Most are home made. I think if anyone was producing this stuff for sale, they'd get sued by you know who. I've seen a pair of space marine costumes that were made for a video game company for...
They had charts in the back of the old Rogue Trader books for generating random equipment for each race.
I seem to remember the squats had access to more unconventional weaponry, like conversion...
Model wargaming has always been an expensive niche hobby. It was never cheap. In many cases, the plastic kits are cheaper then the metal blister packs used to be. I've been playing since first...
I use to use 1 foot terrain tiles (made on top of commercial wooden floor tiles), but I stopped for one big reason... not only are the lines annoying, but people figured out they could park their...
Cutting off sales to retailers would be insane. If you carry GW products at all in your store, you've probably have a couple thousand dollars of their product sitting on your shelves (or more). ...
Naw, it shouldn't harm the paint. Model railroad people have entire setups for creating smoke for scale model steam locomotives, and they go nuts on painting, weathering, and decals.
I agree with him. If you're not going to have a quad gun on the aegis line, then it makes even less sense to me to have your chaos lord sitting around.
You should have a plan for every unit you...
The one with the cultists will probably survive longer... but, what exactly is he going to accomplish in the game? Seems a weird waste of a chaos lord. I don't take any unit without having a...
if the shyshield is unfurled (sides folded down), then jump units, jet packs units, jetbikes and skimmers don't need to take a dangerous terrain test when moving on to or off the shyshield. If it's...
Yeah, the language is unclear.
But that will all change when they get a new codex. The newer format books (like chaos space marines) are all pretty clear on what you have to give up in order to...
Autocannons are fun.
I used to use giant packs of chaos cultists with 2 autocannons. Blew up a leman russ once. If I remember right, back then chaos cultists needed a 6 to even hit. It hit,...
I so totally agree with him. Seriously, paint what you like.
The only reason to pick something "popular" is if you're planning to make something purely to sell it, and you even then it's a bad...
Yeah, I agree that they're going overboard here a little... but this is part of a bigger movement going on with games workshop.
If you've been following some of their attempts to sue indie...
woops, didn't see that last bit about already trying a pencil sharpener.
have you tried makeup pencil sharpeners? they're for sharpening eyeliner pencils. They're built a little different then a...
Definitely go with chaos, it wins hands down.
You have all those themes to work with: brutal Khorne armies, nurglesque zombies, refined and elegant slaaneshi armies, ornate and baroque tzeentch...
I lost over 2/3rd's of my army at a tournament game, and still won by the end, because my opponent wasn't even paying attention to the victory conditions.
The scenario had a central objective in...
Talking to the TO won't work... he's obviously sniffing his own fumes.
Drops in attendance probably won't mean much to him at all... in his mind, everything is perfect, so problems obviously lie...
Naw, they were cyborgs then too. The pilot was inside the ball shaped upper torso, in a foetal position with a tap directly into his spinal column.
In the original rogue trader (1st edition) the...
I agree... I've run into "adults" more annoying then any child could ever be... I've had a guy who was in his late 20's pick up one of my models without asking, and break a piece off by...
Amazing work there... I have to second that comment about the strong yellow. First space marine chapter I did was yellow and black, and painting yellow I soon learned is a pain. That is a super...
Use brush cleaner:
It's something you'll have to go find at an actual art store. I've never seen it in a hobby store. Brush cleaner is just a sort of soap in a waxy cake form, but it's really...
Wraithlords are grown out of wraithbone, not built. All of the eldar stuff is based on a super advanced bio-organic technology. So poison actually makes a weird sort of sense.
Forget poison...
I've been playing since 1st edition (rogue trader), and I've only seen a single squat army in real life. Saw a few on the internet later on, but only a single army actually owned by anyone I knew. ...
Nothing wrong with spam, it makes more tactical sense.
It increases your odds of achieving whatever plan you have for the battle. One off units are fun, but it sucks when you roll badly and...
