Tabletop Warhammer?

[JHeaton]

Will do, cheers.

Not mandrakes! Mine where a complete fail!

Total Wargamer - order made 10th March, dispatched today! Let's see how long postage now takes...

Dark Eldar list done This should be interesting.

I'm having 80s/90s flashbacks. I had no idea this was still popular? still lead figures? Gene stealers, Dreadnoughts? Blood Angels?

I remember all the magazines with the cool scenery of Blood Angels armies and tanks and so on...

That was quick. I haven't even picked a HQ yet!

Ultramarines are the poster boys now

Not lead, either plastic or resin. Other than that, still the same universe.

Well Haemonculi is an easy choice

 

[clartymarty]

Lightning not great but my next WiP more photos to follow tonight.

Also can you use the Chaos Chosen as troop choices? Battlescribe says I can but I cant see anything in the codex to say I can.

 

[Shamikebab]

There is probably a character that lets you take them as troops, Abaddon maybe?

 

[JHeaton]

It is Abaddon.

So, last night I finished Horus Rising (Dan Abnett) and started False Gods (Graham McNeill), only on the second chapter but I much prefer Abnetts style so far.

Horus Rising would make for such an epic film, especially the last 2 chapters with the interex(?). Shame no studio would ever do it justice.

 

[Shamikebab]

Yeah Horus Heresy would be an amazing film series, never get the funding though.

Is this your first time reading? You've got quite a series ahead of you

I can't wait for Vulkan's book.

 

[Gooner Leroy]

The first three books of the HH series would make an awesome movie trilogy. If I ever become a billionaire, I will fund a series of HH or 40k films

I remember years and years ago, work had started on a live action 40k film. Early 90s AFAIK. Probably a good thing that didn't go ahead

 

[lordhughes]

Yeah first time I have ever ventured properly into the lore of 40k, Going to aim for 1 book a week should be doable as they are not long.

 

[Shamikebab]

There's a good Warhammer books thread in the music, books and tv forum (mostly me and Newts!)

The main problem with Black Library books is they actually release books I want to read....faster than I can read them. I'd have to give up reading anything else to keep up!

Filmwise it needs to be animated/CGI really, the budget for live action would be obscene. Basically pay whoever made the Dawn of War intros to make a full film in that style

 

[Gooner Leroy]

Yes! agree. DoW intros are amazing. I found Ultramarines a big let down, probably due to the fact of how excited I was. The CGI I thought was poor although I still enjoyed it because of it being from the 40K universe.

I'm still going to hold out for a live action movie

 

[lordhughes]

this looks quite promising http://thelordinquisitor.com/ if it ever gets finished that i.

But yeah a decent CGI film would be awesome, I watched that ultra marines film ... I would advice no one watched it. just awful!

 

[Shamikebab]

I haven't watched it, simply because it looks like a PS1 game.

 

[aceytrixx]

The ultramarines movie makes me sad on many levels.

 

[JHeaton]

The Lord Inquisitor looks amazing. If I remember rightly, a lot of the work (certainly in the initial stages) was done by a single person and looks way better than the Ultramarines movie did.

I hope the weather improves either today or tomorrow. I need decent conditions to spray my Stryker model outdoors so that I can paint him soon.
