nice to see people got good christmas hauls, started on my forgefiend today, tempted to attempt magnetising it so that I can swap out the guns. Had a look at my girlfriends centurion kit, those models are awesome and great quality, the parts feel really solid and minimal mould lines. I really hope that is the quality we can expect for later kits.

Easy to do with magnetising the weapons on the Forgefiend, done it myself.

Think I used 5 or 6mm magnets in the socket of the guns, then sliced off half the ball joint for the other magnet.

Also magnetized the head as well.

I would say however the way the mauler-fiend is built it would be very hard but not impossible to have a dual kit built

Build the rear & gun assembly as one peice. Build the forward struts as another & fit together after painting. It will still clip together for gaming if needs be before you finish it

Thats great thank you, I will give this ago!

Had my redundancy from blockbusters come through today, so went on a bit of a spending spree at work

got me an ogre kingdoms army as Ive been toying with the idea of one for months & I love the stonehorn/thundertusk kit. Not planned army yet but have loads of models to play with. Got 2x battalions, 2x mornfang cavalry, 2x stonehorns & a giant.

Have an idea for a conversion on the giant & am going to try converting up a tyrant & butcher from the plastic ogres.

But for now Im going to read through the army book. Will start a thread when Im ready to start building it all up.

First time doing a snow base what do you guys think?

aceytrixx · 5 Jan 2014 at 18:00

Never realised quite how big the guns are on those warriors.
As far as the base goes it's looking pretty good

Tried doing a bolter red today as I thought I had seen artwork like that in the past and thought it might add some colour to the model. Not sure about it though

Still need to do a bit of wash in the recesses and maybe try some highlighting etc

clartymarty · 6 Jan 2014 at 10:06

The warrior isnt complete btw

lol still need to do some edge highlighting with the blue but scared to do it lol

Sorry for bad photos

Brabbinho · 6 Jan 2014 at 21:34

I like the snow effect

Which technique are you using?

clartymarty · 6 Jan 2014 at 21:35

Bicarbonate of soda and pva glue mixed together I am going to retake them with the missus's camera and get better ones they look rubbish now i am on my computer.

EDIT: I have replaced the photos for better ones

I like the scheme on the necrons, just not sure about the snow, it just looks a bit flat and almost blobbed on there with a brush

clartymarty · 9 Jan 2014 at 15:55

yeah I have noticed that they have gone like that, this is my first batch but the next lot look a lot better. I don’t think i got the right mix tbh. They are only table top standard atm I am not the best painter

Started painting my chaos lord today (one from DV) keeping with my pimp theme e has a green cloak and green helmet. I didn't fancy trying my luck at leap pars skin cloak.

Since the sword arm is separate you should turn it into a pimp cane.

lordhughes · 10 Jan 2014 at 10:02

Haha, if only green stuff skills extended that far.

finally did the last touches to my first bike squad and painted my honoured imperium statue.

used the oxide technical paint on the statue, gave some nice results with minimal effort.

aceytrixx · 12 Jan 2014 at 17:42

I bought the oxide paint to do my statue with aswell. Good to see it works well.

lordhughes · 12 Jan 2014 at 17:51

just be careful with it, easy to go overboard as i did on one or two bits.

Cheers I'll keep that in mind when I get around to it.

I'm currently contemplating my next army (next year probably as I'll no doubt want a pc upgrade at some point) and im still getting really drawn to heresy era Thousand Sons. Probably two books to go until FW do Prospero but it was such a great BL book.

ShadowMan · 13 Jan 2014 at 16:26

I'm in the opposite boat. I am about to clear a load of Tau out just to pay for my upgrades to my PC lol.

Really must get them sorted through this week. Thanks for reminder! Anyone want any let me know btw.
