buy it there will be no forgiveness. Hope that made sense

What about a picture of his skull encrusted cape? OK, I'll take another picture tonight. I'd like to see trooper's model. If trooper's ever around tell him to come swing by this forum some time. I kind of miss some of those guys though I hope I never see some of them again. Apparently time stopped and 'tonight' never came . Where's the picture man? ----------- Today I don't know how to play skaven again. Ugh maybe they're just too old or I suck or perhaps I need to fix up my IRL army and quit playing such bad ass players online. It's just tiring to lose because my IRL army is underwhelming and people I play online are just so great. I think part of it is that I keep facing lizardmen and have no idea how to beat them. I suppose I may go back to using weapons teams. I also plan to use this new build with 3 plague priests with one perhaps on a furnace. We'll see how it all goes. It didn't work well yesterday online against dark elves but that's because they faced witches, my guys got -1 to toughness and strength and I got hit in the flanks by a leader on a dragon and some fuckin warlocks. Ugh.

He's too busy travelling back through time to rectify his deal with GW.

Yes, I thought it was the 5th today but its the 10th so I must have been time travelling.
And I forgot to buy onions, parsley and garlic so now I have to go BACK out to the supermarket. Not good.

Was about to finish posting something here and some ads from a virus left on the 6th edition 40k rulebook download butt fucked my computer and navigated it away from this page. Fucking viruses from fucking asshole people.
Anyway I lost against new wood elves (me losing is a recurring theme these days). Most of my stuff ended up sucking but magic and the abomination helped a lot. I plan to use a triple level 2 warlock build next time along with some other goodies (for facing anybody really). Wish me luck. I'll need it.

Just go to control panel and then manually delete everything that was downloaded that day. All of them!

That's sexy. I have no idea what kind of weapon he's wielding though (the gun).
I deleted most of it and it seems to be working better but some of the stuff isn't and that's the stuff I can't delete so easily (esp. that v9 browser sh*t which seems to show up in some sort of Asian language whenever I try to delete it). I was thinking it was the bug the whole time and somehow I doubt it's not esp. claiming to be one of U.S.'s search engines (yeah right).

It's a grav-gun. Your target's armour save works against it. LJS crushed Cosmic's Hive Tyrant that way, wounded on a 2+ no save.

Expanding on what Emptyhat said the grav weapons crush your target in their own armour so if I was shooting at a cadian shocktroop (wounding on a 5+ because of flak armour) imagine his helmet and flak vest compacting and crushing his skull/ chest. The pistols are OK, they don't overheat like plasma pistols can, the grav guns are brilliant ; 3 shots when stationary at 18" or 2 shots at half range if moving (9") because of Salvo rule. Cannons are even better because they get grav amps which allow you to reroll the to wound hit and they have more shots (5 shots at 24" if stationary) but only dev centurions can take them and its just under 300 points for 3 of them. There is also a 1/6 chance of immobilising and taking a hull point off any vehicle, if you roll a 6 - this is better odds with a grav cannon because you reroll the to wound and 5 shots per dev - 15 shots rerolling... I reckon that can take down most vehicles... The thing is the same points cost can get you dev centurions with twin linked lascannons instead of the grav cannons, which have a longer range and sound more useful than grav cannons, but if your facing a lot of TEQ infantry then grav cannons are the best bet to rip them to shreds instantly. I deleted most of it and it seems to be working better but some of the stuff isn't and that's the stuff I can't delete so easily (esp. that v9 browser sh*t which seems to show up in some sort of Asian language whenever I try to delete it). I was thinking it was the bug the whole time and somehow I doubt it's not esp. claiming to be one of U.S.'s search engines (yeah right). If its hijacking your start-up pager you need to get into your google chrome options - hit the three horizontal bars in the top right corner and go down to Settings, go down to Search and hit the Manage Search Engines and delete any crud in there thats not related to google or whatever you normally use.

Thanks man a small adjustment of what you said worked and I no longer have that search engine on here. I have you mostly to thank for my computer getting fixed (or at least mostly). Ugh I'm so bad with computers. Other than that I finished up my 2nd hellion guy though his dick chain fell off. I never noticed they had them until making the model but it appears to be something to keep them fastened to the board which makes sense actually and seems similar to something they do with surf boards I think. www.games-workshop.com/en-US/Dark-Eldar-HellionsIt might be hard to notice but there's a chain extending from their belt and ending on a hook grasping onto the board. I just love all these little details to models that you miss when you don't have the model in person. It works in my head but I still can't get over thinking it's a dick chain. I think they could've positioned it somewhere else. Whatever I guess it works. Other than that I've just been playing a shit ton of 'shadowrun returns' and its expansion. Gotta say it's a hell of a fun game and I'm addicted or at least till I beat the expansion. Definitely liking the cyberpunk and fantasy mix. It's pretty cool. Shadowrunners like your main character are basically like bounty hunters with different skills that do jobs for anybody really including corporate vs corporate warfare. The main game was good despite the actual 'bugs' (the creepy crawly kind). Let's just say the camp level rose super high. I mean fucking bug spirits from another dimension? Wow that's super campy. The transvestite jester-esque character in the late game was also a bit weird. Then there's just the deal with getting skaven and dark eldar made. I had trouble getting two weapon arms to go together on the hellions and eventually after enough super glue I decided that piece wasn't fitting and may have been ruined even they were even meant to fit together. I used different parts (there was at least one more hellglaive since I used the agonizer build for my squad leader). I've also got the 3rd skyboard made but no rider yet. Hopefully I get to play some 40k against this girl but since it's only 500 pts it'll probably be against my guard (I don't have enough for dark eldar yet) and then i'll play some warhammer fantasy if at all possible. I would like to play more games with my skaven but I'm doing horrible with them and getting tired of them. Perhaps I will go to vampire counts but that'd be another army I would start up. At least I can use a previous roommate's models that he let me have. Maybe i'll play vampire counts when I play online. They play very different despite being a horde army in many ways. Lots of interesting potential, nice magic and fun stuff in general. The have what I've been lacking with skaven with most of the same things skaven also have. They have powerful characters, good magic (mostly buff related), heavy armor, flyers, ethereal units (only army to have them), swarms, a whole fear causing army and lots of terror everywhere. Definitely a fun army and the only thing it lacks is shooting which is funny since they technically have shooting magical attacks which go through armor and force enemy's to take it against their leadership. Basically everything they have is sexy and I want it. *looks at skimpy transformed vampire lady in silk stockings*

Was about to post something and an ad hijacked the fuckin page. This is pissing me off. Anyway I might try out vampire counts when I play warhammer fantasy virtually. Everything feels new and fresh with the army and it's nice playing an army meant for the edition you're playing rather than one that was out of date the pretty much within a year of when it was made. Things just feel good with vampire counts and it might re-new my interest in warhammer fantasy in general.

If the ads are still hijacking then you weren't thorough enough in your program deletion, so go back to Uninstall program in the control panel and delete more suspect programs.
