I found some old movie footage a while back. Those were the days!

This new comment system is becoming quite popular. I might have to hop on the bandwagon! I was also looking at the ratings thingy in blogger draft. But, what I saw was a three button deal where you could name the buttons that people have a choice of. It looked okay, but didn't seem to work when I tested it. Good job on getting one in that works!

You know I have the same problem. I can't get those guys at Forge World off the phone. I think they like our wonky accents or something. And, I actually got two boxes full of badgers before getting the correct bits when I ordered my Macharius Vulcan tank!

I applaud you on being able to talk to the folks at FW out of a Rending Pony. I'll have to slap something together myself, I don't think the Reaver has the punch I'm looking for.

You just can't beat a 24 hour Wal Mart can you? I just wish they didn't lock the second set of doors after 10:00pm. I always park on the wrong side of the parking lot and have a long walk when I leave.

Is anyone else running out of room in their home for GW stuff? More cool stuff doesn't bode well for my free space!

Wow, I think it may have worked! Now as long as nothing else broke getting it here!

I saw on the disqus site where I could grab the code for those features. I may go back and do it later today. I really do like the way these comments flow better, with the ability to respond to a comment and all.

I know Ron over at From The Warp is working on a crazy project. He is building a huge Imperial Palace terrain piece. It's pretty awesome! And I'm working on my Reaver Titan on my blog, The Inner Geek.

Perhaps the thinking is that since those armies have specific advantages, adding the benefits of the new codex might be too much? Personally, if I was playing against marines with Storm Shields, I'd give them the new rules for them regardless of what flavor the marines are.

I've been following this on Fritz's blog. It's a real genius piece of work! There is a lot to be learned in those videos for sure....

I just realized that Phil Kelley's initials are PK... That's what we used to call 'Player Killers' in the original Ultima Online... ironic! But, seriously, I'm proud of my fellow internetters out there. These complaints and comments are keeping a fairly civil tone. And I believe calm, well thought out critiques on the internet are more likely to get the attention of GW than people wailing and gnashing their teeth.

I wish I still had the article, but the GW guys once posted a 'how to' on making your own Blood Bowl star player. They gave the 'formula' that they used to create the ones in the game. I do believe you would have to have an advanced degree in engineering or mathematics to follow the thing. I'm not saying they put that much work into all their points calculations, but I do think they at least put some thought into them...

I'd hate to deny you the fun I'm having though! It's actually a really fun project. I don't know if I'd build your for you, but I'd certainly lend you moral support while you built it!

He's been sitting in a figure case for years, he's just happy to be out on a table...

Re: Reaver Titan Pt 5 (Legs Major Parts Assembly)

TheInnerGeek — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 09:16:23 -0000

I've thought much about this very question. I believe the legs are just about ready to paint, once the toes and other fiddly bits are on. I can't see waiting to paint till the end because some parts will be hard to get to then.

TheInnerGeek — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 09:18:57 -0000

I guess it's a trade off, short wait = short post, longer wait = longer post. Looking back I guess this one wasn't too long, but it sure seemed that way last night while I was typing it!

Re: Tutorial: Stained Glass windows

TheInnerGeek — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 09:32:12 -0000

This is a great tutorial. It really makes me want to make something with stained glass windows in it. Maybe I'll work on some terrain after my current project!

Re: Tutorial: Stained Glass windows

TheInnerGeek — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 09:34:03 -0000

Hmmm, now I want to do terrain with both stained glass and water in it. Maybe a ruined chapel with a fountain!

Re: NEWS: THQs Rhino is Taking Shape

TheInnerGeek — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 09:40:32 -0000

I'll admit the first pics didn't get me all crazy with excitement, but now that it's starting to take shape I'm hopping on the Rhino bandwagon.... er... rhino-wagon.

Re: Reaver Titan Pt 5 (Legs Major Parts Assembly)

TheInnerGeek — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 12:28:29 -0000

Great Question! Hmmm. Not sure where exactly I'll put it. I might consider displaying at my local GW store if they would like to. My girlfriend is not into this hobby at all but she is very supportive and always wants to put stuff I work on onto a shelf for display, so maybe there will be shelf it lives on? If I ever get around to making a table to game on, it may live there. Even when not it play it might make nice scenery!

Could B.O.B. be Big Ole Bird for a greater daemon of Tzeentch? Wow, another Land Raider... um... put it over there with the others...

I hate being kept in suspense! I guess we'll find out in about 16 days...

Great point on the Forge World stuff! I agree...

Sounds like you and your group of friends are fun to play. I like it when people can joke around when they are playing, whether they are winning or not! I'm gonna have to write down that, 'lash out' comment...

Re: Modeling Project: Eldar Wraithlord

Once upon a time most of my minis were just built and painted for fun. Just whatever took my fancy at the time. I may have to re-integrate that style of hobby into my life again. I think I was a better painter when I did it more for fun than to collect or finish something. Maybe I'll just do large projects for a while. I'm enjoying my current titan project, and I have a Marauder Destroyer and Vulcan Macharius I could blog the build up on after the titan. Hmmm. Yea that is starting to sound good!

Yes! I too spilled the big money for the Adeptus Titanicus box set. It was thirty US dollars when I bought it. My friends and I had a lot of fun stomping around with 3 vs 3 Warlord Titans!
