Hi all,

As many of us are aware, the late great Robin Williams was a fellow enthusiast of Warhammer 40K. In that light, I'm spreading the word that
GamesWorksShop should make a tribute to our...

Question is, would GW let you play in their stores if they discovered you used free sand?!

They might supply their staff with testing kits, and like Olympic Athletes, after a game they will strip...

I like those two pieces of advice...

Buy from local small store and buy fish tank gravel. Genius!

I run out of GW sand I bought years ago. Not just any sand, but ‘GW sand’ Oooooooo… with the small pebble like stones mixed in to give a textured base interesting details.

But I was truly shocked...

Hello,

It took sometime, but I need to give my troops a new home :(

Attached is a zipped pdf of a brochure to this post. I've not set a price, as I'm still trying to work out how much it would...

Perfect! I'm going with Bailey03's suggestion.

Makes sense, as I can still play a fun battle with 500pt 'if' an opportunity arises. After all, playing a 2000pt army and having to relearn all the...

Lol... That made me laugh.

I guess giving it away is an option. But would rather sell (I already have a fish tank ;), which brings up another question. How on earth can I come up with a price for...

I have a sizable Warhammer 40,000 2000pt Imperial Guard Army. I've been painting and collecting it for over 10 years and have only battled a...

Hi all,

I've a large well painted Imperial Guard Army that has gathered dust for the past 3 years (examples below).

I spoke to the staff at the Covent Garden branch about this. One of them told me that Bugmans Bar type adult venues was brought up at GW HQ. But anyone that suggested it was shown the door, as GW...

My ex-girlfriend used to pop into a GW with me. She's pretty but high maintenance (hence the ex), and it was sooooo funny as they never ever approched her. I could see how they just didn't have a...

Hello :)
Sorry, but I needed to have a little rant. But before I go on, I just like to say this rant is based on mine and my friends experiences. And are not aimed at all GW staff. Just 80% of the...

Thanks everyone :) I decided to go with nels0nmac's suggestion. I liked having the choice to use the magnifier and the orbital light eliminates shadows.
It's pretty cool and packs away nicely.

Hi all,

I'm giving the paint brush a break while I play Modern Warfare 2.

I've spent aaaaaaages trawling through the internet to find out what's the best headset for this type of game....

It\'s a 69 lol I thought the devil is in the detail.

I\'m thinking of doing a more subtle one with just two guardsmen holding hands skipping.

Thanks everyone for your feedback :beer:

I totally agree with your points regarding that the letter will be ignored. After all it\'s a massive company that dominates a very specialised field. I...

Hi there,

I\'m usually very laid back and never get on my soap box. But over the years this I thought I\'d finally send GW a complaint letter voicing my concerns :cussing: ...As you can imagine...

Thanks guys for the responses :beer:

I get your point evil tendencies as my GW figure case was a good buy. But £60 for a cheaply made case is still really over priced....Plus being a 30-year-old...

Hi all :-)

I was about to buy a large GW carry case this weekend. But like most things GW it\'s sooooooooo expensive it made my wallet grow legs and run out of the shop crying.

I\'ve got the...

Forgive my ignorance ???

But I use water to successfully thin down GW paint for use in an airbrush.

How does purpose made thinner or screen wash perform?

Hi all,

Still having trouble finding shells for the Basilisk. Forge World no longer sell the Earth Shaker shells. So I\'m looking at an alternative and looking at the pics, shells for a Conqueror...

Hi,

Wondered if any veterans that play 40,000 live in or around the area. Find is difficult to make the GW run veteran nights after work and there are no clubs that I know of near me.

Would...

I assume so as they don\'t have them on their online shop. I know they include them in bigger kits (part of a model) but not separately.

Hi all,

I\'m trying to find these babies but Forgeworld no longer sell them so I was thinking of buying alternative shells made for the Battle Cannon. Has anyone got these and if so do they look...

Ha, ha....That made me fall of my chair laughing.

On that subject, I sent a ranting letter to GW HQ.
I compared their products to other high quality model makers such as Tamya and how their...

Hello,

ForgeWorld isn\'t particularly reliable when it comes to delivery times. I\'ve had to wait 2 months for an order.

I enquired about this and was told that compared to GW, it is a much...

Thanks, but I\'m looking for the plastic versions. I want to do some heavy converting.

Cheers\' for replying to my post anyway.

Oooooh might be.

I\'m looking for plastic Catachans. You say old. What\'s the difference between the old and new ones?

I based mine on the German WWII army. See link below....
My theme

The story behind the army is if Germany won the war and in the year 40,000 they were still in power. It explains why the Guard...

...on their sprus if possible. Looking for about 5 men.

I do! How many do you need?

If you need any more I have a whole box on sprus minus one Tau soldier.

Heavy 20! WOWEEEEEE.:bouncy:

I think my moral will go up when I get the new Codex.

The annoying thing was that he did not use Feel No Pain.
Melta Guns are great but have to be in close range 12 Inches to hit. I hit everytime with the Demolisher but the dice were not on my side.

BEATEN AGAIN!

Not what I had planned for a Sunday afternoon.

I bought a box of these babies to use as battlefield dead. But I only used a single Tau warrior.

So will anyone want to swap for a box of Tau Fire Warriors (minus one) still on their...

Silicon!
I used the stuff all the time at Uni and it\'s brilliant. You can use it over and over again and is ideal for miniatures. In fact that\'s how Forge World miniatures are cast.

I think UnDave and jerry kurl are right. I think I need to hold out for the new Codex before I start investing money and time in rearranging my Imperial Guard to take on the likes of Chaos. Until...

Hi all,

Yeah, I asked and he/she said they\'d bought it already converted and just painted it.

Hi all

Although happy with the destructive power of the Basilisk, I’ve never liked it’s shield design.
However, ForgeWorld have made a great looking Armageddon Pattern conversion which I would...

I guess next time I\'ll save up a load of things that need it and do it all in one go like you suggested.

They look cool and actually look like .22 bullets. I\'ll have to scan ebay for them or email FW to see if they can sell them seperately.

I\'m not bothered by titles or how they were designed to be painted. Just only what colour scheme suits them. After all if I\'m going to spend hours on painting them I might as well look great. But...

It seems thre\'s no clear winner but more of a personal choice. I think I\'ll take your advice bullfrog and buy a couple to see if they\'re for me or not.

Hi,
Just before I go and buy, I was wondering if anyone can tell me if and why these paints are significantly better than the GW paints?

cheers

If you enjoy painting and have a lot of time, you\'ll love them. But compared to Games Workshop models they are very hard to paint as they are just so detailed.

I wouldn\'t advice a beginner to...

Cheers :D

Took me ages. After visiting Warhammer World and seeing thier gallery it really makes you try harder.
