Lord Antares Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Just short of A$3000 (about 1200 UK pounds), models only... sorry I don't have the 'pound' symbol on my keyboard! thats actually not nearly as bad as I thought it would be. Well, I salute you my friend, THAT sir, is dedication :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ocid Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 You sir are off your nut. How can you put so much stuff together and not start gibbering and drooling in the corner is beyond me. Quality so far even if you didn't paint a single fig it would still look epic on the battlefield. Do you plan to play it all in one game? Do you have an opponent with enough points to match this beast? Wonder if someone has an Ork or Nid horde of this size?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dustermaker Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 WOW, my goodness......I have never seen so many marines. I thought that I spent a lot(800 usd) for my 4k worth of models for my new Black Templar army. You def have me beat! The only gripe I have is.......Ultramarines? Should have made them Imperial Fists!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muskie Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 It's a well known fact that boring and blue is like the IBM of Chapters. You never go wrong with big blue. ;-) Never calculate how much you've spent, it'll only depress you... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortsonfire79 Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Meheh! You're building four land raiders at a time, and I have a field day with one! ...as I don't have the fortune to be able to get more than one at a time... I envy you..THIS much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Castellan Mik Posted October 23, 2008 Author Share Posted October 23, 2008 Replies Ocid: I like the idea of Campaigns, you know wysiwyg; from planet fall to win. So, all the forces would be in a few continuous games - or one game with a lot of turns. I allready have an equal size opponent - ME with IG, check back with my post #12; that army is now twice as big. Muskie: I always add up the dollars - before I spend more, I need to work out the savings, etc Knowing the actual cost, the RRP, the savings, other prices (on ebay, etc), all add to the enjoyment... Sooooo much stuff for sooooo little $$$ See... cool isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Castellan Mik Posted October 25, 2008 Author Share Posted October 25, 2008 As a side thought... I've been thinking about a Master of the Forge conversion - I have a direct sales full harness Techmarine and this would be a brilliant start. I allso have a conversion Beamer from Space Crusade days (GW designed). I know that the C:SM says Full Harness OR conversion Beamer, however, I recently read a thread that stated as a compramise, he kept the actual Full Harness arms, removed all the attachments, and replaced with the Conversion Beamer on the arm - with other trinkets... thus not countering the actual rule. What do YOU think guys... does it work, coz the Full Harness IS the Master of the Forge... How could GW take it away? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpt Ultio Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 I say go for it. The game is about having fun and modling stuff etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brambleten Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 all i can say is wow. that many marines is an awe inspiring sight. may i suggest build a squad at a time, then paint it, then built another, and paint that one? that way its less likely you will kill yourself through removing mold lines. looking forward to seeing a lot more marines produced and painted, even if they are ultramarines!

Lord Castellan Mik Posted October 25, 2008 Author Share Posted October 25, 2008 I know what you are saying... however, as you see from the LR factory, I love production line... Fluff and research I'm brilliant at, building I'm very good at, converting I'm good at, and painting this size (I'm used to Epic remember) I've got to learn - and stop start per squad is not a learning curve for me. I know that by doing it my way, you guys only get to see half finished stuff for a while... but the end will come to those who wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Shrike Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Wow. I've never seen that much plastic. How many GW stores' entire 40k sections did you empty? I would just like to thank you for significantly raising GW's chances of surviving single-handedly. B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeller Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 (edited) ;) You are living the dream. When it's all done and deployed during your apoc game will you sit back, take it all in for a second and then throw your head back cackling like a villain while raising your open hands to the sky?

Lord Castellan Mik Posted October 26, 2008 Author Share Posted October 26, 2008 When all is complete, I have a 12' x 6' game table (the pics show one third) I plan to line the Ultras against the Guard... sort of like the GW GD display "Battle for Macragge"... awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
