Warhammer 40,000 Week (January 17th-24th)

[Emperor Ing]

In the 41st millenia there is only lulz

as part of the celebration of Giantitp's 40,000th member and as a request imported from the associated thread, I have personally take it upon myself to pull up the thread.

Basically, all that goes on is that for the week, you activate Warhammer 40k-themed avatars and we could possibly do some RPing in this thread. You can also make avatar requests to interested parties.

Questions? Comments? Critique?

[EleventhHour]

Question!

...isn't ON FIRE week going on at the same time? :smalltongue:

[Mr. Mud]

If so, I suggest we do WH40K week from Dec 17-24. Or something like that. Maybe even over Christmas?

[Emperor Ing]

...isn't ON FIRE week going on at the same time? :smalltongue:

Well the thread seems to be buried in the 3-4th page, but our days are a day apart, therefore they are not going on at the same time! :smalltongue:

I can probably bump it up 2 or 3 weeks, but i'd like to gauge interest first.

[starwoof]

I'm way ahead of ya. :smallwink: January 3rd seems so far away.

[Icewalker]

Sounds good to me, but yeah, make sure it doesn't overlap with On Fire week.

I definitely know what I want for mine. Keeping in theme with my Aviary books. The Imperial Regiment are semi-inspired by Warhammer 40k, so I may need to get one of them. Or the Crow, he's probably the closest thing to a space marine you'll find in Aviary, which is remarkably close considering that it's Victorian science fiction.

[Emperor Ing]

....or you can just request a steampunk space marine. :smalltongue:

[Icewalker]

Yeah, they're pretty much that. It's specific to my book though, which my current and hopefully most if not all future avatars will be from.

[Solaris]

The Emperor approves.
Now I gotta rustle me up a WH40k avatar and to eradicate the Xeno.

[Crimmy]

....or you can just request a steampunk space marine. :smalltongue:

I accept the motion of this avatar week, as long as Rand here makes me an avatar ('Cause I suck at Warhammer 40K avatars).

[golentan]

Well, as a filthy Xeno, maybe I could warhammer myself up a bit. Standing over a pile of dead space marines, beating on some elder god.

It would be just like old times! I'll go get the crisco!

[Emperor Ing]

I accept the motion of this avatar week, as long as Rand here makes me an avatar ('Cause I suck at Warhammer 40K avatars).

It's hard for me to take requests without details, so...details plz?

[Crimmy]

Oooh, I'll find something suitable.
Just keep in mind it has to have something Magick-y, and something crimson-y too.

Well, I think I just found what I want...
I'd like the Keeper of Secrets, only with a crimson colour theme.

And the obligated reference pic:

Note: If you could add fire in there, it would be appreciated, but it's not necessary.

[Emperor Ing]

ooh, a reference picture, even better! :smallbiggrin:

I should be able to do this, expect it sometime tomorrow.

Just FYI, you might find that taking over the known universe might not be as easy as you thought.

[Maximum Zersk]

Oooh! Good idea. I've never played Warhammer 40k, but I've recently gotten interested in it.

Well, I'm going to have to make an avvie, then.

And question! Can it be a Warhammer 40k Month instead of Week?

[Selrahc]

Well I've had the same avatar my entire time here, but if someone was willing to do a winged juggernaut of Khorne I think I'd be willing to make a shift for 40k week. Possibly one that looks more like a hippo than a rhino? Riderless as well.

[Vulkan]

I miss gamesworkshop D: (Mass resident)

:smallbiggrin: But that's why I have Vassal
Blood Angels rock! (Despite ...Kind of crappy codex)

[Zincorium]

Oh, nifty.

I actually just played my first match last night. And lost horribly to someone who had also never played before. Of course, the differing point totals in the Assault on black reach set might explain that (why exactly do the orks have almost no weaponry usable against a dreadnought, while the marines get a flamer and rocket launcher? It's rather unbalanced).

One of these days I'll actually finish assembling and painting the fairly large Chaos space marine and much smaller Tau armies I've collected and I can stop messing about with the unpainted black reach set. Fortunately, I've already found another friend who hasn't played, and the orks interest him...

[SurlySeraph]

Well, I'd love to have an Inquisitor avatar based on my Old Surly avatar.

http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c306/drKarling/OotS/SurlySeraph.png

Combined with

http://www.ironhalo.net/Images/40k/gideon01.jpg

I'd say keeping the axe in his off-hand, keeping relatively simple armor, but gaining the awesome hat would be best.

