Starting to do that, but I am NOT going to just type in GW's stuff.
Copyrights are a bitch you know.

I am planing on putting some photo's from my own armies on to it. I am also
planning on adding an "up load" section where people can send their own
artwork. Please no scans of GW stuff. See copyright problem.

Cyber Wyverns, full intergration of the WetBoyz, Zeps, Orky Siege Mortars
(both in the Fluff book "Waagh! Da Orks") are on tap. Stand by for news.

There is evidence that they read this list. Recall the reply that was send
about the time of the Imperial Motor Rifle Regiment, where I was taken to
task for my attacks on the lack of clues on army TO&E as seen in GW games.
I need to do a 'who space-marine' to see if tpirinen_at_... (Tuomas
Pirinen) is still on the list. (Or he could just reply to this to let us
know....)
