Take telion if your going to buy scout snipers, hes worth the 50 points PLUS he calls his own shots. As for painting ill link you to a friend of mine on SA forums who does pay for models and his work is steller
Thats his running tally and his works that he has finished altmann. Put it this way, when he lived here he was teaching me how to paint and every time i finsihed something hed have something that i would go "god damnit i hate you"
re: ratlings - 5 of the snipers I use today will be ratling models in hopes of achieving good sniper karma.

The following people are amazing and I love them: Wildcat, Timspork, Kias, Denada, susan, Sharp101, [GHSC]Ryctor, Matev, Matrias, ItBurns, Slapnuts, Dayspring, see317, and the unknown poster that sent me a box of Death Company! If you get them as Santees you should buy them amazing things!
Just FYI I will now be accepting lot requests on the Imperial Guard. For those of you that contacted me about individual units I will be contacting you today, but I will now break that up into lots. Any sized lots will be considered, larger the lot the deeper the discount I go.

Nax ive had good success with telion and a HB with hellfire shells, if its more cost effective to hit a bunch of guys then you can give the HB telions BS of 6 so your scatter is minimal.

The model on the left and right are titans that were custom built for me.
Is it bad I'm writing my OWN SpaceWolf army builder in Excel?
Scurvy, you talking about PaintVagrant? Are you on the SA forums?
Why would it be?
I used Excel for some time before picking up AB

Yep, i am i know him personally been friends with him since highschool. His fucking work is incredible. Oh and ya im on the SA forums, i usually only post in the tales of goon gamers thread and the new one they are starting of just cool painting shots.
He does whole armies, if you look on that post he gives ageneral structure. His prices are pretty good for the work he does, if you get something in omega you really get what you pay for, scan that link all of those are finished products.
The idea of getting a professional to paint up my space hulk box is actually surprisingly tempting.

Hmmm decision time. The Sergeants in the Elysian infantry squads don't have laspistols, they have lasguns with under slung grenade launchers. Do I figure out a way to convert them to have pistols, or do I just leave them with their lasguns and paint them very noticeably as sergeants?
since i can pimp my friends start up business, ill say check out the link paintvagrant does amazing work, and i know hes been looking to paint those BA models.

Paint them noticeably, or just slap a holster on them somewhere. When the models GW provides don't conform to what they state basic equipment is, I don't really see why you need to go the extra mile to make them fit exactly to standards.

Anyone know how much decently painted Space Hulk sets are going for? I still haven't started painting up my 'ebay' set yet, wondering if I should bother trying to (eventually) sell it or just give it to a friend for his birthday.

I third that, besides what self respecting sargent drops into enemy territory without a rifle. It makes more fluff sense for them to be equiped for the long haul.
Do these sets actually sell at these prices? If so, I need to get painting....
-edit-
Jesus Christ they do. I found two completed sales from the same guy as the second listing there, and both sold for just under $900 with 8-11 bids.
I'm also seeing plenty of individual terminators going for $30-$100 each.
Daaamn
Looking over ebay, apparently there are a lot more stupid people out there than I thought. Seriously, how brain damaged to do you to say, 'I can spend $100 on one figure, or $100 on the whole set. Hmmm...'
The $800 one has 8 bids with 5 days left. Holy sh!t.
Yeah, I've got to get painting my sets. My store still has a a handful of copies, so if I can get one of these sets painted and sold for a fraction of what this guy is getting for them, I'll pick up another one or two and get painting.
that model is the worst assembly I've ever had to do....

So, read up on the Tyranid rumors on BoLS. Nothing too outlandish, and most stuff seems like good ideas.
I must have read the wrong thread, as the one I saw ended with some shnozzle saying that as long as you put your models on the second floor of a structure, most of the 'Nid infantry can't assault them

Actually it's not most 'nid infantry, it's just hormagaunts. Hormagaunts are beasts, and IIRC, beasts don't go up stairs, or something. It's in the BRB somewhere.
Nothing in the Beast & Cavalry section states this. In fact, after explaining how they move 12" and double distance rolled through terrain, it says:
"Otherwise, they assault just like infantry"
if Walkers can move up levels in a building, I don't see any reasons why dudes on horses, attack dogs, and crazy attack aliens can't

Because the rules say they can't. Look in the terrain section about buildings and moving up levels. It's around there somewhere iirc. Also tells you that sorry, no, bikes can't climb to the upper floors of ruins either.

You know, I want to tell jungle cats that too.

Looks like I'll be keeping them stock. That will cut down on the modifications I already have to make to create the six Melta gunners I need.
