StruManChu Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Having just spent the last half hour fiddling with guitar wire, I think its time to invest in a green stuff tube making kit! Man, freaking tell me about it... I've been playing guitar since I was 13, the same amount of time I've been painting tiny plastic men, and I cannot work with guitar string. So frustrating!

Same here brother! Mines not even been dispatched yet! What!? Really? How long has it been? Mine usually dispatches within 4-5 days of the order (I'm assuming they make nearly everything we get on a per-order basis, thus the delay) and then receive it within 2 weeks, since it has to cross the Atlantic and such.

Slips Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Oh ok...For some reason I thought it had been ~1 week or so lol.

Fire Golem Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Haha it's dragging for me too, believe me ;) if they cast stuff to order, you'd think their quality control could be a little better, I know sometimes the quality is a little...shaky from FW right?

Fire Golem Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Dammit really? Ugh. Yeah I'm a nightmare with payday Fridays, a big chunk of my wages normally goes on the same day... It's gonna be a shock to my system when I have to pay for those non essentials like bills and food ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/295904-casual-30k-hobby-challenge-month-1/page/17/#findComment-3805416 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reyner Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Try moving out and saving for a chuffing wedding. But I do have a large backlog of stuff to build/paint from going a bit mental at Games Day.. And just before it.. I'll post my Sicaran on Friday - still need to assemble the sponsons and take the mould line off the main guns then to paint it! All lovely Iron and hazard stripes!

Slips Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Backlogs, the unsung wallet heroes :P Its the only reason why I truly slowed down on my purchases; unless something I MUST HAVE NOW DAMNT! (Dorn, Sigismund, Templar Brethren..) come out, and actually saved some money. That Space Hulk Release though....

Fire Golem Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 That Space Hulk Release though.... Don't get me started on that. Another limited release after I'd spent my hobby money, this is the second time I'm gonna miss out on that bloody set.

Slips Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 I get paid this thursday...so yeah I'm one lucky SoB since it goes on pre-order the day after :p Will probably buy one for myself and one for posterity.... Or both for myself, depends on how hard it is to remove the BA iconography...though I don't really need anymore terminators... Also would be nice to have an uber-large Space Hulk Board.

Fire Golem Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 I've always wanted to play Space Hulk, and I'm gonna miss out on it again :( and after seeing Heathens and Armond's ZM game the board can be dual purpose... But no it has to be limited edition again.

Slips Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Limited RUN. Knowing GW, they might pull this stunt again or you might get lucky and find a set at a LGS or Ebay for roughly the same price. Maybe even a pawn shop for uber cheap...but we ain't all THAT lucky.

Fire Golem Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 I certainly am not that lucky haha. But yeah they probably will do it again but... I might just buy the tiles for ZM off eBay. I have the Space Hulk app on my iPad for nowww.

Grimtalos Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Amazing Chaplain Daismith906, cant wait to see more of the First Legion. I have finally undercoated my Emperor's Children. Although I have not painted in over a year, so found out some of my paints have dried out. So off to Dark Sphere to stock up on purple and metallic paints. Also not wanting to jump on to a HQ model after a year break, I decided yesterday to paint up a Sons of Horus marine. I had this model laying around for god knows how long, he looks a bit like a SOH so had a go at the scheme. He came out quite a bit darker than I wanted, but its a start. Will be painting up some Reavers and Terminators in SOH Colours as well as my EC. My pledge this month is still a EC centurion, hope to have some WIP up later today. http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j175/Talos_photos/P1020900_zps48b5ceea.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/295904-casual-30k-hobby-challenge-month-1/page/17/#findComment-3805588 Share on other sites More sharing options...
