Kids painting

Mon, 15 Jun 2026 13:29:40 +0000

This weekend I was able to have my son Chris start painting a Space Marine, Lt. Titus model.

With the citadel AoS paint set, I had him start painting, LT. Titus, but in Crimson Fist Colors. I forgot to take a pic of when we stopped.

Hello

Mon, 27 Oct 2025 18:47:27 +0000

So I am W.A.Rorie and I am (Step) Dad to 6 boys. My wife has one biological (adult) son with her ex husband and they adopted the other 6. I will going to be starting the process of legally adopting them shortly as their adopted father has passed away. I have no kids of my own.

My sons are:

12 years old (Eldar originally Genestealer cult but did not want to pursue it and was given an Eldar army from one of Gaming clubmates)
11 Years old (Blood Angels)
11 Years old (Ultramarines originally wanted Deathguard but decided against it )
10 years old (Necrons)
The other 2 boys are 7 and still too young.

Looking to intro my nephew to the hobby, advice needed

Mon, 02 Feb 2026 20:38:00 +0000

My daughter is still far too young to be introduced to the hobby, but I have a nephew who is 13, nearly 14. We play a lot of video games together, as well as some board games and tabletop football. He has shown an interest in my minis, my setup, and the WH setting, but he is instantly turned off from playing because of the maths element of the game. I have offered to ease him into the game the best I can, but maths is a topic he really struggles with, to the point of anxiety.

I was wondering if anyone had been in a similar position and could offer advice on how to introduce him without overwhelming him?

Father of a young girl

Hi all.

I'm not sure how applicable the things in this club will be for me, given at the moment my daughter is only a young toddler, but I will be reading avidly of your experiences for if/when the time comes that my daughter expresses an interest in the hobby.

I don't think it's something I would seek to actively 'push' onto my daughter, because at the end of the day this is a hobby and we all enjoy different things etc. However, I am aware that children watch what mum and dad do, very closely haha!

Thanks for having me!

Using Warhammer in Class

Tue, 18 Nov 2025 23:23:47 +0000

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.

Then we went through my paint stash and selected his preferred colours

I gave them a spray of Corax White

and we got cracking

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...?
