But those are barely L shaped at all, how could they possibly be used for playing 40k?? 🀣

Totally feel that. Not been posting much for similar reasons. If you want to catch up on stuff I'd be up for that.

Good to do something different sometimes. I only every really do army painting, and have to sometimes remind myself that it's ok to just paint one of a scheme.

Love a good de-nurgled plague marine figure.

Related: your Shure SM7B and RΓΈde podmics don't have to be in shot. Them being right up in your face is why they're compressed to fuck.

Oh well you're very welcome.

My Orks were started in 9th Edition and never got far. Unfortunately the main 40k rules aren't for me at the moment, but we'll see what 11th is like.

For some reason this is the only photo I have of my Weird Boy conversion on my phone πŸ˜„

Love this sculpt. Got one for TOW and another converted for 40K πŸ˜„ One day I'll finish an orc/ork army.

You've done a great job.

2000pts of Tomb Kings fully painted. Now to learn the rules and find an opponent.

I feel like you really missed out on saying you were going to 'bone up' on the rules here.

Army is looking fantastic though.

I've got an old copy of a TM 1911A1 somewhere. Definitely a fun thing to fidget with.

Spent the weekend playing 500pts of Lord of the Rings MESBG for the first time. Elrond got trampled to death! The ruleset is really light and fun, though I’m pretty sure I only remembered to use all my rules in the last game

Poor Elrond. First he gets beaten up by Keanu and now trampled?? Can't catch a break.

Hey! I recognize those guys in green! πŸ˜„

A good metal GBB does have good click-clack sounds.

My army for this weekend. Defenders of Helms Deep.

Think its actually got some fun options. Theoden isn't the toughest general, but the Rohan shield wall certainly has some positives, and the elves definitely put in a lot of work. Even if Legolas did roll an awful lot of 1s to hit.

Even more LOTR. Absolutely awesome game. Can definitely see why it still has a following after all this time. Though finding some of the scenarios are very tough for some of the armies.

Ah I love seeing the classic Ultramarines scheme on modern marines. Looking awesome.

I've never got my head around that style of 3d modeling. I've only ever really done parametric CAD modeling which does have some really cool advantages but I'm not all that fast with it.

Wow that came together really fast! It always takes me forever to do any digital design work. Looks awesome too.

Not my blister unfortunately. Just a good representative image I found.

Poor Solar Aux.

...I can't bring myself to find sympathy for the Dark Angels πŸ˜„

Hope it was a fun game for everyone though.

I'm also guilty of this. Trying to paint things with absolutely fucked brushes and unthinned paint and wondering why it looks bad.

Absolutely stunng work as always. The lighting looks amazing.

Yeah this is a 'not for sale' GW thing. Mostly so people can't abuse GWs in store return policy. They used to do a similar thing with blister packs, cutting off one of the corners if they were sold at a discount so people couldn't then try and get a full price refund.

Also appear on places like Aliexpress for unbelievably cheap if you're not in a rush for them to arrive.

Maybe something slightly inspired by the 2nd Ed Space Hulk C.A.T token? About the only think I can think of in that era and associated with terminators.
