I happen to enjoy vicariously my son’s orc habit. ( and the hacking and improvising that warhammer sub-group has more of) but I have to admit the box-set ladies things in the warhammer pantheon are vile and butch. The hello kitty has that Monty Python killier rabbit think going on. And Glitter rhinos are probably pretty good for sun-blinding opponent, I would think.
Sarah, im in the beta for Warhammer online. The online avatars are somewhat more satisfying.
collins, do you have purchase info for that rifle? it looks custom to me, and of course, i want one.
i also have a chaosoverlord and a spacemarine.
but the Witch is my fav.
Who forgot to lock the basement door?
It was raining a lot and I had to check one of the pumps.

As much as nishi scares me, I can’t help but like the kid.
No, the guy customized it for his wife, nish.
What’s next, though. Maybe a Hannah Montana unit.
Who are they fighting? Muppet Babies?
You know, that would make sense in a twisted-marketing sort of way.
Sort of like Polly Pocket and Barbie duking it out.
(Yes, I have nieces.)
Webkinz vs. Beanie Babies in Deathmatch 2008.
G.I. Joe has the firepower to take out the Smurfs – even if Strawberry Shortcake and My Little Pony respond.
The Hello Kitty assault rifle is not new — it’s been running around the gun-appreciation sites for a year or more. As Dan said, it’s a custom one-off. nishi isn’t the first person to wish they could buy one. If I recall correctly, somebody actually inquired of the licensors about making them for sale, but the suggestion wasn’t received gracefully.

WoW!
Pun intended.
I also dabble in teh 40k….. Space Marine, Knights Templar Chapter.
If I lost a game to the “Hello Kitty” brigade, I’d have to stab out my eyeballs with rusty carkeys and drag my nadz across battery acid coated barbed wire.
The HUMANITY!!!
I’d have to stab out my eyeballs with rusty carkeys>>/i?>
A glass-glitter rhino would be great for that.
“The online avatars are somewhat more satisfying.”
Nishi, that’s a little too scary-Cher for my taste, still. I do like the Hello Kitty, though. It has lethal pop irony, that looks like it could defeat an orc. The tanks look like they will blast-drown opponents in marshmallows and punch-flavor starburst fruit chews.
Nishi, you could settle for this glass-glitter 1,193-diamond (90 carets) Beretta 92FS (a nice showpiece I saw at this weekend’s NRA convention in Louisville).
I think I saw a pink AR-15 clone, but I paid it no attention.
This Beretta? $360K, estimated.
“A glass-glitter rhino would be great for that.”
Ha!
We wait here in great “antici……………. pation” for 5th edition to be released. I’m sure that Space Marines will get the nerfbat of doom layeth on their shiney helmets…
I just hope they fix the skimmer rules for Eldar. They are WAY broke.
Furbie perimeter scouts.
They never sleep.
I had to put one in the chest freezer in the garage once. It would NOT shut up. And it kept looking at me.

Yeah. That was for the Kalashnakitty idea. It was brilliant and he sold a lot of T-shirts, but the ‘Hello Kitty’ people shut him down.
Nishinut. Just get some heat resistant Krylon in the colors of your choice and have at it. I don’t think they make the teflon filled epoxy paint in that shade of pink.
Rusty,
Nonononoooo… Krylon® and similar paints won’t hack it. It has to be quality stuff, and the proper preparations made — which means you almost have to start with a new stock, because stocks get contaminated with oil in ordinary cleaning to the point that paint won’t stick despite stripping, and you have to be a fair-to-middling gunsmith (or employ one) because metal parts have to be disassembled, stripped, masked, bead-blasted, and powder coated, then properly reassembled. Otherwise you end up with something that blotches, peels, and generally looks like s*t even if you never fire it. The whole point of that gun is the dedication displayed by the owner.
I’ve seen a lot of guns with spray-painted stocks. Plastic ones work best, because they don’t have oil soaked into the pores, and nowadays you can easily get spray paint that sticks to plastic; there are also beginning to be a few plastic stocks available molded in bright fluorescent colors to start with. Deer don’t care and can’t see the colors, it makes the gun easier to spot when stacked with others in camp, and it’s something of a Statement compared to the camouflage-and-tactical craze. That’s not at all the same thing as disassembling down to components and doing it right.

Ric

LOL. I have a real tree camo shotgun I use for duck hunting. And yeah. I’ve lost it. More than once.
