Tabletop Warhammer?

When is the new SM stuff due?

Would imagine September WD will have it all in for pre-order a week later, and I think WD is out GD weekend, so will imagine you will be able to buy it at GD and not wait a week.

I dont think I am a fan of the new SM - I got myself a terminator squad with a Lord on the bay. do you think that is a good edtion to my army? I have a auto cannon, Lord with Power Claws and i think one looks like a combi flamer

 

[No1newts]

Not in time for you to use the codex in the tournament

Haha

Taken from Bolter and Chainsword who got the info from warseer.com

Up for release in September is the new Codex: Space Marines.

- There will be 7 Ltd Ed varients. 6 of these will be covers for First Founding chapters, whilst the 7th will have Black Templars on the cover.

- New weapon family: Grav weapons. I believe these wound against the armour save (so terminators would be wounded as if they had a toughness of 2).

- First Founding chapters will be getting a substantial section each to themselves, so hopefully this can be looked as as Codex: Space Marines instead of Codex: Ultramarines. This will also show in a rule called Chapter Tactics, for which the effects depend on the chapter being played.

- There is a new armour type that at first glance looks to be somewhere between a terminator and a dreadnought - looking more closely, it appears to go over the marine's power armour however.
- This new armour can be armed in 2 ways, depending on the user. The devastator version has either a bolter array or missile launchers mounted on the chest armour, whilst the gauntlets can be armed with heavy bolters, lascannons or grav cannons. The assault version has a bolter array or frag launchers mounted on the chest armour, with assault drills mounted on the gauntlets.

- There are 2 new AA tanks. One tank veterans will already be familiar with as the Hunter, armed an AA missile launcher. The other tank mounts 2 tri-barreled turrets instead.

- There is a new tactical squad. Lots of options as you'd expect, but of particular interest will probably be the grav pistol and grav rifle.

- A new plastic Sternguard veteran squad.

- A new plastic Vanguard veteran squad.

- New plastic characters: a captain, a librarian and a chaplain.

So, a quick browse through ebay during my lunch break has resulted in me watching 16 auctions

The highlight being that someone has listed ghazzy as an ork dreadnought which I'm hoping slips under the radar

Look at this custom built, errrr...... thing

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Warhammer...39?pt=UK_Toys_Wargames_RL&hash=item4d10789a2f

Can I have one of these in the vassal game

 

[JHeaton]

Awesome! There's some really good stuff on eBay at the moment. I ended up buying a few Menoth items earlier in the week, and currently have this on my watch list. There's about £550 of models there, so if it stays below £200 (unlikely) I'd almost be tempted.

I've gone from owning no Eldar models to owning:

10 Scorpions
5 Rangers
2 Farseers
2 War Walkers

In about 2 weeks due to Ebay. I've almost doubled my feedback

Nice! Are all Sisters of battle models metal? I was looking at some a few weeks ago and they look fun to paint.

I'm watching a load of battlewagons, bikers, trukks and a few meganobs. Normally you'd be hard pressed to find any battlewagons at a realistic price and unassembled and meganobs are just hard to come by full stop. Good bye bank balance

Ebay is a bugger for that All I seem to do is keep adding to my army but not actually paint or assemble anything Hopefully I'll get my arse into gear after the summer

 

[Shamikebab]

I've done step 1.

Step 1: Stop buying things.

Step 2 is going less well.

Step 2: Paint things

I'm not sure about the Penitent Engine or Throne of Judgement (though I suspect they are), but I believe everything else is metal, including the additional components to turn the Rhino base into an Exorcist or Immolator. I would actually love to get hold of that bundle for a decent price, but it's probably a bad idea considering everything else I'm currently working on/going to be working on next.

 

[Woogie]

I need to find the blinking space to do it, My house is currently in a mess By time I get around to it Ill be buying new paints and that again lol. Very tempted to get an air brush when I start again. Especially as I am having a 8ft x 20ft x 7 1/2 ft shed built in the back garden with a work bench lol

If you buy it now, you can save it for a rainy day

I would love to have large space like that to do my painting. At the moment I'm having to paint on my computer desk

Don't tempt me!

Computer desk is all I have at the moment. It's big enough, I guess, but I'd like more dedicated soace for it. Luckily it is next to a window, at least, so I can get away with airbrushing in here for the moment.

I think its more of a case of being bothered to get all my paints out and then pack them away once I've finished. I can be quite lazy at times

 

[Gooner Leroy]

Has anyone stripped paint from a finecast model before?

 

[JHeaton]

Yup, used Fairy Power Spray for it. Soaked the model, then the paint just lifted off without doing any harm to the material.

 

[Gooner Leroy]

Ah, brilliant! I usually use dettol but for finecast I was very hesitant. Fairy Power Spray it is. Thanks

 

[clartymarty]

I use Fairy Power Spray and it works a treat!

 

[Brabbinho]

Do you leave the figures to soak in the powerspray?

 

[w3bbo]

Dettol works fine BUT do not use a toothbrush to scrub the model as the paint 'jellifies' and becomes a sticky substance which the toothbrush then spreads across the figure make a right old mess.

I leave mine to soak in dettol overnight then blast them with cold water which does a great job of lifting the old paint off without leaving a sticky residue behind.