[Maximum Zersk]

@ Above - Inquisitor... By any chance do you know The Inquisitor? :smalltongue:

[Emperor Ing]

'ey! Crimmy! I'm done, took me like over 2 hours but damnit its done.
http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/ll246/EmperorIng/slaaneshi.png

Questions? Comments? Critique? Changes?

[Crimmy]

It's awesome.
The only thing could be thicker lines. Not much, just a bit.
Other than that, it's great!

[charl]

Already there, but we absolutely need a week for the theme.

[Emperor Ing]

Thicker lines? K, done. Took me about 30 seconds. :smalltongue:

[Crimmy]

No changes, just awesomeness in the rough.
Questions are not needed for such a sight.
And this is, indeed, something I would use on the Warhammer 40K Week.

[Maximum Zersk]

Hey guys, what do you think of my Space Marine Kitteh? :smalltongue:

[Emperor Ing]

Hey guys, what do you think of my Space Marine Kitteh? :smalltongue:

HERESY!! *BLAM BLAM BLAM BLAM BLAM*

[Ninja Chocobo]

HERESY!! *BLAM BLAM BLAM BLAM BLAM*

I shouldn't think so. There's already the established Space Wolves chapter.

[Maximum Zersk]

HERESY!! *BLAM BLAM BLAM BLAM BLAM*

*BLAM BLAM*

Dreadnought!

*BLAMABLAMABLAM* :smallamused:

[Emperor Ing]

Your steel cage is no match for me!
*tips over*

[Maximum Zersk]

:smalltongue:

But honestly, there's nothing wrong with the Adeptus Felinus!

[Emperor Ing]

Suffer not the furry to live. :P
This could turn into a flame war fast
But onto a different topic, hey look! I'm dual wielding storm bolters AND chainfists! :smallbiggrin:

[Maximum Zersk]

I'm not a furry though. I was thinking of a way to make my avvie more Warhammer 40k-like, and this is how it turned out. :P

Duuuuuuuuude!!!!

Awesome! But how would you use the gun? Hand-shaped chainfists? Telekinesis? Mutant Cheese?

Booze Marines!

[arguskos]

I am totally down for this, but I'd need my Graz'zt/Iggwilv avatar to be 40k'd. Perhaps if Graz'zt was given the C'Tan treatment, and Iggwilv was a Farseer or somesuch?

[Ninja Chocobo]

Suffer not the furry to live. :P

Again, Space Wolves.

[charl]

Again, Space Wolves.

Which my avatar has absolutely nothing to do with, at all. No siree, no violation of intellectual property here. None at all.

[golentan]

So, got my avy ready.

Don't let them know, the knowledge would only depress them.

[Emperor Ing]

Again, Space Wolves.
The Space Wolves legion tends to be more characteristic of Vikings, so in essence, they are more like Space Vikings (with wolf fangs) than Space Furries, which they have turned out to not be at all. :P

[Emperor Ing]

Anyways, I made this for myself.
http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/ll246/EmperorIng/Chainfisted-1.png
I added a chainsword bayonet to my storm bolters just to prove that I ain't messin' around here.

[golentan]

Here's a blown up version of what I've got.

http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs50/f/2009/340/9/a/40K_avy_by_golentan.png

I've also got a space marine template from the waste up that I used here, if anyone wants. It's not that good, but for my second work in under an hour, I'm satisfied.

Edit: Never mind, evidently I managed to delete the template right after completion. So, I don't have it. I am now sad.

[Emperor Ing]

UPDATE: 40k week has been bumped up 2 weeks to make room for ON FIRE!! week. (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=131389) See thread title for new date.

[Maximum Zersk]

Okay, then.:smallmad::smalltongue:

[Icewalker]

Alright, well let me throw together a full description of the Crow, plus each of the four soldier-castes of the Imperial Regiment.

I would love to get the Crow done. If somebody wants to do a member of the Regiment instead, or more than one in banner form, or, if you want to be crazy awesome, a banner of the Crow fighting a unit of the Imperial Regiment (one of each of the soldier-castes).

All equipment is black plus some measure of motif (OPTIONAL, because the equipment will be small in avatar form). For example, the storm pistols are heavy black pistols with a lightning bolt motif running along the barrel, or however else you care to express it, it's quite open to interpretation.

The Crow:
A very tall man completely covered by black full plate armor, and with a large black cloak/cape pinned to the center of the chest. His helmet/mask is rather birdlike. Attached to his belt are a couple of grenades (flame-motif). In hand is one huge pistol with a lightning motif. Long barrel and heavy, but still a one-handed pistol. In the other hand is a vicious sledgehammer with a stone motif.

