MaxMini

Following on from yesterday's post, decided I would take a look at another third party producer of conversion bitz and other interested things. So today we will take a look at MaxMini...

AA Turret Platform - This would be an alternative to the Quad-Gun in the Aegis Defence Line when doing conversions for Hydra Flak Tank or Mortis Pattern Dreadnoughts. It costs 35.64 USD

Scibor's Monstrous

I'm sure we have all seen one of Scibor's Monstrous Miniatures. They can be seen all over forums like here and here. If you are terrified of being infected by forumitis or dakkaitis and haven't seen these miniature yet, then here is your chance. I am going to take a look at some of the miniatures that have caught my attention...

Moscal Shaman - This guy would fit nicely in a Genesteal Cult themed army. Or could use him as a Chaos Sorcerer. He costs 7.00 USD

Reality aplodes

I think that the equation is switched. Codexes become popular, then they become powerful. Not the other way around. With more minds blogging, posting, and playing games, the lists that win come out more. So If more players like Wolves, Guard, and BAngels, they will have a higher publicity. Then, people copy the lists.

- Dobie Gillis from this discussion on YTTH

The above quote hasn't been included because I agree with it... I actually disagree. Mainly because of the terms used and interwebz quality of writing. But, it hits on something that I do agree with. The three most powerful codices may not be as unbalanced as perceived by the majority. In reality their consistent placing in tournaments may also reflect the skills of the participants AND the consistent attendance of certain lists.

Edit - An interesting forum discussion that also discusses Codex Creep...

Spotlight: Pandemic

This week has gone by fast. Feels like it was only yesterday that I sat down to write the last Spotlight post. Damn exams sucking the life out of everything. Anyway, this week looks at Svartmetall's Death Guard over on RelicNews. To be perfectly honest I have no idea how I came across these disgustingly good worshippers of Nurgle... but in a sick and twisted way I'm glad that I did.

Would you believe that this conversion is back from when he first started the army, which is also when he got into 40K. They only get better from here.

Golden Demon Around the World 2010

Golden Demon Australia 2010 is on today. And as much as I would enjoy going in to the Sydney Bunker to take a look I won't be able to attended. Instead I will be waking up at an ungodly hour so that I can go to an exam... that's right an exam on Saturday in the wee hours of the morning. I ducking hate UWS.

I digress, a few weeks ago I was directed to this page on the Games Workshop Website. It shows off a collection of miniatures from Golden Demon miniatures from around the world. Below are a collection of miniatures that I particularly liked...

On a slightly unrelated topic is this announcement by Oz Games Workshop. I'm curious to find out what it is... might be able to drop by in time. But I doubt it.
