[QUOTE="Desdichado, post: 1019165, member: 2205"] It's actually not as hard as it looks -- I only recently started doing it myself, turning some "regular" Warhammer orcs into a BloodBowl team. First, I was just snipping the weapons out of their hands with a hobby knife and filing the hand down flat, but because it was easier than I thought, I've since done some slightly more dramatic things, like rather heavily modifying the pose of a Warhammer Ogre and even creating a Blood Bowl ball from scratch (not that [i]that[/i] looks any good.) If you want to "tech down"t he guns, I'd still say your best friend is a set of needle files (which I picked up from Hobby Lobby for $4.99 if I remember correctly) to just file down the "tech bits" to a smoother surface. Using the guns available from GW here looks really easy -- you probably just have to cut off the hand at the wrist, file it down a little bit so it's smooth, and then superglue the new gun with hand in its place. I'm not necessarily a big minis + RPG fan -- I really like minis for their own sake, and I do occasionally indulge in a mini game (mostly Heroclix or Blood Bowl, not the big-time games like Warhammer or the like) but my group really likes using good minis as much as possible, so I'm getting used to the idea. Never got any of the minis, though -- not even sure I've ever seen 'em, for that matter. I am a PS fan -- there's only been about three or four published campaign setting I'd run "out of the box" not because there's anything wrong with them, but just because I like to tinker and change things too much to suit my own tastes. IK, PS and maybe Midnight are just about the only settings that qualify there. re: the avatar - Thanks! That's just a trial run -- I was just about to crop a picture of my own head (ala the latest trend in avatars) when I thought to myself, "this kid is a heckuva lot better lookin' than I am -- screw it, he's the new avatar!" I almost put my wife's head in for the same reason, but I thought it'd just confuse folks to have a male name and a female picture. :cool: [/QUOTE]
