Hey All,

Been a long time but finished my exams last week after a 12month gruelling 6mm-less period :(

Anyway, moving on I'd like to start with a startling "what the hell is this mini" picture.

Then, seeing as I've got so much stuff to start on I would love people to ask for me to start work on anything they'd like to see done. I've got a lot of stuff from most armies except Tau and my Eldar is only medium strong (e.g. I have cool minis for the paint and not much in the way of troops)

Also, could one of you lovely "in the zone" link me to a list of stuff that people here at tacccomm are producing?

So, without further ado;

WHAT THE HELL IS THIS??? TAKE ONE

I see. So is it basically a good looking mini for space marine mole mortar? Interesting...

IUnboxing some sprues has lead me to decided that one of my first projects will be a legion of inquisitorial dreadnoughts and the completion of my elysian drop troops w/bikes and sentinel legion.

What are these worth?

The Eldar Dreadnoughts?
For a trade or selling not much
since there are some nice metal models around

I would quite like to see some up-to-date Eldar dreadnought design though, but sadly I doubt Grandma Wendy has anything in store for us on that front.

Correct, it's a Marine Mole Mortar from the Adeptus Titanicus era.

Yes it an SM1/AT vintage Marine Mortar. In this pic of some of my SMs, you can see 2 detachments of them ... along with the same vintage Thud Gun, Rapier and Taratula ... Image And in the "silly" lore of G/W, the Mole Mortar fired a round underground. Not like a standard mortar, that fires is rounds thru the air. Hence the name "Mole Mortar" ... ;D

Was it not intended to kill Mole-Men?

I thought they were made by moles? By the million on the cheap in special underground sweat-hills?

A underground mortar is a little silly, but then a lot in W40k kina is. At least the updated background in the FW Vraksian books (where it sees use in an underground tunnel war) has the rounds using powerfields to cut through the earth rather than mechanics.

Welcome back Hotwire :)

Yes, the round would bore underground and explode under the target ... :-\ ::)

Well, the imperial tunnelers and such were in the similar fashion. Even imagining a beast as large as a trygon digging fast enough for this ability to be of any use outside of a siege is quite crazy.

But I always thought Wh40K was probably the universe where such stuff would be the most acceptable. I mean, what about genetically engineered fanatic monks warrior wielding giant chainsaws and man portable repeating rocket launcher, encased in an armor including its own fusion reactor ?

Nice old school army!

Gotta love the rhinos with lasguns ;D

Post subject:  Re: Back - And this is my new thread
these rhino tank destroyer were called "sabre", IIRC. I remember an article in WD by Tony Cotrell explaining how to build those in wh40K. I'm not even sure he was officially working for Grandma Wendy at that time.
