Very tempted

Black Talons assembled tonight the cloaks have not been glued on yet as they will be painted first then added after the rest of the figures have been painted.

I will get some primer airbrushed on them tomorrow.

Cheers All

Love this set and I'm very tempted even if I still have a metric ton to build and paint. Wasn't long ago I bought the original Neave Blacktalon and then they bring out an upgraded one.

I still can't decide if I like them adding the moulded swamp bases. I know it's them specific but I'm not going to base the rest of mine in swamps.

The wraiths are all assembled, absolute sod of a model, let alone 6 of them lol!!!

Should be a fun paint this weekend though.

So plot twist. My Christmas box se (Astra Militarum) took ages to arrive so I complained. Long story short, they also sent me the same box set but as individual items too. I now have 40 guardsmen, 2 command squads and 4 Rogal Dorns

will likely sell 2 Dorns to fund some sentinels.

Nice outcome

Took a look in my lidl, no ultrasound cleaner here unfortunately!

Hey Guys

Popped into my local hardware store this afternoon, for some odd reason they had a small Warhammer stand.

Everything was 30% off not much was left but I did manage to pick up a Space Marines Tactical Squad for £21.

More stuff to add to the ever growing pile

Waiting on the muddy ground to dry on the base for Krondys, hopefully I can get it finished tomorrow morning

I picked up a handful of different Speedpaint 2.0 today and gave them all a go.

Wow!!!! They actually blew me away with how much better than the citadel contrasts they are.

The consistancy, the way they behave, the coverage, its all just so predicable and stable.

Think im going to treat myself to a box of the full set.

I had the full box set in my hand at the gaming shop quickly set it down but it was seriously impressive. Armypainter are bringing the heat. I can’t wait for proper reviews of their new Fantic line. What I really like is their naming on the new labels. With me being colour blind it’s fantastic that they have paint name and the colour and colour hue all on the label.

I’ve been playing around with mine. Find the best results is just straight IPA into the tank and dunk the models.

Disclaimer- I’m pretty sure what I’m doing is a fire hazard!!

Thanks for the info

The only contrast paint I've found that I like is the Imperial Fist one, I don't really like the finish they give generally but appreciate their purpose.

That melta on the gladiator is suss. Don't recall seeing that in wargear options lol.

rjk · 24 Dec 2023 at 16:35

because you don't play Black Templars.
All BT vehicles have a melta included in the cost. page 23/24

Ah yeah I'm looking in the SM codex and got confused as their detachment rules are in the book, but I failed to notice the units weren't lol. I don't see templars on the codex roadmap either, odd.

roman59 · 24 Dec 2023 at 16:50

Hey guys the Krondys base just needs the rim painting black, then on to painting the huge dragon.

He should keep me busy over the holiday season too.

Hope you all have a great Christmas

Warhammer Fantasy models are imo so much better than the 40k stuff. Sod painting them though lol.

Just done with 3 contrast paints on AK Interactive grey micro filler primer, basiilicanum grey, wyldwood & aggaros dunes.

AK Interactive muddy brown texture paint, then all drybrushed with tyrant skull.

Dead easy to do
