Explain your Avatar

More and more often, I keep thinking: "Man that's a cool avatar" or "wtf is that"

So instead of asking everyone separately, I'll ask everyone at once

1) What is your Avatar of?
2) Why'd you choose it?


I'll start:

1) My avatar is the mini-logo for my website design company.
2) I choose it because I don't have any good models to use for it. (I'm working on it. =])

nice Topic!

1) From the GW website
2)because I am a great fan of bretonnians!

1) a pic made during my trip to Croatia last summer
2) Because... I liked that pic of me as a medieval blacksmith with sandals and tennis cap

My avatar, is one of the many shapes of the mysterious Lord Siwoc.
In this he is Lord Commander of an Imperial Guard regiment, with subtle hints to his chaos background.

Drawn by a friend from another forum.

Nice, I'm glad you found this, cause that was one of the "What is that a picture of?" Thanks.

this is some drawing/render of a samurai

because i first wanted to play 'samurai undeads' and i still like the picture and to lazy to change it

My avatar is a pic of my very first painted figure (well ok did try to paint a regiment of beastmen when I was 15, but never got the point of painting them uniform brown) - The figure represents my dwarven noble - Dugan ...proud leader of "Dugan's Daredevil Dungeoneers!"

My avatar is the Lanyssa Ryssyll's mini (from Iron Kingdoms, by Privateer Press), because that's my all-time favourite mini

1) My avatar is called Lulu la Tortue, it's the animal bodyguard of Captain Tortiou, leader of my Reiklanders. Lulu is a tough little turtle, she always stays at the feet of her master and if a duel goes wrong, she will heroically bite the toes of Captain Tortiou's foes.
Lulu la Tortue is another proof of Admin Tom's extraordinary skill with Green Stuff - he just sculpted the turtle himself and added it to the base of Captain Tortiou

(here's a pic of the whole mini: http://bp3.blogger.com/_QaVZICFVA8c/RY8y5C1GhPI/AAAAAAAAAFk/x1bKDKMwnCc/s1600-h/IMGP0029.JPG)

2) why do I use it as an avatar? Well, why not? It's just that I find this little turtle extremely cute and that the whole model of captain Tortiou and his turtle bodyguard was one of the best gifts I ever received! Thanks again, Admin Tom!

The model is from the game of Confrontation? Griffins....

Cute little thing hehe....

I wanted an Orc pirate symbol so I took this Blood Axe icon:


And piratified it (what? that's a word!) by changing the axes to bones.

1) It's one of the symbols of the first viking metal band - Bathory
2) The first band I've decided to listen on my own, and not just followed my peers.

1) Cathayan Ronin conversion (usable as a Knights Vanguard from the Merchant Caravan warband or as a Officer from the Battle Monks warband)
2) It's the first model I did some conversion work on so I'm a bit melancholic about it.

1/ Picture from WAR Online
2/ Chosen till i take picture of the piece of scenery it will be! (still fan of my Lord Tzeentch!!!)

I saw this topic and I thought oh my god i need a new avatar so i searched for averlanders and i found the halflings

Mine is a creation I made. Got the images from the internet and created it. The only game I do not play shown is Ebberon.

Hahah, Yea i guess... I could have sworn I posted a post like 4 hours ago about my new avatar... o well..

Yea, I decided to replace my Website mascot with my current Mordheim Mascot now that I have a painted model I'm not ashamed of =] He looks great at that resolution too =)
