sockwithaticket Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Although I'm not a fan of topknots the fluff and feel of these models is brilliant. The Redemptor, in particular, is great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flint13 Posted December 25, 2013 Author Share Posted December 25, 2013 Evening All! Just wanted to check in once before the Holidays to wish a happy few to everyone on here. First thing: Announcement. This is now the official theme music of the 28th-- [video=youtube;1BdpL_EATyc] My fav, time for replies. It still blows my mind how many I get in such a short time. Thanks so much guys @ Pyromancer - Glad to hear it. I'm still trying to figure out how to photograph more than a one or two models at a time. @ Kol - Sounds fair. I'm more of a TNG girl myself. Love me some Johnathan Frakes / Patrick Stewart wonderteam. @ Helter - Haha, wondered how long before someone mentioned it. Kosh'eth tay @ Aquilanus - Glad to hear its working. I come from a role-playing background, so I'm *all* about the fluff. I heartily recommend working it out for your Rainbow Warriors! At the very least, it makes you view a squads sacrifice on the tabletop much more intimately. @ Balth - Yay for loyalist sticktoitiveness! Come on over, the midnight clad water's great. Def looking forward to your own WiP! @ Kol - What is a TARDIS? I thought at first, it was short hand for someone being rude to handicapped folks, then I have pieced together it's something to do with Dr. Who. Maybe... @ deathspectersgt - Tosha amthilla van veshi laliss @ helter - As yrosia se naur tay helshival. @ heathens - Good call! @ Veteran Sergeant - Glad to hear you like it so far. I tend to keep my Nightlords only minimally flappy. @ Basswave - I admire any Iron Hands faithful still around after Clan Raukaan dropped. I'm glad to hear your first thought of them is as murderers... 'cause we are. First, last and always @ Barabbas - HA! Good to know I did my part. I admit I have only ever had two power armored loves, salamanders and the Nightlords. I will attest to the coolness of several others who will remain nameless, however. @ jeremy1391 - Oh, I've attracted a Fist player.... hope you missed the Redemptor a few pages back... Glad to see you stop in! @ sockwithaticket - Well... I figure there has to be someone out there to balance my topknot obsession. We'll say you're Samuel L. Jackson to my Bruce Willis! But glad to hear you like them. I've put a lot (for me) of work into them, both modeling and fiction. Again, thanks for everything. Hope everyone has a badass holiday.

Kol Saresk Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 I'm a fan of all the movies and shows. Except Number V. That just sucked. As for the TARDIS, let's just say you're on the right wibbly wobbly. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Chaplain Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 What is a TARDIS? Time and relative dimension in space. It's the Doctor's time machine stuck in the shape of a blue police box telephone booth. Again, thanks for everything. Hope everyone has a badass holiday. And I hope you are doing the same; how's the weather down there? It's in the low 20s up in NoVa today- wish we were having a white, snowy christmas. Got a quick question for you: how big are the fuel canister underslings on the dreadnought? Around the size of an IG grenade launcher drum or smaller? Need to find an appropriate bit for my dread.

Forté Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 Did someone really have to ask what a TARDIS is... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathspectersgt7 Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 And Seasons Greetings to you from the Snowy Wastes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kol Saresk Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 Did someone really have to ask what a TARDIS is... Do you know what a tricobalt weapon system is? What about the Pah'Wraith? Locutus? Hue? Or the Omega Particle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quixus Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 I know Pah'Wraiths and Locutus. Shouldn't it be Hugh/You if he belongs to the same universe? I draw a blank on the tricobalt weapon and the omega particle. Do I have to hand in my Nerd Card? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kol Saresk Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 I always thought it was Hue for some reason, but yeah its Hugh. The last two are Voyager references. The point is one can be into sci-fi without being into all of sci-fi and just because someone doesn't know what a TARDIS is doesn't mean we should be "Really? How do you not know that?" Otherwise anyone into Vampires would have to read Twilight and that's a punishment even Curze wouldn't inflict. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostMalone Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 Kol you do us all proud, I've never watched starfate Star Trek or anything like that because I'm an anime/manga nerd with a passion for final fantasy so outside of those areas I know nothing. Some of us are more nerds/geeks for certain areas of the aspect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quixus Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 Most vampire fans would probably still know what an Edward is and why he is a fairy and not a vampire. I get what you are saying though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flint13 Posted December 26, 2013 Author Share Posted December 26, 2013 HAHA! I can't sum up how much it amuses me that I come back to a tiny nerd debate. I love this place. @ Kol - Good to hear! I'm still clueless over Star Wars though... my knowledge extends to knowing Storm troopers are badass, and Vader is a Super saiyan stoom trooper. @ Chaplain - Unfortunately, I don't have an IG grenade launcher to hand. They are just a shade larger than the double fuel tank backpack an IG flamer guy has though. @ Forte - Unfortunately, that was me. Dr. Who is not my... specialty. @ Deathspecter - Happy Holidays! @ Kol - I think I know the Tricobalt dealies. Those are missles that make black holes, right? It seems they exist in Voyager, however, so beyond that, I'm clueless ^_^ @ Quixus - Eh, I would have had to hand in my nerd card *long* ago if that was actually a thing. I'm glad there isn't a B.S. in Greater Nerd Sciences that you need a general education in. @ Kol - Haha, yeah. Just like that. I think Forte was just giving me a good-natured hard time. @ Jaspcat - Hi Jasp! Glad you stopped by. I miss your lovely World Eaters. Though the Deathguard are looking aces too! You and Barsabbas should be buddies. @ Quixus - All I need to know about vampires, I learned from Laura Caxton. *BAM* Obscure nerd reference gauntlet thrown DOWN!

