Bolter! The gun that launches soda cans.

Actually, as of the new Codex Space Marines, bolters now fire .75 caliber caseless explosive tipped or depleted deuterium code AP rounds IIRC they are still sabot rounds though.

They're STILL the size of a Soda Can, however. :P

At least, to me they are.

Yup...they are
And those acid bolts? I bet they're filled with special high corrosive coke

.... that can usually be purchased at your local McDonalds. YAY for abundant ammunition!

lol, shoot the enemy - save a citizen from stomach cancer XD....

Yes Indeed...but I meant even more corrosive...like, instant oxydation ^^

I would just like to point out that .75 caliber is NOT the size of a soda can... its like... about thre size of an American Quarter. .75 caliber means the bullet s 3/4 of an inch around at the base.

Have a look at the bolter-muzzle...you really think .75 comes outta there...
Believe me, they DO shoot coke cans XD

Wouldn't depleted deuterium be pretty pointless? Deuterium is a gas, and just cause something is 'depleted' that doesn't make it better for ammunition.

I stand corrected:

Still doesn't make sense to utilize a gas for AP rounds, but okay ^^

You have to understand the Warhammer mentality...if something is not explainable by reason, it was a warp storm...

Alright, I see where I made the mistake here. the Delpeted Deuturium Core is likely the explosive round, and the Diamantine tip is for AP. I beleive it is an all in one round, from what I'm reading on the Codex Space Marine it lists the Diamantine tip, depleted deuterium core, and mass reactive detonators all in a single description of the round.

So I guess it punches through your armour and THEN explodes the soft innards.

Yah, I do believe that's the point

Gaunts suck, Bolterboys win!

Do!

tyranid - is that right? beastly creatures if in the right hands... perhaps the best "favourite" are those eyball that blow up like mines... haha! my friends made soo many jokes on that!
nicely done...

Yes indeed...but no Tyranid force can stand against the massed firepower of three Terminator Squads a Commander and his Term Retinue...
Not to mention the rest of the entire fucking army, but that's what I'm building at anyway ^^

of course! as long as you keep that distance :)
or else you get rapped!

Depends what you're up against...

Ahhh nid! :D Tis so sexy o.o

Oh...a slight affection for the dangerous, have we...
Believe me if I say, you do not want to see the conversions I've done with some Nid models I had left for bits XDDD

I <3 Nids. THEY ARE SO CUTE :D

The small ones...can't get comfy with the new walking cannons though..

as an ex nid player, i commend that bug! loved my tyrnaids. cureently play witch-hunters though

Why'd you quit?

just cause they were my first army and i wanted somethign with all metal figures and high detail. so i went inquisitoral.

Mean metal metal or plastic metal? I dunno, I just can't stand the metal models..maybe because I can't convert them ^^

full metal, im good with greenstuff, hehe. and ive got stuff to cut through pewter so it works out ok

Ah well...I like Green stuff too, but only for adding detail, not for extending the model actually...but most of my conversions look pretty ok actually...can't wait to get my dreadnaught finished ^^

I've always had problems with nids, as my Ultramarines are a more heavy weapons focus, and lack the numbers of bolter-boys to take down a swarm. against a 'zilla army though, they win. Course, adding 5 bolter boys and a heavy bolter to my army has helped flesh out my shooty.

Oh and btw, I did post it ^.~ Thought to myself "Ah wtf..."

Addendum: I have to add that the Gaunt looked even better before resizing the picture. Quite impressive job considering you said you hadn't used any model as reference :) Love the armor carapace.
Also, for some strange reason, the highlighting on the knee guard and greaves of the marine strike me as really good.

Ok...I remembered you saying you didn't want it online ^^
Thanks... ^^ ...I'm working to improve more

Wow, wow wow WOW !!!!!!!
Few, but GREAT !!!!!

Thank YOU! ^^

thx ^^

lol. I can see it going "Wrrryyyy!" *giggles*

Wowee!

nid rush!

TO THE ARMS MEN!!! FIGHT 'TILL THE LAST MAN!!

Pfft Terminators=Fleshy Puddles of chewy bitz for my Warriors. Rending=I don't care a bit for your 2 plus armor save You DED! Specially with a higher strength, toughness, 4+ armor save, flying, and leaping, adrenaline sac I and A=one elite Warrior brood.

Seriously, a flying warrior brood is all I do, HQ Warriors, Elites, Warriors, Fast Attak Warriors.. And like, a few ripper swarms.. Actually the bare minimun. Unfortunetly I have to borrow all my friends warriors right now as it's ass expensive to complete haha, I'm prolly just gonna go Daemonhunters, the only marines worth playing... And only worth playing cause you can use them with an IG army.

Mwahaha Guard player...how's your flashlights...ooh, I felt that tickle XD
jk, hell, I've never had my Terminators erased from the battlefield, ever. Even my pals Carnifex couldn't stand up to them, took him down in one round..

lol wait wait, one thing you cannot fall victim to is thinking Carnifex's are any good at CC except against me.. Tau =/ lol.
Rending Warriors will cream pie Termies same with Geenstealers, Hive tyrans have a chance too.. And actually a really well tooled out Carnifex should feasibly be able to kill Terminators easily, but I forgot my old terminator killing fex design.

Though me being Tau main, Terminators pose one threat to me, their shooting.. As odd as it sounds. My friend has began accepting that he cannot assault me with terminators.... So he brings all shooty terminators and kills half a fire warrior squad usually hehe.. But the thing is, Crisis suits will tare Terminators apart, no questions about it even, and they can move out of their assault range easily.. And 24 shots from Fire Warriors, most of them will wound and hit due to markerlights.. Thats alot of 5+ invulnerable saves to be taking. Oh and I beat terminators in Close Combat with my Shas'o and Bodyguard haha, Shas'o' just have so many wounds (4), 4 attacks, strength... WTF 5!? GOD DAMNIT I've been using strength 4 ALL this time lol fuck, yeah and his bodyguard all has WS 4 aswell, and 2 attacks strength 5, he has an invulnerable of 4+, and shield drones will soak in SO many hits.. And all at toughness 4, even the close Assault Terminators have a problem killing crisis suits... Especially when I can re-roll any wound on the Shas'o due to Feel no pain.
But yeah, usually I have enough plasma rifles that the terminators take about 8 hits with their 5+, and then they have to take about 35 some 2+ saves due to Fire Warriors and such.

Man, I love Inquisitorial IG, Storm Troopers, Melta Guns.. Your Terminators will even respect that haha.

Mwahahahaa...hey, I'd like to play against your IGs...you apear to like advancing...all the guys I played against are the annyoing type...sit and watch and wait...

Yay for nids. ^^
