Gentlemen... I understand that there may be differences of opinion regarding relief efforts, politics, and/or the state of human-kind. But...

There won't be a degraded, rediculous, crap-fest in this topic.

Understand? Good....

As a side note, I sincerely doubt that GW cleared that BG article with their own artists... as MDK pointed out, I don't think they'd appreciate anyone copying their art for any reason, ever. That being said.... I can't quite imagine an artist getting upset because a mold was made of a small piece of...

The real tricky part is figuring out how far is too far. Sure, you can copy a few skulls for a base.... I don't think GW or its sculptors would mind. You could probably even do an entire army's worth of bases with the skulls before anyone would start to question you. But really... how far is that aw...

Very interesting topic... and not one that will likely have an answer. As with most things in the legal profession, it's not a black/white issue, more like a shade of grey. Until someone actually tells you to stop, you shouldn't even really have any qualms about doing it. I certainly wouldn't condon...

Nice! That was my toughest class during the first half of my Engineering degrees....

The toughest class in the second half? That's a toss up between Dynamics and Hydrology... both were like a foriegn language.

Look... this is getting way off topic. The exact same thing happened over at the asur.org forums with the same topic. Yes... the United States of America has pledged $35 Million to the relief effort so far . They're also planning on contributing a heck of a lot more in the very near future. The move...

Are you sure they meant Witch Elves ?? If they're talking about "WE" converting to shades, I'd assume they were talking about the Wood Elves Waywatchers . Of course, swapping the bows for RXBs can be a pain, but I don't think most people would have a problem just using them as they are. I really don...

As for the quality of the models.... I suppose that's a personal choice. But, as for comical fluff and models... that's been around a long time. I mean, have you seen the Chaos Dwarves? Or the old Dwarf models? The laugh-factor has been in Warhammer from the very start. Only recently have they start...

There's lots of different ways you can approach this topic. Some people say that with the already high-Leadership of elves, you don't really need it. Others say you only need it in defensive armies that are based around infantry. Others say they only include them if they've got extra slots/points le...

Hah! A lineman with a busted jaw! Priceless!

I'm deeply honored to have been selected to your team. I only hope I can regain my place in the starting line up after my injury has healed.

Everyone seems to be in the same line of thinking as me here. First, utilize psychology to your full advantage. Any thing you have which can cause checks against his Leadership will quickly hurt his army. This includes not only fear and terror-causing things, but also panic checks. In addition, a sp...

Well... I suppose I might as well throw these out for the public, even if for no other reason than to give me even more incentive. 1.) Lose my gut...(this involves a lot of things, but mostly working out and spending less time here) 2.) Be an even better husband. 3.) Buy a new house. 4.) Become a fa...

@MTUcache - if you wanna get an idea of how highlights fall look at real metal. if you know anyone who does anything with metal its a good source, look at motorcycles at the chrome parts since alot are differant shapes and sizes, the real world to me is the best example. No, I was pointing out that...

I was going to suggest that you could simply order a bunch of new decal sheets as bits... link But... at $3(US) per sheet (plus shipping), that could get a tad bit expensive, especially for something that small. Any possibility of simply painting them? It may be frustrating at first, but once you go...

I'm pretty sure you can have more than one standard in a unit, as long as one is the BSB and one is the unit standard bearer. Eol, I think the rule interpretation you're looking for here is that the +1CR bonus for having a standard only applies once per combat (regardless of how many units/standards...

I certainly wouldn't mind "stickying" this topic, if that's what everyone wants... but I seem to remember a similar topic which went much more in-depth into this, and lasted for several pages. If I recall correctly, it was earlier this year. I'll spend a while trying to hunt that down, then I'll lin...

The only way to get the Hydra Banner in the CoKs is to take a BSB/Noble on a Cold One w/ the banner... effectively tripling the cost of the banner, and giving your opponent one heck of a tasty target to aim his cannons at. Admittedly, the CoK/Hydra combo is a devastating one... but it can end just a...

I tend to agree... but as with most things in Warhammer, it depends entirely on the circumstances. I almost always include the Warbanner in my armies... 25 points for a permanent +1CR advantage is easily worth the points. The other banners can be very effective, as long as you don't mind planning yo...

Well, regardless, we've both touched on one aspect of the point.... which would be that any miniature from Games Workshop which was supposed to depict a katana would likely end up being more like a Marauder than the classic, slender, Asian-inspired image which we're thinking of. Anyway, just like th...

... European medieval swords have a myth that they were extremely heavy, something that simply isn't true (with the exceptions of parade swords and 19th century replicas) - in effect, a knightly longsword weighs about the same as a katana - even greatswords and zweihänders were at most about five o...

...my problem is that while I understand how the highlights fall, I don't know where to begin in terms of color selection and actual painting technique... That's exactly the same boat that I am in... I understand the concept and I recognize how it should look when it is complete, but I have no idea...

The main argument for/against katanas and their effectiveness is the fact that they are so light . They do not convey the strength of the wielder, but instead convey the skill and accuracy of the blows that the wielder can perform. Because they do not convey the strength of the wielder, and it does ...

I'm confused.... do you mean Epic or Battle Fleet Gothic ?? Epic is basically the 40k version of Warmaster, so it takes place on the ground, just at a larger scale than regular 40k. BFG is the outerspace game.... Anyway, if you check out the two pages I linked to, they've got all sorts of downloadab...

I would also say that they should have various belts: White belt - 0 pts, does nothing Yellow belt - 15 pts 6+ ward, Green Belt - 30 pts 6+ ward, +2 attacks Blue Belt - 45 pts 5+ ward +2 attacks, +2 Initiative Red Belt - 60 Pts 5+ward +2 attacks +2 Initative + 1 S Black Belt - 75 Pts 4+ ward +2 att...

Gee, and here I thought we would be discussing the finer points of your innocence being stolen away by a dirty ol' man in a park who offered you candy... Maybe a better topic title would have set me straight... like "Combining RXBs with Shields"?? :gasp: Anyway... yeah, you can use missile weapons a...
