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 ]

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?

Thanks very much for the kind offer chap but I'm fairly flush with genestealers - it's the termies I need ...
Armiger Warglaive finally turned up today... without a 100mm base :( - Anynerd have one spare for a couple of quid?

Bought another Conquest 33 for the Plasma Conduits because I want some more.

Theta-7 Killteam are primed - The models in this set are splendid - deciding on whether to continue my Orange/Khaki Skitarri scheme or do them as a crack commando unit sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit...
I've got tonnes of vanilla bases I don't need or use. How many? Any other sizes ?
:luv:

Well I just need one 100mm at the moment but if you're swamped with others I'd gladly take a random assortment too.

Let me know how much x
0 pounds. I shall get em out early nek wek.
I'm racking up loads of bits at the moment too so if you fancy any Skitarri/Genestealer/Tau weapons, heads, or anything let me know, can take pics of the sprues if you want to peruse.

You are a nerd and a gentleman.

I'll send you my new address* via a private dancer.

*not sure if you have it.
I have 2 big drawerserserserssersw4rssers full of bitz so I'm okey doke.
If only GW would add extra legs to their sprues. The bastards.
Wahay! Both parts of my Plaguecrawler Conquest issues just arrived. Plackky.
Built my Armiger Warglaive last night, another beautiful model... agonised over which of the 4 heads to used. Nice touches include the option of having either foot forward and the arm/weapon positions. Getting undercoated this evening.

The numbering on the instructions/sprues has been the worst I've ever encountered on a Citadel kit, all over the shop!
Get some mini-magnets and use all four!
Could have done I suppose, but I'm happy with my choice now.
I went to an 'independent' gaming shop on Saturday to support a friend's RPG event. I say independent though every single thing in there was Games Workshop. It was a really impressive place - a cafe/bar, 12 full sized gaming tables set up with scenery, and a set of high tables set up for painting. A far cry from the usually quite unpleasant GW stores.
Did you buy yourself anything or just applaud and whoop?
I managed to restrain myself, though I had a play with the new paints that appear to be deliberately runny so they almost apply an ink wash to themselves. Quite impressive.
Yeah the contrast paints look good.
You seen this Dimrill?

Not my cup of tea the LotR stuff but I know you like him.
The scale is so small on the Lordy Ringo stuff. Enough to make them unworkable for my shakey hands and bog eyes.
I had to put the big light on for some of the smaller bits on my Warglaive.
I need to get some Jeffersons' Eye Correcting Fluid.
Looking forward to getting this painted.
Oh, he is cooooool!
I much prefer the Armiger to the Helverin. More coggy.
His feet are like ED-209's. I approve.
To be fair to the Helverins, it's only the weapons that make the models different.
Shoulder pads and thighs too. More in keeping with the Knights, rather than Mechnicumm.
Oh aye, the thigh pads are like the Dune Crawlers.
And his ickle foot booties.
New Skitarri tank/transport inbound too!

Inbound as in you've bought one or just found out aboot them?

With Apocalypse returning soon there's new starter boxes coming. The one you may be interested in:

That's if you want three packs of those fugly 40k Castellans. If you do, get some of these to vastly improve them:

First time I'd seen the actual models, knew about them and seen sneaky bits.

Not fussed about that particular bundle box... got the Tech Priest already and not keen on the robots. Have nothing about them really compared to other Ad Mec stuff.

Those alt heads are much better though.
The painted ones from WC

at last you can recreate D-day with little space robits.
A 3d printed model plan of the skitari transport appeared last week I think
My contrasts have just showed up. Sans the turquoise. Which is irritating cos that's the only one I really wanted, the others were to just bulk out the order. :S
D-Day Dodge 'Ems
Just had a Turquoise Contrast paint turn up at my house.

The note inside said "Aaaaaaaargh!!!! Fucking Fuck you Cunty cunt fuck x"
These friendly local game shops are becoming less friendly, i see.
The re-branded Forgewoild paints are very nice. The Iron Warriors base is exactly the right black-iron that Leadbelcher should've been.
The base transport is away. The base transport is away.

BROTHERS NOW IN BLOODSHED
Been after a 4th Ed copy for ages and they're either reasonably priced but half painted/assembled or £115+ for mint copy. I'm in full on grovel mode at home now :D

Hmmm....
That's an amazing price. Looks like Gonk Workshop may have finally satiated demand if it's selling for less than the RRP at last.
