Very interested in this. I was looking at a Cricut the other day, maybe it could cut card floor plates and panels for my zone mortalis board. But it looked expensive so I’ll keep an eye out for a second hand one … if you think these things have potential. I hadn’t even heard of them until a week ago.

Welcome Dave, we’d love to see your progress - post pictures.

I would echo the Anvil Industry tip - they have a space cowboy range I think, and tend to sell bits. You could probably have an imperial guard army with head swaps and the odd weapon swap and have a cowboy feel - although do cowboys ever go around in such big groups? Maybe Kill Team or Necromunda would have more of a cowboy feel.

I’m similar to a lot of the above. Alpha Legion in 4 and 6, emphasising mobility, never mixing marks in a squad, presenting “one face to the enemy”. World Eaters get some mixed mark squads; it’s to represent their high casualty rate and that they are past caring about presenting an image of uniform soldiers.

The answer might be the other way round: replace terminators with chonky and not-agile alternatives: orks in mega-armour, or exo-armour squats. Let them shoot bugs (and stand on smaller bases!)

Jeff Goldblum will have to say “well, there it isn’t.”

I feel there is a compromise here: we assume each squad is actually a Demi-squad and give half the squads back banners. Still a bit awkward on the rhino door but rule of cool trumps all.

So the 32mm is for the leader then?

Yeah hence the rings - push hard and they stop you pushing harder: But that would might for something like miliput, not expanded polystyrene.

Do you mean like the Green Stuff World rolling pins? With the special rings to create an even thickness, textured surface on some kind of putty? Might be worth asking in the modelling section.

Love John Hodgson, terrified by AI.

Don’t click on suspicious links, kids! Absolutely agree some real death is needed and absolutely no reason GW can’t sell and we can’t play games with “dead” characters’ models. We had a Solar Macharius model, for example. They made it a story not a setting, so it’s a problem they created. I guess they are doing a bit, it’s why we have the next generation like Ursula Creed and maybe we’ll see more of that?

Ha! I guess I first got into Warhammer when I was 12 or 13. And my parents didn’t do anything to stop me - beyond maintaining an air of mild distain about it. I guess they saw me working to pay for it at least. I realised I had to try harder with my son to keep him from the addiction. I kept all my Warhammer secret from him, locked away in forbidden cupboards, and would avoid the shop in town. It didn’t work, he got invited to a birthday party that turned out to be a Warhammer painting party and came back saying “Dad, you won’t believe what I’ve discovered, there’s these amazing models and it’s called Warhammer and we have to get some!” He was about 10 maybe?

Welcome! Post pictures of the painted models please.

Not that I want to give them jobs, but is it easy for a friendly passing mod to add tags if they see obvious ones missing?
