The Tyranid Exchange Program

[jross2000xxx]

What if we send all the gaunts we make up to Sledge painter. And she disperses them in a regulatory fashion so we are not all full of random addresses?

[WestRider]

The only problem I have with that is that she then ends up taking on rather more of the postage costs than everyone else does. Perhaps if we included Return Postage in the packages that we each send in.

I would also be willing to serve as the central person for that, I have experience doing mass-mailing stuff.

I've been trying to get to painting for this, but, you know, life...

[jross2000xxx]

You are right. Perhapse it is better to gather up a group of us and when we are ready to send then one of us sends his batch to the second then the second sends his whole batch and batch 1 to #3 (excluding the one for himself from batch one of course) and then so the cycle goes till batch 347 sends all the batches back to batch 1 again.

You know what would be cool? If we added the GW store number we most frequent to the base. And to coincide with that, I have talked to my GW staffers and they said that if we organised this they would be more then happy to showcase the accumulated Gaunts in the store displays.

[WestRider]

For those of us who game at GW Stores, perhaps. From where I'm at, the Indy Stores are all easier to get to, so I don't think I've been to an actual GW since...'05 maybe?

OK it was just a thought.

There should be a tyranid convention somewhere sometime....

[grundz]

I am game for this, just finishing up my gaunts (dark green/black iridescent painted shells)

I think the fastest solution for this is

[oacup]

Somebody should set up a Tyranid convention Somewhere... just an idea

[tgaunt]

I'd like to take part as well?
how many termagaunts do I have to paint?

[pocketsizednid]

WestRider, I'm with you on that one now all we need is a time limit & people to do this.

[WestRider]

Looks like we've got 9 People involved at this point, so 8 Gaunts each.

Unfortunately, Work's gotten crazy ahead of the expected Schedule, and we're well into Holiday Crunch already. I had to drop out of the 400 Points Contest since I've not had time to pick up a Brush in over a Month, and I don't really expect that to change before New Year's. So if y'all want Gaunts from me, the Deadline's going to have to be at least in January.

Sorry I've been away guys. I do still want to do this but it will have to wait until I move into my new home, so around December and New Years I'll have my studio back up and running and I've solidified a paint scheme to boot - and there was much rejoicing (yay).

I'm trying to work out when I'm going to have time to do any Painting. Things are getting really busy at work between Wedding Cakes and preparing for the Bakery's 10th Anniversary Party on the 13th. After that, though, I should be able to knock some Gaunts out pretty quickly.

You work at a BAKERY!!?? For the love of God man, why haven't you told me. (Starts checking google for distance to Seattle...)

What can I say, I am a sucker with a sweet tooth...

@ West Rider
Seattle huh?... might check your place out sometime

[WestRider]

coredump: You don't spend much time on the General Board, do you? I've mentioned it there a bunch of times. I mostly make Bread, though, not so much the Cakes and Pastries.

oacup: It's not actually in Seattle, out on Bainbridge Island, but no one knows where that is, so I always just list my location as Seattle.
