I'm pretty much not allowed to talk about aesthetics at my FLGS as I have said such out loud... =p <br /><br />Nike & Tom: I'm actually discussing very seriously putting a servo under the Rhino so it will raise up and down... =) With a little midi card that plays "La Cucaracha" <br /><br /><br />CF: Bunny ears- I forgot about that. That's a deterrent for sure! <br /><br />Sons: I like what you're saying. I am just not sure how to accomplish it. Are you talking about bits & parts, or a painting style? Or conversions? <br /><br />DaveG: There was a brief silly conversation about making the hoses on the Dreads orange, pink & yellow. It was very fun, but quickly negated. <br /><br />Really dark reds & greens might do the trick. I'll have to play with a test model & see how it goes.Loquacioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01667591498679385934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-356241226024929790.post-79000646600896331202010-11-09T10:19:21.991-06:002010-11-09T10:19:21.991-06:00Your colour scheme doesn't need any more inten...Your colour scheme doesn't need any more intense or bright... I'd suggest darker colours, maybe charcoal or another deep grey / mud / purple.. or get really dark versions of the colours you're already using. It'll add a nice contrast.Dave Garbehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01557481319925772152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-356241226024929790.post-49579720621711710092010-11-09T09:57:12.014-06:002010-11-09T09:57:12.014-06:00Perhaps not the style of "Mexi" you'...Perhaps not the style of "Mexi" you're going for, but you could do the weapons like these:<br /><br />http://www.luxist.com/2010/05/05/diamond-studded-guns-part-of-mexican-drug-lords-haul/<br /><br /><br />CSM are fun and can be fairly alluring.

Less spikes, horns, metal rims and arrows, more flowing, seals/tabards, sleeker helmets/armor and so forth.sonsoftaurushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08466971377569066201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-356241226024929790.post-14349429409492029012010-11-09T08:51:00.039-06:002010-11-09T08:51:00.039-06:00Not Deamonettes in particular.

I always thought about doing a Fantasy army that uses them and then also using them for a 40K Chaos army.<br /><br />TomAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-356241226024929790.post-62927289037430368382010-11-09T08:30:48.560-06:002010-11-09T08:30:48.560-06:00Time for a racially insensitive joke...

They get almost as many toys, plus in some cases they get better toys (Thunder wolves and Wolf Claws for examples).<br /><br />Conversion opportunities abound for the wolves, plus they are quite strong and the codex provides a lot of good options.Rkikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02841432959251782948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-356241226024929790.post-48999654656151386162010-11-09T08:14:30.559-06:002010-11-09T08:14:30.559-06:00Well, gameplay wise, the CSM are in a bit of a tou...Well, gameplay wise, the CSM are in a bit of a tough spot right now. Sure they get lots of cool daemonic weapons and whatnot but in most competitive spheres their tactics pretty much boil down to Obliterator spam and Lash of submission. That's not to say that they can't do more and are still a very viable army, but they have one power build... and Wolves/Blood Angels do their schtick way better.<br /><br />Speaking of Obliterators, they are ugly. Ugly as sin. And being almost necessary choices in the army... yeesh. Granted I've seen some sweet conversions, but without the work they just look terrible.<br /><br />And if you want to learn about all of the (at least supposed) slights against the Chaos players of eld that is (apparently) the current codex just check out any forum. Guaranteed that every week there will be a new post in the general section about how much they got screwed over.<br /><br />Plus, Chaos is the way of the traitor. If your thoughts do not return to the purity of His Emperor's Angels of Death, I'm sure I can arrange for a Commissar to visit you shortly...Maxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12478821172146809894noreply@blogger.com
