Any Warhammer 40k ( tabletop) players on here

So I have pre-ordered 'dark vengance' as I want a fully painted set in the loft ready for a rainy day. Having painted 6/11 Terminators and 1/30 Genestealers in 4 years of owning Space Hulk I expect this to be a VERY lonfg term project.

But i had to make sure I got the ;limited edition' http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?catId=cat440160a&prodId=prod1700011a

Dark Vengance is, by the way, the NEW 40K starter set, which I'm quite excited about, as it brigns closer the chance to actually play the game. Also the models look wicked, I will be aiming for this standard:

 

[DotCommunist]

your mad skillz anger me

 

[bouncer_the_dog]

I did not paint that!! those are official pix. I havent even got my grabbers on the box yet!

 

[Callum91]

The Dark Vengance Chaos dreadnought looks absolutely rubbish. The rest looks great (especially the Chaos lord).

 

[bouncer_the_dog]

Agree. I think it looks minging... I wondering about adding Deamon Prince bits to it...

 

[Stigmata]

^I may have detected a design weakness in that dreadnought

 

[Callum91]

Side on it looks like they just gave up trying to sculpt a decent model.

 

[Artaxerxes]

I'm pretty much giving up the hobby currently, if they release a multipart cultist kit though I'll stick to Necromunda like glue

 

[Boppity]

I am currently doing the admin for the 40k Warlords tournament. Who knew so much work went into this??

 

[bouncer_the_dog]

So I finally finished painting Space Hulk. They are now all in a plastic bag in the box on the top bookshelf away from prying eyes...

 

[Red Storm]

Have they got rid of circle bases now?

I'm just finishing selling my Skaven army on eBay.

 

[bouncer_the_dog]

It's Space Hulk so they dont have circle bases.. they still do in 40k... I'm on to painting Dark Vengeance now

[Crispy]

Fuckin ace painting there, btd!

 

[Kid_Eternity]

Brilliant!

Just found this thread.

Found my 1st and 2nd end War hammer rules. Yes, the brown books and the big hardback.

Our new commercial director wants to get a hires 3d printer.

I has big tables with no need to clear in the week. And cats, obv.

Now, which cousin had the original figures from the day?

 

[Callum91]

One trip to GW later (after ''accidentally'' buying this months White Dwarf) and my wallet is £170 lighter than it was this morning. Starting again from scratch, had to buy all the paints/brushes/clippers/glue etc. Time to paint me some Blood Angels!

 

[mrs quoad]

Blood angels and ultra marines are essentially the vanilla chapters.

 

[el-ahrairah]

they are, but which are the good chapters. dark angels i like, the whole warrior priests nonsense appeals. the space wolves are space vikings and that's kind of cool too, though a bit cheesy even for GW. who would you play, quoady?

 

[DotCommunist]

you never see space marine scouts any more, they seem to have been edited out of the narrative, to lie forgotten with the ogryns.


they always looked gash in half armour anyway.

Black Templars

 

[Callum91]

I'm still waiting on some Adeptus Custodes models from Forge World to be made. Their background is great, like cooler grey knights.

 

[Red Storm]

I've seen some brightly coloured Rainbow Warrior chapter before.

I've always liked Black Templars but they are vanilla.

 

[Stigmata]

White Scars then. Motorbike-riding space Mongols

 

[bouncer_the_dog]

i have a whole load of Khorne Beserkers and Beastmen/CSM mashup figs I'm working on at the moment..

 

[Callum91]

I just ordered some pre Heresy Space Marines from Forge World. MK III Iron armour and MK V Heresy armour. They're sexy as fuck!

 

[mrs quoad]

Oh, man, cheesy? Pfffft. I was space wolves. Blates.

Erm, tbh, I can't even remember what my terminator librarian army was. "Cool colours I invented myself," I think. Centred on some kind of mauve.

There weren't many of them - IIRC I managed to make 6-10 figurines into something like a 4-10,000 point army (they died hideously every time. Not that there were many times - the whole point was *painting* them, not using them.)

 

[mrs quoad]

I've just downloaded this Citadel paints colour conversion chart.

I'm disgusted by some of the new names, but ay (I'd forgotten 'tin bitz' )

Somewhere around Liche Purple, at a guess.

Had to fit Tin Bitz into every model.
