<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Getting a late start..."]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/65.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Getting a late start... GW website. The more I looked at the figures, the more I wanted to paint some. The next thing I knew, I had piles of kits - waiting to be painted. The addiction had begun.

I say late start, because I am in my fifties and had never even heard of Warhammer before walking into the store last month.

I may never actually play the game, but will definitely be painting lots of figures. I started with the Skaven from IOB, and I am almost finished painting them. Will upload some pics when they are complete.

Have been checking out DakkaDakka galleries for inspiration, so figured I would join.

The hobby is definitely a huge part of warhammer, and the best part for many people. Playing the game just adds more depth to the hobby, even if you're aren't playing in a competitive setting. I myself like a nice balance.

Looking forward to seeing your ratmen. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/621862/7330643.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/621862/7330643.page GMT Getting a late start... http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/621862/7331079.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/621862/7331079.page GMT Getting a late start... http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/621862/7331568.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/621862/7331568.page GMT Getting a late start... http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/621862/7332045.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/621862/7332045.page GMT Getting a late start... ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/621862/7332115.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/621862/7332115.page GMT Re:Getting a late start...

They look really nice. Excellent job on the flames.


Thanks. They looked a lot better with the naked eye than when you photograph them and blow up the picture.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/621862/7336395.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/621862/7336395.page GMT Getting a late start...

A gaming store recently opened near me in Baltimore, so I stopped in to check it out. After seeing the Warhammer kits and figures, I decided to check out the GW website.

I painted for a LONG time before I found folks to play with. I feel it's always a work in progress, as with any hobby. Good luck with your painting!

You can always stop into the gaming store and check with the staff to see if there have been any others that have just started as well. They may be able to help you start gaming nights and find other players in your area. For me, painting has its own rewards but it's a completely different experience when you pair it with playing the game!

Just took a look at your painting. Looking very nice! You could try hitting the warpstones with a gloss clearcoat if you wanted them to stand out a bit more. You could do a semi-gloss on the hair too, if you wanted, to give some of the rats a glossy/oily look.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/621862/7539215.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/621862/7539215.page GMT Getting a late start...
