Ahh thanks, that looks like a good technique for painting the honoured imperium statue.

I really like the idea of those bases but as Shami said the cost of greenstuff may get expensive, depends if you can find greenstuff cheap somewhere... Still might be nice for characters or a specific unit you want to stand out.

use to collect it a few years ago but never really got into the gaming part of it as the drive was just too long. had a decent Tau/Kroot army that was about 2500+ points including a lot of forgeworld stuff like the Barracuda and Tiger-shark. also had a necron battalion and a few other bits. use to love trying to make them a little bit unique more than anything else

I looked at it...and decided that in the long run the green stuff costs would be pretty significant. I think I'd much rather use other materials like cork/sand/bark etc.

I hadn't thought of that, although I may end up spending some time tomorrow (if I get the chance) looking at other suppliers of greenstuff (I think my brother uses a third party version that is considerably cheaper), and possibly other materials

AOD, is that Heroquest the old MB board game that was basically Warhammer Fantasy in a box for beginners? (I've still got about 4 boxes of Space Crusade in the loft, although some of the models might have been used for Space marines at some point).

No, it's Warhammer Quest, the significantly more mature successor to HeroQuest, actually produced by Games Workshop. It's considered by many to be one of the finest games GW ever released, if for nothing else than how insanely fun it is to play.

It's essentially Space Hulk, but a little more refined (it came six years later) and set in the Warhammer Fantasy Universe and playable with up to four people (five if the GM doesn't play a character).

It's been out of production for a long time, complete sets on eBay go for crazy amounts! :eek:

That does look pretty cool.

On a related note, I am open to suggestions on how to paint the Marines I bought. Mainly because I'm too lazy to come up with ideas myself.

Salamanders, always Salamanders.

I've put together the Space Wolf and Blood Angel today. Just doing the Storm Warden.

I'm playing warhammer quest on the IOS these days, great game!

Is it possible to get the Dark Heresy stuff in the dropbox? Interested to read a bit more of the rules and possible characters.

Brabbinho · 10 Sep 2013 at 19:20

Anyone found a pdf of Imperial armour 12? Want to read about the Minotaurs but the version I located is all jumbled up and a pain to read

At this rate I'll just have to buy it lol

Shamikebab · 10 Sep 2013 at 19:24

Re: Dark Heresy, I'll add it to the bonus folder

I have a version of IA 12 but it may be the same one.

Unfortunately I don't have any iOS devices, I'm told it's great fun, but doesn't quite compare to the real thing.

It's a shame Warhammer Quest is so hard to come by these days

Shamikebab · 10 Sep 2013 at 19:28

I'm looking at how much the Space Marine limited edition codices are going for ebay and kicking myself

Pudney · 10 Sep 2013 at 19:29

Cheers Shami, r.e. the Minotaurs, I had a look on Lexicanum and the fluff looks all to be from IA 10.

Brabbinho · 10 Sep 2013 at 19:31

Ah cool- Ill re-read that book then- I was focusing on Astral Claws when I last read that book

Stunning, if I ever get a contempter it will be the Minotaurs one, beautiful miniature.

Dan, you should be able to just add pudney to the existing shared folder. think its open to members adding.
plus if are all in the same dropbox sharing character sheets will be easier.
