The fact that its not a Wyrd fig has absolutely nothing to do with anything. I don't think it should have been taken down, personally, but I'm not admin, lol. My advice? Shoot a admin a pm, find out exactly what's up.

Honestly, you get used to it.

Okay, I'm, going to impart upon thee the most deadly and dreaded of the SPAs tactics... The Desolation Engine Choo-Choo Pain Train! How's this work? Get 4 or more SPAs. Out-activate your opponent, if you can. Get Levi to cast Blessings of Desolation on the back-most SPA. Get Rusty Alyce to cast Burn Out on another, or the same SPA (Depends on if you can keep it alive easily, you don't want the cast-upon SPA to get nuked.). Move the SPA swarm downfield in a diamond formation- Keep Pace lets you push each SPA in base-to-base back into base-to-base, so you can drag around 5-6 SPAs as a group. Once you get to your second-to-last SPA, move it, then cast Concentrated Deformation. Place the new DE as far upfield as you can. With 4 SPAS, you can get around 15 inches upfield, including the DE base size. Since the last SPA never activated, the new DE has 2 APs, and since it's a replacement effect, is still affected by both Blessings of Desolation, giving it a auto-Warping Touch, and Burn Out, giving it a Reactivate. Charge the DE downfield. Overall, you get somewhere around a 20 inch threat range. Not too shabby. Finish t charge, and get te free melee attack from Melee Expert, cast Desolation for (0), end first activation. Reactivate the DE, and either swing 3 times against what's in your reach, or charge again. After this, or before, depending, cast Desolation again. Your goal here is to kill at least 2 enemy models with te DE's melee attacks, giving you two new SPAs. Then, if your DE is killed, you're good to make another DE next round if your first is killed. All in all, the DE is a Glass Cannon, but what a cannon! Have any questions? I'm not the greatest explainer, so if you need clarification, please ask. -Chris.

Am I featured in those nightmares? ... are they the ones with the man-sized carrot and the kinda whirly blade thingie? ... Why am I the only one that has that dream?

Nekimas a smiley! Lol. Niiiice.

At least he'll die happy.

Personally, Levi + Gaki = infinite strike goodness. It's not teh best thigne ver, but Levi casting Blessings of Desolation on 2 Gaki and having them cycle a Feeding Frenzy trigger forever is funny. Great for murdering a big, low DF beast relatively easily.

*sets a layer cake under a cardboard box propped up on a stick* ... The bait is set. Now all I have to do is wait.

But the freikorps rule says "hired as a mercenary". In a Vik crew, the freikorps aren't. Von schills rule implies a difference between the mercenary type and being hired as a mercenary. Yes? If there is a difference, then in a outcast crew, t&r freikorps aren't hired as a merc. Still limited to 2 without von schill, but that doesn't matter. The point is, a crew led by the Viks can hire both freikorp models and other merc models. Can't be simpler then that.

Yes, exactly. But if the mercenary tag counted as "hired as a merc", then von schill wouldn't be able to hire non-freikorps outcast mercs, due to the freikorps rules. So, merc tag isn't equal to "hired as a merc" So the viktorias can hire both the freikorps and other mercs. Yes?

But von schills rule says "freikorps and mercenary models", which implies a differency between the mercenary tag and "hired as a merc". Otherwise, von schill would only be able to hire friekorps, and thats silly.

Nope! the Freikorps things says "If they are hired as mercenaries", meaning by someone out of faction, whether they pay the +1SS cost or not (For example, Dues Paid negates the extra SS cost for being hired as a merc). Viktorias go very well with Freikorps, and have no problem using them. I'm not quoting from the book, since I'm not at home, but I'll make sure to update this with the relevant text once I get home.

What'd he create that on?

That's pretty special, not going to lie.

It's Irish stout, Irish cream, and Irish whiskey, mixed, dropped, and drank quickly before it curdles.

LCB is a great model, but especially his shoulders/chest join has a pretty large seam, front and back. I can't wait to paint him, but he deserves nothing mroe than the best, and that means good greenstuff work, and I'm terrible at it.

"Irish car bomb"- mixed drink.

So, I'm dying for more LCB. Honestly, I'd also love to see your greenstuffing on Chompy in more detail, nothing I'm doing to him comes out right.

It was for the painting contest at gen con, single figure category.

Eeeeeeeevil Mr. Peanut. Hey, I'm down for a cosplay. we could have a contest! Best costume, funniest, etc.

So far, official tourneys have been no proxies, but otherwise, it's whatever the organizer decides. My personal opinion is that if the model is released, and you just don't like the sculpt/want more than one, and if you have another model that is very easely recognized as the model you're proxying for, go ahead.

Whoops. I thought i replied to that. My bad!

Nah, it's in the pudding.

I have one up for trade/sale, I'm looking especially for the Leveticus Box Set hollow waif.

Oh, but it's not a story, good sir!
