I guess the last category is where my Primarch-hood lies.   For everyone there is a niche - its always good to find yours and enjoy it! I'm still looking BTW _________________ Tas My General blog: http://tasmancave.blogspot.com/ My VSF Blog: http://pauljamesog.blogspot.com/ My ECW Blog: http://declaresir.blogspot.com/

Dafrca, buying completed stuff doesn't work for me - I have to mess about and convert or paint or do something to them! ? It was just an idea. If you fill some of the ranks with already painted stuff, and use your custom stuff as the show pieces, you will have a large army and have the fun you wish with the conversions etc. It was just a suggestion. dafrca _________________ "Every Man is a But Spark in the Darkness"               - Cities of Death, page 59 Come fight me, if you dare...... http://dd-janks.mybrute.com

Quote (Tas @ 24 2005 June,01:22) [quote="vanvlak,23 2005 June,18:49"][/quote] 2 - I am officially abandoning any attempt at reaching a Primarchial scale. I think Primarchism is a state of mind ? Besies, aprt from your good self, how many others in your lcoal area have such a collection? ?Localised Primarchial states can be achieved! Excellent point, Tas! Compared to my epic opponents, I DO have a primarchload!      I agree, Primarchism is a state of mind.     And, to put my 2 cents in for weather, here in Connecticut, we might hit 100 Fahrenheit tomorrow, which is about 38 Celsius. _________________ "I don't believe in destiny or the guiding hand of fate."

There is a storage issue, too...... I guess - as Tas pointed out - my fate is to build a Primarchload of weird odds and ends - calling them show pieces is far too generous! Not bad, Connecticut!   _________________ Back from oblivion (again)?

With or without Titans, which we  rarely deployed, even though I have around 20, + or - ...  My tactic is get 1 Det. or so of everything and play the game with those. Oh and it's going to be about 90 degrees F here in NE Ohio ! I like IT ! _________________ Legion 4 "Cry Havoc, and let slip the Dogs of War !" ...

Here is another idea, make some of the custom things and "trade" them to others for extras you need. I know I would be willing to do so to have some cool custom stuff. dafrca _________________ "Every Man is a But Spark in the Darkness"               - Cities of Death, page 59 Come fight me, if you dare...... http://dd-janks.mybrute.com

Wouldn't trust him, though. Here he is Hawley Griffin. And no, the idea is not original. _________________ Back from oblivion (again)?

He isn't as dark as shown - I still need to improve lighting for dark model pics. _________________ Back from oblivion (again)?

No conversions for once - unless you count the pimple on the Invisible Man's nose. It's there. Honest.   _________________ Back from oblivion (again)?

Neat Concept !  The S/Trooper is well done ... nice and tactical !   BTW, speaking of Invisible Man ... I saw online a company make models of the "Predator" Alien ... "cloaked" or in "Chameleoline" ... they were molded in clear plastic ! _________________ Legion 4 "Cry Havoc, and let slip the Dogs of War !" ...

PIC OF THE WEEK - FIRST VICTORIAN 28mm MODEL (FOR ME) Hi all, early pic of the Vanvlakina week - and here's my first HULK VICTORIA character - and an ambiguous one to boot. Wouldn't trust him, though. Here he is Hawley Griffin. And no, the idea is not original. I particularly like his invisible cat familiar...   I saw online a company make models of the "Predator" Alien ... "cloaked" or in "Chameleoline" ... they were molded in clear plastic !

yeah, Ainsty used to make them -you could get the same figure in lead or clear plastic for cloaked or not as you wished.  Neat
