Going to paint one of my oop metal mages

Very cool unit fillers

That freeman is beautiful!

Finished up the BSB! Really pleased with how it turned out, it probably represents my best work when I really dedicate my time and effort to one mini. Spending that extra time really makes a difference, even if you're an average painter like myself. Stuff like painting each scale of the skirt sepera...

What's this? I actually finished a challenge within the month?? :shock: http://i1381.photobucket.com/albums/ah235/tommcadam/28810F2E-6B81-48E1-9D2D-20AC22958D28_zpsesqtftb2.jpg http://i1381.photobucket.com/albums/ah235/tommcadam/DF309711-2DA6-47CA-872B-45843472D624_zpsplxbbze0.jpg And a slightly out...

Just started listening to this podcast and thought I'd post it here for those that don't know about it. Whether you play 40k, or like me, you just love the 40k/30k fluff but haven't played for a LONG time (or never!), this is a great show. It's from the guys that make Garagehammer, a fantasy podcast...

I spent an unhealthy amount of time on total war games in my teen years, especially Rome, Medieval and Medieval II. The last I owned was Empire and since then I don't do any gaming at all on PC.. If I had a machine capable of playing games this would definitely have my interest as it develops... as ...

Just read the last piece in Archaon with Malekith... has anyone else had the thought that the laughter and darkness was Loec swooping down to make the save from the jaws of Chaos? Seems right in the Laughing God's wheelhouse no? Some faint voice tells me there's a payoff coming here. :wink: Way too...

RAW taken to its logical extreme

Yeh it seems pretty clear cut tbh

Dude that steam tank is effing incredible I love that you mobilised the wheels!

Just doing some minor threadomancy because I have another varnishing query. Will a spray on varnish have the same effect on basing materials as a second coat of PVA? As in the common technique of applying PVA over the top of your sand or gravel to hold it in place and stop loose bits falling off fro...

Personally I'm gonna magnetise, it seems like a simple process relatively speaking and is definitely better than having to stand your models up all the time!

Very thorough answer!

So I'm looking into getting movement trays made up. Deciding what type of material to get, etc, isn't really a concern. My main consideration is what sizes to get. I really don't wanna have to keep ordering more and more a couple at a time because I realise I wanna run a different formation or whate...

Yeah, I agree, the plot holes all over the place are a bit a pity. I don't think so much that the individual writers are to blame. They probably were writing a lot of the stories at the same time and had no way of knowing what everyone else was doing. But someone should have coordinated the whole t...

Really enjoyed reading through these reports, you do some of the best batreps in the business! It's also interesting to check out MSU high elves in action rather than the usual BOTWD deathstar

Yeh it does kind of end the discussion when every conversation boils down to "ok, but everyone's dead". One of the scariest parts about the end times, and most ominous going forward, is how bad the co-operation was between the various writers, and how many plot holes there were. To the poi...

I'm not the most accomplished painter, so I don't really have the option of being speedy. It's either full concentration or nothing

Thanks for the kind words guys! Hopefully the rest of the paint job works out :lol: Yeh I was skeptical about the head too, but the heads that come with the noble just really don't work on foot I find.. The massive "ears" look fine on cavalry but kind of weird on an infantry model, at leas...

I haven't started Archaon yet (it's sitting on a shelf, there is only so much GW literature I can read at a time). But I think the problem is in part, where do you go from the world ending? It's nice and all that they wanted to wrap everything up in a neat package. But you can't write fan-fiction o...

I presume so, seeing as that happens during remaining moves. Then again, if a character is part of a unit, can he be targeted by the spell as an individual? Can a mage target himself with walk between worlds to get himself out of a hairy situation?

Man, they really need to give us some monstrous cav in our next book! White lion riders , anyone?

You can take SIX demigryphs at 1,000 points and still have enough points to actually field an army? Wow... At 1,000 points we really don't have much to deal with that....

Working on my BSB for this month's painting challenge.. Just thought I'd take some quick photos while waiting for my wash to dry. http://i1381.photobucket.com/albums/ah235/tommcadam/731CDF1E-BBDB-4EF7-87D3-2AAA80F354CB_zpsh4r7h5sx.jpg http://i1381.photobucket.com/albums/ah235/tommcadam/0F722257-C2C4...

The starter will be out in September and the BRB will be out before that.

Wow, that's still quite a while away!

Ugh.. this is so true. I bought ten off eBay, already assembled... I honestly don't think I'll ever get them to rank up, they take up an extra 5mm in both directions from their base

Man, that definitely needs an FAQ.. So cheesy, I can't imagine many players that would take kindly to such a move

The spell of the ring has a power level of 3 and you take one or more dice from your pool. Sorry, Im confused now. "Power Level" Does that mean its adds a die to the power pool? Power level is the roll required to cast, like any other spell... It is a pointlessly confusing term, rather ty...

Very much looking forward to seeing the finished paint job!
