Hey guys, I'm just wondering if any of you on issues ahead of me, if you have gotten more brushes or tools?  My last issue was 50 and the last tool I got was the texture spreader in issue 44.

 

As a person with a casual interest in Warhammer I find the magazine great.  I really just want to learn to paint the model, but all the lore bits in the magazine are great.  I've seen people online valuing each issue solely based on the models.  Overall I think it's great vaule, considering the models seem to be overpriced to me.  Any paint issues that are cheaper to buy the paints outright, the cost is offset by everything else; value of the entire series, rules for those who play the game, a good paint guide for beginners like me, all the lore, extras like rulers, play mats, tokens, terrain markers etc.

 

I know someone joked up above about a Horus Heresy series.  Would that ever be likely?  It seems like the Horus Heresy miniatures have much more resin kits which I thought were more expensive, but on looking at the website I'm not so sure.  I'm not sure I understand the pricing at all by GW 

The command squad in plastic for HH is 42 euro for 5 miniatures

This really cool squad of 5 miniatures from HH is 39.50 euro in resin.  Although they are missing weapons.

3 plastic miniatures of 40k space marines, 50 euro 

5 plastic miniatures ok 40k SM's, 55 euro 

10 plastic miniatures of 40k SM's, 135 euro

Oof that €135 box is absurd…

 

 

Back to the magazine:

 

Hearthguard issue is this week in UK by the way. Snagged a copy today from Morrison’s for my son for a stocking filler. 75% discount on RRP for that issue.
