TerraZero20 Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 TITH: I purchased White Dwarf number 70 and had ideas on a possible Dark Angels army thanks to the new upgrade kits and spent an hour or so clipping the left over bits from kits I had purchased into my bits box.

Viridia Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Found out about the new upgrade packs and the assault squad kit in GW's email, now bitterly wishing I still used my Ultras. On another note, I'm starting to save up for Phalanx in June, since I need to get some extra storage trays for my figures in order to halt their tireless occupation of my computer desk. (It looks like the siege of Helm's Deep next to my monitor) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Chaplain Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 (edited) Today I am at my wit's end. After some unfortunate circumstances, I had to move my belongings around. When it came time to set my new airbrush back up... ...the thing decided it wasn't going to work. I've cleaned it, disassembled and reassembled it. I've similarly vented the tank on my compressor. Nada. I really wish Badger had repairmen to come out to your house. I'm not a mechanical engineer dang it!

Stoic Raptor Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Today in the hobby I finally learned how to properly apply Martian Ironearth. Like Agrellan Earth, I never realized it had to go on so thick! Using my new texture tool, I spread it thick on the bases of my DW Knights yesterday and let it dry overnight. It looks amazing! But the coat that I'd applied to the bases of my DW Command squad last week didn't turn out as well - so I pried those Terminators off the bases, sanded them down, reapplied the proper thickness of Ironearth and let it dry while I was out playing Conquest. When I got home they looked wonderful. Sealed them all with Lahmian Medium and then drybrushed them with Ratskin Flesh and they really are the easiest bases I've done in a while. Sure beats the old glue and gravel approach. Now if I could only think of stuff to add a little variety to the bases. Static grass doesn't sound like a good idea since what would grow in such parched soil? Perhaps clumps of brown lichen to simulate tumbleweeds? Parched bones and skulls?

Phantomzero17 Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Yesterday in the hobby I found out on Thursdays at his local game shop the guy gives them x amount of credit for y they spend on 40k. I might need to funnel some of hobby purchases through my uncle. Guess he's gotten some warriors boxes through it already I'd like to increase my vehicle pool and nab some marines for it.

Seriously, if I found out Agrax Earthshade was actually a long-game Tzeentch trick inserted into our collective hobby to incite rebellion when GW changes the formula 5 years later, I wouldn't be too surprised.

There's a reason Devlan Mud was dubbed "Liquid Talent". That said, it can be done improperly or overdone, and then you get diminishing returns.

Bukimimaru Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 A few weeks ago I sent word around my local game stores and gaming friends that I wanted to start up my own little gaming group. Last night we had our first official group meeting, complete with beer, 4 gaming tables and the first round of our Six Up Save league. Our Youtube batrep chanel is in its early stages preparing for our first uploads. Next weekend we take a trip to Warhammer World and have an apoc game on one of their massive tables! It's a great time to be in this hobby. :D Teetengee and Viridia 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, they'll have to change the formula sooner or later. There's only a limited supply of the unicorn blood and pixie dust they currently use in it's creation!

Redrandy93 Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Today I planned on my reinforcements for my Ultra marines. The new upgrade set, 2 Assault sets and 2 Devastor sets. May buy a SW upgrade set for my son's SW army. I have not been this excited for a while about WH40k. I may even order a Adeptus Mechanicus Kastelan Robots set.

Teetengee Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Today in the hobby I painted at work during my lunch break for the first time. My over desk lights won't stay on though, so an otherwise well lit area is not particularly great for painting.

AceofCase Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Today in the hobby, I finally received my MK IV Command Set and MK III power weapon set from Forge World. Now I just need to get some more helmet crests, some alternative storm shields, and the new codex so that I can finally plan my 4th Company Command Squad. I also started working on my second tactical squad for my current DIY project last night. Just need to dig around and find my old devastator sprues... missile launchers just look so boring on a space marine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phalanx Warder Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Today I got absolutely smashed in a 3000pt game, in 2.5 game turns I lost 2065pts and killed off about about 550pts in return......... not a happy boy, not because I lost (something I do a lot) but how I lost.

That's always rough. Did you learn anything interesting from it? Sometimes the worst defeats teach us the most profound lessons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
