Tabletop Warhammer?

Shamikebab · 30 Jan 2013 at 16:23

That's all 6th edition isn't it?

I think we just play it as if it's two armies controlled by four people.

So DE move, CSM move, DE shoot, CSM shoot, DE assault, CSM assault and then the other side.

I think you still do all phases in order, move -> shoot -> assault but wouldnt you just do either one side lights up the sky followed by the other or alternate e.g. p1 (a), p3(b), p2(a), p4(b)

Shamikebab · 30 Jan 2013 at 22:11

Started work on the Sanguinary Guard last night, need to tidy up the chest eagle as it looks a tad scruffy.

They chest eagles are never really well defined when they come out of the plastic mold hmm

Shamikebab · 31 Jan 2013 at 14:23

Looking good how many layers is that over the black?

simon.deighton · 31 Jan 2013 at 14:26

The red is 4/5 the white/grey is 3/4.

Was painiting under a really terrible light source last night so was hard to even see the shades!

clartymarty · 31 Jan 2013 at 14:36

It looks great to me, I dont think I could get anything like that. I would like to see some varity of armies and how people are getting on with them

Drumunsta get your Tyrinids up! also if any1 has any tips or have done some dark eldar I would appriciate some help.

My CSM are table top standard I think lol

simon.deighton · 31 Jan 2013 at 14:39

Lol I have found that they do give out great ideas/tips if you post I know my painting has improved a fair bit but till only table top standard but slowly getting better.

I recently looks at my models and I have found that the metalic has gone a little too smooth and dull is that because I watered it down?

ShadowMan · 31 Jan 2013 at 14:55

Matt varnished 3 Tau Broadsides, 2 Remora Drones and a Devilfish last night. All decals applied first too.

Will aim for a pic this weekend.

Myself and my gaming group are heading to Warhammer World for the whole day on Saturday if anyone wanted to join us. Will be bringing lots of 40k and WHFB. I think we have a 10k per side 40k game planned for during the day. Might even stretch it to 15k each side!

Currently in the throws of painting my first orks. Half of him is one set of green and the other half is different. Think I know which scheme I'm going to use now. Will get one finished this weekend and a pic up!

lordhughes · 31 Jan 2013 at 16:40

Looks good Simon

you guys have just reminded me that I need to go buy some new brushes tonight

then I can get on with painting again. yay

Woogie · 31 Jan 2013 at 18:21

That looks ace Simon..... I can honestly say I wish I could paint to that standard but Practice makes perfect.

Oh.... Decent brushes make a hell of a difference, did about half hours work on a Termie last night and the paint just flowed so much better and smaller parts were easier with a decent brush.... just goes to show how crap the Citadel brushes are

When I first read that, I pictured an ork painted half green, half another colour

Look forward to seeing what you've done, you might inspire me to add or change things to my current scheme

Brabbinho · 31 Jan 2013 at 21:09

man, GW paints have shrunk since I last bought any...

clartymarty · 1 Feb 2013 at 10:51

I keep getting distracted with my painting! I really want to get them done but not rush lol

If I every get my squad finished ill post a pic of them all but I still havent decided how I want the guns! because they are the word bearers they have a lot of silver on them already so I dont really want any more. I could leave them black but I am not sure how to highlight them to make them better!"

Shamikebab · 1 Feb 2013 at 11:52

I would just make them a different silver. Word Bearer army metal is pretty bright so just make the guns very dark and dirty. You could even make them appear chemical stained or something by using small amounts of different coloured wash to stain the metal.

Or you could make the bolters black with metal barrels/ammo clips etc
