@No1newts - That's a great job! I really like the rust effect on the weapon and the oxidization on the metal. Very Nurgly!

Cheers

I've finished my last two marines and the whole squad at last, really feel like I'm starting to make a little progress.

Also, had a bolt of inspiration and decided to paint a Marine in the Golden Gryphon colours, pretty happy with the results.

Once again sorry for the picture quality, I can never seem to get them to take well.

Loving the deathguard, I've always had a soft spot for those little gribbly fellas, I remember the original plastic plague marines from was away back when.

I'm nearing getting there on my knight, just needs a few more transfers, some tidying up and a coat of varnish. Thanks for all the positive comments

I'm so incredibly tempted, it would be my first forray into AoS. The minis are so nice!!

I've never played it, or 40k, but I do enjoy the painting side.

@vincent1989 I actually still have some of the old death guard, standing in the brace position with the huge plague knife and boltgun

When you take pictures how do you get the quality? I've got a good camera but miniature pictures are always dross for some reason. The marines above look better than on the photos and it's blinking irritating!

Ah right ok so it's as a painting project then. Nothing wrong with that, they look like lovely miniatures to paint!

GW released a pretty good article on taking photos. Not sure if it will help:

I do intend to play - probably against No1newts as we split Dark Imperium, I just haven't yet!
There's a few local groups as well - but one is fully-painted only - they'll not be seeing me any time soon

I'm trying to bargain with my wife so she will take the kids out for a day so I can plow through my backlog.

Upped my army to 1.2k and I have 14 death guard, 3 deathshroud, sorcerer, hellbrute and 40 poxwalkers

If she doesn't I truly never expect to finish this year

I'm not sure one day is going to save you!

True

I am really jelous of your painting ability Vincent

That knight is looking so great.

In the mean time I'm working on my Lord of Skulls and thinking I'm probably going to end up taking it to my weekend of gaming with about half it's weight being blutack so I can continue painting it after

(it's taken me about 4 days so far just to do the first level of brass on the blood tanks as it's all small detail/careful work).

Not looking for more DG are you? I've still got the entire Dark Imperium box sitting here that I can't afford the time to start

I would actually buy the the 7 marines, 20 poxwalkers and the blight drone off you.

PM me if you want.

Sent you a message

I think, against my better judgement, I'm going to get the titanicus when its out, the models look amazing and is a chance to own a knight/titan without all that painting.. haha

Pinged you one back.

@Pookie Bear first of the month and I've already broke my vow to purchase no more models in July

For anyone that's been trying to get hold of them, the Citadel Painting handles seem to be back in stock/coming back into stock at some retailers (I ordered some from Element who were showing them as expected Friday, and GW have them in stock).

I wanted one of them! Thanks for the heads up.

Werewolf · 2 Jul 2018 at 21:32

Just one?

I've been waiting for them get come back into stock since my brother got five on release, I ended up ordering 10

(several of my regular play group seem to be after 5-10 each).

Pookie Bear · 3 Jul 2018 at 12:02

I just messaged the local shop to see if they have any in.

Not sure I need that many - I'm not very quick at painting, although I do like to do them in batches.

Pookie Bear · 3 Jul 2018 at 12:04

While I've only been in the hobby a few months, I've already collected a fair amount of 40k stuff (and my Ultramarines contingent is up to 23 painted models!), I was pleased to see the updated Age of Sigmar come out and I got Soul Wars this weekend. I really like the Stormcast Eternals.

I'm a little stuck on what to get to bolster their numbers a little. Does anyone have any advice on that front?
