collect? you can play tabletop with them :o

when i read the title first time i read 3.5" plastic alien's ****job XD
he lookgs quiet good, although you can see you could have done it a little better, the color runs over a little bit, but its very good for coloring the first time
arent the carnifex kinda like the "tanks" of the tyranids or did i mix it up? :roll:

yes it was pure gray plastic (?) before :roll:


as you dont seem to know what tabletop is...
CRASH COURSE TIME! ^_^

tabletop games are some kind of "board games" where you play a small battle with plastic figures
warhammer 40k is one of those games (thats where this figure is from :wink: )
its some kind of sci-fi theme with an epic never ending war between the races (humans, orcs, some kind of aliens, some kind of demons and many more..) of the 41 millenium

so you and the player you are playing against put the little plastic figures (soldates, tanks, anti-gravity bikes, whatever...) on the board
the playing field/battlefield usually has some...uh...doodads...like trees, buildings etc. where units can take cover behind (most of them plastic, too XD)
so then you and your enemys take turns with moving your units
all the "stats" of the units are noted in a rule book, so you know for example how many cm a unit can move
if a unit is able to attack/shoot an enemys, you will be using a dice to make out if you hit/kill the target

the tabletop game (here you can more or less see some chaos marines)

I've got wh40k :P as for those other two races arnt they chaos space marines and elders?
though some reason my computer crashes in wh40k when i play as orks or do campaign so i dont realy play it any more. That just looks close enough to playing with lego to me so i dont think ill get any :P
