I've seen a couple threads lately concerning pricing for GW products (shocker, right?) and wanted to see about helping out.

I hope I'm not violating any rules by offering, if I am, I'll assume this'll be locked, -fragment missing-'d.

For anyone on the east coast USA and have been to Cold Wars in PA can verify, GW set's up a rather large booth in a separate building, along with PP, to do the wholesale gig.

I suppose my question would be, as I'm headed there in March, if anyone would like me to snag things for them...I can. I can say from experience the prices are great, 50% off in most cases. So I mean, if there's a tank you want that wouldn't normally buy, or that final squad you're putting off, I can see if they have the goods and pick'em up for you.

Of course we're not talking thousands of dollars here, I *am* after all, a married man.

Again, if this thread is out of line in any way...I apologize. I just saw an opportunity to help out, especially for those AUS players that are looking for some cheaper alternatives.

PM I guess...or reply here. I've got three weeks before I'm due to head out so...let me know!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/429931/3914448.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/429931/3914448.page GMT

I could never crack a 4th ed Nidzilla list. Not even once. Tried melta and plasma spam, did everything I knew, but no dice :'( In Blood Bowl I've had the worst luck against Nurgle teams for whatever reason as well (curse you Disturbing Presence!), though I still show 'em what for every now and then. In Anima I've never once killed the Legacy, though I have wiped the rest of the team using it.

What have you learned from dakka? What have you archieved with its help, and what have you contributed that you are proud of?

I have learne A LOT of painting related things, and my skill has greatly improved thanks to this site. Same with my in game tactics and list building.

I've also recieved quite some feedback on my models, wich I am very grateful for.

My biggest (or most useful) contribution was this thead, wich is a collection of painting and modelling advie. Many people have shared their secret tricks, and you can learn a lot from this thread:

I'll start this off with what my girlfriend did to my Forgeworld Venerable Dreadnaught after a heated exchange :bleep: involving me painting. I'd just about finished painting it up, had attatched the banner etc and working on a few last details and had left it to dry while eating dinner. Later that night we had a 'disagreement' about something and ended up dangerously close to my paint station, basically I started to put it away and as I had it in my hand she swiped it and it went flying to the floor. Result = Snapped Banner, 1 Part of the Wing broken, Power Claw arm and Claws broken off and Finally the Dread had been broken in 1/2 between the torso and legs. In the end we patched things up and I fixed him up as good as possible and learnt to stay clear of the paint station area during arguments. :thumbsup:

Would like to hear your stories too guys.

I noticed their trays for Russes and Chimeras are listed as being 3" tall. Do you feel that's enough height to fit your tanks safely without removing the turrets, or would you recommend getting a slightly taller custom tray? Just eyeballing it, 3" looks a smidge short with the turrets on, but I could easily be wrong about that.

The only place online I've had any luck finding them has been at The Warstore. Unfortunately, though, the rules are ALL I want. At TWS, you've got to add the free rules download into your shopping cart to have them send you a link after check out. It won't let you check out with just the rules, though, because you have "no items in your shopping cart."

I bought a bunch of these models, pre-painted, at a gaming flea market/bazaar this weekend because I really liked the way they looked and were painted. I thought it would be cool to check out the rules for them.

Does anyone have a copy of the free pdf they could send me or know where I can download one myself?

I require your assistance!

It is my goal to make a video showcasing armies from various games, painted models, stats, tactical knowledge (strength and weaknesses), and any other various tips / need to know info that may be available. If anyone who reads this could send me a bit of info on their chosen army it would save me a hell of a lot of research and interview hours.

The armies from games I'll be show casing in my videos are as follows:

--Warhammer Fantasy
--Warhammer 40k
--Flames of war
--Warmachine
--Hordes

These are games showcased at my local game store so I'm starting out with these, if there are other games that are popular out there that I didn't list please let me know and I'll add them to the list for a future video.

I will be starting with Warhammer 40k but if you have anything you'd like to share about the other games listed please feel free to send me that as well. If you'd like to see some of my work (I only have one video now so it'll have to do.) Please check it out : http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=XFmqJwn7tds (I'm hoping to get better editing programs so I can make better quality videos in the near future.)

PLEASE send your info to me here on Dakka Dakka, I'd post an email or a website to send or post it all on but none of that is currently available for use right now so please just send it to me here on Dakka Dakka if you'd like to help me out. Thank you!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/428516/3888075.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/428516/3888075.page GMT
It seems to me like every other post in the P&M Showcase is some commission painter using Dakka to shill his work for him. I don't mind seeing commission painters posting their work, but I'd definitely like to know it ahead of time. When I go to someone's thread expecting to see a piece they're looking for honest critique on, it's annoying to find a different sort of post altogether. People who are painting for money aren't looking for my criticism or suggestions, all they want is everyone to go 'ooh,' 'aah,' and 'here's some money!' When I come to a thread thinking it's from a regular painter, and find some commission painter, I feel like some street hustler is trying to run a con job on me.

