Two questions, why are these things so tiny and almost impossible to paint properly for me, and why are they so god damn expensive?
Any idea where i can find instructions for building a lego dreadnought or other warhammer related stuff? [video=youtube;olz3VBzAWmc]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=olz3VBzAWmc&feature=related[/video]

I think an interesting thing to happen to the Emperor is that when he dies, he has no physical manifestation. He would just be as powerful as a chaos god, but in the imperium's interests and incorruptible. So instead of praying to a dying corpse-like person, the Imperium would have a true god on their side.

At that point, he'd be called the Star Child, which is a pretty silly name but whatever.

Checking through the Forge World Chaos stuff and damn there is some awesome shit. I mean look at this thing: [img]http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Images/Product/DefaultFW/xlarge/bsimpaler.jpg[/img]
Now that's just excessive. Who the hell needs a knife with a gun attatched to a chain in place of their forearm?
We need a Warhammer game where the units actually are more than just a 3D model with a health bar (like in Men of War, where every tank has several modules that can break, different armour thicknesses and all that). There is nothing wrong with the scale of Dawn of War 2, as long as the units are "deeper", I mean fuck CoH (vanilla) had a much better damage system and feel on vehicles than DoW2.

[QUOTE=MagnusTacitus;32568770]But would he still be able to maintain the Astronomican? :S[/QUOTE] That is an interesting question.
Fuck astronomican, they wouldn't need it since he'd just show them the way through the warp.
[QUOTE=imadaman;32568955]Fuck astronomican, they wouldn't need it since he'd just show them the way through the warp.[/QUOTE] Or just fucking steamroller his way through the warp, clearing nice and clean corridors between planets and sectors.
[QUOTE=Géza!;32568974]Or just fucking steamroller his way through the warp, clearing nice and clean corridors between planets and sectors.[/QUOTE] Alternatively, he guides his servants to continue his work on the Webway, with no Magnus to fuck things up since he'd have been mindfucked by the God-Emperor by then.

If those end up unpainted and forgotten in some box in a basement, I'm going to find you and shove a Forge World Tau Manta up your ass (the big one).
Surely you mean when not if.

Look it up.
[QUOTE=LordLoss;32569905]WH40k mod for MoW perhaps? Look it up.[/QUOTE] Yeah I'm pretty pumped for it (they have a ton of IG models ready, albeit not textured). However it's still just a mod, I don't know how much they can do (as long as you have IG and traitors that are pretty much normal humans, fine, but when you start adding Orks, Necrons and Tyranids you need all new animations, same goes for walkers and anything non-tank).
If you're a WHF fan, then Warhammer: Mark of Chaos is a must have, it's a great blend of tabletop and videogame. Plus the customiser is insane.
People put religious Bumper Stickers on their cars all the time. I want a sticker that says "The Emperor Protects.." on the bumper and than a bunch of magnets made to look like Seals.

[QUOTE=biodude94566;32567719]Secondly, I'm wanting to eventually make a Macha costume for cons or Halloween. I'm 6' and 130lbs, with naturally red hair that falls halfway down my back.

[QUOTE=RayvenQ;32569973]If you're a WHF fan, then Warhammer: Mark of Chaos is a must have, it's a great blend of tabletop and videogame. Plus the customiser is insane.[/QUOTE] Seconding this. Remember having it, then I lost it and now it seems it's not sold anywhere as digital download (well it's on D2D, but without expansion, and I bet a D2D vanilla won't work with the expansion from somewhere else or retail).

That, and Mark of Chaos is probably the only massive-scale Warhammer game.
