Tabletop wargaming - nerdlinging to the max...
and other sundry models

Do you play tabletop wargames?
No, of course not. Tabletop wargamers are so nerdy they make PC fanboys look cool and studly.  34%  [ 25 ]
Yes. I love my little painted figures. I give them all names and stroke them every night. I live for weapons damage charts.  5%  [ 4 ]

Look at the bore on the grenade launcher *slobbers*
Nice job. I was really tempted by those, too. I can see myself building a Night Goblin army now though. Those models are just too nice.
They came with the Kill Team box set those lot. The models released afterwards are really nice too, especially the vehicles. Nice industrial aestheethickicty.

Yeah Night Goblins (New AoS comes with a nice selection as well as the tree pixies)
Yeah Beastmen. Yeah Seraphon (Think these are on Harrisons WANT list)
One I did a few years ago: Kharn 30k
Is Kill Team good?
I'm enjoying it yeah.

Still only playing the basic (get started rules*) as I only ever play it with my son, and it's all new to me really (only ever really painted / collected before). We're both enjoying it, as much for the time spent together building and painting as the actual game though. Need a few more games before we play 'properly'.

The boxed game is good value that I bought as you get everything you need, I had a long wait for the reprint to come back on sale, not sure what the situation is like these days.

*happy to post up pics of the sheet, can't find it online.
A couple of squads I did a while ago. Just decal-ed the breachers so good time to do them.

I need to get some proper front lighting to get the side profiles better.

I have the Killer BOB one, and a Deadpool. They're alright.
Just ordered these, Dimmers. Nice new models for the price.
Ooh I like the wire work on those mate!

Frum Whomed? Great price, even better than the people I buy from. I've already bought the Rogue Trader Nurgle half this month, but I can stretch to those too.


edit: ne'er mind, found some for 6 quid all in.
Yeah, loads of eBayers splitting the Blackfortress box sets.
Surprised they're that reasonable for the beastmen. The 9.99 for two chaos marines can gtff, though.
Yeah, price is at odds with other stuff from the set. :shrug:

Good for us who remember the Pestigors etc 1st time round.
They did a 1 week made-to-order of the old beastmen a few months ago. Still too spenny at aboot 40 quid for a herd iirc. I was hoping after the Tzaangors got a 40k version we'd see the return of beastmen proper considering how much they're in the fiction too. Nope.
Mor Death Guard 30K stuf. Characters/Elites.
Lording it up with your Forgeworld fayre!

Not seen half of those before.
The third series of Space Marine Heroes they sell in blind boxes in Japan are to be Death Guard.

Why has the second one got a gun that fires honey?
Sweets to the sweet.

eBay fleecers aren’t biting at my offers on Space Hulk (2014) sets :( Hope GW put out a new set set soonish.

So I think I’ll pull the trigger on Theta-7 Kill Team set & a brace of Warglaives from Wayland games. Also a Wall of Martyrs scenery trench that’ll be good for Kill Team action too.
New Armiger options were revealed yesterday coming from Forgey Woild.
Knowing FW that’ll erase my spends in one go.

Wanting most bang for buck on my placky muck!
Started my Mig-15 kit last night, spurred on as Harrison wanted to build the Airfix Typhoon he bought on Sunday.

Progress pics to follow.

Oh, and as soon as I'd bought the Theta-7 / Warglaive / Wall of Martyrs... one of the eBay sellers came back with a counter offer on a shrink wrapped Space Hulk. Sods law.
Thermic Plasma Conduits.
My beastmen arrived. Minus two arms... seller apologetic and sorting this out though. In case you’ve not already built yours Dimmers, snip the internal pins down a bit as mine didn’t quite fit together as they came.

Theta-7 box set is here :luv: a deliciously heavy box of plastic, the Mars pattern scenery is really thick and heavy, very practical seeing as our current scenery gets nudged about with range finders. Balphamus Vaulk :nerd: himself is a beautiful fat ball of a sculpt, think this is the only way you can buy him. Still undecided as to build his cohort as Rust Stalkers, Sicarian Infiltrators or a mix.
I have just finished putting them together a 'our ago. I went for removing them entirely as I did with the easy-to-build things. My Gellerpox Infected arrived yesterday too. Nice mini-codex included.
Seems to be a common thing with the push fit models, remember it being the same with the Blight Hauler and Plague Marines.
Those new Kill Team Death Guard Terminators new models, Dimrill? They look similar to others but cant quite tell if new.

Nah, they're just the plackky BLightlord termies.
Massive off chance, but does anyone have any Space Hulk first edition era metal terminators they'd part with for reasonable cash-monies?
I do have some original pewter termies I bought when I was an nipper. I'll dig around and see if I can find em.
Bah. Looks like I sold them in the last purge. Could only find one body hidden in my classic chaos termies baggie.
Thanks chap, I appreciate you looking. I'm trying to get a couple of squads together for Space Hulk with the decent pewter chaps from around that time but ebay is taking the piss.
Er, would you need them shipping to Singapore though?
He can pick them up from the BBQ.
They're the generation after I think.
I've got 8 chaos terminators but it's even harder to find those so I can't round those out to two squads :-/

I'd get anything shipped to my parents in the U.K. and get it off them next time I'm back...
Pretend they’re the right generation but they’ve had a makeover.
I've just been rooting around in The Auxiliary Dork Fortress (the back of the garage) looking for those termies, as I was sure I had some of the original plastics from Spulk.v1. Nope. BUT(!) I did find the horde of Genestealers from it. Painted terribly by an 11 year old me and my mate. Any use?

Just need finishing!
As an added bonus the green ones are painted with humbrol enamel.
Yeah, noticed the shine :)

Can the plastic models be stripped back?
Yeah very easily. Soak in Dettol for a day or so.
