None of it seems to match up. Chaos and Nids are pretty much the biggest threats to the galaxy and it can be argued that nids may be the greatest of the two. But they just don't play that way. <br /><br />In all my recent games I've had a whole lot of laughs at just how woeful they are that's just not right. Even with all the things they've added to our Codex it still doesn't stack up. This may just be me, clearly they can be competitive and win but I'm really struggling to find anything I actually like. Even Flyrants have lost their appeal. Sure they fly around and just lots of things but how much do they cool and how do they score to make them worthwhile. And you're talking 230pts each! <br /><br />Can't wait to go Dark Angels... yeah cos that'll solve all my problems ;)40kaddicthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12763647828123242837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7125294933155144215.post-87638845858255305082015-06-03T20:59:09.899+01:002015-06-03T20:59:09.899+01:00The pose can be restrictive once you get more than...The pose can be restrictive once you get more than a couple but I think it's really cool.

The Pyrovore is on a 50, 60 was just too big. So the 40 may just be glued to a 50 and then I'll smooth the join with Milliput and sand the edges so it'll look like it's on a 'rusty knoll' :)<br /><br />Everything else - Dark Angels and all my nids will remain on the old bases, it took me too long to do all this re-basing would be detrimental to my well-being!40kaddicthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12763647828123242837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7125294933155144215.post-75243988647144247742015-06-03T20:54:26.315+01:002015-06-03T20:54:26.315+01:00Thanks Marc, there'll be no rush though as ple...Thanks Marc, there'll be no rush though as plenty more projects to do before then and hopefully that missing one will turn up.40kaddicthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12763647828123242837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7125294933155144215.post-73604579548282730312015-06-02T20:44:19.477+01:002015-06-02T20:44:19.477+01:00I give Lictors my stamp of approval for cool fluff...I give Lictors my stamp of approval for cool fluff, and in editions from long ago, they were quite good. Sadly, I don't particularly care for the model (I never have) and think the rules are pretty atrocious (despite what some people have managed to do with min/max style lists). <br /><br />There's definitely potential there though...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7125294933155144215.post-80666307242273247882015-05-31T12:55:14.149+01:002015-05-31T12:55:14.149+01:00Such a cool unit, if your interested Dave I done a...Such a cool unit, if your interested Dave I done a blog on making lictors from warriors & a few other parts, it means you get 3 for the price of " & you can make them to look different from each other, anyway here's the link.<br /><br /> http://ifitwasntforone.blogspot.ie/2015/03/40k-how-to-plastic-lictor.htmlFrank O Donnellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16051293398042518708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7125294933155144215.post-29946161369939996042015-05-31T10:58:31.312+01:002015-05-31T10:58:31.312+01:00Super cool man, I haven't played mine in a gam...Super cool man, I haven't played mine in a game yet but I will soon I think, I really love this model a lot!echoesfromthewastelandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03010617510876887170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7125294933155144215.post-58240248071148620002015-05-30T22:17:50.254+01:002015-05-30T22:17:50.254+01:00Damn it, you're making me want to paint more. ...Damn it, you're making me want to paint more.
