Tabletop Warhammer?

Painted AGES ago, looking back at it it looks rather shoddy, really don't know what i was thinking when i painted the Force Weapon!

Another old model. I made the mistake in using the GW spray 'matt' varnish on my earlier miniatures.

Love the Ultramarines Terminator Syph!
 
Just this minute finished painting Prince Apophas.

I think the blue and yellow contrast niceley and go with the rest of the model, bringing some color to a dark scarab based guy.

I'm going down with my brother, I'm hoping it'll be good but if it's like last year I'm going to be dead on my feet by lunchtime, and looking like someone cosplaying as an undead by about 3 :)
 
Haha yeah I know the feeling there. Last year I was up at 6am to drive down wich took till 10:30 then when it threw out I had to drive back home again which due to work being done on the M1 it took me 6 hours to get home again. I pretty much collapsed when I got home. This time im breaking it up and going to a mates in Leeds for a day before the event then driving down from there and going back to Leeds for a few days afterwards.

I dont think there will be as much as last year like, the movie was a big attraction last year and thats out now. If your into the literature then they do one called Black Library Live around Easter down at GW HQ in Birmingham which was a pretty cool day out and since its limited to 300 tickets or something you get more time with the writers.
 
Not quite sure what to make of this

Could be fun, could be dire. Chances are they will have it at games day, so if anyone gets a chance to play it, or see it being played I wouldn't mind your thoughts on it
 
I've been really eager past year to start up another army, i used to have a 3000 ultramarines army about 7 years ago been wanting to start up an imperial guard army :)
 
scuttlebutt says that in jan/feb we might be getting a mixed release of mini's, including IG vets/stormtroopers and another two IG kits, or so i hear.


edit : Plastic kits i hear, not metal/finecast

I suspect if they're going to be released in October, or any time reasonably soon we'll see some at Games Day.
I'm looking forward to seeing what the Dreadfleet thing looks like in the flesh, as well as some of the ratty bits, and I'm hoping like mad for some news of new Tau (their codex is getting on, and I don't think they've made most of the "metals" available as finecast yet so I'm half expecting something).

I learned an important lesson last year about Games day, a 4gb memory card (with a spare 2gb one), and a single li-ion battery isn't enough:p
I think I took about 200+ pictures, this year i'm taking a pair of 8gb cards and a spare battery :)

I'll probably post a few pics here if no one else does, although my photography skills are best described as "hope for the best" :p
 
would love to see a good spread of gamesday pics, used to love the white dwarf coverage they did, but that was years back, is it me or does the event only get a dozen pages or so at best these days?
 
After a visit to my parents house last week, I discovered that Mum gave away all my 40k stuff (a large Ork army), several Necromunda gangs (Van Saar, Scavvy and a set of Spyrers), and my Chaos Battlefleet Gothic fleet. I wasn't bothered about the Orks, but everything else has left me absolutely gutted. In her defence, I haven't lived there for 10 years, and I'd more or less forgotten that she still had it all :(

I'll try and post some (maybe a separate thread to keep this one clear), but I'm very much of the "take a lot and hope" type (my Panasonic TZ7 is great at making my pictures look reasonable).

Would be awesome if we had a subforum for wargaming/modelling, but I don't think it's popular enough to warrant that :p

Someone remind me the best way to paint and highlight Terminator skull emblems and wings please ?

I have skull white, bleached bone and black and mud washes.

What chapter/legion are they? From what ive seen you could go a few different ways with an extra paint or two, but it depends on the colour of your marines.

Had a quick look over on BnC in the painting section and found this guide on chest eagles, need to have bestial brown but most people have it lurking about somewhere.
