WH40K Baneblade! - For Da Captain -
« on: March 28, 2012, 01:42:55 PM »
Heh

I could not resist doing this post, especially since its actually a true story. Some friends of mine play the game WH40K by Games Workshop. I dont. However, they really want me involved in this, and knowing of my fetish for german WWII panzers, they went ahead and bought me a WH40K Baneblade, a huge monster of a plastic tank for that game.
When I opend the box, I emediatly spotted a loose arm with a saber in its hand, and went... "Oh shiny, that is a pirate arm, and I have seen the perfect miniature for it". I suspected that I had the miniature somewhere in the lead pile, and sure enough there it was, a Heresy Miniatures Barbarian Hero.
Some hours later with scalpel and various files the pirate was ready for painting, I removed all non piraty bits and had to remodel his trousers and some other parts a bit, but thats all part of the hobby I say.
When I had painted it (I havent actually painted much miniatures the past years due to various reasons), I just know I had to make a post to stir the good Captain a bit :D



He will serve as a pirate and adventurer, perhaps starting out his own warband in the future!

Hehe, thank you, and yes, the potential to pull the good captain's leg was too great to ignore! :)

Totally seamless joint, nice piraty trousers and an excellent paint job. Beautiful!

£61.50 for a 28mm plastic arm seems reasonable, especially if someone else is paying for it.

Nice backstory but that pirates got Moobs! (man boobs!). Not a good look for the pirate know as Billy Big Tit's Silvermane. Big breasted scurge of the south seas!

Well painted. Just ignore the chesticles. Given time enough with sword training should take care of them.

This might come as a big surprise to many of you wargamers, but young men that hang out in a very odd and mysterious place called the "Gym", might actually end up looking like this =P
