Even though I've got loads to paint I've got my eye on beasts of chaos starter box when the contrast paints come out, fancy a Khorne themed beasts of Chaos army....

When is the contrast paints coming out?
It looks like the new paints are going up for pre-order on the 8th for release on the 15th.
I renewed my interest in AoS mainly to paint them. Spent a fortune on more models but have had to put them in the loft until I've sorted our my games room.
Does anyone else have dedicated painting stations?
I have a shed to make my terrain . As to storing it all, I'll have to figure that one out. I have all my Kill Team terrain in a box. I have decided to put together a few 500 point (or so) AoS armies and have been making up a load of foam hills and what not.
I wanted a model painting station that is mobile. I bought one of the 4 layer laser cut paint holders and fixed it to a slopped board about 14" x 16". It gives me enough room left to separately keep 8+ models and a clear painting area. Means I can put it on my computer desk when in use and shelve it when not. To paint the new AoS armies I'm going to need about 10 more paints, so I'm thinking of getting the GW hexagonal paint holders to cope with the extra pots.
"Titan hunters"I played that the first time it came out as a boxed game. Shame it doesn't have the teeny people this time
Now...I've been mulling something over for a while and can't seem to get a firm answer on this.
The AM codex states the following about Heavy Weapons Squads:
This unit contains 3 Heavy Weapons Teams. Each model is armed with a lasgun and frag grenades.
Each model must take an item from the Heavy Weapons list.
Is it just me or is this particularly unclear on how many models the teams are made up of? The kit from GW has basically 1 gunner and 1 spotter however there's nothing I can see in the rules that says this is the case. As far as I'm concerned the team could be 1 model or 100. This also seems to mean that each team could have a mix of multiple heavy weapons. Even if it's just the case where there's 1 gunner and 1 spotter, as written it seems to say the spotter can also take a heavy weapon.
I've searched high and low for FAQ's on the matter but there doesn't seem to be a clarification anywhere and what seems to be done is that each 'model' is a gunner and spotter as per the boxed set with 1 heavy weapon and 1 lasgun.
I know it's hardly comprehensive, but the description for heavy weapon teams on the GW website states "Each team of two can be equipped with any one of the following weapons: lascannon, heavy bolter, missile launcher, autocannon or mortar. It is possible to give all teams the same heavy weapons to build a support squad."
I agree the term 'model' is slightly confusing as there are two figurines on a single base, but I think it's pretty certain that it's one heavy weapon, one lasgun and frag grenades per two-figurine model.
I agree with your conclusion and that's certainly how I play them however I just think the rule as written is terribly unclear!
Yea it is to be fair. I am not familiar with the imperial guard codex, but many wounds does "each model" have?
