Evil robot dustbins are a good concept. They should have them in warhammer too.

I want this for my Empire army:

I thought he should act responsibly and just kill himself.

I did make one. Unfortunately there was an incident and it's in a box broken somewhere.

Oh, that's a shame. I thought it looked rather promising.

I like the steam spider.

I'd say warhammer needs more steam robots, but then I remember that warmachine game that is nothing but steam robots, and how that isn't as cool as it sounds.

You're correct about that sir!

We should all be thankfull that McVey's taint didn't leak it's way over into WHFB before he left GW. I'd hate to imagine the WHFB counterparts for Lemartes or the Jingle-bell striking scorpions...

Just think of the giant steam-powered spiderbot from Wild, Wild West. You'll have the most bizarre steam tank ever.

Ok, so i tried the punisher with heavy bolters today against daemons. And by God it is awesome. It destroyed two 15 bloodletter units. Or the majority of them.
It simply just mowed them down. It definitely gets more hits than pie plates. I had two medusas in the list as well, and they were awesome too! Didnt do as many wounds as the punisher, but it really helped thining out a 20 plaguebearer unit.

I also tried the bastion breacher shells against a leman russ heavy and mech inf list.
They are superb anti tank! They cut through anything! And if lucky then you hit fairly well. The only downside is their opentop-ness and their inability to fire indirect so they have to engage in firefights with their targets.

Or large units 30 strong with commisar with power weapon and sarge with power weapon. They are actually not bad especially if you have straken around.

You can try to get some training modules from Union Generals on the proper use of the

"Baaaaaaayonet chaaaaaarge!" scream.

The greatest form of control which can go on forever until it is exposed is a tyranny you can't see, touch and taste (unlike totalitarian Govts). When you sit in a prison cell but can't see the bars, because people don't rebel against not being free when they think they're are.

The proper scream was executed perfectly by Colonel Joshua Chamberlain at Little Round Top, on July 2nd, 1863, the 2nd day of the Battle of Gettysburg.

BAYONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEETSSSSS!

Perfectly applicable to the Imperial Guard as well.  :biggriin:

sorry I need to chime in here.

Was it REALLY one of the proper bayonet screams do you Civil War buffs just like to think it was?

See personally I would say:

Bayonets! Fark Yeah!
Gonna chop you up,
Into little bits of sushi!

The proper yell is "Fix bayonets!" This is usually highly bravado-charged.

I had a british guy going off at CW buffs a couple nights back you know the whole "it's a minor bloody affair compared to the ECW tooting their own horn" I found it amusing.

That film Gods and Generals about Stonewall Jackson was awesome. But too far off topic.