The Imperial Regiment:

The Earthquake: Full black plate rather jagged looking (pointy, but like stone crags, not evil curving spikes) plate armor with seams running throughout. He is wielding in both hands a vicious sledgehammer with a stone motif.

The Wildfire: Full black plate with a small amount of smoke rising from it in spots, especially the hands. A couple of fire-motif grenades, and a pair of fire-motif short swords with sheaths. A heavy flame-motif gatling gun in hand.

The Thunderstorm: Extremely heavy and thick black full plate, basically power armor, albeit perhaps a little less huge than WH40K's. Hooked up into the armor on the side is a legitimate cannon, like a ship's 9-pounder cannon barrel (http://static.panoramio.com/photos/original/17604309.jpg) (it can be smaller than that). In hand is a huge pistol with a lightning motif, heavy with a long barrel.

The Hurricane: Slightly thinner but still black full plate, with streaks of some lighter gray metal running through it. Heavy sniper crossbow with wind/hurricane motif and a spear slung over the back.

[Maximum Zersk]

...or, if you want to be crazy awesome, a banner of the Crow fighting a unit of the Imperial Regiment (one of each of the soldier-castes).
...


Called it! :smalltongue:

[Icewalker]

As in you're going to do it, or just that it's awesome? Regardless, thank you very much, especially if it's the first one. :smallbiggrin:

[Emperor Ing]

Crow sounds like a Deathwatch marine with beakie helmet. :smalltongue:

[Gorgondantess]

Hmmm... now this one is interesting. I've always thought my Dread Cthulhu avatar needed to be a bit more... grimdark. Any takers?:smallcool:

[Inhuman Bot]

Done.

Cthulhu, with a few mods, would work quite well as a slaaneshi daemon. Lemme have a crack at it.

And now I away to GIMP to figure out how to make my dignified Victorian gentleman into a worshipper of the great Chaos Gods. Or possibly an Inquisitor.

[golentan]

You should totally make him an inquisitor, but keep the victorian feel, and give him a pipe. "Elementary."

Sorry, I'll stop giving bad literary advice now.

[largertyler]

I'd like to join in this 40k theme. Ultra Marine steam jack, or jump pack librarian with eternal mights and machine curse! I'm not really creative on this...but do have an ultra marines company. i just need to pick what company and paint the emblems and shoulder bars accordingly. I think i just stick to the second company.

[Ninja Chocobo]

The Space Wolves legion tends to be more characteristic of Vikings, so in essence, they are more like Space Vikings (with wolf fangs) than Space Furries, which they have turned out to not be at all. :P

They ride wolves around, they wear wolf pelts, they have wolf-shaped helmets and they call each other "Wolf". I'd call this pretty conclusive evidence.

[Emperor Ing]

Yes, because Vikings, Germanic Barbarians, and Hinjo are/were all furries. :smalltongue:
As for the titles, I guess it is more well known that our words are the Canon Law of the Universe than I thought.
[/sarcasm]

[Serpentine]

I'm kinda iffy about there only being 1 week between the two Weeks... Personally, I prefer more like 2, or 3 to keep it to one a month. But eh. This isn't one I'll be involved in anyway :smallcool: :smalltongue:

[Gullara]

That really wouldn't be too hard. Replace his revolver with a power rapier or something and put a nice =][= pendant on him.

Inquisitor Holmes of the Ordo Xenos, perhaps?

[golentan]

Exactly, or a bolter, or something, for the weapon.

[Etcetera]

Would someone be prepared to draw me a warlock? But an Eldar one this time. With Runey Armour and a witchblade and physic and stuff. Colours and appearance are up to you, mon-keigh.

[Emperor Ing]

exactly how many 40k avatars am I gonna have to draw? :smalltongue:

[onasuma]

As many as I draw (i.e. anything Nids, Nurgle or darkeldary along with anything else that makes me excited) subrtracted from as many as there are people who wish to have 40k avatars who are unable/unwilling to draw themselves.

[Maximum Zersk]

Heh, currently I have only one request I'm working on. :smalltongue:

[KilltheToy]

Or I could just be lazy and say he's holding an antique stub pistol :smalltongue:.

Is WH40K week this week? I hope I haven't missed it... :smallfrown: If not, when is it?


Also, would anybody be interested in making an avatar for me? I've been considering getting a new one, possibly of a Commissar (Gaunt, Cain, or generic...) in a heroic pose. But now this actually gives me a fun excuse to get a new one! :smallbiggrin:

[Maximum Zersk]

Look at the title. :smalltongue:

[charl]

WH40k week is not a time or place. It's a state of mind.

