Hahaha it is! Its terrible! haha

I was thinking that too haha
I was going "Y'know, we should make a 'Younger Member FAQ' Area for Dakka telling them all the things NOT to do. Like using fething gloss varnish and 2$ model paints on a hobby that costs WAYYYY more. Seriously, it makes me angry.

That would be a good Idea!

well it would be a lot easier to say that cheapo paints dont stick too much on minis... but sadly it is the good paint that gets off easy... in what kind of world do we live in...?^^

Capitansolstice wrote:That would be a good Idea!

Exactly! Because it can protect any players from picking up trades and ending up spending more money than they put into it.

Hahahaha, I know, right!?
Thats what's so frusterating!

The only thing I have new to report is that I finally broke down and went to a lgs, which isn't close, and bought some new paint. However they dont carry citadel paints, just washes, so I got the Privateer Press paints, Reaper, and some Master class paints. So far I love the PP ones! They're a little thin, BUT the metallic's a leagues above what I've gotten from Citadel's.

I got some bronze, so I started with a test model for my steampunk crons. I also designed a new scenic base for my Nightbringer, and plan on adding gears and clocks to the robes. He's going to be renamed the Harbinger, and I would LOVE to make him look like a gunslinger, but thats another project entirely hahaha

I've started painting up my Tau as well, and I settled on Regal Blue and various metalics, and the accent paint is Vermin Brown, cause its more orange than brown haha

I'll do pics sometime this week probably!

sounds interesting to say the least... i am looking forward to some revealing pics tho^^ the tau scheme will be much better to understand then^^

My current project has become playing Spyro Skylanders, and hopefully getting more RAM to run Skyrim on my laptop. -sigh- hahaha

But Spyro is a totally badass game. Definately makes the holidays a little more fun xD

ohoh.... with skylanders i bet your finacial status is doomed^^ that game looks like a major money drain...but looks funny nevertheless^^

and skyrim on a laptop ...is that doable? must be pretty resources consuming that game...

hope you had good holiday time!

Nah, Skylanders isn't too draining. Just buy a new character every once in awhile, no biggie.

And yes, it is possible. It runs decently, but its not "OMG HD SKYRIM!", and my parents felt bad it was so complicated to make it run, so they got me the collectors edition xbox version too, on the promise I pay them back haha

And I did! You too mate!

I got my Scibor Minotaur lord too, and its freaking huge hahaha

yeah holidays were kinda good... one thing that happened tho... we had a water accident a few weeks ago it turned out in the kitchen... the whole cubboard and sink is soaked wet and falling apart... haven´t noticed that earlier tho... so in essence we will by new cubboards and a new ofen and hearth too as we have to redo from scratch the whole kitchen face... now that is a nice time of the year to have such things happen to one...f...k...! ^^

Ughhh that sounds like a giant fething mess hahaha

totally... couldn´t put it any other way^^

I got my trade in today, which included alot of fantasy stuff that I'm going to convert to 40k.

Some Chaos warriors and Knights, and a lot of beastmen. I'll probably turn them both into my CSM army, but I may add the Beastmen into an IG theme.

whoa... seems that you could install a revolving door for your postman... that guy keeps running to yur home every day with new stuff^^

sounds like a good plan...only thing is how will you add the beastmen to IG? RT guard or what?

Hahaha well the post office has an automatic door! hahaa xD

Well, I was thinking I could use penal legion rules for them, and give them lasguns, but I'll probably use them for my chaos. I can always use a bigger chaos army xD

and chaos knows no end... ^^...

and given the xenophobic issue the IoM has...i see no beastmen in their ranks for now...

Viktor von Domm wrote:and chaos knows no end... ^^...

To that there is much truth haha

The funny thing is that Beastmen, Dwarves and Ogres all were IG, and then they killed of Beastmen and Dwarves...the brought back Dwarves. I've got my fingers crossed at a new line of 40k beastmen hahaha

well stranger things have happened... with 40k i think comix rules aply... so no one stays dead for forever...

new edition might change everything...

wish you a happy new year!

Very true haha

40k can be unpredictable at times xD

Happy New Year, mate!

I haven't been on in about a week, but I have picked up even more stuff haha

Since I got those WoC and Beastmen, I got some clearance models at my LGS, which includes a "Manannan's Warrior Warband" for the game Celtos, and a "Carnage Miniatures" box set with a bunch of models in it, an almost complete box of Beastmen Minotaurs from Vintage Stock, and All the Skaven(Except for the Warlord) and almost all the High Elf Mage for 30$ at Vintage Stock. I just couldn't pass them up hahaha xD

But hell, 40 Clanrats, 2 rat Ogres and a Moulder, 1 Warlock engineer, a fire team, a warp thrower team, and a high elf mage for 30$? Thats a steal right there haha

hell yeah that is a steal... scaven are one of the few tempting factions that could bring me ever to start WHFB at all...

and happy new year mate!

I was hesitant, but in the end I just had to haha
My girlfriend suggested I paint them to the scheme of my two rats hahaha I have a feeling they'd be a little too cute to fit into warhammer xD

I honestly doubt I'll ever play them, or my beastmen, or my WoC hahaha but Its one of those things I just cant get past. WHFB is so appealing in so many ways, but gaming isnt one of them for me. I promised myself I wouldn't start another fantasy army after I finally got rid of my Dwarves...whoops xD haha

well the path to onlivion is littered with good intentions they say...lol...stumble all you want mate^^... and pray tell, what is there scheme? white? and brown maybe? that would be funny...

Viktor von Domm wrote:well the path to onlivion is littered with good intentions they say...lol...stumble all you want mate^^... and pray tell, what is there scheme? white? and brown maybe? that would be funny...

And lord knows my path has been littered with them haha

Well one of them is white and a light sand color, and the other is white and dark brown. I'm tempted to make the two Rat Ogres painted like them hahaha but I'm not sure is Boba and Elvira are good names for Rat Ogres

definatly good names... definatly! if you can´t have fun in naming such heavies for an army of orks or for that matter skaven where could you? besides...like the scheme already!
