I assume you do know, but if not make sure you wash all your FW stuff in hot soapy water first before building it to get rid of all the mold release

Even washing FW miniatures several times in hot/warm soapy water and scrubbing with a toothbrush i've still encountered adhesion issues with most acrylics.

I did know this but (and this is gonna potentially sound stupid) does the same apply to brass etch?

I tend to use hot water and the cheapest toothpaste I can find, which is a tip from the FW guys, as the toothpaste is slightly abrasive so does it a bit better.

Do not think you need to wash brass etch I never have

Anyone going to Games Day next weekend?

And if so remember it's at the NIC not the NEC this year!

Think I might have a spare one somewhere. Give me a few days to look. It's yours when it turns up if you like.

NEC was great for the locality of the Hilton Metropole hotel and secure decent car parks. Can't say the same for the NIA in central Birmingham...

Not to mention the ease of access via the train station.

I'm glad that this year I'm getting a lift with some friends, as it's too far for me to drive, and (no offence intended to any GW staff or people that go by the coaches), I really don't want to go by coach with a load of kids

I figured I would still be working however looks like I wont be so I never looked into it. Damn.

Don't see why people are hating on the NIA instead of NEC. The NEC was a great location yeah but the NIA has plenty of hotels within a 2 minute walking distance and plenty of secure parking as well, It's just in the centre of Birmingham instead of Just off the M6

Hence the problem for security of vehicles

Well we had a pretty successful Dark Heresy session last night, we started a bit rusty but generally got into the swing of things and by the end we were rollplaying like bosses. Highlight has to be one of the characters attempting to punch a guy lying on the ground, missing and breaking his hand on the metal floor

I parked my car there every day for 5 years (often leaving it overnight if I went out for a drink after work) as did many of my friends and never once had any issues

Oi, don't rain on my Birmingham-bashing parade!

I've parked a few types of vehicles at the Metropole and had no issues, but can't say i'm ever overjoyed at parking in Birmingham at any time!

Indeed it was great fun to GM too

Another highlight would be the acolyte who took a swing at some gangers missed and almost decapitated a nearby friendly. But as we got further in you guys became much more comfortable and started formulating some great plans

After never intending to have my acolytes engage in hand shenanigans, having the first fight start like that and me ending up punching the floor has taught me an important lesson

I am looking at trying a different war game out other than 40k, I love the building and painting side of things aswell.

I tend to do this with my brother so anything that is suggested I will look into it as we both need to give it ago!
