Tabletop Warhammer?

The new version of 40k is now up for pre-order, well the new limited edition start box, at £65, which is actually less than I was expecting (by a fiver).

2 copies ordered, one for myself, and one for my brother.
 
Getting back into the "scene" after 20+ years away.

Am off to the Stockport Gaming Centre tomorrow to sample a few games! Also just got a load of Space Wolves on order....bring it on :)
 
The models in the new box look pretty good, especially for the price:p

I'm planning on using the Chaos force as backups for my Daemons I think ;)
 
currently painting up the dark angels from the new box. For models that are mostly only 3 peices, they are damn nice. Chipped in witha friend for the box, I already have the rules, so just wanted the dark angels.

Haven't really got much done lately as moved house & had to get everything else sorted before I could set up the gaming room.
 
Tell me about not much done :p
I've been on the same bunch of Skaven since about march (the IOB ones)*, I'm hoping to get them done, then be able to speed up a lot more on the next batch.

*I'm slow at painting anyway and the forums etc eat into that time.
 
I'm not the quickest painter at the best of times tbh & its only going to get worse, got a little nipper due at end of year, so thats gonna kill a lot of the time I get for hobby stuff. Currently trying to get a WHFB army (chaos) & 40K army (dark angels) painted before the little un arrives, so I can then use the little time I'll have for some games.
 
Wow is this still going. I still have a complete army at my Dads house of ultra marine. 100 marines, 4 dreadnaughts, 1 landspeeder, a couple of rhinos and predators.

All painted in basic colours and about a third done up properly with shading and highlights. I gave up playing just as the necrons (I think thats what they are called) came on the scene.

Used to have full battle games at a friends house with four of us. The games used to take virtually all day and first late at night. Brilliant fun!
 
Got the Dark Vengeance set the other day. I must say, the sculpts for the chaos side especially are superb. It's easily the best starter box set GW have put out. In my mind it's actually making a lot of their older stuff look very shabby. They've also gone out of their way to make the mold lines follow edges in the sculpts, so there is not so much clean up work to be done. Minimal green stuff touch ups to be done as on a couple of the Chosen models the joins cross a shoulder pad edge, but nothing too difficult.

Their pricing model is a joke, but you can't say they aren't continuing to up their game quality wise.
 
Decided that I'm going to be painting some models from each 40k army for a display collection. I don't see me playing the game but painting is something I enjoy.

I already have marines and orcs from the Blackreach boxset plus a bunch of marines from when I used to play, will add a couple of extra units to the orcs. I have a leman russ and a squad of Imperial guard plus a Baneblade which I will finish. Just need to think on some Eldar, Tyranid and Necron units.

These will be going into a tall glass cabinet with a few other collectible bits I have when we buy a house next year :D
 
Thought I might get into painting again after about 15 years and finally got round to getting my hands on some figures to paint. Ended up paying £20 (not inc p&p) for 1 ork warboss, 10 shooter boyz, 6 nobz and 18 boyz. not bad if I say so myself :cool:

Anyway, after asking on here and heeding other people's advice, I shall be using Vallejo paints. Now, where is the best place to get them from? (preferably online). Wayland games seemed ok but didn't have all the ones I wanted, in stock plus they were short on the washes/inks etc. I'm trying to order everything from the same place (less hassle). If anyone can help, i'd very much appreciate it.

Hopefully it turns out how I would like it, it's where I half hinched the idea from :D

Get some pictures up of what you buy and what you paint :) If I get round to painting this weekend I'll get something up.
 
maelstrom games used to be a good place to get vallejo paints and GW stuff, but pretty much everyone I've talked to who has ordered from them recently has complaints about delays.

I use snmstuff for vallejo air brush paints, and they're usually good, they aslo do the full range of Vallejo paints from memory (everything from model and game colour to the big bottles of vallejo coloured primers for the Air Brush - red, greens, greys, yellow etc).

Maelstrom have been having loads of legal hassle holding up their warehouse move for the last few months. I understand they are trying to hold as little stock as possible and all their picking and packing systems are in transition. I hope once they move things should improve again.

I just wish they could stick 2 fingers up to Battlefront and start allowing their discounts on Flames Of War minis again :(
 
Used to collect and paint these as a kid, and after reading this thread I have the itch to have another go at it.

Where's a good place to start? Any like starter kits or anything like that?
