Tabletop Warhammer?

Nice haul. :)

I always liked that Kasrkin Sergeant model, in fact the Kasrkin as a whole are pretty cool. Way better than the standard Storm Trooper sculpts.

Thanks :D

I have been sorting out the plastic Imperial Guard today, still need to work on some of them. Got 3 tanks left but don't think I will strip them. cba:P

That's a fair amount of painting to do! That would take me years :p

My Scibor base turned up today! Did a quick blu tack pose of the Wraithlord and I think it'll work nicely, I really need to spend more time painting though.

Made a few Kill Team lists last night, 250 points gets you about 7-10 models depending on race, the scenarios look quite fun. The games may be a little tricky on Vassel, we'll have to make assumptions about height and LOS, probably wouldn't work competitively but should be able to make a good narrative.
 
^ Airbrush! :p

Seriously though, I'd hate to do a horde army (even though an all-Goblin army is tempting me). I'd probably never finish it. :(

Definitely a nice bunch of stuff to be working on, Seb. :)

I think the Kill Team rules look good, certainly seems close to Mordheim in some ways (which is great - easily my favourite from the Specialist Games range!). I'd like to give it a try soon, although as mentioned it won't be perfect with Vassal. Multi-level buildings will probably be best left out of it...

This evening I got all of the DV Tactical Marines primed and then some zenithal pre-highlighting done. I only did grey, as opposed to the grey and white I was going to do, as I don't want to tops to be too bright. Hopefully I've not applied too much grey here:

With any luck, when I apply the green tomorrow (hopefully, anyway) the effect will be just what I'm after. I've been working with just the H&S Evolution today and I have to say, it's a world of difference from the other airbrushes I have. One thing I can't get used to is just how much more control you have over the amount of paint coming out, it's spectacular. Although at 30 PSI it seems to push out more than the others, which caught me off-guard at first... :p

What isn't quite visible in the picture is the left kneepads; they're a bit bumpy, because I decided to paint the company markings on (or rather, half of them) before spraying (another tip from a YouTube channel!). I had to prime that part of the leg grey first, then airbrush VMA Sand and then carefully use a brush to apply Vallejo Liquid Mask (I hate this stuff - the smell makes me feel sick and it dries far too quickly, but also flows places you don't want it to, so I may try Humbrol Maskol next) to half of it to get the 6th company marking. Hopefully when I come to peel that off it will only remove the mask itself and not the paint below.

Using the airbrush also made it miles easier to fix the Librarian's cloak. There's some overspray on the surrounding area, but it will be a million times easier to fix that than to go from red to a creamy white colour with a brush. Only trouble is it made the uneven texture underneath much more visible... Think I may strip and repaint this one to get rid of that.

I'm considering being brave and spraying in the shadow colour. Could be...interesting. With regards to the skull on the shoulder pad here, do people think I should make it a bone colour or go for a metallic instead?

Indeed I got a airbrush a few weeks ago. Still have not had time get it going for long.
I don't know if I want to take on the job:) Never been in to the imperial guard. I got them for my son who now loves the look of the space marines:rolleyes:
I might just sell them on.

Does anyone know what these miniatures are? They were in the bottom of the box I got.

Anyone here got any Daemons experience? Thinking about maybe doing a small force as allies. I reckon after ive finished my CC Noise Marines, Bikers and Oblits my main force should be finished with for a while. I still want to be working on something and Slaanesh Daemons seem like the obvious choice. Ill probably grab the codex this weekend to see what I think anyway.

Haven't used them yet, just bought Balthazar Gold (which bizarrely is more bronze) and Warplock Bronze though

Cheers, I might take a look at these. Probably not going to get much chance to do any painting this week as I start my new job tomorrow, but we'll see. I should be doing some work on the Vampire Hunter, as I don't need the airbrush for that one now that the basecoat is done, so I may nip into GW on the way home tomorrow and grab a bronze to try out on his gear. :)

I also have a miniature from Reaper on the way that I'm going to try some wet blending on, since I really need to work on the more advanced painting techniques. This guy has quite a bit of cloth to play around with:

I popped down to Campaign in Milton Keynes over the weekend, whilst I didn't get much, I did buy some tubs of Skaven Clan rats (I think they're Isle of Blood ones), I thought £3 for about ten was good.

It turned out when I got home that for my £9, I'd got something like 60 :)
Which takes my little horde of Clan rats up to about 140ish - although at the rate I paint it'll be years till they're painted (I've got 40 monks, 40 strom vermin + HQ, rares etc to do).
I think I'll probably do the new clan rats as basic colours only, IE no highlights and minimal detail.

I also got a good look at the KR multicase four way flight case, which I'm tempted to get (either that or a six way), and a look at Warmill's new stuff which was impressive and I'm sorely tempted to get some of their habitation modules and shipping containers (also some of their things like the medical bay and garbage units for Tau/human scenery).

I really like KR's cases and bags.

I'm interested to see what their new furniture looks like. A painting desk that turns into a gaming table would be awesome.
 
I really want to see their furniture as well, although it's unlikely I'd have space for it as I've already got a gaming table set up in the garage (with loads of stuff under it), and a permanent spray/painting area out there, and no room in the house for one (I do brush painting in front of the PC).
 
Looking to spruce up a few of the DV bases (terminators, chaos lord, hell brute) I dont want bit patches of gravel/grass fluff so was wondering if anyone has any experience with the resin bases that there are loads of on ebay, some of them look cool so tempted to get a few and try out but just wanted to know if they are worth it, also watching/bidding on a few bit boxes to add a little but more to the bases.
 
I've bought a few resin bases. Model Display Bases are ok (I used them on my Incubi so there are pictures further back in the thread, got that from Firestorm Games) I got a Secret Weapons base which is much better but I don't know if you can get them in the UK. Just got a Scibor base which I'm really impressed with as well and you can get them in the UK (Element Games shop sell them)
