Okay just starting painting again after many years of absense long before the dry paint and the glazes and things of that nature. I am a little lost due to the new types of paint. Any advice?

A quick guide to the new paints:

Base = Foundation
Shade = Wash
Layer = Standard
Dry = Drybrush paint
Glaze = Highlight
Edge = Extreme highlighting
Texture = Basing material (AVOID)
Technical = Primers in a pot and liquid green stuff

very interesting... i was pretty good using the old stuff... i guess i better order a box of something to practice..

Here's a link to GW's paint conversion chart, so you can tell which paints are roughly equivalent in the new set. Not all are a perfect match, but come pretty close at least.

Just brought my Mordheim Table to my apartmet, so finally I can play at home upstairs in my hobby room instead of going to a gaming club where it's barely used.

While I had it set up I brought out some random minis from different Warbands and had some photos.


Otto, Youngblood of "Ludvig Adelbrecht's Giant Slayers"


Franz, Champion of "Ludvig Adelbrecht's Giant Slayers"


"Oh shi-"


"Letz get all sneaky like..."


"Oi ladz! FIRE!"


"Beastmen enters the city!"


"There are rumors of a cult that seeks out to defile all the ruined temples of Sigmar... They MUST be stopped!"  

[Vikki Stardust]

Eeeeeh, I missed you and your stuff lots! surprised  

[DarkElf27]

Lovely set, where'd you get the buildings?

Vikki: I'm sorry I've been laying low on the miniature front lately, but with the summer around I'll start plenty of new projects!

DE: It's a commission work, got it last summer by a couple of guys from here.
Got more pictures here~

Nice! Very flexible playing field. Any hints as to the upcoming projects?  

[Shinobi_8745]

Various Mordheim warbands will get painted.

Might start a Khorne Chaos Space Marine force, the Sanctified.

I'm also looking into finally starting my new Dark Eldar main force with Eldar allies, with a theme~
...
Eldar Royalty!

I'm going to field Duke Sliscus, Baron Sathonyx and Prince Yriel, fielding the force as Duke Sliscus Sky Serpents, and building my warriors from Dark Elf corsairs with Dark Eldar arms and heads.

Wouldn't it be better served by also having a white stripe or pattern running across the top of the turret? The white stripes were mainly applied so that allied fighters would not strafe Russian vehicles by accident, so just having a stripe on the side is asking for a Tommie or Yank to put a few rockets into its roof. wink

Example 1 -

Example 2 -  

[Marcus McFlufferson]

Oh that's interesting. Will stick some top stripes on next time I have it (it's down at the shop now).
