Little Wars
All the Fun Stuff
Avalon Games
Horizon Games

Wow I am sorry, I thought you were over 15. Explains a lot about your maturity level and reverence towards Portent-Seer. lol

The Pyramid Vault is the best one I have seen there is quite a bit of noise (read idiot post) but some good posters and the stickies are very useful for new players.

Chaos ogres are one of the crap units in the list the official models capture this perfectly. I would take the furies to march block as you will need to slow down units to set up for your hammer...

I would drop the Chaos ogres entirely, if you are going to take ogres take some DOW Ogre Bulls or minotaurs. Other than that the list looks solid.

The extra rank really is not that usefull as they are not a hard hiting hammer unit. You could buy a couple opf extra cold one riders and have them as flank chargers wiith a couple of saurus blocks...

The Herdstone

Excellent ideas thanks for the reponses! :D

I am working on a large display base for my grand Tournement army it will be multi tiered and the center will have a lava water fall. I have a good Idea of how to transition into the lava but...

Saurus cavalry is only good for flanking with the Standard of extra movment. They are fragile and expensive compared to heavy cavalry.

Lizards are a great army because they are so versitle. You...

There is your problem right there, the GW stores cater to kids the ones around here do birthday parties for kids like Chuck E Cheese. It is the main reason I never go to their stores to play. Well...

I may be eating some Humble Pie about the mini\'s they look good so far, especially the Tree Kin. I am, however, waiting for the Forest Swarms to surface before I put a mortgage on the house.

I was dissappointed when Tim Huckleberry told us this, I was planning to buy 3 of them. That would still be cheaper than attempting that conversion.

Gw posted a better picture up in sneak peaks it is smallish but the pait job is better. Though honestly the camo makes them hard to see.
...

I am building a diorama/display base that is going to reqire me to model some ice on water. I frankly am sumped as how to accomplish this. I was thinking some clear plastic on top of the resin with...

I think it is a artistic play on a leather face guard some English Longbowmen used to wear to protect their ears from bow strings. Same with the draw string gaurd on the sholder and the arm and draw...

Someone on Dakka has gotten a picture of the new plastics at Gameday LA

Archers

I rather like them they are more than likely scuplted by Diaz or Hedström as they look nothing like either of the...

The killing blow ability was a joke posted on April fools day. I myself am apprehensive about the entire Wood Elf line. Seeing as it is the Morrisons and Morely doing the majority of it. :(

The Plague Lord is up on GW\'s sneak peaks it is not what I expected and I hate it. I will stick to Jes\'s lord Skrolk mini for mine thank you

I don\'t see anything to fearsome in that list, I can easily shred that list with a Slaanesh Daemon Bomb with a Siren prince or a 100+ gaunt leaping warrior list would take it out easily. Khorne...

That Cynwall elf is one sexy mini. I love the Ashigaru goblins and will have to order some.

With all the noise about Wood Elves and Ogre Kingdoms an upcomeing mini campaign is comeing up this summer with the release of several new models. It is supposed to cover the lizardmen capaign...

From my understanding Gary Morley is sculpting them. He did the current line which is horrid when compared to the old Jes Goodwin one plus he sculpted the Nagash (AKA Death Clown) mini. I will...

Your right Airbrushes are more suited towards vehicles and model kits. I am a Badger man myself can\'t beat the lifetime warranty. As a cheaper alternate to people who cannot afford a compressor...

Go with your gut feeling, people will try to tell you play a powerful army or play this army because it is fluffy wich is rubbish in my opinion. I tell my friends who have gotte into this after me...

That\'s bad :( I am not surprised though, when I worked for EDS they laid off 10,000 people to pay for a superbowl commercial (the cat herding one). I am also surprised they do not understand they...

Your pretty much spot on with that, the psychers are strapped into a big ampitheatre and the Emporer uses them to create the beacon for the astronomicon. He basically ises them like akaline...

They were talking about this last month GW is reabsorbing Fanatic and they are makeing rules available free for the games as well as putting up articles on the web for free, very un-GW like in my...

Dont put your plastic in Pine Sol it will become a goopy mess. I lost Leman Russ that way :(, I was about oh i dunno 8 or so years ago . It had the general shape of the russ but was the...

Yes he is limited to 100 points of wargear, but retinues and psychic powers do not count towards that total.


Also the best place for rules or tactics is Dakka Dakka. The people know their...

Happy Birthday to us both, what are odds? :D

I am currently painting some of the GW Kasrkan as inquisitorial stormtroopers. They are being painted like Scout troopers from Star Wars. My main issue is I am useing a cool color, in this case a...

The new rhino is much larger than the old one by far. Of course back in the good old days you could by blisters of units for 10 dollars and 20 dollars got you three rhinos.

The Chaos Daemon prince for 40K was a blast as was the new Slann Mage preist.

Mine would not run because I have Clone DVD installed. I have to uninstall it to play :(.