[Gullara]

Not NEVER enuff Dakka!

MORE DAKKA!!!!!!!! WAAAGH!

Sorry I really like orcs:smallbiggrin:

[Fan]

Since this seems the appropriate place to ask, would anyone mind making me a avatar of this Blood Angel Terminator?


http://www.davidzieglmeier.com/images/digi/GW/term.png

[Emperor Ing]

I might do it (pending another request i've been putting off) but that is no Terminator.

However it does do me good to know that someone wishes to be my Brother in Battle. :smallsmile:

[Fan]

Google said it was to me, and I had figured his Crux Terminatus might have just been on the other side, and him in a lighter recon armor or some such.

Stupid google, and it's LIES.

Actually, I think I'd much rather have a avatar of this guy below.

I thought the consensus was to have avatar themes occur 6 weeks apart, to avoid stressing out the avatarists. I mean, there was a vote and everything. :smallconfused:

[happyturtle]

Maybe there should be a dedicated 'Avatar Theme Week' thread, that restarts every 50 pages, rather than a separate thread for each week, to keep everyone on the same page.

[Emperor Ing]

That'd cause confusion due to the previous 35 pages being not <Insert theme week>.

[Lycan 01]

So... Would anyone be nice enough to offer to make me an avatar? Please? :smalltongue:


I just can't decide on what exactly I want... Nothing too complicated - just a Commissar of some sort. I just can't decide on what weapons or situation I want him to be in. :smallconfused:

[Icewalker]

I think the six week rule was missed because people didn't notice it had been made. Theme weeks are so universally thought of and executed that a voted on decision about them will be missed by a third of the people who may end up making a week. I didn't see it (although I'm more of the 'joining in' type in this kind of scenario). Do people think the date should be moved?

[Falgorn]

Well, that's what I was thinking when I asked for that.:smallcool:

Wait, we have a CthulhuitP? Never knew that.
But yeah, good job Rand.

[Fan]

Well, Sanguninius is the Primarch of the Blood Angels, and he's damn awesome, so do what you can, and know that I'll be grateful no matter how it comes out!

[Solaris]

If someone gets me a template to work from, I can fill out some of the SM requests.

[Emperor Ing]

...and...I am done.

Mephiston was starting to get tired of me saying that the firestorms and Lasers-from-the-skies are just uncontrolled manifestations of his powers by being around me, so I agreed to resurrect Sanguinius if he agreed to STFU.

Now all i gotta do is see if Mephiston is willing to uphold his end of the deal.

Primarch Lion El Johnson would like to disagree with you in his Black, and green armor.

[Lycan 01]

Hey, which do you guys think would be cooler? :smallconfused:

Commissar Gaunt as he was on the cover of "First and Only," looking like he's running forward with a Power Sword over his head and a Bolt Pistol? Or a generic Commissar with a Chainsword out to the side and a Plasma Pistol pointed at the sky in a dramatic pose?

[Maximum Zersk]

I'd say the latter. With the sun peeking out of grey clouds behind him and hundreds of dead soldiers at his feet.

[Lycan 01]

I dunno if I want it to be that detailed. I'm content with simple, as long as it looks cool. :smallbiggrin:

Actually, I found an awesome pic of Ciaphas Cain last night. I might end up seeing if somebody can do that for me... So yeah, its between:
-Commissar Gaunt from the cover of the first Gaunt's Ghosts omnibus
-Ciaphas Cain from the cover of the 2nd CC omnibus
-A generic commissar with a chainsword revved up over his head and a steaming plasma pistol held out to the side.

Yeah, I think I'll probably end up sticking with these after WH40K week, so I want to make sure it'll be something I like. :smalleek:

[onasuma]

Primarch Lion El Johnson would like to disagree with you in his Black, and green armor.

Well, he was never done in the card format which most people see as the official one (if you dont know what I mean, heres the angron: http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/File:Angron_puzzle.jpg), and the only other GW rendering on him has him in green and gold. Who knows.

[Lycan 01]

Ah, here we go...

So yeah, what should it be? :smallconfused:

Gaunt (http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?catId=cat1150141&prodId=prod1170069)?
Cain (http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_2CJ2DgXAD9Q/Syee3rohlNI/AAAAAAAAAHs/XogyRWi7s-0/s1600-h/Defender+%28Cain+Omni2%29.jpg)?
Or the generic Commissar?

