I've finally finished the skirmish board, and the kids have been doing a "dragon vs skeletons vs tanks" game. At some point I'll introduce dice to it...

Blimey. Are they non-Epic sized rhinos and whatnot? That'll take a fuck of a lot of painting. |

Yeah 'full size' so lots of paint to add to the order. And brushes too. |

Not to mention buckets of poly cement. Seems pretty pointless, how many tactical squads does one person need? Even a gaming club is gonna run out of uses for 'vanilla marines with bolters' if they divvied it all up. |

Thank you! Yes they can stand up on all of the hills - the bases are made from 2p coins with a fair bit of polyfilla on them, so they're bottom heavy, and the fake turf (which is really nice, much better than the old woodflakes stuff) is a little bit grippy. |

That's a very good point, well made, Grim.... Answer is that after I finished I made a little squeaking noise when I realised what an utter plum I am. My two options for the other 29 gensstealers, the 10 appalling terminators fromthe Space Hulk set and the 8 lovely 1st edition chaos terminators is either (i) buy a bunch of resin bases with decking patterns on them, which is quite spenny or (ii) cover bases in sand and paint black, drybrush grey, which would look a bit arse.

If you look at the model train boys stuff, you can get plasticard with embossed patterns, like diamond safety tread or tile patterns. |

Car shops sell a very fine aluminium mesh to use for bodging car bodies with filler, it'll cut with scissors and look decent with some grime effects applied. |

That's a brilliant idea, thanks Mark. The Antics in Stroud doesn't stock any embossed styrene sheet so that wouldn't have been worth the bother anyway. |

I suppose the grassy base looks odd if you're only using them for Space Hulk, but Tyranids like to tear into things on land too. |

Pundy - yeah, he has a great selection, but his shipping prices are horrible. When I bought all the stuff for the terrain board I went to his place first, but after pricing it up it was considerably cheaper to buy it all from Hattons the railway modelling place. |

I have a stack of plastic spacemarines, and I decided to start doing something with them. Having seen From The Warp's take on the RT era Howling Griffon camo, I thought I'd shamelessly nick the methods from here: http://fromthewarp.blogspot.co.uk/2012/ ... hemes.html     However, I feel it's missing something, and with just the wash and the basecolour touchup it looks a little flat - I've never been too sure of how to highlight camo schemes. |

Anyone here still nerding it up in the grimdark world of 40K, then? There's a new army that just launched - the Adeptus Mechanicus - and there's a whole bunch of new things on the Games Workshop site right now. Horrible Martian death machines! DISCLAIMER: I now work at Games Workshop, as the web copywriter(I also do all the newsletters and the Warhammer news app), and the AdMech stuff was my first launch. You should all buy some. Yes. |

Grim... wrote: Is that the player that mustn't kneel? Yup. So if you drop your dice, better hope you're pretty flexible! There's a whole bunch of these rules, one of them is '+1 to wounds if you have a bigger beard than your opponent' They're designed for fun, something silly to add to the game once you and your mates have had a few drinks. They're entirely optional, but I can assure you that staring at your opponent and intoning "WAR" at them in a deadly-serious voice as you roll the dice is hilarious. Download the rules and have a look! It's a brilliant skirmish game that you can scale up as much as you want. |

It's under the big hammer thing, there. I should have said car park but I've been writing about plastic goblins all morning and am finding it hard to words good. No idea what it's made of, I seriously hope it's been treated to withstand the horrid rains of Rottingham otherwise by December it'll be a mess and a half. Ever visited Warhammer World? it got rebuilt and reopened a couple of months ago, it's pretty cool now. |