A gentleman on Bolter and Chainsword posted this excellent article on Future floorwax and many uses in modeling

http://www.swannysmodels.com/TheCompleteFuture.html

I still have the boxed game and the Digganob supplement. It was a fun game some of the models, especially the muties, were great.


I liked the game I hated the background. One of the big unsaid...

It\'s the same concept, break tension so the pigment flows away from the center towards the recesses. While I have never used soap in my inks I myself have a bottle of premixed plain IE no color. ...

I always thought that Mordheim knight was a Don Quixote knock off hench the treadbare, scrawny, and scraggly look. He even has the shaveing bowl helmet. I love the mini and you did an excellent job...

I posted comments on it, I love the wings on your pegasus

This is the only one I have seen. He also shows how to make granite effectively in 28MM scale.

http://hot-lead.org/advance/texturing_marble.htm

I have used the technique he shows. It does...

I painted 40 Cadians in urban camoflage , and their eyes since about 3 in the afternoon here. I still have to put the arms on oen squad. My hands are cramping and i\'m anxious because I still have...

I have a masters in history and a bachlors in theology and I work in banking, go figure that one I can\'t. I actually used to work for EDS in their banking services division, but I got in trouble...

Ok this is my function over form light box

This is a mini with my old lighting setup of four bulbs

http://www.pbase.com/image/31356034

With two bulbs...

I made one this weekend out of a wal mart pantry storage unit, some old white cloth, super glue and some twist ties. It cost me 15 dollars to make includeing the two lamps and 75 watt reveal bulbs. ...

OMG, I would be doing well if I got an effect half as good Thanks! :D

You guys gave me some great ideas I have an idea on how I am going to proceed. I will certainly let everyone know how they turn out, unless you will be attending the GT in Houston then you can look...

It has been confirmed by Jervis on the Fanatic Board. So he is leaveing, shame too I met him once at Gamesday several years ago. Nice man we talked about the old Avalon Hill game Panzerblitz of all...

I am starting to work on some Grey Knights for my Grand Tournement army, I want to do a departure from the usual power weapons you see. I am thinking more in line with the heat hawks from Gundam...

Does anyone remember Temple Dogs? I have ten of them with their riders waiting for a Cathayan army list if they ever print it. I still have 5 bases of the original squigs for my original tyranid...

Jervis came out and said they were one of the races being milled about they lost out to the Tau and are still in the stables waiting to potentially drop.

The Hrud will not see the light of day more than likely . Squats have a better chance of comeing back as they have been renamed \"Demiurge\" and have BFG ships and rules.

Scott\'s army will be featured on the official GT page. I posted some more images includeing some more Chaos Dwarf stuff and the incense burning Khorne army.

I just got back from the Dallas GT and have uploaded some picks I took. I was fortunate to get third place in sportsmanship, and also to play the third place appearence, and the first place players...

I actully played war games long before haveing to paint. 6 years ago I had a stroke and had to move from being a lefty to a righty. I used painting minis to help me control my right hand, though...

I\'ve heard that too it was back in second edition from someone who worked at a shop. He described it as Yiddish Space Orks vs Flaming Eldar led by Sir Laurence Olivier. Don\'t know if i beleive him...

Games Workshop only had it up for a day then took it right back down.

The new Brets look great as do the Chaos warriors. The Tzar Boris model looks pretty sharp as well. So far as the Wood...

lol at Gamesday LA one of the bronze winners had mold lines.

I stopped buying GW paints years ago. Not only are the bottles terrible but they switched manufacturers so the quality took a nose dive. I mostly use my old games workshop paints mixed with...

I have been useing Citadel primer since floquil went out of business. Are there any alternatives outside of armoury which clumps and looks fuzzy due to the humidity in my area. The Citadel primer...

Andrea also makes video\'s and cdroms...

I have had success doing it with plumbers putty. Just put a layer on cut were tou think the stones should be let it dry and paint.

The only real drawpack to proWeld I know of is it has eaten and warped a couple of my platic mini\'s plus I can only find it in a big glass jar. The brush attached to the cap is a terrible way to...

I have the Kurita Dragon tatooed on my back.... I think I was a little to much into Battletech at the time.

# 3 applies the most to me. I have an unhealthy obsession with japanese arms and armour. That excludes the large piles of manga and loads of gundam crap I have lying around and the 200 or so anime...

I too play word bearers I usually make mine out of foil. The foil that goes around wine bottles is preferable but I have gotten good results with plain foil from on top of yogurt and cottage cheese...

I played battle tech from the time I was 12 until I was 21. I began haveing dreams about driving around in a mech and in my book that means you\'ve been playing a little too much.

Great game...

Thanks everyone for your input I rearrainged my lighting again and added a blue halogen the pics look great without a flash now. :D

I use a several thin coats of paints in ascending order vermin fur, vomit brown, a cheap craft paint called maple sugar, another one called old parchment , then ivory then the tip I usually paint...

I have just started takeing pictures of miniatures and have run into a bit of a contradiction.

Most people tell me not to use a flash when I take a picture, but I have found out through trial...
