I just specced out a chaos space marine army based on fluff, fun to paint, and tactics. £348.70

:D

I'm torn between some killa kans or converting a nice looted defiler if I can get one cheap...

What is in that? ...and where from? I'm currently buying bits off of dark sphere (1/3 off all GW and reasonable postage - but they have a shop for pick up London Waterloo) or Amazon has a seller called moliboob toys whose prices change daily but can go ridiculously low - however postage for anything is £4.62 and delivery is turning out to be slow... It's dangerous but I've also been looking at the cheapest bits like glyphs and doors/plates on forgeworld - it's a good thing it takes me ages to finish anything or I would never have any money :)
 
reading this has made me regret getting rid of any models I had. I'd be interested in playing again if I had the money for a full on army, but I might get into the painting side of things again. I'd space marines and some sisters of battle before, but if it were solely for painting I suppose chaos... or just a bit of everything

I'm 32 too. I've got a new baby so life has gone out of window at the moment (in a good way :D)

Bouncer - I've got bits of chaos transfers and glyphs from a defiler if you have any orky/eldar bits to swap? I'm also seriously thinking of emptying my bits box of arms and guns and flogging them on ebay for a quid a go, should pay for some paint!
 
Oh man, my little brother has just got into 40k, when my mum told him I used to play his eyes widened and apparently he's been asking when I'm coming over next! Looks like I'm doomed...just spent 45 minutes...ahem...'researching' models to get him for his birthday. :facepalm::D

This reminds me that I have half a tonne of early 90s lead models stashed up in the attic.

I can't help but feel they might be worth something.
 
They have brought out a 6th edition rulebook. Its nearly £50!!

I will wait until the 'starter' edition comes out. Apparently it will be Dark Angels vs. Chaos (who now get cultists)

My painting has slowed of late, at the current rate fo production I should have finished my set of 10 terminators around late 2013 :-P
 
I used to love Space Marine and Adeptus Titanicus. Like pretty much everyone in the world I couldn't actually afford to build any kind of army out of the models so we used to use plastic soldiers and tanks for a lot of stuff, then I got sick of it, then computer games got good enough so I didn't have to play or imagine games anymore.
I did paint my titans but not very well, I'm cack handed and I just used to end up sniffing the paints :D

I loved Dawn of War until my computer broke but I wish it was based on the epic games and not the original, Titans and Leviathans etc were the best things in the game by a mile, specially when they made all of the chaos weapons
 
Not warhammer 40k, but I've just been given a massive pile of star wars minitures. Hundreds of quids worth probably.

Me and the lil one have been playing it and it's pretty good tbh. The minitures are pre-painted and it's skirmish based so much quicker to play, although I guess there's nothing stopping you from having huge armies on either side.
 
My friend made me volunteer at a mini-tournament he was having so he could get the 6th ed rule book for free. Since then it's all they talk about.

:facepalm:
 
And why can't you get 'the rules' in pdf off bit torrent? Fuck, seems obligatory if you're spending that much on figures, terrain and paints from them. They should be giving the literature away.

When I was last painting, it was £0.99 the pot (went up to £1.05 at the end, IIRC) and there were 105 paints.

Now there's just short of 120 (just counted :D), spraypaints not included, and they're £2.30 each!

I used to be able to hold a respectable stock of 60 odd paints, with scrupulous saving, and tins of white primer from Halfords.

But - fuck's sake - that's close to £300 on paint, for the full pot set!

Isn't it true that you can use other brands though? But obviously they don't come conveniently named for their purpose in order to do that colour-by-numbers decorating of the figures?
