Tabletop Warhammer?

Vassal was really good. Good practice ground for learning the game. I sucked (and still do) but was useful for playing with someone who knew the rules who fancied games.

At one point I think we even tried starting a mini league sort of thing but it kind of withered on the vine.

It was great fun.
 
Ah thanks for the info. Makes me feel like a dummy for spending hundred and hundreds on the plastic models :o :( :p

Did the gold edging and shading on the cawl metallics... worried I’m going to ruin it with the reds... really hard to get shading right on non metals.

I feel this is an optimistic second choice for my second unit :o don’t worry he’s not fully glued together yet!

I've always loved the Cawl model, very gothic/steam punk. Doing a great job!

Cheers yeah that’s what drew them to me too... plus I like the idea of a dubious group perusing science with religious zelousy :D

I reckon it will take me months to build and paint everything I have. I can see why people buy them pre-painted but it is quite therapeutic building them yourself :)
 
I've decided that this year I'm going to try and get some use out of my daemons (I bought the megaforce set about 10 years ago), as I'm going to a weekend of gaming later this year, unfortunately that set doesn't give me many points these days.
So I've sort of had a minor slip up and ordered the start collecting Tzeench and Khorne sets to try and get back into actually making and painting the models, and I'm guessing the plastic pink horrors and flamers will be a lot nicer to work with than the old metal ones (I had to keep superglue with the completed models as invariably in any game one or two flamers would lose at least one arm).

I'm going to do what I did when making my tyranids and stick a 3x2mm magnet in the base of each model so that I can transport them in a really useful box if going by car, rather than foam cases (place some "metal paper" in the bottom of a 4l realy useful box and it'll hold 80+ models with the magnets stopping them sliding around and let you put them in/out easily whilst gaming).
 
With the pending release of all of the new Nurgle models, Me moving house at the end of the month and having WAY more room for activities... I may pick this back up again and SLOWLY look at painting some Nurgle models. My problem is I go in and buy a pack of models, Then a week later go and buy more....then more...then more and before I know It I have like 50 models to paint and give up as I feel it is a daunting task.

MODERATION is the key I think
 
Happens to us all, and then when you purposely try to restrain yourself, you'll get bought a bunch of models for Christmas/birthday :p

I'm having a big focus now on completing my backlog, and prioritising my painting over playing computer games unnecessarily.

My current to do list consists of:
In progress:

Untouched:
I think that's all of it..... Quite a decent amount of project work, that's for sure! Happy 2018 everyone :p :D

Moderation and Warhammer are two things that don't go together for me :D

The Nurgle and Death Guard models are absolutely awesome, I really think GW did such a cracking job with the overall release.
 
Speaking of moderation, I couldn’t decide whether I wanted my space wolf dreadnaught to be:

Murderfang
Bjorn the Felhanded
Blizzard shield

So I bought three for one of each.

Maybe I’ll get round to them this year?

:o :o :o

I wish the Nurgle stuff was a little darker and less 'comic'. Typhus in particular is a terrible sculpt, I like some of them though.

Typhus was probably my least favourite out of the whole release to be fair, his pose isn't great and I really didn't like the destroyer hive coming from his back (although you can build it without). The old Typhus was better I thought.
 
I definitely prefer the older Typhus model. I do however love the Mortarion, Deathshroud Bodyguards and the new Unclean One\Rotigus Models.

What paints do people use? The GW ones\Reaper paints?

Right most marine was my first middle one my second (you can see why I was annoyed with my garbage first attempt at shading :D) the third on the left is my newest I just finished yesterday and I'm much happier with the improvement from one to the next, the shading is a lot better if still a little rough.

On to my fourth now and getting on to the drybrushing to add a little more again hopefully, still really pleased with my progress but not ready to touch the Necromunda miniatures yet!

Be careful with the dry brushing... you need a really, really small amount on it.... otherwise you dust the whole model. Was a bit annoying I made some of the gold silver on my cawl attempt.
 
Yeah I'm expecting some rough results first few tries but find myself enjoying the process of improving. Just wish I had a bit more time to paint but there you go! Onward and upward (hopefully :p)
