Thanks for the Black Sphere tip off Dims - I've ordered a Thousand Year Hawk and a Big Tie Thingy to be delivered to work next week while 'm in the UK. That's me set for Large ships (already have Ghost and Lambda Class Shuttle) First Edition stuff is gratifyingly cheaps! On the huge ships, I have the TIE carrier and the Rebel Transport but really want a Blockade Runner... |

They’re not re-releasing the Imperial Raider in 2E as there are loads out there still, which means getting a huge ship conversion kit now too, annoyingly. I want to get that and the Rebel Transport and CR90 eventually. |

Read it and reap, my new TIE Reaper has arrived. Looks like it might be tricky to fly with the adaptive ailerons! Just need a couple of Strikers to escort it and I can do the battle of Scarif. |

Handover brushes are decent but cheapish - real sable is better than nylon. Size 000, 0, 1 and 2 are a good starting point. Vallejo game colour are cheaper than citadel paints and just as good. |

How many miniatures are there to paint, MaliA? If there's a fair few I'd recommend a tin of white plastic primer spray. Will also make the colours look brighter (ideal for super hero costumes) and take fewerless coats. Top tip, whatever paint to go for (I use Citadel stuff) always* thin it down with a drop of water (aim for milk consistency). *unless it's a wash/glaze/contast/varnish

Get poly with the long metal tube dispenser, much easier. Oh and when it blocks, a lighter on the very end ‘pops’ the flow again. |

Going with more Contrast paint for my Space Hulk minis, really pleased with the Blood Angels red on the Terminators. Got black on its way too for the helmets / shoulders / shins. Embellishments and bolters will be gunmetal. Nay gold on these boys like a lot of other Blood Angels seem to use. Nay. |

Just noticed several bits missing from my Perty Burty work in progress. Distraught! So I've spent an hour sifting through the hoover smeg and managed to find all three. Result. If only I didn't have asthma. |

Progress on the Space Hulk minis. Pleased with the Contrast paint scheme on both factions, was going to do a more exotic look on the Tyranids but I like the pale blue / grey carapace now. |

Just enjoyed 1st game of Space Hulk with Harrison, was a bit stop / start as I thumbed through the rule book (been a loooong time since I’ve played). He took great delight in killing my heavy flamer (genestealer victory condition) then insisted we carried on playing until he wiped out my entire squad!  Shout out to Terminator no. 2 who took out 5 genestealers in a row on overwatch though. |

I must say though that the newer miniatures are great to look at and build/paint but most are too big for the game board squares. |
