Tabletop Warhammer?

Quick tip:
Never leave your models at your parent's house, where your mum can 'pack them away', because half of them will end up broken

Craig1981 · 23 Jan 2013 at 19:31

Harsh! Parents just dont understand these things, do they?

JHeaton · 23 Jan 2013 at 19:34

Ouch.

I think I'm going to revive my old Relictors project. Gonna have to buy some supplies at the weekend.

Mum binned my 2k point Skaven Army and my 2k point Ork and gobbo army because and I quote "They were only silly models and taking up space in the loft"

/cry

Where is the best place to order some brushes from? Having a real hard time finding somewhere (That and I haven't a clue what I'm looking for)

Her idea of packing was to put them all loose in a box .

I tried to take a few pics of my kroot earlier, but my camera is borked and my phone takes terrible pictures.

I used to play wartyK 20 years ago. I'd love to get back into it.

couple of questions to you enlightened types regarding newer rules...

1. Can you have an entire carnifex army?
2. Could you have an Ork army with a radio controlled Carnifex hostage?

I'm just thinking of model potential here if I were to get back into it

1. I very much doubt it, I'm guessing they count as heavies or elites so you're limited in how many you can field
2. If you want to invent some rules for it then I don't see why not.

Here are some terrible pictures, the lighting in this house is rubbish (silly energy saving rubbish), as well as my rubbish phone camera.

The Rosemary & Co brushes get a pretty good rep

Might want to look at this thread http://warhammer.org.uk/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=89516

I ordered the ones in the OP on that thread

They're under the watercolour section of the site, rather than the acrylics:

SSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

JHeaton · 23 Jan 2013 at 21:47

I had to search to find them because they weren't anywhere I'd expect them to be. Thing is, the description says a must-have for painting miniatures, but I've never seen anyone use watercolours to do this!

Has anyone had any experience with the Forge World Space Marine kits? Looking at getting some of the MkIII Iron Armour for a veteran unit somewhere down the line, but the last time I got anything from FW it was a little bit underwhelming in terms of quality...

Finished the first squad of Firewarriors. Really happy with the overall result.

Thanks
I think the white might be a little too stark, I think I should probably tone it down slightly, make it more bleached bone perhaps

Shamikebab · 24 Jan 2013 at 00:06

A model shot from me now. I've had these miniatures for over a decade (they were left unfinished when I gave up) I've fixed some of the really bad painting, added a few washes and generally got them to a tabletop standard. I haven't got any greens sadly so I couldn't fix the robes up and I haven't based them yet (it's always the last thing I do) Unfortunately when I was younger I didn't water down paints so it's a bit thick in places
