Baal Dropout Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 ^^+1 :lol: Its been dormant. My grades have slipped, and I haven't been doing much 40k at all...sorry. It's just a hobby bro! Also, if you get good grades, your parents wont pester you as much during your free time (maybe push the envelop and have them buy a box or two for ya if you get excellent marks at the end of the term ;) ) Now if I only follow my own advice, I wouldnt even be here lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They wouldn't pester me! I know! I just..don't! Haha. A lot of the time, I get the "if you do good, then you might get whatever you're talking about" but, they're old, and senile, so they forget by dinner. I wish I followed my own advice too (tut vids) Thanks guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezeckial Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Thats one amazing landraider, its a shame you needed to stop, but it is fair enough, its a good thing that you have got good priorites, i had to take a couple of years out of 40k cos i was wasting time in my last year of college/1st year of uni now im in my second, decided that if i buy one army, convert it nicely enough etc and game rather thn collect all wil be good, well done =] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NemFX Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 You could always do a two minute ms paint doodle on one of your pictures and be like "okay, so my camera is being weird, but this is how it looks now.. the stick figure on top is very happy that work is being done!"

That my dear friend, is a genius idea! But then..I'd stop (after I get a flood of them) getting comments. =-( Which is what I love. Which I didn't know I got new comments, because of all the BLASTED LPC threads!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Captain Andrecus Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 I know what you mean... It;s like every other thread is an LPC one... I perfectly understand if you have school priorities. Actually, I would definitely say that school is more important than gaming... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shortsonfire79 Posted February 19, 2009 Author Share Posted February 19, 2009 Hooray Threadmancy!!! As you all should know, I'm restarting a Deathwing army. What a great reason to try and finish the LRE again! So far, things that need to be shipped to me (That I've already paid for) -Assault on Black Reach -5 Ranged Terminators -10 Terminators (I don't know what type..but I'm not worried) -5 Assault on Black Reach Terminators -5, 3rd edition Terminators -Land Raider -Land Raider Prometheus complete kit. Now, get this, the 20 terminators listed after "ranged Termies" and the LRP, were from a great deal. I'm making some guy a Volcano Cannon and a Head for his Warlord Class titan, and I get all that for free! Its going to cost me maybe $20 for supplies..(he doesn't care what I use) and I'm getting near $250 worth of merch! HURRAH!!!! And I already have 5 3rd edition Terminators, so I have a total of 35!!! I was supposed to get 4 AoBR Dreadnoughts, and the captain, but that was like..4 months ago, and they were lost in the mail..but I only paid $26 for them! =-D So who might succeed in his Deathwing Army? ME!!!! HUZZAH!! HUZZAH!! HUZZAHHHH!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NemFX Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Awesome. It's funny, after seeing this and so many of the bigger projects I decided to finally start my project too. So much for stopping buying stuff.. Hopefully I can inspire you as much as you inspired me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've already made $100...but I'm going to slowly make a Deathwing Army. And I've made more progress in one night tonight since the day I bought these two boxes! http://i379.photobucket.com/albums/oo234/shortsonfire80/LRE/IMG_7753.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shortsonfire79 Posted February 20, 2009 Author Share Posted February 20, 2009 Thanks Sword Brethren. Update! I'm rushing, I know. The front, top plate looks like crap, I'm going to have to gap fill that...or put a thin sheet of plasticard on top of it all. But I glued it together, on one side. This is so exciting! http://i379.photobucket.com/albums/oo234/shortsonfire80/LRE/IMG_7754.jpg Look Ma! No putty! http://i379.photobucket.com/albums/oo234/shortsonfire80/LRE/IMG_7756.jpg And the HUGE mass of glue I used..its sick. http://i379.photobucket.com/albums/oo234/shortsonfire80/LRE/IMG_7755.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shortsonfire79 Posted February 21, 2009 Author Share Posted February 21, 2009 I finished the sponson magnets...for the Lascannons. I also attached the engine. The entire thing is glued now, so its pretty solid, with all the glue I used. Of course, the sponsons aren't glued IN, but the magnetic rotaty things are. http://i379.photobucket.com/albums/oo234/shortsonfire80/LRE/IMG_7757.jpg http://i379.photobucket.com/albums/oo234/shortsonfire80/LRE/IMG_7758.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortsonfire79 Posted February 21, 2009 Author Share Posted February 21, 2009 AHHDFHSDIUH!!!! Mondo problemo! So heres the Flamestorm Cannon's, and the Lascannon's attacher thingie. http://i379.photobucket.com/albums/oo234/shortsonfire80/LRE/IMG_7759.jpg Flamestorm cannons, and possibly Hurricane bolters (I haven't given those a good look yet)...they have a thing that wraps around the back. Like so http://i379.photobucket.com/albums/oo234/shortsonfire80/LRE/IMG_7761.jpg Big problem. The two attacher thingies are different sizes...so it looks like this. http://i379.photobucket.com/albums/oo234/shortsonfire80/LRE/IMG_7762.jpg I'm thinking of fixing it like this..but it might look a bit funky backwards, but nobody would notice unless I've told them. http://i379.photobucket.com/albums/oo234/shortsonfire80/LRE/IMG_7763.jpg What do you all think?

FishSpit Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 I think it looks awesome, but the sponsons look silly in the assembled pic. *I have no experience with sponson guns so I cannot help you there* But when the four lascannon sponsons are attached, the one in front severly limits the fire arc of the one behind it, I would suggest fining a way to extend the sponson so all four lascannons could shoot foreword, becasue the back row of them has limited uses. Nowe that i look at it again, a good way to combat this problem would be to un-twinlink the rear lascannons by removing the inner one, that would allow a little more or a fire arc.

Thats true and all...but then..that would basically just make this a mondo Terminus Ultra Land Raider...backwards... =-P. And I just sold one of those (BAH!) I might have to play the sponsons with a slightly smaller ark of fire, and anyways...the rear ones wouldn't be able to fire through the one in front anyways... I might leave it...but that does bring up a good point. YEAHH!! Mick is finally going to remove them damn mold lines!!!! YESS!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
