i have only recently got back into minture painting and have to say I am not a fan of the plastic figures. I have also had to radically alter my painting style as all the paints these days seem tobe forumlated for base.. layer.. layer.. ink.. drybrush... wash.. which i agree gives a better result than the methods of 20 years ago but is stil awkward to get to grips with when you are not used to it

Cheers. I want to get my son a figure for his hero, something like this:

Just remembered citadel minatures too.

Some of the Privateer press models are nice.

Nice dark Vengeance stuff!!

Cheers! I'm pleased with how the Deathwing Terminator came out. I opted for a more sun bleached bone rather than the traditional yellow bone colour. Took awhile but worth it eventually, starting on the assault cannon one now.

Edit: In case anyone was interested, it's a basecoat of rakarth flesh, shade with seraphim sepia, back over with rakarth flesh then layer on a mix of rakarth flesh and pallid wych flesh, then just pallid wych flesh on it's own finishing with a final edge highlight of white scar. The seraphim sepia shade should be a heavy one.

Edit:hang on

The local GW is having a 'Battlebrothers' tournament. Whereby you buy a boxed battleforce and are only allowed to use the contents to make an army. I like the idea becuase it's a nice nerdy miniature based challenge. The only slightly worrying thing is it would require a) going into the Games workshop and b) actually playing the game. I have done a) occasionally in the past but have never actually managed to do b).

I would go Blood Angels btw.

 

[Callum91]

You've never played the game?

 

[bouncer_the_dog]

Weird innit

 

[fractionMan]

I think it's fairly common tbh

 

[DotCommunist]

yeah, loads of people just like painting the models and reading white dwarf.

which, while I'm on the subject, is no way near a good as it used to be.

White dwarf went crap when the d&d content got axed imo.

I can't bare to pay the £4.50 or what ever it is now for at most 10 decent pages.

 

[Callum91]

£5.50.

 

[DotCommunist]

they really do take the piss, theres cheaper wank mags than that

Just ordered myself some Winsor and Newton series 7 miniature brushes (000,00,0 and 1). £32 off Amazon. People rave about them and I'm looking for some better brushes than the ones GW provide (I think their old brushes, when they were red, are better than the ones they sell at the moment). They better be worth the damn money! This hobby is once again costing me a fortune...

 

[Callum91]

 

[Artaxerxes]

Think I've reached the cut off point for prices, just cant bear to buy any more models

Ah well, hopefully I'll get a few fun games in and maybe try out something like BFG or Epic using 3rd party ones

 

[Red Storm]

£5.50.

Jesus wept.

 

[Callum91]

I'm undecided whether to paint the Chaos from the Dark Vengeance box Alpha Legion colours or Death guard colours. The red and gold they chose for the official scheme is too similar to the Blood Angels I'm painting at the moment and none of the other official Chaos legion colour schemes appeal greatly to me. Although...the Luna Wolves have a rather nice blue/grey tone (if memory serves me right) that I could pair with a nice red copper metal trim. Choices choices!

My rushed Chaos lord. Would have taken more time but I really wanted to see what the scheme would look like. The cape isn't done.

How old are you?

I'm pretty sure that there was no d&d content in White Dwarf when I was buying it about 20 years ago

Some nice paint jobs on this thread BTW

The first 80 or so issues were general role-playing, not just GW product-based. I used to have issues 19 thru 80 but they get destroyed in a flood.

Used to cover D&D, Runequest, Traveller, all sorts. They even included small games in some issues, I remember a neat little fantasy bar room brawl game in one.

Early to mid-80s, i guess

Just stumbled across Advanced Heroquest, Terror in the Dark expansion set (Games Workshop, 1991), £135 in reasonable condition

http://www.sircollectalot.co.uk/Board-Games/Heroquest-Terror-in-the-Dark/prod_1473.html

Also includes a huge five-part adventure against the Lichemaster (the villain from the original Heroquest game).

That said, "Jesus" @ the price!

I had a tonne of early issues, bought from someone dirt cheap. You know, I'd swear I had an issue 1 (again dirt cheap); but might be mistaken on that. I mostly treasured them for the stories. And the artwork. I wonder where they are now

e2a: actually, I'm fully aware that half a tonne of lead is up in my parents' attic. I wouldn't wager the White Dwarfs are up there too - my parents through out a half-tonne of shit, including the sketchy porn I'd found in my dad's stack of 1970s Economists - but they might well be

Not 40K I know, but my mate asked me to paint up his Empire Witch Hunter for him. Was a lovely breath of fresh air to paint something that wasn't wearing power armour. The coat was especially nice to paint, lots of folds and flaps to get detail in.

 

[Callum91]

Quick question, does anyone else have the ''Athonian camoshade'' shade? I just cracked open my brand new one and it seems to have metallic bits in it (like the metallic paints). Just wondering if it's meant to be like this or if I've just bought a dud paint. Google isn't helping me much. It's nice, I just wasn't expecting it to look like that! I'm paranoid as it is about contaminating non metallic paints with metallic ones, annoys the fuck out of me.

 

[Callum91]

I'd also recommend ''Winsor and Newton series 7 miniature'' brushes (if you're seriously into the painting aspect of the hobby). I've found their size 0,1, 2 and perhaps 3 are all perfect for painting models. They aren't cheap, but like most things that are good quality, you get what you pay for.

 

[Callum91]

My lastest model. The Chaos Cultists might look simple but they're a pleasure to paint. Again, this could be mainly due to the fact I'm bored of painting power armour but lots of skin/folds in capes always seem fun to paint. He's not finished yet but it's almost there.
