Well, I figured it was about time our forum got one of these :D
Post piccies of your 40K armies here, or simply chat about what you like collecting/what your going to collect next and other stuff.
I'll start with a couple of shots of my current project, my Dark Angels:

Glue applied.

Yeah... all my minis are unpainted and at my parents' house still.
As per a different thread: nice paint job!
/jealous of the GW culture in Engerland. The Dutch are silly.
But my rangers would still kick your ass with 60 sniper rifles... pow pow pow!

I have a fully painted Necron army and currently working on a hefy Tau force. Played my first Apocalypse game at the weekend with 4 mates, good larf. Used to play WHFB too but cash flow issues, lack of time and to be honest brain space trying to remember different rule sets I jacked it in in favour of 40k. Plus I know more folk that play that. Also dabble in GW's Lord of the Rings Game too. Have a fully realised Helms Deep model I made for it.
Will upload pics if someone can guide me on how/hosting site etc?
-
i use http://www.webshots.com/ (http://www.webshots.com/) to host my piccies then all i do is use the use the codes supplied to post onto the forums
any other photo host would do, i like webshots for my photography as they give space for 1000 images on signup and a further 100 every month your a member and its free.

Photobucket is good too :)
-
Just thought I'd revive this thread somehwhat.
Played in a local Tournie at the weekend and came 4th, so not too shabby. However, I went on to win best painted, so pretty chuffed.
I'm planning on doing some completed army pics at some point, so will get them posted up when I get chance.

Baited breath :)
Do some WFB too :D

As promised, here we are.
After breaking my back to get these boys finished for the weekend, I finally managed to get my 1500 point DA army complete. Amazingly, this is my first ever fully painted 40K army in nearly 13 years! The shame of it... :-[
Anyway, here are the pics. I won best painted for these guys, so I'm pretty chuffed. I scored a few opposing players 10/10 for their painting, so competition was fierce. :D
The Army:

Let me know what you guys think. C&C is always welcome.

Wow that is simply amazing mate. Awesome work - can see the time it took in the work itself.
I do like Deathwing as my favourite of the whole thing.
-
My first thought on seeing the two Rhinos was that the second one is engaging a cloaking device.
-
Congratulation on a very beautiful army. May it give you innumerable victories 8)
-
If only you were a woman Kurtt. If only.
Oh what am I saying. I'd have you as a man as well. <3
-
Potentially a silly question, but is the grass green out of the packet?
-
Check this (http://www.irondogstudios.com/images/tater/mek_tater.html) out! Brilliant!
Sadly not my brilliant project, but I just had to share. ;D
-
Oh god that is just amazing, seriously impressive

The Army:
Nice, very nice, I'll need to get some pics of my Necrons up at some point.
Hopefully getting to visit Warhammer World this weekend while down near Nottingham. Will be taking plenty of pictures there too.

I hate you, now i feel the urge to start painting up my Blood Angels again. Difficult project with the little one crawling around and wanting to bash everything i am having my hands on (Some of you had the good fortune to see the results of my daughter bashing my keyboard)
but great paintjob!!
-
Well, I may well be returning to these boys in the very near future.
Want to add another Tactical Squad in Rhino and three Vindicators.

Apparently 40k is conditioning kids for war!
http://www.pbsblog.com/projects/spacemarines/deathtoys.html
The Space Marines come equipped with all of the latest sneaky back-door techniques of conditioning children to accept war and total obedience to authority, complete with telling them to extract pride from doing so and to see themselves as superior beings with the unquestionable right to kill, on command. All in a fun package guaranteed to go mostly unnoticed by distracted, harried parents.
The Space Marines will condition your child to see the genetic mutilation of his or her body as desirable and good, because here it is framed in a way to make it sound like the road to being superhuman. Being superhuman then must be a good and desirable thing.
No discussions about ethics are needed here, they would just get in the way of the pure conditioning going on in your child's brain.
What's really fun about this particular toy set is finding all the occult and new world order references. They abound and if you peruse the page you'll find it chock full of nifty, or is it creepy, predictive programming and even tactics to go street by street in a town near you murdering every person you can find. This will make your child a hero. There are swell icons like Azrael, (Israel?) the supreme Grand Master who's "codex" description sounds like something out of a high mason's ceremony.
There's also Lucius, the Eternal. A sadistic slaughterer who can never truly be killed.
There's the Ordo Malleus, Horus, and even a rendition of futuristic looking creepy nazi-like thugs that bear an amazing resemblance to the futuristic looking creepy nazi-like thugs depicted at the Denver airport in the infamous creepy as hell mural on their walls.

Azrael, (Israel?) the supreme Grand Master
What? Gargamel of the smurfs is involved too!? :o
This goes deeper than I thought!
-
that dumb tit who posted that page is obviously a thick idiot :)
Azrael is the islamic Angel of death (and one of Lucifers fallen angels) for instance nowt to do with Israel
....and its just a GAME :)
gamers have been bombarding him with hate mail which is funny :)
-
It's just a typical example of a Canarican without a sense of humour. :)
Basically, yes,
1. it's a game.
2. The (not so) "obscure" references to occult and RL is (imho) on purpose - WH40K is kinda Apocalyptic/dystopian in theme.
So even their good guys are not so good. Well, that's the relaxed (european?) way I look at it. ;)
