| The new Space Marine Codex from GW has a map of the galaxy near the back. For the first time I know of, the map spells out chapter locations for a lot of the main (from GW's point of view) chapters. There is also a lot of 'fluff' about the Crimson Fist's near elimination, and rebuilding ... |

I had to be away for a few days, but thanks for the reply. Going to download and dig into right away. I will drop a word (or a hundred) soon as I get into the meat of it.
Thanks(squared), G.F. |

| For our gaming out here, we are all at a handicap. The ONLY battleship ever available was 'Gorbag's Revenge' at any hobby store within 200 miles. Because of this fact, only rarely has someone attempted to use one as a different persona. For myself, I have four of them now. I ... |

| Nice work, and I,m glad you said something about the lances. When you were advised to cut them off, because they're antennas, I had a sudden attack of ignorance. I was sure I even saw a GW illustration with those "antennas" firing off a broadside. I just finished pai... |

wow! Was I wrong! I guessed a max of two hours. So much for guessing. Are you fellows going to have a rematch? With similar forces I mean. Could also prove interesting. Maybe give the AdMec a shot at revenge?
Either way, something new, or retried, will be fun.

A bunch of photos and such have been deleted? I feel robbed!
Anyway, thanks for the info, and answers. I hope there will be some photos, and graphics back up soon.
Later,

| How long did the game take? Sounded kinda short. Violent, brutal and bloody is just fine, but I got the impression there was not much 'intervening terrain' to block lines of fire, and so draw out the game. A wide open space isn't supposed to be popular with Orks, normally. Ju... |

| You'll have a good sized selection to choose from, for sure. Do you think you might 'double-up' on any class(s) in the future? Variations in the paint job (little ones) can actually draw attention to the details. Plus, in playing the game, I sometimes like having extra hitting power in one are... |

| I have a very large Ork fleet already. I am also guilty of influencing others to get into Orks. Not everyone likes the 'face' or 'fish head' look, and used filler putty to get a different look for their ships. I think that your design is cool. But honestly, I think they could... |

| Well T.R.Chris, I presume "the whole hog" is not serious. And I wondered if "Fuzzy-Wuzzy-Principle" might have a different spin across the pond. In USA, 'fuzzy wuzzy...' is cute phrase a female would start in on when confronted by a new puppy or kitten, usually in a high pitched ... |

Will this be all in your IN? Or are you going to add a vessel now and again? Perhaps some dedicated supply vessel?
Looks good ......... I have to say I like your choice of colors.....and the photography!

| I like the way you have planned out your project. I believe it is fair to say most of us have a plan in our head, not on paper, when we build something new. I will have to work out a plan for my next project (Another battlestation), with a schematic. The friend I'm building it for ... |
