Re: Do you name your models?
@ bahumat - I actually stumbled by that online and was like "SWEET" since I had googled "Tyranid Alphabet".. and then I noticed it was Warmachine lol. The Khador and Cyngar symbols look Alien-like!
@MM - Very nice, make sure it's written in red paint!

For bugs, you might consider Latin-izing your chosen nickname to represent the classification given to it by the Imperial Biologis.
"Tiny" would give you vegrandis or minutus--you could combine that with Hierophant/Hierophantus or Tyranid/Tyranidus for entertaining results.

Now all I have to do is figure how to "label" them.

Re: Do you name your models?
The label maker popped in my head actually. I am just not sure how thin I can get a label maker to print.s_o_r_r_o_w wrote:Label maker?3eland wrote: Now all I have to do is figure how to "label" them.

Etched brass also popped in my head. The only thing is finding them thin enough to wrap around a base.
Research will be needed! When I find something I'll post a pic

There are a number that can print quite fine lettering--and you can trim down the tape with a sharp blade.3eland wrote: The label maker popped in my head actually. I am just not sure how thin I can get a label maker to print.

Label maker then prime it. It's a poor man's etched brass.

Re: Do you name your models?
I name my models individually, IF there is less than 20 in the warband. I do NOT name my IG, Marines, Nids, etc.. but the western skirmish games and Necromunda do get individual names..
2+2=5 for sufficiently large values of 2.
If you don't have your Location listed in your User Control Panel, why not take a second and update it? It will let your trading partners know where you are from the beginning.
I use the Unofficial Porkuslime Trading Guidelines - if you have way less refs.. you ship first.

Re: Do you name your models?
In generic (i.e. not pre-set characters) skirmish stuff like Mordheim and Necromunda, yeah, I named all my big shots, at least. Sergeants/squads used to get names, too.
Nowadays (huh... didn't realize that was one word), things generally only get names if they stand out (either something over the top for modeling, or often perform particularly well or poorly on the table).

True, we love life, not because we are used to living but because we are used to loving. There is always some madness in love. But there is also always some reason in madness.

Re: Do you name your models?
I used to name mine after some of my co-workers.
after 25 years at the same employer I look back and say who's that? or I wonder what they are up to now? or oh yeah the idiot that got himself fired for ...
