Well, Im picking up 2 lots of the Dark Vengance Chaos on Saturday, so that 40 cultists, enough for some gangers

I just have my scummer Gene to paint and they're all done!
I went down to Hobbycraft today to get some new paintbrushes and picked a nice fine detail brush, I also picked up a pack of 4 brushes for £2.50 I wasn't expecting them to last long as they were cheap, but they did have some nice points on them. When I got home I realised that the reason they have nice points on them was because they had been GLUED in place!!! Once i had rinsed off the glue the were all splayed. Very unhappy with that.
I was looking for some bitz to use as terrain, but being on a budget and not really knowing what I was doing, I only came away with a can of metallic silver spray paint, I was thinking of doing some weathering to my pile of rubbish terrain I've thrown together, but we'll see how that turns out!

Yeah I avoid cheap (or cheaply made looking at you GW) brushes like the plague, they maybe expensive but sable brushes really are the only way to go. I've been using one set of sable brushes for well over a year now and they're still going strong.

Where did you get them from nick!!

Wayland Games, £2.79 a pop for the sizes you're most likely to need (1, 0 and 2/0).

Might have to get some of them fed up with buying GW ones every couple of weeks!!

Are yes nick, slipped my mind. Sorry wesker already got a game.

you could always try the Army Painter paintbrushes, they come in 2 types, hobby and Wargamer, they're on maelstrom games.
And yes Dribblie 35pts sound good.

Well done, of course there's always a chance of getting 2 games in if we're relatively quick, unlikely I'll admit but it is possible.

I should be getting excited to go buy dark vegence this morning but im not!! Somthing is telling me not to bother just invest in something else like infinity or dropzone commander!! Dilema what to do?

Buy it, then give it to me!
I'm going to get it at some point, but being on a limited budget, I don't know when, may have to wait for Christmas
I've decided I'm going to do a Death Guard army. Having gone from Orks (die easily) to Dark Eldar (die easily) I want to do Nurgle Marines (wont die easily!)

Shredder i'm in the same boat, would quite like it for the cultists but can't rationalize the cost to myself. I've got too many projects on the go and two armies I've not even used yet.

Chaos? As if dirty xeno's weren't bad enough.

I'm all for playing the bad guys!
Although to my mind SM are just as evil as the rest. The fluff for the Imperium stands for everything I'm against - knowledge is heresy, blind faith is a virtue, routinely sterilizing planets if the indigenous population don't appear to be of value...nasty people I say (although that last point doesn't come up in my daily schedule very often, but I wouldn't agree with it if it did!).

Nah that's all xeno propaganda. The imperium is fluffy and nice.

Good news to all you fantasy players, I just picked up a load of new scenery.

Anyone up for a 35 pts game of Warmachine on Monday?

Also, anyone got a camera I can borrow to photo a mini I've painted up?

Already playing gorillawizard sorry!!

Mwwahh Haa Haa! Dark Vengeance is mine!
Dear God what have I done!

Hey ho, anyone want to trade the bikers from Dark vengance for the tactical marines? I need more bikes

Very good game last night sparx, really enjoyed that one.

If anyone wants to trade their Dark Vengeance Dark Angels for my Chaos let me know.

im planning a total penal legion imperial guard army, with veterans with shotguns and riot shields (counts as grenadiers in carapace armour), the commander being a prison warden commissar. The army will consist of lots of penal legionaires supported by vet riot troops in chimeras, lots of priests to guide the convicts, psykers, and ogyrns. Vehicles mainly hellhounds for riot control and perhaps a gunship or 2, what do ya think guys!!!!

I think you should jump off the 40k wagon and run...

I know but i still keep wanting to play it again!!

Well I've found 6th to be a lot more enjoyable than 5th was, ok I've only had one game but it feels a lot more narrative than it previously did. Plus the focus on objectives with the greater variety of missions should keep things fresh for longer.

@Dribblie77, I think you should go for it, it sounds like an awesome project. Also, Discuss Animosity with Nick and join us for the Campaign Weekend with your Penal Legion!

Right, Warmachine on Monday anyone?

Indeed nick found it very enjoyable, and the new rules seem to be getting easier to grasp.

Does anyone have one of these - http://www.bitsandkits.co.uk/chaos-defiler-head-b-p-5384.html i would be willing to pay you something for it if you have one.

Cheers.

I should have one somewhere you can have it if I can find it.

Yep I'll give you a game Stormwell, no idea whether it'll be Menoth or Retribution though.
