I cannot say how much I love that Terminator & Sister scene. Its simply brilliant, all the more so for the paint job! Excellent work :)

Haha, what a great little article, good work!

As to your question, well, its purely academic: The Emperor for teh win!

Well done man, that looks sweet! The cheery freehand is very good, really effective. The flesh tones too are very nice indeed.

Re: BATREP: 1850 Tau v Chaos Deamons

What a batrep, a great read, thanks very much!

I was going to make my own comment about the uphill struggle the Daemons faced in this game, but your closing comments and sholto did the job for me.

Your point about the difference between 1500 and 1850 was very interesting, and I happen to agree - 1500 is the sweet spot as far as I'm concerned. Its much much harder to construct a balanced list and thus the games are often tighter. I wonder if you've seen Blood of Kittens' posts on this? They are worth reading!

Anyway, thanks for proving that the older books can still pack a punch. It make the Dark Angel in me smile!

Re: In Defense of 1500: Introduction

Good luck on your pro 1500 crusade! I'm lucky in that I play in the UK, where 1500 is standard. Although I do enjoy larger games its clear to me that it quickly becomes unbalanced in certain situations. At the end of the day the games designers explicitly say that 40k is meant to work at 1500, so if your organising a tournament, surely that should be the default setting?

Well, they are coming along very nicely! The skin tones and the sword detail is very impressive mate :)

Indeed, well done on making it to a year of blogging. Heres to many more excellent years!

Re: 40K SNEAK PEEK: Battle Missions Book

sovietspace — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 04:16:32 -0000

Oooh, I got something posted on BOLS, very exciting! Thanks guys!

@ MOMUS - Clash of heroes is great, a mission I'm really looking forward too. It involves taking a named character in each army, and then a very elite heavy force. The objective is to kill off the enemy's character first, but heres the kicker: the characters last wound can only be taken by the opposing character. Anybody else can bring his wounds down, but that last one MUST be claimed by someone suitably heroic. Awesome or what?!

Simply stunning as usual. How long did this squad take? I'm interested to know how quickly you can paint!

Awesome! I'm loving this game, and may just have found a way to waste my morning...

Thanks for posting it up.

Sweet, I wish I had your brush control! You should be very proud!

Re: Taking you back to 1992...

sovietspace — Wed, 13 Jan 2010 01:08:54 -0000

Yeah I think I could take those off your hands! If you want to email me @ sovietspace@hotmail.com or message me from my profile, with a price etc., I'm sure something can be worked out :)

Re: Taking you back to 1992...

sovietspace — Tue, 12 Jan 2010 13:40:29 -0000

Alas 1992 was slightly before my time, but I enjoyed the post nonetheless, you've given us a really good feel for the year. As for the squats, why, I might be interested in taking them, what do you have?

Re: Surprise Christmas Presents...

sovietspace — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 04:30:03 -0000

Awesome, just awesome. Sadly I know I threw away a lot of old models like that when I was younger. I am now waiting for the day I invent time travel...

Those are simply beautiful. Whilst looking incredibly brutal. Very very good work mate, as always.

Re: 40k Douche Bag: Revenge of the Redshirt

sovietspace — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 04:17:50 -0000

I couldn't agree more strongly with everything you have just said. In fact I'm so much behind you I have nothing to add. Making this comment rather superfluous...

Re: Weekend Warmachine

sovietspace — Mon, 14 Dec 2009 18:21:00 -0000

Ah I see. As I guessed, I was looking at this with too much of GW game mentality.

Many thanks for explaining it, I'd been watching the discussion on the LO Tale of Painters threads with some confusion!

Re: Weekend Warmachine

sovietspace — Mon, 14 Dec 2009 18:08:36 -0000

Thank you for the reports, though they only reinforce how little I know about this game!

One thing that I have been wondering about though, why did they move everything to far lower points costs? To the complete outsider it would seem to suggest you had more limited options. I mean, if everything costs so little, do they have items like wargear and such? Or am I looking at this with too much of a 40k mindset?

I've not got much to add to this great post, bar to say I'm really enjoying the FNG series, please keep it up!

Re: Empire Captain Done and Vacation!

sovietspace — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 03:25:44 -0000

Ah god bless LO, they often come up with some good ideas!

You've done a fantastic job here. The armour and cloak are great and you are right to point out your work on the face, it really is something special.

sovietspace — Sun, 04 Oct 2009 04:08:06 -0000

Thats looking truly awesome, it must be an inspiring sight for you! Keep up with the painting!

Re: I'm still here... lurking...

sovietspace — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 03:39:45 -0000

Yeah I agree, I'm mostly limited to 40K but still think the more I can read the merrier!

And get back to blogging, soon!

Re: The "Secret Project" to Make Something That Will Make One Part of This Hobby Easier...

sovietspace — Mon, 01 Jun 2009 03:01:23 -0000

Good job on the light-box, it's another one of those things I've told myself I should do but never seem to round to it.

I'm looking forward to seeing some new pictures using it!

Re: Helghast Planning: Stormtroopers

sovietspace — Tue, 26 May 2009 17:15:35 -0000

Oooh, progress, always good to see! It's great seeing this army grow mate, its going to be truly awesome when its done.

I'm sorry if you've already covered this, but what are your plans for the Valkyries? Are you going to be using the GW models, or some Helghast equivalent? Given how cool that model is, it must be a hard choice!

Re: Rambles: Broken units, are there really any?

sovietspace — Sun, 24 May 2009 16:19:19 -0000

I've got to say I actually agree with you and what you've said in this post. For example, I know knob bikers are out there, and so I've put some prior thought into how I would deal with them. Your right, it should be seen as a challenge!

In fact, I'm almost upset that I've yet to face them on the battle field!
