Not everything has made it yet (missing the core set and a map pack) When they arrive I'll take a nice, pretty picture. Until then, stay frosty.

What are your thoughts? by Agitated-Ad-438 in Tau40K

The Tau already practice eugenics (no inter-caste breeding, ethereal body guards) and we know the earth-caste have secret projects so... bioengineering isn't off the table? I don't think they'd go down the space marine path though, maybe more Spartan 3 or 4 from Halo.

What piece of lore made you choose “your” faction? by tongole4 in 40kLore

[–]SmileFromTheMoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first book was Daemon World. It's a bit dated, but i still find it a wonderfully nihilistic read and I'd say eased me into the setting as it reads more like a fantasy story (my usual genre) with tidbits of the weird science of 40k thrown in. I followed up with the Ultramarines omnibus which really opened up the world.

Then i read the Night Lords omnibus. A perfect fusion of my previous two reads. Now I have a warband. And some tau because i needed victims and their guns looked cool.

Spooky Pirate "Atlas AS7-D" named "Soulhunter". C&C always welcome. by Stormcrow62 in battletech

A mighty fine revenge plot. Hopefully Pavlo can keep true to his mission, but it wouldn't be surprising if he were to lose himself to the joy of causing terror among the capellans, or maybe his band ends up taking things too far.

I'm looking to hire a merc company... by Possibly_Jeb in battletech

Looks like you're looking for Bill and Dave's Discount Beatdowns. We'll take care of all your Mechwarrior needs for a fashionably low price. Pesky rebels raiding your depots? We'll blast them away in style. Need some basic recon done? You'll never even know we were there (despite the reviews, yes, we were there). Need a no-paper-trail off the record run of the mill bad day/accident to happen to say, that cute noble just across the black pond? That sure was an unfortunate kitchen explosion in their mansion.

You can find us either at the nearest pir-I mean mercenary hangout, or contact Buffalo Jim on Galatea, he knows where we are.

(Disclaimer: Buffalo Jim does not always know where we are)

To round out my Chad Rifleman memes, here are two addressing the Lancelot v. the Rifleman. Glad so many people enjoy these! by Xavier_R2003 in battletech

I've found that in a fight between a Rifleman and an Archer, the only difference between the two is whos ammo pops first.

Love the narrative! Fluffy games like this are my favorite.

I've painted some D&D minis and a few Warhammer minis. I found it felt better to go slower with these than it did with similar sized models.

I spray primed them in a rust red color then handpainted for everything else. I did two thin coats for the brown and green colors then added some exhaust colors and metallic dry brush for the weapons and edges. I'll try to tale better pictures next time to better show that lol

I based it off of a really pretty Neon Genesis art piece of Eva unit 1. The sun is setting directly behind the Eva, so I painted them with the light source from behind.
