Fantastic game of #warhammer40k this afternoon! I won with my Orks, 71 to 56, against some nasty Salamanders, with the Dread Mob detachment (without a Stompa this time).
Awesome moments included me missing 10 shots hitting on 4+ with my Meka Dread, all my Meganobz and Big Mek dying to one round of Hellblaster shooting even with 4+ invulnerable saves, 2 vehicles also exploded, which is always fun, and my gretchin were massacred by a flyer in one volley, which is also always fun 😂
@thelinuxEXP I can understand that, they might get a little repeating quickly.
I recently started to eye the Tau. I don't know much about their lore but the models are really cool. Tho I should first finish my minis. :skull_cross:
My current WIP, really happy with how this classic Warhammer Wight Lord is coming out. Always wanted to paint him so trying to give him a very special paintjob
Some of the goodies I picked up yesterday at the Exeter Legionary Wargames Show. Some classic 2nd edition Gretchin and Space Marine scouts, some Bolt Action Australians, and some of the classic paints, including Goblin Green.... let's hope they still work.
@erikcats no, the wonders of a "bring and buy" table. The 15 Gretchin were £7 and the Space Marines were £10. It seems like the people selling at these events are just out to rip you off with crazy prices.
@ZacBelado I think the Coat D'arms paints are slightly different. Although now may be a good chance to do a comparison and see if they really haven't changed over the years!
I bought these guys a long time ago from Paul Cook at ‘Blind Beggar Miniatures’, now sadly defunct. They are simple sculpts, and it took me while to get to them, but again recently tried to make them work. The latest two are on the right, others are much old paint job. Have now dug out the rest and will try to make more progress with the set #miniatures#minipainter#minipainting#paintingminis#cthulhu#deepones#Hybrids#blindbeggar#paulcook
I must have knocked her over by accident because at some point her judgemental finger fell off. Time to check the bits for a spare Necron finger to replace it with. I'm pleased with the clothing, need to shade and layer the face and the door she is standing on feels like it could use some rust.
Hier soir j'ai fait une partie de The Old World #tow (dernière version de #warhammer battle) 1200 pts nains vs guerriers du Chaos. On a eu le temps de faire 5 tours dans la soirée ! Une victoire mineur du Chaos. Ça été relativement fluide et on se rend compte que beaucoup de règles ont été oubliées mais ce n'était que notre deuxième partie! Je me replonge dans les livres pour améliorer ma liste et tester de nouvelles combinaisons.
Need to get back in the habit of taking pictures as I go. Last month's free mini is on the desk currently, along with a Scout Kill Team and some Blood Angels Terminators.
Every month the official Warhammer stores will have a different mini that you can get for free. It’s not something to make an army out of, but it is a great low stakes chance to paint something different or do an interesting kitbash.
#MiniPainting crew, I'm at a loss what to do with the inside of Jean's collar thing.
Do I make it dark grey like her boots? Yellow (the chest will be yellow too)? Purple (as the cult icon sash thing on her hip will be)? Leave it white? Other?
@erikcats Other image manipulation programs also exist.
You just have to roughly place some blobs of colour in vaguely the right shape to see if it works for you. E.g. my raider conversion, MSpaint over black basecoat Vs. final painted model
