I wonder too whether I could bring myself to say holes in the walls and start smoking cigars! ;)<br /><br />Mind you I've always had more than a soft spot for those old RT Space Marine dreads, and if the Robots didn't fetch such crazy prices on Ebay I'd have a few by now. Definitely need to get my Imperial Guard in action against my Genestealer cult and play some RT - I love the idea of a backwards primitive world and using a load of my fantasy models too though...Thantsantshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06902730729032525538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-341832496341749426.post-30291483200956154042012-12-07T23:54:29.309-08:002012-12-07T23:54:29.309-08:00Can dreadnaughts and robots be far behind?Can dreadnaughts and robots be far behind?zhu bajieehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08004498036257289234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-341832496341749426.post-33983613608252709342012-12-07T22:08:14.254-08:002012-12-07T22:08:14.254-08:00Hey Thantsants,

We all know what happens to polystyrene when it comes into contact with a solvent right...<br /><br />:(<br /><br />But, I'll not let that deter me, I'll rebuild with more polystyrene or stones or something and have it look like repaired damage (which it is anyway...) from some previous battle.Stygianhearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02157673627988765453noreply@blogger.com