C'mon guys, anybody want to share some feedback?

[Etcetera]

CIAPHAS CAIN, HERO OF THE IMPERIUM! Just cos' his books have a character in called Iyor DeDonki.

[onasuma]

Not a commissar. Commissars are rubbish.

If you do insist, any commissar from the Death Korps - they have gas masks and are therefore cool.

[Emperor Ing]

Sorry, not taking requests at the moment

As for Primarch armor color, I recall hearing Alpharius and Omegon wore generic Alpha Legion armor (I believe the gene seed flaw in the Alpha Legion makes all its members look identical, so I have a theory that Guilliman killed a regular Alpha Legion dude :smallcool:) and i've seen pictures of Guilliman wearing Gold, Blue+Green, and White+Blue armor.

[loopy]

Oooh! Oooh! Let me join! :D

Anyone interested in making the Joker into a 40k character? (I believe that it is the only thing that could turn up his grimdarkness)

[Emperor Ing]

The Joker seems to me like he'd be Dark Eldar, but as I said before i'm not taking requests at the moment.

Still, he qualifies to be Dark Eldar.

[Dragonus45]

I would love to join in on the 40k fun, if someone could get my current avatar dressed as a commissar. Also if whoever does this could set him up with a chain sword guitar i would love you for ever and ever.

[Gamerlord]

I am waaaaaaaaaaaaaay ahead of all of you :smalltongue: .

[Comet]

Since I'm all out of imagination juice, how about I simply ask someone to add some 40K accessories to my fremen avatar here?
A chainsword instead of his crys-knife, maybe a cyber implant over one eye, some kind of symbol on his belt. Or a nifty hat. Maybe recolour it a bit if necessary.

If anyone gets any ideas, go wild.

[Emperor Ing]

I am waaaaaaaaaaaaaay ahead of all of you :smalltongue: .

Hey, just because I never use my 40K avatars...

Alright. I'll try to enter this, if my inkscape works that is...:smallannoyed:

I don't understand this thread...

Isn't EVERY week WH40K week?

At least it is for me...

Tell that to the over 9000 dudes who use girl avatars even though their gender is clearly labeled as "Male" on their profile and Gender Bender Week. :smalltongue:

Hey, the chaos symbol is gender-neutral...

[Emperor Ing]

Hey, the chaos symbol is gender-neutral...
Your avatar is not of the chaos symbol. :smalltongue: [/captainobvious]

[Silverraptor]

Ok, I know that it's late, but would there be anyone willing to make an avatar for me? Here are some refernce pictures:

What I want is the giant gun with my miner guy firing it and the raptor reloading the gun. Give the miner guy the guard outfit and helmet while the raptor just gets a helmet that's not straped. Have the raptor holding the clip while looking into the direction the gun is firing. Also, give the miner guy a somewhat angry face as he's firing the gun.

Thanks in advance to all who would do this.

[Emperor Ing]

For Warhammer 40k week, I got a few new 40k avatars for anyone interested.

[chiasaur11]

That is one nice crisis suit. If nobody else wants it I'd be honored to be able to use it.

[charl]

I like the Planet Killer. Would you mind if I...?

[Silverraptor]

Hey randomizer, want to try my request? Pretty please!:frown: Why isn't there a bamby eyes smiley?

[Emperor Ing]

The avatars posted here are based on templates I already have, so sadly due to time I can't make anything at this moment. :smallfrown:

But for those who wanna take what I posted, go ahead, just give credit on signature.

[Silverraptor]

*Sigh* I guess I got to skip this one. Can we maybe do this again sometime?:smallconfused:

[Recaiden]

Okay, I've gotten a 40K avatar variation done. But I feel too much detail has been lost. The writing on the pauldrons and strips, the fact that the mace is a skull, the trim of the sash. Perhaps if I cut out most of the top of the flames...

And I've some 40K avatars others can use.

[Mattarias, King.]

:smallbiggrin: Ooooh, Recaiden, I'm digging that avatar. My Sisters have fire feet too. And fire hair. :smallbiggrin:

Anyways, dang, 40k week already? Guess I gotta hurry up on making an avatar. :smalleek:

[Recaiden]

There's an explanation. It's a previously on fire avatar:

Made a Sister of Battle
http://i48.tinypic.com/4kd0d0.jpg
The hair may have had something to do with this picture. (http://www.thq-games.com/resources/conceptart/large/98fe022896b1b0033e622aa099f56eca.jpg)

[KilltheToy]

Ladies, Gentlemen, and androgynous xenos, I give you Inquisitor Shylok Holems of the Ordo Xenos, now with bionic eye, purity seal, and oddly undersized plasma pistol. Isn't the Mechanicus great? :smallwink:

This is what happens when I mess around a bit in Fireworks. I'm a long way from anything good. Ah well, practice makes perfect. It's just kinda hard to practice when you can't afford the software you want to practice with.

