Black Scorpion / Re: Marines

OK, not knowing much about the history of he marines or royal marines, I'll chip in with what I do know!!

As keeper points out the paint has gone shiny, despite a coat of matt varnish so I'm rather annoyed at my efforts this weekend. Thankfully I completed something decent last night.

I probably forgot to say that if you shake your can of varnish *really* well - Toosh recommended to be until my arm is ready to fall off - then re-varnish, they should come out just fine and matt. This usually happens because the varnish is not mixed properly and you're not spraying out enough of the "matt-ness". Please excuse the technical phrasing

Ah, now SMF (whatever that is) cannot connect to the database. I suppose that's a sort of improvement if something's changed.

Just a quick answer, in case you didn't know...

SMF - "Simple Machines Forum" - is the software the Custom Hobby (amongst others [sic]) uses for his forum. If the software cannot connect to the database, then as gi6ers says:

Well, ive just had my 3.5 rulebooks come through the postbox (only ever played like half a session before so im a bit of a newb). Once im done learning that though ill probably give 4E a shot. A lot of people seem to like first edition but after reading the wiki it seems that would be a bit alien to me. Since all my expereience comes from playing BG, IWD etc with THAC0 and whatnot.

Depends if you like tables and alignment languages

The random dungeon generator has never been surpassed ... *disappears in a puff of nostalgia *

No base is fine by me, just as long as you release her.

Also, it's been bugging me for ages who the monk reminds me of, and i've finally figured it out... He reminds me of the guy in the golden helmet from an old Sinbad movie staring Tom Baker.

Now you've said that, Tasker, he remind's me of Tom Baker's Rasputin in the file Nicholas and Alexandra.

Try livin' Stateside and being a mini-Anglophile, strung-out-addicted Heretic!! piss weak American dollar, economy takin' a nosedive, and metal prices throught the roof.

Singin' the blues. Sigh.

Try to take comfort in the fact that I as a Brit, I can now afford a couple of Dark Sword minis, if I want!

Unless I've got a particular gaming need, I'm far more likely to buy from Dark Sword than from Foundry.

It was great to say we watched the eventual super bowl winners that season. I wonder if the visit to the U.K will do the same for one of this years teams.

It is a bit of a upside/downside moment - If you win in London, you can win the Superbowl. If you lose ... well, you get the 1st round draft pick, at least

We're only playing in the last pre-season game, at the end of August. You have to get to the superbowl again, if you want to meet us, there

Announcements and News / Re: 12 sets of CAD guns!

« on: June 06, 2008, 02:05:58 PM »

Those are brilliant, Sally

I've only three comments, and all of them are website related!

1) #7 doesn't seem to be listed for sale? Is that right?
2) It doesn't seem to be clear from the subcategory page how many of each you're buying?
3) #11 seems to have the picture twice: here

But the guns look really, really, really good!!! And four of the bigger guns for £1.50 seems excellent!!

the not scobbys and the gang are great, you still need to work on the eyes though.

I agree. Except for Wolsey, where googly eyes seem appropriate, somehow

Bigger irises, grek!

Most people's irises do not have white all around - use a mirror for reference to see what I mean

Stuff like this can be used in so many ways. Pulp, Darkest Africa. Any plans to create little "fillers" like this for yourself?

Do you think AP will make 2000 yards this year? I think that will be a bit ambitious unless he's looking to pick up another injury!

But as for going all the way - no chance! The Pats are obviously going to have another Perfect Seasons

Well, my mate applied but we haven't heard anything yet!

We're guessing that we might not get any this year, as we had to admit we went last year when we applied - but we've not given up hope, yet!

Still, if the rumours of the Chargers being interested in Jason Taylor are true, at least he might get to be there two years in a row

The Chargers haven't really done much trading this off season, but then they were pretty good last year