It's not a big deal really, I just wish the posters would announce up front that it's a commission piece. Otherwise, it seems like it's designed to get me as the reader to go 'oh, look, this model is awesome, it's amazing, how does someone get something this good, and oh look, this guy will paint MY models for me for a few bucks!' It seems incrediblly dishonest, and not what Dakka is about.

If everyone disagrees with me, I'm perfectly willing to just zip and sit back down, but I'd like to know what everyone thinks.

my story is when I went in to do some painting and converting of a Iron Lich Asphyxious to make him into a Necron Overlord, so some SM player comes up to me and asked what base model I was using and I said it wasn't a GW model he just shrugged and walked away, seconds later the manager comes up to me and asked me to leave, when I asked him why he said because I was using non GW models, I was suitably annoyed but left calmly.

So what are your horror stories ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/428340/3884535.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/428340/3884535.page GMT 40K, I have not been able to get many games under my belt. I started 40k when 5th Edition first came out, and have only played about 10 games in total since then.
But, I still am interested in getting into the gaming aspect of the hobby and I decided to try my luck in a program called Vassal, a program where you can play online board games with other people in real time. And one of those games happened to be 40K... [url]http://vassal40k.wordpress.com/[/url]

So that got me really excited and I created an army on Vassal, one that I thought I would test virtually before making a purchase. Just out of curiosity how often can you get a game of 40K in? It all looks so complicated...

http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?prodId=prod1160042a

(BEFORE OPENING) Initially I was excited. The detail in the model looked great. The texture looked slightly rough, just rough enough to give that latex paint some tooth to grip to.

(AFTER OPENING) Wow :bioniceye: The mini is soft and rubbery and feels brittle. Never before have I felt that I should worry about snapping a powersword in half. There is still the standard 1mm thick mold line I have to file off, I guess I will have to be extra careful prepping and storing this mini.

For me, it was the last tournament I attended. I was playing in the final round against a Blood Angels opponent and he had turned the tide against me. I was losing and he knew he had me in the preverbial death roll. In one of the final turns, I turned and my elbow knocked his Stormraven from the table, sending it to the floor. It burst into a few pieces and I quickly collected them. I turned to him and said, "All I can say is, 'I'm sorry.'" He placed the base back on the table and we completed our game.

I came to find out later that my Sportsmanship score in that particular game was tanked. Like, 2 out of 10 (I think). It was quite poor. I am of the belief that my opponent thought I did that on purpose, but that was not the case. I have not seen that particular opponent since to talk to him about it, but I was curious about Dakka's experiences.

I've been playing GW games since 1992, and I personally really love the company and the games it has produced over the years and specifically my favorite game of all time Warhammer 40k, not the least of which because of the spectacular universe they created for the game.

At this point I sadly don't get to play as much 40K as I like because of my crazy work schedule, so actually tournaments are where I mainly do my gaming now. I love 5th edition and it is easily my favorite of all the 40K editions (and I've played them all) and I look forward to whatever crazy (or not so crazy) changes 6th edition brings to my beloved hobby.

Oh, and the Throne of Skulls tournament GW put on last year in Vegas was the absolute best tournament I've ever been to. The format was a little wacky, but I liked it as a nice change of pace from what I normally play, but the completely catered event (and the Vegas location) made it just an amazing experience.

I also really like Finecast models. Beyond the casting issues (which I've been able to avoid), I find the material to be much more pleasant to work with than metal, so the switch to Finecast from metal has made me happier overall.

Finally, I really like GW's current trend of making plastic kits that basically can be used to make one of two different units. I recognize that it affects some of the ability to make the models completely unique (as they have to share parts for the other configuration), but overall I think it really allows some nice flexibility to the kits and armies all while not completely taxing store shelf space (because you're getting two different codex choices for one box).


So that's my brief love letter about some of what I enjoy regarding GW. What about you?

The putty is easy to mold and could be useful for terrain. The part that makes it useful compared to foam is that it's cure on demand. It is easily workable and never hardens until a spot is heated up. Once the spot is heated up, it hardens in a wave spreading throughout the whole of it. Once it finishes after thirty seconds it has a hard surface, that is good for painting, or flocking. It does rolling gradually sloped hills pretty well too.

Do you think its worth it to also market it for easy terrain building?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/427117/3862945.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/427117/3862945.page GMT
there are many aspects of this hobby, like painting and modelling, tournamet gaming, fun gaming, fluffing, meeting with fellow gamers...... but everyone has his/her favourite aspect, and I'm wondering how it is distributed. How many of you are here for the gaming, and how many for the painting? or are you here for something different? I used to like fun gaming best, but the lack of fellow gamers where i live has caused me to turn to p&m-ing and fluff writing.

How about you? ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/427035/3861284.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/427035/3861284.page GMT GW are still trying to hawk this game (see todays gw whats new).After being told several times by my local store how great and unmissable this game is i was suprised to see six(yes six)copies of it still on the shelves.
Anyone else think GW is flogging a dead hose here,or am i just being a moody git.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/427003/3860707.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/427003/3860707.page GMT 40k its incredible. I have a 3560 Point Ork Army, a 4000(ish) IG Army and I've lost count of my Nids. So i hit the books and am wanting to create my own wargame with the character card system as well as miniatures that Warmachine uses but this is where i'm stuck.

