Redemptor Nemiel Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 I'm looking to buy the Imperial armour model masterclass books from Forge world and was wondering if anyone has them and if they're any good/worth the price tag? Many thanks. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/275065-model-masterclass-forge-world/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toxichobbit Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 They're good and worth the price tag (in that the information is solid, the quality is good and the subject is relevant), but I think almost all, if not all of the techniques are brought over from military modelling and could be found online or in military magazines for significantly cheaper. So, if you want to see the techniques on 40k models in one place in a very nicely presented book, then it's a good buy. If your happy to do research into the techniques and dip into military modelling, then it's on the expensive side. Most of the techniques in there deal with weathering and adding micro detail to vehicles. You'll find a good number of the techniques in use on these boards if you spend some time reading through various topics (the ones with a decent page count are a good place to start). I'm only talking about Volume 1, as I don't have Volume II yet. i'm told it's "more of the same with different models" though.

DarkMark Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 For £5 a pop you won't buy a better mag online than the AK ones. The physical versions always sell out world wide, they're that good. You may want to take a look at FAQ 2 as well. For awesome freeness download the catalogue that includes lots of step-by-steps!

MajorKhaos Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 I have both. Yes the seconds is more of the same, but it's all good background reading / browsing, definitely worth having. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/275065-model-masterclass-forge-world/#findComment-3366410 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redemptor Nemiel Posted May 7, 2013 Author Share Posted May 7, 2013 Thank you all for the replies, I've bitten the bullet and just ordered them, I think having all the knowledge in one place and relevant to 40k will make life easier. I'll definitely checked out your suggestions as well DarkMark. Thanks again.
