Robots don't need heads!

Hmmmm....looks bolloxed without it mate!

Anyway, looking forward to meeting the chaps on Sunday. If I have to spend the day dodging long range fire in order to get close enough to use my pistols, have at it!

Put a spare human head on there and you can have a cyborg.

Yes...Saturn Five especially? Tbh, if I could find my bitsbox, I’ve lots of heads, including mechanicus ones....but I can’t because it’s at the bottom of my garage!

Well the accountants obviously ordered the robot with 10% off!

I too am looking forward to Sunday. I have done your new stats,
but for all that it will mean to you (without the rules) I might as well
wait to explain it on Sunday.

No problem....we can discuss over a cup of tea...

I’m sure the guys will be posting a thread with pics from th3 game but really enjoyed playing and meeting all, thanks!

The accountants never came close to fulfilling any objectives but did end up in vicious little firefight and acquitted themselves reasonably.

Oh, and as discussed, here’s a link to some of my 40k stuff of old.

Nice. Especially like the 4 wheeled armoured car.

Cheers, I made two and often wish I’d done a cast of those....would have been quite easy too.

One vehicle I did invent and cast up numerous times was this one, the BOAR, painted by Ash here.

Useful as an artillery tractor, especially as GW don’t produce any logistics vehicles.

Huzzah! The robot head arrived! I can get him ready for next year now! Lol

I mentioned these tents in another thread, and I’ve been asked how they were constructed.

Fairly easy.

Take half a Pringles tube, make a couple of false ends from card. In my case I wanted it look sci-fi so I added door and filters etc. Glue over string at regular intervals. Then simply wrap the whole thing in a good quality tissue ( three ply?) and soak in watered down pva. It drys overnight and will provide a nice wrinkle effect in the fabric. Prime and paint.

I’ve added “windows” and rolled up covers for more detail. Simples....

Like the BOAR almost as much as the A/car.
Maybe I've seen too many episodes of M.A.S.H., but I half
expect one of the tents to have a board outside saying, 'The Swamp'.

I know what you mean.....and I never did get round to making the hospital tent...

Yup, the useful little BOAR is a good platform for anti aircraft, rocket launcher, troop carrier etc too and has been used for them all. Something satisfying about making your own stuff or rather kitbashing others.

Great thread

That BOAR is fantastic (as are the other vehicles and tents). You said you made casts of them. Are they available for sale?
