[Megabattle] Custom Model / Datasheet / Idea Approval Thread

[jesterofthedark]

I'm not familiar with the models myself, but since they are GW there is not much I see wrong with their use. 

Of course if size is an issue we won't know till we can get a look at them.  If ya could post a pic or give us a link to get an idea of the model we are dealing with it would be greatly appreciated.  But, as stated before, since they are GW in origin I really can not imagine they would be unacceptable.  Un;ess the painting is terrible and knowing the way you guys go at painting I find that highly unlikely.

I'll work on getting some pics up - haven't got any of them painted yet, but given how much they go for these days you can bet I'll spend some serious time on them. Not liable to see others of their ilk anytime soon!

Looking forward to seeing them, It's been a long while since I laid eyes on those buggers. These waggons used to have the rule that you could transport as many orks as you could fit in them, and then had rules for when models fell off

Can you imagine the meta game on that these days?

Cheers,

Part of the reason I don't play much anymore is because in those days, I found that the WAAC mindset was the exception to the rule.   

My personal record at Ork Balancing for the battlewagons back then was around thirty orks.  Was a heck of a sight, and even worse when I bumped the table immediately afterwards and half my force died from automatic strength 4 hits!

Just a friendly reminder to all of you out there planning on bringing non-forge world or non-gw models.

The mega battle is less than 4 months away so all models still need to be approved, the sooner they are posted the sooner they can be ok'd or suggestions can be made.  This would benifit anyone out there who feels their model is close to what it should look like but maybe not quite there yet.

Give yourselves the time, no one wants to be up at 4 a.m. game day trying to finish painting a model.  That is how rage quits happen.

I was under the impression they happened when...

Eh, low hanging fruit and all that .

I'm disappointed Rich, you kinda just phoned it in at the end of your post.  I just expected more.

sigh....     <---- my emoticon of saddness to you.

Just found out I can't do Megabattle this year, ^%#$%$@% SAT IIs .

[Warpedfuzz]

Hoping I can do the MEgabattle this year. If so I was wondering if my non-GW mini could still be used as my inquisitor and maybe even still use my Valkerie w/ my space marines, like last year? Both were approved last year after much discusion.

A Valkyrie with Space Marines inside?  Hrm.  What sort of Space Marines?

Really skinny ones that are wearing flak armor and use las weaponry.

[jfoodmaster]

Space Marines in a Valkyrie? That's borderline Heresy! The Emperor's chosen won't get in a Valkyrie. They have mighty Thunderhawks....besides, I think they'd bump their heads in the cabin...cuz they're too tall for a Valkyrie....

I love how people sperg over one someone using a valkyrie with space marines, but when every [insert insulting name here]-bag space marine player decides its ok to use baneblades thats completely fine? If this is the case I guess eldar should have infantry platoons, or orks getting chaos land raiders. Why can't anyone just use what is in/for their own codex and be happy? 

As to the valkyrie, why not try converting it to a stormraven or some other space marine fighter ship? Im sure there something simple that could be done to alleviate bitchery. 

[Ian Mulligan]

I fail to see the big deal. Then again, I guess that's why I don't play.

Easy, man. I'm just bein stupid. I am not a -bag Space marine player. I am a fluffy player! NO Baneblades in my army! I adhere strictly to the Codex Astartes. The Salamanders are a first founding Chapter.
