its gorgeous. took me 4 hours to build him & he is huge. Have a couple of the mortarch kits coming too, most likely for arkhan & neferata. Give me a good choice of characters to go in my tomb kings army for the end times campaign I'm organising at work

Can anyone who paints the Necrons give me any tips on how to paint the command barge?
Not sure how I want to tackle it. I only use brushes aswell and not air brush lol

Went to a second hand furniture shop to pick up a table for a family member, it was a large warehouse type place. Anyway whilst queuing up to pay, a small logo caught my eye from the opposite side of the warehouse.
I went over to investigate further and amongst all the second hand toys and games I found the 40k second edition box set! It was all taped up so I had no idea what was inside.
I took it over to the counter and asked the guy if I could have a look, opened it up and I was surprised to find all the original stuff was there apart from the rule book, codex and war gear book (which was a bit of a disappointment).
The price on the box was £7 after being marked down from £8. I offered the guy a £5er which he accepted and put it through the till (recorded as brick-a-brack).
I got it home and had another look through, some of the cards have been removed from the sprues and the box is a bit battered but I'd hazard a guess this has never actually been used. I was particularly pleased that all the original terrain was still there and untouched.
Anyway I popped on ebay and managed to find the books (all 3 for £12) so it's now a complete set again, can't be many like this kicking around so thought I would share, made me feel about 10 years old again
. Not sure what I'm going to do with it but might hang onto it for a little while and enjoy some of the art and fiction in the books
Anyway here are some pics:

^ Nice. I have the rules for 2nd edition and have been tempted to give it a try. I'm told it's quite fun. 
I saw this video earlier and I have to say, the timing is looking good. I was thinking about getting back into painting and finishing my Eldar and Space Marines, when I find that Vallejo are making airbrush versions of the Game Color range. Could be rather handy. I'm quite impressed by how the metallics look here, to be honest!
The extra primer colours could be useful, too, although I'm likely to carry on using either black or grey.

Long time since I posted in this thread. Tau have been updated and collected some more commissions. I'll post pics tomorrow.
In the meantime myself me 3 or 4 others are heading to warhammer world on the 20th if anyone fancies coming down for a beer and a game. We have 2 tables booked including a big apoc on so will be playing a big game all day. It seems to be busy that day but be nice to meet other gamers!

Ohh. Tempting. Although I may get killed by the wife if I buy it. Trying to convince her I need more riptides as forgeworld releasing another variant soon. How many MCs is too many?
Realised I forgot pics too so here are a couple. Nothing special.

So ignore the super manky wall. The place will be getting redecorated eventually but I've now managed to get a painting area/room. It was the room I stuck the gaming table in but there wasn't that much room really and I need a painting area more

I like the metal, I'd say the blood on the skin is perhaps a touch bright? Could just be the photo though.
Blood looks about right for me bearing in mind the model probs won't have direct light on it all the time. Looks about right of arterial blood anyway 
For me its the trousers that are a bit bright, maybe try putting some sepia on them?

Yeah its not the best light. I don't think it's as bright as it looks in the photo it's just the blood for the blood god paint. The metal is just leadbelcher then typhus corrosion. It's great stuff.
The trousers are because I couldn't find my khorne red and I used mephiston instead since it was a just a test. I agree though I won't use that in the main army.
