Been a good 15 years since I've painted one of these, I still suck at it! :laugh:
Nick

Cool
looks pretty good does it not, how much better does a well painted one look?!
-
You should of seen my LOTR ones. Big names I painted, but the standard soldiers....It was more like dipping them in the paint pot :laugh:
Looks good though, I never had a steady hand for them.

space marines! lol I was never into these but had a few mates who were, they used to spend hours painting them. I was happy on my megadrive :P
-
Rock on nick looks good mate I used to love painting them I was prity good at punting them myself have no pics though didn't have digital cameras in the early 90s lol
-
Cheers, I used to do it back in the early 90's as well. I seem to be able to paint them much better now than I used to. Think I must have more patience than I did back then.
Just finished my 2nd one, a bit better than the 1st.

are you the type that used to spend his day in the warhammer shop with the big role playing game in the middle on weekends? i knew a few who did that! :grin:
-
Never used to play in the shop, had a 6' x 4' board at home and used to play my bro and some of my mates on that. It was converted from when it was for my train set when I was a little kid.
nick
-
I never understood how the game worked lol, I didnt have the patience for it. I remember helping one of my mates make a massive board it was awesome. had little buildings and trees and stuff on it lol it was a master piece! (to a 10-12 year olds standards)
-
So.....er......yeah. I finished the 3 marines I bought early sunday afternoon and ended up going back to Hobbycraft and purchasing something else to paint. Ooops!

Have you got the new film.....................
-
Nick, you're taking ubergeekness to a new level with this? :huh:
Yes, yes I am. I blame it entirely on working in Tech Support again.
Have you got the new film.....................
Yup got the Limited Edition DVD through the post last week, that's what inspired me to buy and paint these.
nick
-
Ultramarines vs the Black Legion with some help from the Imperial fists.....
The film Rocks by the way, got my copy last week been waiting since october :grin:
-
Yeah I really liked it, even Mrs Horney enjoyed it.
"Burn Heretics!"
Nick
-
lol you were fast on the keys, got me all geeky too.
Do you play DOW as well? Ive smashed that game to bits so much better than space hulk on the Playstation :grin:
-
Love that scene with the bolter round casing, and the battle where the Captain "comes Back" chain sword galore :grin:
-
lol you were fast on the keys, got me all geeky too.

I loved Space Hulk on the PC, still got the board game.
Not played DoW (PC only isn't it?) but I'm well looking forward to this on Xbox in March. Already pre-ordered my copy.

nick
-
Indeed I have my copy reserved too :lipsrsealed:
As for the board game, my mate has the full set with expansions...... just dont have a whole weekend to play it.
On the playstation Space hulk either worked or crashed, Brother Mattias my bolter has Jammed lol

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SFkFo5SBx-g
these intro's are sick, I want to be a dreadnought :cool:
-
haha good skillz there nick! reminds me of my days when i had warhammer, had pretty much same figures as you! Hence why my old email address and gamertag is terminator40k :lipsrsealed: :grin:
-
Those intro's are awesome!
Nick
-
I used to love the imperial guard mega meat shield army ftw :grin:
-
seen these on fb as well look spot on mate, i was never that good at painting them but used to love all the different marines you could get space wolfs and the dark angels, blood angels, the ultra marines you got there!
never really understood the game itself but more the painting side used to love going into the gamesworkshop and just seeign all the awesome detail in the painted models in the cabinets!

DoW is epic, if you like warhammer and RTS then you'll love it, can't see it working on the xbox though as you really need a mouse and keyboard for an RTS.
Some pretty awesome miniatures, I've got a dark angle army in the loft somewhere, I can raise the geek level even more as I was in an issue of white dwarf :nerd: :cool: :lipsrsealed:
-
I haven't got a PC otherwise I'd be all over DoW.
You were in WD? Yeah that takes it to a whole new level!
That said I kinda might of agreed to go to a local games night in the new year to acually have a table top battle. I think the rules have changed a bit since the 1st Edition ones I used to play! My mat einvited me after seeing the pics on facebook, he's a hrdcore geek and has Golden Demon award to his name for best army. :grin:
nick
-

Me too... :cool:
-
Slick! I thought you would have been too cool for this. They're all coming out of the woodwork now!
nick
-
I was a warhammer fan, blates. Orcs were a good crack to paint.
Me and a group of mates used to go around a friends house a couple of times a week and play necromunda mostly.
I had armies of Lizardmen, and Van Saar characters. They were IMMENSE!
-
For me back in the day Warhammer = Empire and Warhammer 40K = Orks. Was always more Warhammer than 40K for table top but used to play large amounts of Space Hulk and Blood Bowl.
I gave it all up when I went to college as beer and women became my main hobby besides cars. My folks loft is soo getting raided over Christmas as I think I have quite a lot of stuff I can flog on eBay to fund a new Ultramarines army.
Nick
-
This is taking me back Nick.
I'll dig out my figures, I used to spend hours on them :nerd:
-
I got a load of this sh!t from back in the day, wanna flog it all really but my painting is shyt! so doubt anyone would want it for decent money!
-
I like the first marine, looks kinda weathered
-
Well I kinda went out on boxing day and bought the box set with more miniatures and the latest rules etc. Just been to my folks and picked up a box of my old scenery and all set for my first table top battle in about 16 years tomorrow. Taking on the wife!
Nick
-
Didn't know whether to throw this into the motivational posters or here..

:grin:

I used to have a Necron army and was going to start into an Eldar one but stopped playing to fund other geeky hobbies :lipsrsealed: I still have the Necron Monolith but it's just sprayed black atm :undecided:

I'm actually quite speechless right now... what the feck is a battle mat!?
-
It's a matt, on which you move the little metal figures around in a simulated battle.
A mate of mine paints these silly little figures as a side-line. Makes several thousand a year from doing it. Beautifully illustrates the maxim about fools being easily parted from things...

I kind of guessed that but my adult mind refused to believe it. :lipsrsealed: :grin:
-

I feel I should point out that I only know this as I had a lodger who was very into his little metal figures.
Creatures, probably of troll descent used to come and inhabit my living room for an evening once every few weeks and move their little metal figures around on such a matt.

Yeah yeah oh one that is far too wise on the subject..... :grin:

Awesome stuff! Got to love a Necron Monolith and Warriors armed with Gauss flayers...
This time round I am more into the novels, Dan Abnett and Aaron Dempski Bowden to name a couple of the good authors.
Just finished Deliverance lost and Know No Fear, great books which build a picture of the what and whys of the imperium :cool:
-
I'm currently reading a Dan Abnett omnibus. :cool:
-
Did you paint the battlements or were they ready done in kit form?
Nice work on the red thing btw.
:wink:
-
Battlements came pre painted - the red thing was painted by MrsH.
