Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Illicit Still Configurations, eh? Makes sense, I suppose -- after all, just about everything else in the WH40K universe has an STC for it somewhere. Major Tom 2009

Re: Your evil army

Re: Background help please You could always go The Blob route; in other words, the character found the impact site of what he first thought was a meteor, only to find what would eventually become the nanosuit that he now wears as a vigilante hero (I don't know about you, but I figure that beats the hell out of becoming an appetizer for some alien horror -- but then again, if said nanosuit were to be hit with some weird form of energy or malicious software, that might happen anyway).

Re: A DC Animated-style HeroMachine This is for Brother Jim and anyone else who might be interested in creating colored backgrounds for their Fabrica pics. Although there's no function on the F2011 menus for creating color back- grounds, there is a way to do it, but it takes a bit of time (and a lot of mouse-clicking as well). What you have to do is to first go to the Symbolo/Symbols menu, and click the button until the square comes up. Then you click on the enlargement button (the + sign) until the square is about 1.5 to 2 inches square (or maybe a little bigger). You'll need to do this a total of 9 times altogether, so be prepared for slightly tired clicker fingers. Once you've got all 9 squares in place, pick the color you want to use for your background and color them in (don't forget to use the Line function to make the black line border the same color as the squares). After you've got that out of the way, create your pictures as you normally would. Be warned, though: if you've got items on your pic that you need to put in "back" of the image, be sure to use the Layering button that only does one level at a time. If you use the button that puts the item behind the image in one shot, you'll bury the item under the color background (I found that out when I redid the pic of Snow Angel on the color background, and put her long hair in back of the background; the first thought that went through my mind when that happ- ened was that I'd somehow deleted the item). I hope that everyone else who uses Fabrica 2011 to create their pics finds this of some use to them. Major Tom 2009

Re: A DC Animated-style HeroMachine Brother Jim: I just did a new pic of the Surbrook's Stuff Snow Angel over on the Fabrica site, but when I tried to find a setting that would let me put a colored background behind the pic, that's when I found out that there's no such function in the F2011 version of the creator. Apparently, only the A/T-style Fabrica has that function (curses! foiled yet again by limited technology). On the other hand, I like how the hairstyle for her turned out this time (I went with some different selections for this version, but kept the general look of her). Major Tom 2009

Re: A DC Animated-style HeroMachine Which Snow Angel are you talking about? The Surbrook version, or The Arc's version as redone by me? Major Tom 2009

Re: A DC Animated-style HeroMachine Actually, there are two different characters with that name. The first Snow Angel does indeed have a writeup on Surbrook's Stuff, and the second is one of The Arc's character pics from a few years ago (as to whether or not a writeup exists for his Snow Angel, I couldn't tell you).

Re: A DC Animated-style HeroMachine [ATTACH=CONFIG]40910[/ATTACH] No one -- not even Santa's elves -- knows who this mysterious elf is, or have ever heard him called by name. They do have an unofficial name for him, though: The Elf with No Name. All that's really known about him is that he's the driver of the Kringle Kommando's Battle Sleigh, and that he doesn't like anyone else messing with his ride at all. He also speaks with a British accent, and is an expert martial artist as well. He's never seen wearing anything other than what can best be described as an elven-style business suit, all in black, and a pair of black sunglasses. Major Tom 2009

Re: A DC Animated-style HeroMachine [ATTACH=CONFIG]40909[/ATTACH] The Kringle Kommando (a.k.a. "Rambo Claus") -- the guy who takes care of the ones who've been really naughty. As you can tell from his accoutrements, he doesn't bother with putting lumps of coal in the stockings of the ones who're on the Really Naughty List ().
