I think Straken looks ok...as does Sly Marbo...but with him you have to laugh about the name.

Eldar are all funny.

hmm space marines too even though Ulrik is okish.

The Tau guys look like all the other Tau guys.

The most ridiculous models in 40K, largely due to the colour scheme:

Fat Superman X 4.

Runner-up: any model in terminator armour but not wearing a helmet. Your head is so small!

Yes, I see your problem with Corteaz, Rufus. He is excellent with death cult assasins because he has hammerhand, but then you wouldnt be able to use his special rule.

I would choose each game depending on your opponent and wether he puts anything in reserve - if not then put him in the DCA unit.

I really like that Marine lord with the power fist holding the helmet. That is probably my favourite space marine model they do! Generally I think all marines should wear helmets though, its retarded wearing nigh impenetrable armour then not wearing your helmet.

In Deathwatch you get extra renown for doing a mission without your helmet, and a number of small in game benefits, but if you get shot in the head, you have no armour...so yeah.

Good plan. It's annoying though: I wish I could take a generic inquisitor but still have henchmen as troops.

I'd put Cortez with the strike squad if they could all fit in a rhino!

He looks like fat Superman just caught a baseball.

But there's no accounting for taste! I like the techno-orangutan.

I wonder if it is possible to read any of Rufus posts and not laugh at it.

GamesPoet · « **Reply #1531 on:** August 12, 2011, 04:53:19 PM »

Sure, why not.

Crimsonsphinx · « **Reply #1532 on:** August 12, 2011, 05:10:10 PM »

Yeah but surely when your a space marine lord, you take it easily, eat a load of pies and relax, and let your battle brothers do the fighting, so putting on a bit of weight is kind of expected!

More like Lex Luthor ate Superman and stole his clothes. Space Marines seem to mostly have alopecia. Must be in the genes.

Jokaero!

Ha ha!

Mathi Alfblut · « **Reply #1535 on:** August 13, 2011, 04:37:09 PM »

Is that a Jokaero? Looks like ALF to me.

GamesPoet · « **Reply #1536 on:** August 13, 2011, 07:13:01 PM »

Oh, you mean there not one and the same?

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #1537 on:** August 17, 2011, 09:13:02 AM »

I think it looks close enough.

At 35 points each they are very likely to get cut from my list anyway.

Blauer Nebel · « **Reply #1538 on:** August 18, 2011, 03:32:43 AM »

I personally love the chapter masters. I made a Blood Ravens Captain with bolter and power fist (old school it), a Black Templar Castellan (one holding the cloak, but gave him the sword instead of the hammer), a Black Templar Marshal (holding the knight helmet in a power fist along with a shaved down lightning claw with skull-knuckles from the old veteran models with a storm bolter on the back of it) out of 'em, and they look good. Just gotta' toy with 'em to get the most out of them, for sure.

phillyt · « **Reply #1539 on:** August 19, 2011, 03:10:23 PM »

I love the chapter masters too. I use the one with the power axe and storm shield as my Black Templar chapter master.

Question!

I was thinking of using modified Tau gun drones as Ordo Xenos servitors with plasma cannons. Would that be daft?

Squad-wise, I thought I'd have two jokaero, 3 plasma cannon servitors, a Xenos inquisitor and some space-filling warriors in a chimera. Long range shooting!

The inquisitor wouldn't be doing much other than keeping away mindlock, but I suppose he could use psychic communion to get the reserves in on time.

McKnight · « **Reply #1541 on:** August 21, 2011, 01:15:06 PM »

Give him a conversion beamer?

The drones could be cool! Just give them some big guns !

Really? That's a new one on me. They are always deadly serious on the field of battle. I suspect, somehow, you're talking about models though

. I don't agree with if this is the case though. The current Eldar sculpts are pretty good, and the original Rogue Trader sculpts are superb. The third edition models were, however, awful in my opinion.

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #1543 on:** August 21, 2011, 01:28:19 PM »

I thought about the beamer, but its optimum range clashes with the plasma cannons. It would only be S8 AP4 or whatever it is, instead of S10 AP1 as it is at 48". Also you only get five firepoints on a chimera, so I'd have to drop a Jokaero. Not sure.

Glad you like the drone idea!

McKnight · « **Reply #1544 on:** August 21, 2011, 01:55:34 PM »

Ah, I didnt think about that! Hmm then maybe it should be left at home and save the pts. But I see psykers better at long range fire support than servitors. Although their bad side is their low leadership.

I like conversions of all sorts! As long as they make sense. Since you have a monkey with you, it totally does

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #1545 on:** August 21, 2011, 04:08:51 PM »

Plasma cannon servitors are so cheap though. 20 points each!

I think psykers are a bit of a gamble. One bad roll and they all die. Plus the drones will look better. And also the servitors benefit from the Jokaero's power: they might get +12" range, or rending.

McKnight · « **Reply #1546 on:** August 21, 2011, 04:31:18 PM »

Yes very cheap!

Im looking forward to hearing how they fare! The cannons do sound good on the paper!

Mathi Alfblut · « **Reply #1547 on:** August 21, 2011, 06:29:06 PM »

I finally got my ass of the ground and finished my ork campaign DoW II Retribution on my sons computer. Got me back to my ork force. It will be a mix of mostly Bad Moons and Blood axes. I am painting a 20 strong shoota Ard boys mob as Bad Moons now and my battlewagons, a Sherman and a JSU152 1/35 scale model, will get the same treatment.

Stoopid luvely green Orks...

Still have some stuff to fix, the squig and some minor detail, but I did this fast with a limited palette and tons of washes (and water).

Cannonofdoom · « **Reply #1549 on:** August 23, 2011, 06:16:51 AM »

Orks take to washes in a way that is not at all suggested by their hygiene.