Kol Saresk Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 lol no. That was the JJ Abrams with the Red Mass Bombs. The Tricobalts were the next step up from quantum torpedoes. Really big bang. You only see them in the pilot episode and one other episode IIRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Chaplain Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 I learned from Laura Caxton. *BAM* Obscure nerd reference gauntlet thrown DOWN! 99 Coffins by Wellington? Yep geekdom is a fickle, mercurial thing- what clicks with some, doesn't connect with others- creating dazzling, intricate webs across the expanses of the internet. It's how we seek each other out for rousing conversation on websites like this. Embrace our similarities in tastes and strengthen the community and respect our differences and grow as both geeks, and as people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostMalone Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 I've been watching flint ;) it's impressive to say the least, and don't worry the XIVth company of the XIIth legion will be back soon.

Flint13 Posted December 26, 2013 Author Share Posted December 26, 2013 Post Christmas Good Morning! To everyone who survived the holidays, rejoice! @ Kol - See? Voyager. I'm clueless ^_^ @ Chaplain - You sir, are now my honorable nerd arch-nemesis. Good Show. @ Jaspcat - Awesome! I need more World Eater buddies. Thanks for the praise. Ok, for today, let me start by saying I love seeing other folks "Forgeworld Unboxing" photos. Its really neat. I normally refrain from doing it, however. It always made me feel like some chick on youtube doing a Loot video. I often don't even open my order box until the day I decided to work on the minis contained therein. This has lead to some hilarious circumstances of FW sending me a Warpfire Dragon or a entire squad of Sons of Horus by accident, and me blissfully ignorant. But today when I opened up my little bunch of resin dudes, I found something hilarious enough I couldn't help but post it. Apparently, someone at FW knows me *creepily* well, or they are just smoking something (stronger) and got bored. Observe: http://i1290.photobucket.com/albums/b533/Flint1324/PB250001_zps2b93d00a.jpg Let me zoom in a bit. http://i1290.photobucket.com/albums/b533/Flint1324/PB250003_zpse35e0f35.jpg No Nightlords Legion badge as of yet... but still...

The_Chaplain Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 That D&D alignment button is awesome, as is the for the emperor button; and the last one is the dog from adventure time right?

ChaptermasterDemon7 Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 After looking through this thread, I must say I am becoming more and more drawn towards doing a Night Lords warband, but not until I finish my Blood Guardians Second Company. Love the models as well. Keep up the good work. I wont purge the heretics.... Yet ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flint13 Posted December 27, 2013 Author Share Posted December 27, 2013 Gentlemen! I give you (pre-paint) the original intended content of this topic: The Black Jackal command squad http://i1290.photobucket.com/albums/b533/Flint1324/PB260001_zpsc87011c5.jpg The bodyguard of my Praetor have to look the part! http://i1290.photobucket.com/albums/b533/Flint1324/PB260003_zps8fdef3e9.jpg Arrogance is a key selling point of the highborn faction of the 28th. http://i1290.photobucket.com/albums/b533/Flint1324/PB260007_zps9131301c.jpg All of the Black Jackals are former offspring of the ruling houses of Hive Nobility. Where the hillfolk and underhivers are inducted through acts of sheer vicious tenacity and other impressive feats, the Jackals were inducted though wealth and influence of their ruling families. http://i1290.photobucket.com/albums/b533/Flint1324/PB260004_zps6757ee30.jpg That isn't to say they aren't capable, as all must still under go the rigorous, oft-fatal, implantation and training process. Jhadek Redcrow suffers no fools or incompetents, and each of the Jackals are hand picked from the best duelists and fighters of the 28th's uphive bred Astartes. http://i1290.photobucket.com/albums/b533/Flint1324/PB260009_zps3e5bd4ac.jpg The best equipment and armament come with the position. http://i1290.photobucket.com/albums/b533/Flint1324/PB260008_zpseab00076.jpg And to responses! @ Chaplain - Indeed, I think someone at FW has a good sense of humor. @ Deathspecter - They never cease to entertain me, those wacky FW guys ^_^ @ Kol - Sounds about right. It is a tad odder that I have referred to the 28th as "more the Lawful evil of Talos, than the Chaotic evil of Uzas or the Neutral evil of Cyrion," but maybe I'm just reading too much into it? @ Chaptermasterdemon - Glad to see a new face, and to hear you're considering joining the Midnight clad fraternity (and micro-sorority). Bring on the attempted purgin'! That's how we keep ourselves sharp, thin-blood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
