I used to, from 1993 through to about 2004. Now I just paint them from time to time when I get bored!

Bought this game yesterday afternoon, loving it! Have not been able to get online yet. It wont let me connect to a game. Will have to investigate why when I get some time tonight.

Used to play it in the late 1990's

Wouldnt mind playing it again (and fixing up my miniatures which need it badly) but go near a games workshop shop and there's just too many kids - fu(k that

And it always smells bad

And it always smells bad

Any time i go into the store one of the staff members always manages to corner me and lock me into a conversation about 40k for some stupid reason, then because i am too polite i go along till i can find an ethical way to bail which is at least 20 mins later.

Not much need to go there these days with online stores offering far better prices on 40k models.

I went there to get a book the other week and it was the same thing, stuck for f**king ages for no good reason, I think it is store policy to act like the customers best friend....because really a lot of their customers could probably do with a new best friend lol :P

what website to you use for purchasing models Chappy??

I used to play then stopped as all my friends left my school who played with me,

now i just play the PC games given the stupidly expensive price of the models nowadays:( i remember $35 would get you a space marine squad, now it barely gets you a blister pack

Maelstromgames.co.uk used to be a great place to buy from, till GW changed the terms and conditions that restricted UK sellers from selling to people outside the UK. If you know a good forwarder though you can get away with it.

There are some good sellers on Ebay too

wizardsgames (user) or RED DRAGON GAMES (store)

abadd0n (user) or Abaddon's Warchest (store)

It can also be cheaper to buy straight from the GW site in the USA and send them to a freight forwarder.

oh ok cheers mate,

I did notice how cheap stuff was on ebay,

does it appear to you that some people must be making duplications of some sprues on ebay??

as who knows where a person would get 50 sprues of the torso of spacemarines etc etc haha...

Pity we get ripped off so bad in australia for stuff like this :(

They buy bulk battleforce packs then split them up and sell them individually.

DL the demo for ps3 on the weekend, how brutal is it!!!

awesome

i buy all my miniatures from Black Cultist. 25% off all GW products and free delivery in the ACT.

Im currently building Space wolves and IG armies. also have Tau and Ork. i used to play from mid nineties to mid 2000s but now just paint/model in my spare time.

The "stun and execute" thing? fkn awesome. and SO violent!

I like the one on the nobs where you pin thier foot to the ground with the power axe and pull thier jaw off! lol

This game almost made me like Ultrasmurfs!

    • I'm looking for some real world experiences/feed back from anyone who has personally ran a EFR7670 with a 1.05 exhaust housing or a .83 I'm leaning towards the .83 because its a street car used mostly for spirited driving in the canyons roads. I"m not looking for big numbers on paper. I want a responsive powerband that will be very linear to 8000 rpm. I dont mind if power remains somewhat flat but dont want power to drop off on top. The turbo I've purchased is a 1.05, although the mounting flange T3 vs T4 and internal vs external waste gates are different on both housings, I not concern about swapping parts or making fabrication mods to get what I want. Based on some of the research I've done with chat gpt, the 1.05 housing seems to be the way to go with slightly more lag and future proofing for more mods but recommends .83 for best response/street car setup. AI doesn't have the same emotions as real people driving a GTR so I think you guys will be able to give me better feed back 😀   
    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
