@ceppie – that is exactly what I was talking about. They even have a tracking version that runs like an animal. Not cool. Boston Dynamics have all sorts of scary videos on YT.

That is a brilliant mini. I love the legs. Perfect. 200pts. I like that the sensor is ‘following’ where the trooper is going. Tasty.

Remotes are very useful in Infinity. However, that is all Ariadna really have. The other, more advanced, forces have some really nasty stuff. You can also use them to hack through! Naughty, naughty…very naughty. Some of them can climb walls and have ODD’s. A bit like Predator and makes you -6 to hit. That is pretty bad when you are using a D20.

So, an averge trooper with an assault weapon is BS 13. You are at medium range and in the open…D20 hitting on 13 or less, but +3 for the range and you have 3 shots coming at you. Not good odds. However, ODD gives you a better chance. Add partial cover for another -3. Lethal.

Those bootleg Tau are delicious.

@rayzryr – you have never played Traveller? (almost faints) You have never come across it! It is the end times for sure…

That was Mowgli watching over his garden when I first got him. When his brother dies the woman form Cat Protection rang and asked if I wanted to take another cat to keep Mowgli company. I got Lilli. She had been feral and was about a year old. She used to play with the foxes in the wood opposite my house.

When I moved back home they both just fit in with the other three cats we had at the time. When the local children were heading home from school he would sit on the wall and they would fuss him. He got xmas cards from them!

Lilli would come in first thing in the morning covered in cobwebs/dust and smelling of foxes.

I can show you what he has…

 

We called it “Horn of War”. That is a full-size SM for Dawn of War 2 in the enterance to GW HQ in Nottingham. I did send them a copy, but never got a reply.

The old jokes are the best. I was Special Forces so i’m trained to get in-and-out without anyone noticing…

He was a great uncle, but it is what you learn about people later that changes what you think of them. He was a massive twat and still is according to my mother. He lives alone with some 16 year-old girlfriend…if she is to be believed. When I was younger he really spoiled me. He has three daughters and no boys. You don’t need to be a harsh Freudian to get that one.

I never thought about the make-up angle before! I will ask her when she gets in. When it comes down to it she prefered Dita. 500pts. I used to love buying records. Every saturday morning at 1000hrs Keith and I would head into Newcastle to buy music. Those were dangerous times to show your musical alliances. If you went up the wrong way into the Handyside Arcade, to buy badges, you might have to walk past the Heavy Metal lads who didn’t really like Keith in his Pork-Pie hat and strip glasses or me wearing fingerless fishnet gloves. No wonder I was so good at escape and evasion. No kidding, you could get a punch in the back of the head for having the wrong record in your bag from Virgin. It was a sad day when they made the bags see-through.

The worst crime back then was being ‘square’. That would get you an instant kicking…if you were lucky. Being ‘square’ was wearing badges and/or t-shirt of conflicting genres. I am not joking. When I was on holiday aged 12-13 (my birthday was during our summer holiday) I was stopped by four locals when they noticed I was wearing a Duran Duran badge and a Crass badge. Then they discovered I was not from around there. I was VERY lucky that day. The good old days.

TISM? I’ll work it out. I started young going to see bands. When I was 13 I was offered a ticket to go and see a band. It was Slade and I had 20 minutes to decide. Second best decision I ever made. I always loved music from being really young and my grandfather played the piano very well. This was something else. These guys were firing it at me from 45 feet away and it made me feel like I was going to wet my pants. It was amazing. Still is. I have no idea how many bands I have seen, but I have seen one band 66 times since I was 15. I took Jamie to see his first show just after his 12th birthday – Steel Panther. Then we went to see Rush. I am a great parent!

My Newcastle is a bit less sunny than yours. The north of England…just before Scotland. We live just outside Durham and you can see the famous Cathedral from our bedroom window. I do spend a lot of the time on the banks of Loch Fyne when I need a break from all the noise, but not as much now that I can’t ride my motorbike anymore.

I hope your brother doesn’t put it off too long…than is never a good idea. I’m sure he knows what he is doing. I spend quite a bit of time in hospitals too! I’ll be thinking about him.

What bands do I see in Newcastle? Most of them growing up as back then it was impossible to get to other gigs. Kids these days do not know they are born. My granny used to say that and I thought she was just old, but she was right. Where do I start? Toyah kissed me when I was 13 behind the Mayfair (I skipped school to get an autograph), Bauhaus scared me to death at 13 too as I had to go wearing my school uniform, Stiff Little Fingers, Siouxie and the Banshees, Cure, Smiths, Rage Against the Machine, Damned (loads of times), Gary Numan, and I met Bill Hicks when he played Newcastle Uni student union.

Heaps more. I also sat 6 feet from Tori Amos as she sang ‘Landslide’ by Stevie Nicks. She looked right at me as she played and sang. I could feel myself blushing. It was wonderful. We used to go all over to see bands – any excuse for a road trip. Glasgow is always my favourite ‘other’ venue. We have a friend who has a sort of tribute band, but it isn’t…the Symths Experience. We see them if I am well enough. Brilliant.

I have no real interest in tournament games. I did win our club Blood Bowl tournament in 2009, but that was just a fun thing. I am always wary of playing games with total strangers. Some people get so pissed off when they lose I always worry they will tip the table or try and hit me!

I look forward to seeing what the new game is like too.

No pictures? Strike one.

@biggabum – I have never worn a watch since I was 14 and saw Easy Rider. If you wear a £20000 watch all it shows to me is that you are a dildo with too much money and a tiny champer.

As long as they both keep showing their father how much they love him by buying models…i’m good. For Father’s Day they got me a portable spray-booth. I knew all those beatings would pay off!

Eve just does stuff like that. When they were not at school we used to send them to do voluntary work. They both did it until the were 18+. It was good for both of them.

@horati0nosebl0wer – AWESOME! The green is very striking. 200pts. I love redheads too.

@skiptotheend – the end of the series is perfect. I wouldn’t pull him off either! Have you seen ‘Back’? Very sinister. We sometimes put it on Netflux and just let it run. Heather also watched ‘Fresh Meat’ and I thought it was quite funny.

Have you seen any BBC Scotland stuff?

I think it is on YT, but you have to watch ‘Carry On Screaming’. Jon Pertwee is in it as the mad doctor. The best of the lot. Carry On Camel too as it stars Phil Silvers.

One of my M-E roadside buildings.

Italian? Sopranos? Ah, forget out it. 100pts. I want to see that when you build it. I fancied some of the TTCombat versions for ZombieTV games.

Basically – not allowed! Warning. Prog rules forever. Well, the songs are pretty long!

@oriskany – that is not how they played it! Boring old wankers.

That must be their great-great-great grandfather. Nasty thing that. Must be noisey?
