Yeah would make sense, was hoping not to have the terrain early on, as I don’t really want it..

Way I figure it, it’s the quickest way to get a more rounded gaming experience.

And for those who drop out the entire run, it’s enough of a collection to expand upon later?

In terms of the tools?

Clippers are good. Previous pair long past being springy, so nice to have some new ones, spesh as they’re freebies. Comfortable to hold, decent point for GW’s infamous (if infrequent) odd positioning of sprue channels. (Dunno the technical name!)

Mould line remover is a bit dainty for me, but then I’ve got massive strangler’s hands. I imagine it’s probably a more deft tool in the hands of a kid. Either way, it still does the job, but I swapped out to my full sized one pretty quickly. That being said, being all small and dainty, it’s not a bad backup to held in your travelling kit. Certainly should you be in the unfortunate position of having to clean up a broken model before regluing, it’ll be up to the task.

Glue is glue is glue. It’s standard GW Polycement, something I’ve never really had problems with, barring a poor batch circa 2010 which dried crystallised, knackering a good portion of my models.

Looking at the ML remover, it seems like it will be great for getting into awkward middle areas etc, though yeah I think hard to hold when using and I have regular hands unlike you
I just use a knife moved backwards over them normally, so will continue with that and have this for intricate details etc.
Definitely a good idea for a travel kit.

Happy with more clippers and glue.


On issue 3; yes it has close combat.
Issue 4 I cant quite see what it says from the picture..

Perhaps mine will be at home when I finish in the office today....

I'm sure this has been answered but I can't find it in this thread...
I have an account and have linked my subscription and can view my subscription but I can't see anywhere to put in payment information... Am I being dumb?

The mould line remover looks like it's intended to fit into a handle. Anyone know where you might pick one of those up?

Let me go into mine to check. I set up mine and account etc, then added subscription to it after

Try accessing the site from a laptop/ desktop.


The option for inputting payment details didn't seem available when I tried it from either my phone or tablet but was there on my PC.

Click on subscriptions, then your current ones are on right.
Click view details on it, then at the top will be a bar with payement details

To note, I’m on my iPad doing that, so seemed ok for me. Not tried on phone though

Just got my 1st delivery too

Really impressed with the DG minis and looking forward to the rest of the range, a bit disappointed that the mold line remover is a unbranded Citadel one, unlike the one shown and the clippers handles are slightly shorter than the older GW clippers with silver tipped handles that i use at mo but should be ok once im used to the new ones.

I didn't seem to get a mould line tool, just a pair of clippers and some glue.

+1 for got mine today. Great value, very pleased.

The little metal tool included won't be much use as a mold line remover imo. I use one of these , and even then I have to regularly switch blades. So don't worry, you aren't missing much there.

It's quite small and mine nearly fell out as I opened up the plastic envelope. See if it is still in the packaging.

Does anyone know if the "Starter" brush is indicative of GW brush quality these days? I haven't used a GW brush in decades and I'm looking forward to testing this, but the "Starter" brand leads me to believe it's not a great brush (for reference I use W&N Cirrus, for anyone familiar with those, though I doubt there will be as they seem increasingly rare these days).

The starter brush is a less good than 'standard' GW brushes,

and those are a lot less good than Windsor Newton

(if you're looking for a cheaper alternative I'd recommend https://www.rosemaryandco.com/watercolour-brushes/pure-kolinsky-sable/pure-kolinsky-pointed or even cheaper https://www.rosemaryandco.com/watercolour-brushes/red-sable-blend/series-402-pointed-sable-mixture)

Thanks. I've tried R&Co, I found their brushes to be a lot less springy than I like. I use these https://www.revell.de/en/products/colors-accessories/accessories/painta-luxus.html as cheapies. Marten hair, very good (as good as Kolinsky imo). And it seems that Cirrus are still around, so I suppose I'll be continuing with that as my primary brush.

This ^^ my mold line remover fell out onto the floor and at 1st i thought mine was missing until i checked under my chair, its pretty small the bulk of the tool is about 1.5 inches long!

I just use my normal hobby blade for all mould line work, but each blade lasts ages, howcome you have to switch them so often?


Mine did ping out but I saw it as I’d been reading on here that people had dropped theirs.

I dunno I suppose I'm a bit OCD when it comes to cleaning mold. You can tell when a blade loses its edge, same with a razor. I just prefer them to be ultra sharp. They're really cheap so it's not a big deal. I've just built two 40K knights, got through I think three blades (one to cut all the sprues and the other two for the lines). I go over pretty much every edge and join even if there's no immediately visible mold.

I find a blunter blade easier for removing them
It doesn’t just cut in to the detail that way.
Do you face the blade away from the model when you are removing?

I wonder if they’ll cover the ML tool in the magazine thinking on it. It’s not in 1 or 2 is it?

Err, now that I think about it, I suppose my usual pattern is to hold the blade at a 45% angle to the plastic surface, and scrape away from me. But sometimes I "cut" instead of scrape (so the cut position would be roughly the mirror of the scrape position), depending on what I'm removing and what I'm removing it from.

First issue has a poster showing all that is in the collection to come ,marines,scouts+sniper,lots of characters,terminators,jump pack marines,dreadnought,bikes,land speeder and some grav tank,nurgle gets marines,characters lots of pox walkers some spawn,3 nurgle vehicles,rhino all in green,33 paints,4 brushes and a lot of gothic scenery some quite big pieces

The exact list, with pricing too, is on page 18, or else 17 I forget which now.
For cost effectiveness and such.

Working tonight, I do nights, so I’m gonna try that ML tool in my free time on break, see how it goes.

Yeah mines the same, though I don’t often do the ‘cut’ angle unless it’s a tricky piece etc.
Not sure where this method came from, no one ever taught me, and I don’t remember seeing it.
Just always done it that way

You mean there's an exact list of what's coming in what issue, or just a list of everything they're going to include over the course of the whole thing?

If the former, it'd be much appreciated if someone would post that up here.

No the exact list in reply to Phil saying roughly what there is to come in the series.

Nothing for the contents from issue 6 onwards I’m afraid

I would expect a Nurgle character in issue 6 to balance the marine character.

Got my subscription today pleasantly surprised.

One of the true joys of subscribing will be when you get your chunk of four issues and the contents of three of them are a genuine surprise.

Indeed!
Be interesting to see.

Unfortunately I’m guessing we will go straight into dark vengeance stuff next as that’s a good way to get Nurgle characters.
But I have all that already.
So here’s hoping for one of those Nurgle character blisters maybe

So there will be no starting collection for the DG. Instead they release the 15 pound characters in the magazin? And even a Repulsor? For a part of the original price? Seems odd.


Also can somebody please post the poster with all the contents? Thank you for the effort.

EDIT: Found it.

You can see the same picture on the website. It has been posted in this thread quite a few times already.
