Overview

I use my whfb imperials and orc to represent armies rome vs. goons.

That is awesome.

My son has moved up to secondary (high) school this year. All of a sudden, art classes have taken a huge leap forward and his homework assignment for the last two weeks was to create a colour wheel. Not just draw or paint one but to 'create' something's special. Having told me about it, I asked him what he thought he could use for his homework. His first thought was 'minis'. Uh oh. This wasn't going to be a project he could do in an hour... Jr submitted the idea of a mini divided into three primary colours, three more of secondary colours which them move into a tertiary ring of nine minis. 'That won't be cheap,' I said, 'let me see what I have in the loft'. A while back I had bought an eBay lot of used marines I thought I could use for painting practice of conversions or stuff. So we set about sorting through a pile of bits and he started gluing them up. <Pict issue> Then we went through my paint stash and selected his preferred colours I gave them a spray of Corax White <Pict issue> and we got cracking <Pict issue> It ended up being a bit of a rush job as we went away to the seaside for the weekend but we got it done. The teacher was really pleased with the effort he put in and he loved putting his hobby into his school work. I was happy to take on the role of assistant, priming and getting (some of) those basecoats on. I wonder how else we can work Warhammer into school work? Dice rolls in math...?

Hi, I'm Grotz (Jono), and my lad is 14, and has a casual interest in the hobby. He will predominantly only participate in shorter boardgame play, and has zero interest in the creative side of the hobby. He has a bit of the 'tism and since hitting double digits is largely only interested in non-fictional things, and a particular interest in modern historical war infantry weaponry. Of all the board games, he prefers Blackstone Fortress as the "bad guys" and making it as hard as possible for his mother and I.

Hello! I am Rusted Boltgun, father to one Junior Boltgun, aged 11. We play Space Hulk v.1 Kill Team '21 40k 10ed (or at least we will when we get there) Jr is developing his own homebrew Astartes chapter - a slow grow project, it develops when he picks up the brushes every couple of months. For Kill Team we have Ork Kommandos, Phobos Marines, Scouts and Vespids painted up. Plenty more squads and terrain left to paint. For Big 40K I am slowly growing Astartes and Ork armies (with smaller GSC, Tyranid and Votann forces in future).
