Warhammer (with the models and everything)

Celestine next I think

Fair

Perhaps! Stranger things have happened.

But he's right, whoever he is. Or is it whomever I ams. I don't know.

But what I do know, is that the those bloody things on models are bowel-rupturingly offensive

I concur. Unless you're a ronin with a mysterious past, get that shit off your head, Gary

I wore a pony tail when I was 21 because Boots made me to work there

Where do we stand on those

I think a top knot is just a manbun that's way out of hand

It did repel potential mates as well

To be fair ladies did used to ask for my conditioning tips.

The secret was simply never to air dry it

Gah. So I've just preordered the Dwarf Battalion box. That's another box to add to the pile of unbuilt Old World sprues. Still, I've not ever had plastic GW Dwarfs before so there's that I guess.

Recommendations for stripping primer off a plastic scenery piece?!

I committed the rookie error of forgetting to shake a new can for ages first, so have a grainy finish on one piece that obscures ask the detail.

I've used acetone free nail polish before to great effect on metal minis but I'm worried it would melt the plastic

Yeah iso alcohol, as high a percentage as you can get. This one is as high as you can go without using it for tractor maintenance I think and is what I got.

Handle it carefully with ventilation and preferably gloves - if anybody in your home dyes their hair those types of glove will work, as will garden or surgical type gloves. Don’t let kids or pets near it.

You don’t want it absorbing through your skin at this concentration as it can cause poisoning apparently.

You can use Dettol or 70% alcohol too which might be safer but will not strip quite as effectively. I’ve read that Dettol does leave minis smelling of Dettol too!

Put in a sealed Tupperware and let it soak overnight and then find a spare toothbrush and it will slough off any remaining paint with a gentle scrub.

Can confirm the dettol comment, I picked up a couple of cheap rhinos that had been stripped. 6 months on they still hum faintly of the stuff.

Yeah it’s probably mostly Ok. I just personally believe in reducing risk by eliminating it where possible and have read that it can be absorbed. It’s mostly at the scrubbing stage that might be an issue as you have to hold the soaked model.

Got a rare week off. Planning to get done:

3x Inceptors
A chaplain
A Redemptor dread

And if possible 5 Infernus.

I think in the last case it’s probably not very realistic. However if I get the first three on the list done I think I’ll then take a couple of weeks to tie up loose ends which would be the Infernus, 3 Von Ryan’s and a Mawloc. The last two will finish my Tyranid collection…although I have been looking longingly at whatever that giant one with impractical tentacles is called…

Also managed to get the Lieutenant from Leviathan done - just needs the transfers/basing etc doing.

I’ve officially got a proper pile of shame after this I think.

3 marine combat patrols
2 marine tanks
A captain
2 boxed squads
Outriders
A Sisters Battleforce
2 sister combat patrols
An Ork combat patrol

And a Spitfire daughter got me for Xmas. I must paint that at some point.

I’m pretty basic. I don’t f*** with Forgeworld!

I’m also not a huge fan of the model tbh.