I know i want the game to be called "Genesis" as in the Fluff the "Genesis Program" was a series of operations and training excersises the EDN (Earth Defence Network) put in place to make a form of "Super" Human to go out into the universe and discover a new means of Habitable Planetry System. On the way into the universe the PISP's (Personal Intersteller Security Pods) the "Genesis Soldiers" were housed in were hit hard by a darkened energy frying half of the fifty Soldiers leaving them a pile of goop in their PISP's.

This leads on to lots of bad guys and bad guys who claim to be good guys but are really bad guys and so on and so forth. The part i'm stuck on is that I want it to be a game with lots of units and all out wars, but I want the leaders and Genesis Soldiers to play a larger part then they have in any other miniature wargame to date. So i dont know if i want the game to be more leader models and only a few soldiers and make it leader based with their effects helping spesific units in the army or do i want to make it kind of leader based but heavily infantry and tank based much like Games-Workshops games.

This is where you as a community of wargamers come into it. What would you want to play? are you happy with games like 40k? or do you want lots of leaders and fewer infantry and tanks? please input all comments are welcome and hopefully we will see Genesis on tabletops soon.

Come on people i need some help D:]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/426948/3859725.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/426948/3859725.page GMT GW stores have quite some limited edition stuff for sale the 25th of februari,
a mousemat and a free IE badge and some other stuff.

Is anyone buying this? anyone already got their hands on some of the items?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/426941/3859677.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/426941/3859677.page GMT GW and have ragequit and enjoy parading that fact around like a medal of honor, there is definitely a thread on this page for you.

But if you actually enjoy GW games, enjoy the models, and haven't sworn a blood oath to dance on their grave, then this thread is for YOU!

Let's hear about your years of commitment, your model collections, and future plans! Have a great game lately? An exciting army idea? a campaign? let's hear it!

SOMEONE out there MUST still be having a good time...

Myself, I am currently involved in a 40k Apocalypse campaign (lots of house rules to temper the potential for crazy)... I started a VC collection for fantasy based on those beautiful models, but I find I might have to shelf that project if I ever hope to finish these Dark Eldar (amongst my commission work).

Just tonight I got to watch a viscous battle for a bridge... 6k Apoc: CSM vs. IG. It was two seperated tables connected by a foot wide, 18" long bridge, which was the only objective! Lots of brutal violence all around... but the climax was Yarrick and a unit of Ogryns storming the bridge in the last turn and clearing it of plague marines!

NEXT PURCHASES: Still trying to decide whether to expand into wracks and grotesques or wyches and hellions first...

So if you live on the way to Lombard IL from New Hampshire or anywhere nearby in New England and want to go to this let me know. My game club buddies at my FLGS come first serve of course but so far none have RSVP'd.
-This is just to get an idea, more details to follow once i get a head count....the more people tagging along the cheaper everything becomes....

GW is not lenient on prices and is even worse when it comes to bigger objects eg titans and stompas

This is less of a guide and more of a caution to players. Here I have a few tips that I use and should help you save some money

Tip 1: Games workshop is your last resort
GW prices are incredibly expensive these days. Go figure. Last time I checked, Ghazgull thraka is $50 in plastic. You should not have to pay that much for a piece of plastic. There are so many other ways to get your mini's, and for less than half the price. EBay, Warhammer online stores are a great way of saving bucket loads of cash. Generally EBay is reliable and isn't too much hassle.
You can buy a codex at GW for $50 or so, why do that when you can get it for $20-$30 on EBay? The only time you should buy from GW is paints ( It's hard to find good paints other than Citadel) and maybe for the occasional AOBR or a start from a squad. GW are ripping of hundreds of people and they think they are getting a good deal. Employees will try to convince you it is, but that's a load of junk.

Tip 2: Why buy when you already have?
GW ends up selling you stuff that you can probably find lying around the house. They sell paintbrushes, glue and even pots to wash out your brush in. Most of this stuff you should already have.
Another great example of this is the modelling sand they sell. I went to look at it over the weekend, thinking it was something special, but all it really is sand. Just plain ol' sand you can get anywhere on the beach at Redcliffe etc. They sell a small pot of sand for $15. They probably spend about 2.50 on the sand and the container. That’s $12.50 profit, which is more than 80%.
Ridiculous. What else is there to say?

Tip 3: Mix and match
Here is a great example of how to save money. I needed a 11 man loota squad for an upcoming tournament. I got the squad for around $55; the normal price for an 11 man loota squad is $82. All you need is one GW boxed loota set, 2 extra torsos and 4 ork boys in a boxed set. Assembly the 4 lootas with the mek. Next using the rokkit launcher and big shooter that is in the loota box, make 2 converted lootas. Now you have 6 lootas and one mek. Now, I have a friend who’s crazy about burnas. He bought the boxed set as well, and we decided to trade, my burna bits for his loota bits. Then, using the ork boys set, make yourself another 4 lootas. You now have an 11 man loota squad, At only half price. Easy or what?

I hope this is a help to new players about to spend thousands of dollars on GW products. Enjoy!
