Printing Scenario Maps with Poster Software

You've got a scenario map, and you need to create some hills. Is there some way to just print out the map in very large scale, so you can trace the outline of the hills you need to build? The Editor finds out...

I found these at my local Mighty Dollar store, it's one of those everythings a dollar stores, but has different stuff from the Dollar Tree.

The Space Marine is inserted for scale and humor…

Now I need suggestions on what to do with the buildings.

First suggestion, repaint. Either the buildings or the space marine.

I saw those a while back at Family Dollar. Thought about using them as a basis for some urban fill, but decided they would need too much work.

First suggestion, repaint.

[ ] the buildings
[x] the Space Marine

The buildings already look to be offical GW color schemes.

These buildings are obviously from the chapter home world of the Hello Kitty space marines

Furniture pieces look to be perfectly in scale for 28mm, and those alone make it a good purchase.

I can judge precisely about the scale, because it appears the Marine would need to remove his armor to fit in the tub.

Good point.
$1 USD for a 28mm scale toilet? I'm there!

OK, this has just got to be the Chapter building/buildings for the Pretty Boy Space Marines. You know the ones… even the Guard would laugh at them then shoot them for their obvious heresy. Nuke teh Marine and the building from orbit…. it's the only way to be sure…

Tin Dictator – I'm glad you don't suffer from typo's….

Obviously this is some kind of Slaaneshi den of iniquity.

Thieses12 Sep 2009 5:23 a.m. PST

Wow, I need to look for these. I bet I can turn these into something cool with a little effort

Capt John Miller: LOL, bud! That's funny. And in this case, I think "Don't ask, don't tell" is NOT going to work.

For a hilarious example of nerdrage, read the comments in the link to the Hello Kitty space marine chapter that GarnhamGhast posted.

An example:

… I think gaming with an army like that damages the reputation of other female gamers who take things a little more seriously.

LOL… Dang some people just take things WAY too seriously! Personally, if I came across the players who owned those two armies, I'd have a good humoured laugh with them and congratulate them on having a sense of fun.

Guess fun is something we really should remove from all types of wargame though…

Updated with new pictures… and a girl space marine, maybe she is a homemaker!
