Blog Entries: 2    |  Forgeworld ruins lives So... googling around for some info on Tau troops, i ran across this: http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/40kmanta2.htm :| 30 minutes of my live just went *poof* so did my reasoning power... Now i have to find something else to keep me busy because if i don`t get this, and that whole site, out of my head, i`ll do stupid things... really stupid things... How can people take advantage of ones weaknesses in such a cruel way?! Cheers! i`m off doeing something as unrelated to warhammer, miniatures (and any other Sci-Fi fluff) as posible.

| y would u spend money on models you arent even going to take the time to BUILD!!! send em to me why dont you....jeez. that guy with the lip ring is kinda...*cough cough*...erm...yea.... and as for the manta, its a giant model that can carry alot of stuff, with some guns. thats pretty much it. its not that great. shelling out around $1200 for what amounts to 3 thunderhawks. it would make a great centerpeice for a display thing though, but it doesnt look very useful otherwise. if you were going to get a tau aircraft, i would go for the tiger shark intead of that. |

| yeah, i have like 30 unbuilt marines from my incomplete marine army, i also have an unbuilt Land Raider i got a xmas about 5 years ago now. I also have around 40unbuilt IG atm, but they are definatly to be built and used asap - along with the Cities of Death buildings stuff that i have - though i have made two buildings so far and have plenty of extras bits and modeling materials so that i'm not wasting £15 on just one building

Honestly, the only place where I can afford Forge World merchandise is in my dreams. Granted, I have at least $80 of unconstructed models sitting at my worktable. That may not sound like much, but when you're 13 years old and pay for everything out of pocket, $80 is like godsend...

talk about a helluv-an army dispaly base! (mind you, the guy's absolutely nuts about anything and everythin tau!!!) however, how many of you guys, like me, want that imperial palace set?! (you know, the one where a baneblade can fit through the front doors and space marines look like little tiny black specks!  )as tony cottrel (sp?) stated during the seminar, "this is one for all you wealthy people and also those of you who no longer feel the need for your wife/girlfriend!" maybe after wednesday night's lottery draws my dreams will come true?! though i honestly hate to think just how much unbuilt stuff i have... it's sad really to think that my bedroom has become more of a 'bitz room'! cheers!

Blog Entries: 1 | *Drools* I REALLY want that, but never in a million years could I afford it  I'll stick with Titans and Thunderhawks thank you, just so my debts don't make me kill myself.

| my ultiment goal is to own a baneblade and paint it up in inquisition colours! (considering they technically *can* get anything they want )mind you, i believe it's the shadowsword that has the heavy flamer sponsons?! that would definately be more in keeping with the inquisition's prediliction for burning things it doesn't like! either way, when we finally get astro nottingham set, i'm gettin' me a BRB (Big Red Battletank!)cheers!

the other great thing about owning a baneblade/shadowsword - i can run the "sink the baneblade" senario! (it's absolute chaos - trust me!) as for the greater daemons, i'm awaiting the lord of change coming out next year! cheers!

| judging by the work in progress shots from warseer way back when, the death riders themselves are without doubt the best models in the entire line! i wouldn't be surprised if we soon see the death riders become the standard used by most veteran guard players cheers!