[golentan]

I just want to double check that my avatar is visible in my avatar.

P.S. I say, Holems. That's amazing. How ever did you deduce that the Xeno had infiltrated the Astartes?

[Emperor Ing]

P.S. I say, Holems. That's amazing. How ever did you deduce that the Xeno had infiltrated the Astartes?

I told 'em. Now all they gotta do is bunker down and pray the Grey Knights don't find 'em.

[KilltheToy]

P.S. I say, Holems. That's amazing. How ever did you deduce that the Xeno had infiltrated the Astartes?

Well, he (http://wiki.lspace.org/wiki/Xeno) doesn't make much effort at not being obvious :smalltongue:.

On a side note, I thought purity seals weren't limited to the Astartes, but were present in the Guard and the Sister too.

[Crimmy]

I've been silly not to show my Rand-atar.

[Silverraptor]

And I've some 40K avatars others can use.

http://i46.tinypic.com/2n906e.jpg

I'm going to grab this one for the time being. I like it!:smallcool:

[Emperor Ing]

On a side note, I thought purity seals weren't limited to the Astartes, but were present in the Guard and the Sister too.

Indeed. However, there's no shortage of them. As a running joke, Brother Arimham lines his pauldrons with purity seals and the rest of the company pretends to worship him as some sort of pinnacle of freedom from daemonhood. The reactions of the other Blood Angels is hilarious, you should've seen the look on Chapter Master Dante's face. :smallbiggrin:

[The Bushranger]

Hm. Anybody want to make a 40K BR?

[Recaiden]

On a side note, I thought purity seals weren't limited to the Astartes, but were present in the Guard and the Sister too.

Indeed. I believe I'm wearing three at the moment.

@BR: I'd try, but I have no ideas as to what to make him.

[The Bushranger]

Hmm. Maybe a 40K Brendan, then?

*knows nothing about 40K and thus can't make too many suggestions* =/

[Recaiden]

Um...that's slightly more possible.

Though...what's your most evil character? They'd probably fit in best.

[The Bushranger]

Hm...that'd be Arina:

Remember teh creditz. :smalltongue:

[Icewalker]

That is awesome. Thank you! Just one request: is it possible to make the contrast between the parts (helmet, hammer, cloak, etc) a little clearer? The whole thing is dark, which is good, but it makes it hard to see what it is and what's what. Thank you so much though!

I intend to keep a spoiler in my sig of all my Aviary avvies once I've gathered a few. The Crow makes an excellent addition. :smallsmile:

[The Bushranger]

Yay! Thanks Recaiden! ^_^

Oh, also, Maximum Zersk: you sized it at 121x121, where the forum max is 120x120, so it resizes it and it gets fuzzy. I can always cut off the pixel in paint or the like, it's not hard, just felt it was worth pointing out when you're putting them together in the future.

[Emperor Ing]

I don't get it, what is it? It dun look like Black Legion.

[Maximum Zersk]

Oh, also, Maximum Zersk: you sized it at 121x121, where the forum max is 120x120, so it resizes it and it gets fuzzy. I can always cut off the pixel in paint or the like, it's not hard, just felt it was worth pointing out when you're putting them together in the future.

Whoops, sorry 'bout that. :smallredface:

Usually I'm extremely careful with things like that. I get frusterated if I cant get it exactly 120X120.

By the way, nobody noticed that it's already 40k week?

[Gamerlord]

Woops, I forgot about this week!
Better get my warhammer avvie on!

[Ninja Chocobo]

I'm the grim darkness of the far future!

[Mattarias, King.]

By the way, nobody noticed that it's already 40k week?

I did. Just haven't been able to throw something together, due to my tablet AND imaging software going all herpsderps on me. :smallsigh:

Pretend like I'm from a planet stuck in a warpstorm or sommin'. >.>;; I'm totally secretly one of you. Blame Creed. Wizards. Pixie dust. The moon!

[Maximum Zersk]

Hey, Assassin's Creed has something to do with 40k...

...Somehow. :smalltongue:

I might make a drawing for 40k week.

Interestingly, today I got the rulebook, so I'm finally going to be able to play 40k soon. YAY!
