Happy Birthday! Have fun!

uh ... a song that always comes up for me is VNV Nation - Standing preferrably the "motion" version.

I'm not even on the same continent, but welcome!

Should nightgaunts have any facial features (like eyes)? According to Cthulhu lore they should not ... great sculpt anyhow.

I openly admit that I like Casablanca. So it's technically not a guilty pleasure.

Started something - and might enter and join the website if it turns up reasonably well.

nah, it should just be 2.5 ...:motz:

March 15th? I might be able to enter something.

Death Marshalls win that hands down IMHO.

Anybody knows how big it is? If in the right range it could be a nice BB treeman alternative

thx, but GW only in order to be tournament legal ...

uh - oh should know my BB models better ... forgot about that one. thx for the tip.

Happy Birthday! Have Fun!

Thx for your help. I already suspected that there never has been a female skaven. I'll look into the ogress. Would have to remove the "weapon" and prob the beard. I'll also take a look if I can find the goblin cheerleaders somewhere. They'll probably need an arm/hand swap to get rid of the pompoms. I know about that one, but, unfortunately, if this Chaos Pact team is my next years tournament team, including the official GW tournaments, it has to be GW minis only.

One of my next projects is a Blood Bowl Chaos Pact team with a slaaneshi theme. The team will be called "Brides of Slaanesh" As you can guess, all players will be female, which leads to my inquiry. I have no deep knowledge of past GW products. It has to be GW, because I want to take the team to the two official BB tournaments by GW, the Blood Bowl in Nottingham and the Dungeon Bowl in Dusseldorf, Germany. Chaos Pact is a new team which has members of all the "chaotic" races in the warhammer world. For the basic linewomen, I already have 12 metal Daemonettes (last edition) I now need 1 Dark Elf, 1 Goblin, 1 Skaven, 1 Troll, 1 Minotaur and 1 Ogre. The Dark Elf is rather easy, that would be a witch elf. I've also got 2 copies of the Masque of Slaanesh, but would like to use only one for preferably either Ogre or Minotaur, but could do with minor conversions and using them both. I now need a female goblin, a female skaven and a female Troll (+ Ogre probably). Any ideas? Thx for your help.

Welcome to the forums!

Like the old immigration form. there you have been asked "if you conducted or planned a terrorist attack". I'm still wondering if somebody really expected anyone to answer "yes" there.

Happy Birthday! Have Fun!

Another idea for a community event: Annually legacy warbands This idea comes from an annual event on the talkbloodbowl.com site (and the NAF as well). First, the community decides which team/race to paint, which colourscheme etc. Basically, everybody who then decides to take part paints a miniature of said team/race and sends it to the organizer. At the end of the year a draw is made and one lucky person out of the contributors wins the whole team. With some adaptations, could easily be done with Malifaux warbands.

they are nice, esp the first one. What's this faction called?

I don't want to hijack the thread, but I think there's a significant difference between the skill of miniature painting and writing or judging a piece of literature not in your native language. With a second language you'll always end up missing some cultural references, sayings, whatever ... no matter how good your "skill" in that language is. I'm actively speaking English for most of my life (and actually live in an english-speaking country at the moment), but some references, jokes etc., I still don't get.

Just a quick thought concerning writing contests ... I suppose the prerequisite language would be English (like the site). Non-native English speakers might feel left out. Communicating in English is nice and fine, spelling and grammar errors are politely ignored (unless you're a lolcat ...), but those points come to attention when writing or judging a shot story or any other piece of prose.

Some notions, not in any specific meaningful order though ... 1) I would like to see the 3 classic Wyrd contests continued (Rotten Harvest, Femme Fatale, Total Testosterone) 2) I don't care for Iron Painter as far as actual entering goes. It just doesn't go down well with my overall busy schedule. 3) I hate cash prizes. The probability of winning cash brings out the worst in people and can destroy a community. For the exact same reason I would never ever enter a contest or tournament where a cash prize is offered. 4) I like vouchers as prizes. A limited edition mini would also be nice. Probably just a variant of an existing mini for the Malifaux game. 5) I would like to see a change to the "exactly 3 votes" rule in the classic contests. It creates much confusion for many voters and doesn't really work well with categories which have a low number of entrants. Maybe some weighed voting (1st, 2nd and so on) could be an alternative. 6) I would like to see the "Comment on everything" prize removed. There are lots of silly one sentence comments out there, which obviously have just been written to write something, anything to fulfill the requirments for that prize. It would also get rid of the awkward situation of commenting on your own entry ... 7) Mini contests, I like them. Low threshold, gets people involveld in the community. There are some on the Reaper Forums from time to time, like a speedpaint contest (you get 4 hours on a given day to paint a (specific) mini). Could be done with small prizes (5$ voucher or a special forums feature) or without any. just my 2cents ...

Happy new year to everybody!
