Tabletop Warhammer?

I think Warhammer ganes have become so expensive that people're being priced out of the game and hobby not but Games Workshop complain about people making their own figures with 3d printing.

It's a hobby and yup it's bloody pricy but alll hobbies grab you by the balls and make you pay the price.

Got to get me that plastic crack.
 
I wouldn’t, they’re already indented which is all you need imo

Yeah it's just that it reminded me of the lightning locks on my Moirax and they were indented but I put it to a vote and everybody said to drill them which I'm glad about because that's what I thought too. It just doesn't look right. Well I totally get not wanting to do it as well because if you mess it up then, well can be hard to fix

Finally everything is all complete for my log cabin build, thought you might like to see my clean workspace (not sure how long it will last though) ;)

Now to start tackling my plastic pile.

Cheers All
Super cool that! What's the trunking on the wall above the pegboard?
 
That's a Govee Glide smart light, I have also got a Govee 5m long led strip light under all of the worktops as well, all smart controlled via a Raspberry Pi which is sitting on the multiboard too.
Ah very cool. How does the rpi control them? Via mobile interface or something?
Love the bench set up btw. I'm contemplating getting painting again after almost 30 years and I'd love a set up like that to get started with again :)

The bench is 4 metres long on one side and 3 metres long below the multiboard, its a Dunster House fully insulated 4 x 3 metre log cabin complete with double glazed doors and window.
The log cabin is at the bottom of my garden which is just under 50 metres away from my house.
The Pi is running Homebridge 24/7 which interfaces with Apple Homekit, the Govee stuff is not Homekit ready out of the box but it is now.

Have you looked at Warhipsters guides on Youtube ?

That's who I have been watching and I don't even paint (yet). He seems to offer a good blend of contrast painting with basic layering, drybrushing and highlighting that gives good results providing you follow the standard stuff. He's got the mix of contrast with the other techniques just right from what I've watched, as mostly contrast doesn't work to me and without contrast, some things look difficult to attain (through to not possible at all initially). He even shows the same schemes across multiple models as well as variations.

Warhipster's videos have helped my mini painting a lot.
I am no stranger to painting larger models and figures, this time last year I went into my local Warhammer store only to buy more pots of paint for some resin stuff that I had printed, the Age Of Sigmar Extremis box set caught my eye and a couple of weeks later I went back the shop and bought it.
Currently finishing of the Skaven side of the Skaventide boxset for my sins.
One thing I would say is get yourself a compressor and airbrush, you will save a fortune not having to buy rattle cans for priming.
 
I almost have no pile of shame (assembly wise).

I think this is only true where people do a LOT of modelling. Take a basic air compressor on Amazon - £90. That is 9 Color Forge cans or 4.5 ltrs of primer. This is before we even factor in the airbrush and all the ancillieries needed.
