Anyone still playing Warhammer 40K these days? (tabletop game)

GenCon Week!

Also, Mantic has their Descent clone on Kickstarter. Not sure about this one, but I backed it anyways. I actually own some of the original Dwarf King's Hold. Much faster than Descent, and Mantic makes some good mini's.

I'm not signed up for much. Some X-Wing miniatures free for all. and I'm getting dragged to TD again.

I almost submitted a model for painting competition this year, but I am too harsh on my own models. >.<

Looking forward to GenCon for sure.

I've not got any events planed. Just going to hang out and meet up with some friends and such. Also, a few releases I hope to pick up.

While, I always have a good time going, I kind of feel like the last few years have been getting progressively worse. I don't know if it is due to economic reasons or just the increase in attendance to the convention or what. I also think the whole V.I.G. tickets are part of the problem. Those sell out so quick and far too many of them are just going to people so they can get into the dealers room before the public and buy exclusives to resale on line. I was surprised last few years at how many items had sold out before the dealer room doors opened to the public.

One of the worst last year was one of the other vendors who happen to be a place around where I'm at, having bought the tickets just to buy up as many exclusives as they could and had them for sale at 3 and 4x the price at their booth later that day. They have a whole bunch of people there to work their booth too on the first morning, who then break away right when the doors open and run to buy stuff their vig guys were not able to get in line for. So the booth has like 1-2 people in it for the first hour or two and then like 6 or seven after that. One of guys I game with sometimes works for them and has for a few years and that's been part of his job at con every year.

Please play the Warhammer 40k LCG and let me know how it is.

Bump from beyond

Current incarnation of Vlad von Carstein, bad pic sorry.

*asdf*

I'll have to fix the highlights on the pelt, they are quite crude atm.

Games Workshop just announced Total War: Warhammer.

Definitely has my interest piqued. Wish it was Total War: Warhammer 40K though.

As always late your stuff is looking great.

 

[NeoSneth]

rawr. tabletop quality.
Bought a set of Cygnar for Warmachine, painted, then sold em.

Bump. A Citadel Vampire circa 1986:

Only GW stuff that I would/am playing is Blood Bowl and Necromunda. Other than that, I'm now playing Infinity, which is a very nice game actually.

pics or it didn't happen!



I haven't been playing many wargames lately, but I still paint 'em. Here's a few Hordes Minions. I've been playing with my own palettes lately rather than painting everything the same. Yellows are tough.

 

[SudoShinji]

Damn those look amazing, I'll have to post my space muhreens. I just got a huge amount of chaos base coated but haven't found the energy to start on them yet.

Did you repose Ol' Rowdy? Maybe it is just the angle of the picture but looks like is a lot less static than normal to me. Also, its good to see some Cygnar, great job on those. My faction of choice there.

 

[BodyHammeR]

Played Fantasy and 40k ages ago... All that remains are old codex's for Nids and Orks... Been following the current situation via the internet for a couple of years now, but I am not likely to get back into it, due to restraints from real life.

Did any of you catch episode 100 of Way of the Brush today?

 

[NeoSneth]

yeah , Ol rowdy needed a lot of counter balance to sit like that. i melted a few fish weights to the underside of the base.
i really liked playing Cygnar, but i'm still more about Trolls and Gators.

 

[NeoSneth]

Sometimes it's the simple things that are the most satisfying. I tend to paint simple things like this when i hit a painting wall, and I need to just get some momentum going again.
They look great in scale.

 

[Late]

I need to start some scenery project as well, been thinking of a Elizabethan-style farm house or cottage for Warhammer and general fantasy use.

 

[F4U57]

Those totems look great, Sneth!

If my kids ever get to an age where they don't need to be monitored I might have a chance to paint some of my WHQ models

 

[Late]

Haven't painted a 40k mini in ages, a colour test for my Plague Marines.

 

[NeoSneth]

Very good. I thought that was a weird color choice until i saw "Plague marine". I can see some detail that would probably look better if you didn't use a potato camera.

I picked up a cheap airbrush this year, and I just started to get the hang of it. I always thought it was easy-mode. It's much much harder than it looks, but now i can paint hordes of orcs in a single evening.

It's always great to see painted minis. Aside from being motivational, I get to live vicariously through the works of another.

Someday, I'll get around to painting up my Inquisitor stuff.

Here's my contribution then
I'm actually moving as well, so this is one of the last pictures i'll be able to make for awhile.
All my paints and mini's have been packed away already. Still looking for a new place tho, so ETA is unknown.

 

[FAT$TACKS]

Holy shit, that's amazing!

And huge looking.

Also, good luck on the house hunting. I know what a pain that can be.

I've been looking at your photo for a while. Plague Marines were always the ones I wanted to build an army for. I almost always see them done up in the same kind of sick green color, it's cool to see a different take on them.

the base is the exact size of a CD.

 

[F4U57]

Nice work fellas. One day I'll get there, one day...

 

[mjmjr25]

Amazing, Sneth. Very inspiring. We recently did our Shadow over Camelot figs, but nowhere nears the quality of your work. Awesome stuff.

Bump, great painting:
