Evening all!

I've recently found this site & i was simply blown away by it. I've always felt a little alone when it comes to Warhammer/Warhammer 40k with where i live being the only person within what feels like 1000 miles of the next player.

Anyway i don't play much anymore i'm more of a builder/painter. Sell it then start a new.
You all seem very up-to-date on all things Warhammer/40k & i've read some great things about painting, modelling etc.

I hope to be able to add something positive to an already awesome community.

Welcome!

I know this is abit of a newbie question but...
Is there a thread for posting pictures specifically? Or do i have to make one?
I figured it better to ask before acting it out & causing hassle for folks.

Cheers

Oh & thanks for the warm welcome messages ^.^

Welcome mate!

Welcome!

Im in the same boat m8 none of my mates play and i can only get to the GW store for games every so often, so like you most of my time is spent modelling and painting but that is nowhere near a bad thing in my eyes .

Hi Isirith! I like collecting and talking with other players more than playing the game. For me playing is just another part of the hobby. I only paint to a crude table top level, but it's fun to do, very relaxing to put on a pod cast or some good movie soundtracks and paint an evening by....

I'd love to see pics of your models! Have you ever done any Sisters of Battle? They are my favorites, show us if you have, kay?

May your joy in painting be a joy to your viewers!

Heya!

@pj-brainz - I'm lucky if i get to GW there's not one in my local town. So instead i have to use a third-party store for all my Warhammer related supplies...it's not a bad little shop. But it doesn't pack everything you need, so a GW wouldn't be a miss. Hehe

@Petite Francois - I used to play.. But i found the game to be a step to high for me. I had to keep looking through books cause i could never remember a single rule or skill so ofcourse it slowed the game right down & people just got fed up. So that's why i've stepped down & would just rather create armies for others who don't have the time or patients to but like to wreck havoc!

I've recently put up my first attempt at Iron Warriors in the P&M section.
I've got some Ultramarines that need to be finished i'll be sure to post a thread with pictures about them once their fully complete.

I can't say i have tried a Sisters of Battle army. I'll do some research on them. You never know they could well be the next one i go for. Although Grey Knights have always looked rather tempting...the only thing that's off putting is the price! Yeouch!

Isirith.
