Warhammer 40,000

Even if they do somehow win the various dynasties will cause their new empire to collapse in on itself in another Forever War. Literally, considering that Necrons will self-repair no matter what damage they sustain.

and the necron recovery have limits, it was implied in the old codex but now is more clear that the necros goes insane if they recover to much, funny thing is made them similar to the dark eldar

OK, winning was the wrong word. Tyranids will eat everything they can and the only thing left behind would be the Necrons.

Nah, the Orks will be the last ones to have the last laugh.

... No, I changed my mind: The Ork/Tyranid hybrid race that will emerge as the ultimate victor of the Octarius/Octavius war will eat everyone else.

I'm now imagining orcs riding carnifexes, with guns that shoot hormagaunts.

I thought it was Orktavius

I suppose Ork revolution will be called....

...the Red Orktober.

I'll get my coat.

That kind of pun is noted to cause brain damage! Especially to the Orkcipital lobe!

That would be quite orkward.

I think that I remember a story in White Dwarf about an Imperial Navy hunt during the Third War for Armageddon for a particular Ork warship containing a genius Mekboy called Orkimedes. I think the story was called The Hunt For Red Orktober, but not the ship itself.

In modelling news, I have FINALLY fitted replacement canopies to my Vendetta, and the basecoats are down. The colours are based on Luftwaffe bomber camouflage. Will have some pics up shortly...

Pagad confirmed for Wehraboo.

I am sincerely convinced that someday there will be a "weeaboo" derivative for every single interest in the entire world.

Is someone an environmentalist? They're a treeaboo!
Dungeons and Dragons player? D&Daboo!
Enjoys winter sports? Skiaboo!

Totally not going to apply Do-17 decals to it. Noep.

They're all quality names though.

Report to the Commissar at 0800 for re-education. Write out 1000 times: "The Panther set itself on fire and is uglier than the T-44". Or Siberia.

Iron Crosses would perhaps be a bit much (and swastikas far more so). Identification numbers and warning signs will suffice, combined with official GW ones.

I also want to give it a shark mouth, but I'm undecided between the official decals (which lack the black and red background of more traditional ones) or a set from a spare Bf-109G kit (said decals being from the Finnish Air Force scheme◊).

Man, I so want to start a Dark Eldar army, but I'm too in love with my Guard army.

If I did start a Dark Eldar army, I kind of want to make an (as much as I can) all-female Kabal.

Right now I want to buy a Deathstrike. Whether or not it's a good use of points, I want it.

I need to work on my dark eldar army. I was trying to give them a Silent Hill-style paint job—fog colored armor and gory, rusted metals—and it was going alright. Part of the problem was that I was aiming for a "carnival of flesh" style army and in the first few months after launch that wasn't very well supported by models. Now it's much better supported and I'm too poor to ever care.

Sounds like an interesting scheme. I must work on my Wych army again although the question is whether I replace my current succubus with the beautiful new one.

Old photo◊ of my very dusty prototype.

Got my paint tray set up and ready to go...although I've realized that I should've gotten the larger one because the Citadel pots I have take up a lot more room than I thought they would, and when I get more paints I'm going to have to move my varnishes and some other stuff off to have room for them.

The rumor-mill has reached that lull betwixt updates again. The only thing floating down seems to be a Necron codex dropping Halloween-ish. Rumors say its a minimal release (Grey Knights used as reference), but there might be a repack of the Destroyer with both upgrade options included (heavy and lord).

I'll post again once something else surfaces.

I've been watching Miniwargarmer Jay's review of the DE codex, and while I don't (and probably won't) play them, from his comments overall I'm not seeing a huge hit to them aside from losing several H Qs due to the "named character w/o a model" issue.

And the Necron rumors have probably been debunked. That was fun while it lasted. I'll just wait till after the new End Times bit before believing any rumors.

Has anyone played Conquest yet? I've gone through a few games with a friend who bought the core. So far, it's quite nice.

I was quite interested in it. Care to post full thoughts and critique on it when you're done?
