Tabletop Warhammer?

Awesome, cheers! Lots on here.

Edit: Erm, I can do Fridays-Sundays over the next few months, no guarantees on midweek games though! And I haven't played since 2nd Ed, so "rusty" would be appropriate :D

Man I can't believe I forgot this thread utterly. I just checked the last i posted in here was like two years ago! Since then I have a built a table and a whole bunch of terrain, nearly 1500 points of nids' and the missus has about the same in flesh tearers.

I thought i'd chuck a few piccys up of some of the stuff ive done. Most of the photos I have are terrain as the missus runs and etsy store and originally wanted me to put a few things up to fill it out (sold a couple of things too! :p)

Excuse the changing lighting and harsh shadows, I live in a really sunny place and I take the pics on the roof.

Here is a wrecked bastion, made out of polystyrene. I used a needle and a candle to draw cracks, bullet holes and damage into it, careful with the fingers if u do! I put my needle in a cork so you can hold it more like a pen.

This is a cathedral that I made with my Father-in-law (who is a bit of an artist, unlike myself) Its mostly card, plaster and lots and lots of dry brushing. The floor is polystyrene done as described above, but with a longer piece of metal. The statue was made from either papier mache or clay (i dont remember) It was then painted up in a copper verdigris style.

Here is a burnt forest, the trees were made with copper wire (lots!) twisted together and then sculpted with papier mache. I kind of like the random terrain rules in 6th, thought not everyone does, and this is great for the forests.

This is the last thing i did. It is like a toy digger jcb thing from a shop. I cut it at an obtuse angle and layered into a base. I then primed it, gave it a salt mask with a rusty undercoat. Then put a few coats of green over the top. After that I varnish it and gave it a wash in oil paints, then pigment powders.

Here is a close up of one of the missus' tac marines. I did a few custom bases for her. Also we're loving the airbrush for quick highlights.


Anyway, Ive got some new eldar on the way. I dont get to play as much where i live as its out of the way a bit, but hopefully ill get a chance to play a few more games when I can get to the nearest club.

Sorrry for the wall of text, but its been a while and im a bit enthusiastic hah! Ill put up some more close ups of my minis in the next one. Also if vincent and werewolf for reigniting my love for the hobby. :D
 
What do we think of this as a tiled base for my Wraithblades?



Took ******* ages and now I have fingers covered in superglue :p Might do the rest as straight edged, curves are a pain.
 
Compass cutter may help a little. It looks really good and I think straight edges would not suit it as much.

With all the interruptions I've had this weekend, on top of not being able to work for long due to a problem with my arm, I only managed to build the Farseer, Spiritseer and five Dire Avengers. :(
 
Productive weekend. Assembled 10 Pathfinders and a Broadside from my bag of goodies. Loved the pathfinder kit as so customisable. I have even magnetised 3 of them to allow choice of special weapons or carbines.

Ordered up another box of Pathfinders and a Forgeworld Commander R'Alai too so should get them this week.

Might get a first coat of white on tonight with the airbrush so I can get them all ready to use in games. Hate using grey plastic!
 
That would be the one :) I do think I need a couple of squads of XV9's to support him though. Thankfully might be some more commission work coming up so I can avoid having to pay out any cash!

Gotta love his assault lascannon lol
 
I could do with a couple of games for the upcoming season 2. If no one has taken orks, can I take them? If they've already been taken I'll just take whatever is left :p
 
Of course you can Gooner, we can have people doing the same race as well. Seven confirmed so far, would be great if we could get one more for 4v4 :)

I'm fine with any evening.
 
Cool. I roughly know what my 2k army will be but need to test a 500 and 1000pt army too. I should be available one evening later this week providing BT sort my internet out.

You should check out Vassal! http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18523704 [/stuckrecord][/shamelessplug]

Nice terrain, that statue is excellent!

Ah ty, I have used vassal very briefly and i also used a java applet to play bloodbowl (before the pc game) Im a bit busy this week, but ill see how my new schedule turns out. If i do join ill probably play nids'. Ive just ordered some new eldar, but the book i know is nids. I see in the thread that spamming frowned upon, ill try not to do that, but the book is on the limited side.

Nice runic flooring, very eldar. I did a cobble stone floor for the missus' libbie. Ill put a close up on when i get the chance.

Ty mate! I do more terrain than minis tbh, I really like building stuff. I have a project log on ammo bunker, I dunno if vincent posts in this thread much, but he recommended it. Its a bit on the quiet side, but the people are really friendly. I dunno if i am allowed to link it tbh. Ill put some more pics up if people are interested. I have a step by step of my table also.

cant see any issue with linking to it, thought then only rule on those grounds was linking to OCUK competitors.

Yes I would be very interested, especially in the step by step :)
 
So im putting together a 750pt list for my Salamanders as my mate who just started Tau would like to get going once hes assembled a few more models so far my list is this based on what I have

Captain, Thunder Hammer, Storm Shield, Artificer Armour

Dreadnought 2X Twin Linked Auto Cannon

2x Tactical Squads with Melta/Multi Melta


Now this leaves me with 115 points spare which makes me wonder between

Whirlwind - I dont see these getting a lot of love but I think for 85points an AP4 pie plate that doesnt need line of sight could do wonders against Tau infantry

Thunderfire - Everyone seems to love these so wouldnt mind trying one out. Also the Techmarine can repair the Dread that will probably be nearby

Vindicator - Will help take out crisis suits but is obviously much shorter ranged. Cheaper to buy since its not direct like the other two.

Whats anyones opinions? Anything else I should consider for 115pts? 2nd Dread?
