Oh man, this has been educational. I knew the "Rogue Trader" era had some mental stuff, but I didn't realise they did limited edition stuff like: Jeez. Those bring back memories. I had almost all of the Marines and Eldar ones there. The Space Elves. The Vincent Blackshadow bikes. The Eldar War Walker, etc.. I remember them being a lot more detailed, so I guess the tech has improved. Maybe paint covered up for some of the lack of detail. [edit] I did not have the Death Ferret. I think I had the Gyrinx, although I'm not sure I ever did anything with it.

I mean, I guess I technically still have them somewhere. There is a box at my parents house that's full of badly painted metal miniatures.

Anyhoo, I finally got round to getting them back 3 years ago (by which I mean, they needed the space for other stuff so I had to collect them) and it resparked my interest in the hobby. I've got loads of the original Rogue Trader metal Orks, Eldar, Squats, Imperial Guard and Space Marines from the late 80's, along with a bunch of WFB stuff too.
Unfortunately it also resparked my interest in collecting tonnes of stuff, and now I'm running out of room to put it all.

Once I eventually get something bigger than a 1 bed flat I think I'm going to get back all the minis I have at my Dad's. 2nd Ed Eldar army, some of the models are still being made. T'au. High Elves. Mmmm. I'm going to get an office with a big glass cabinet for storing it all.

Finally finished my Death Korps of Krieg from the Octarius KillTeam set I'm also slowly working my way through the scenery (some in the background), but it's the Ork Kommandos I'm working on next

A painting guide from a guy who was on the 'Eavy Metal team for 9 years.
He's got some other guide videos up for Imperial Fists, Black Templars, Grey Knights, Death Guard and an Ork.

They do all the highlights by hand? I was never patient enough to do something like that. I just drybrushed the whole thing.
This explains a lot...

I've been experimenting with basing: I am slightly annoyed that the transfers are a bit wider than the loincloths.

Been a while since I checked in here, and I'm a little bit excited for new nid dex based off of the leaked one that's out there in the world. There is a lot of potential for it to be a very strong codex, and makes Crusher look a little muted in comparison.
Also working on a GK army as well. Thought I'd be bigbrain and magnetise all of the strike squads. Turned out I was just smooth brained, so no wysiwig for me.

Love it. I know there’s a story reason why it couldn’t be, but I would love beaky marines as the new proportion marines. They always looked just a little squat abs hunched to me

I mean yay Beakies, but for some reason a game that's just hot Space Marine on Space Marine action leaves me cold.

The new Norse team looks good. I can only hope we get some updated Amazons and other older teams without an official set. Though now they've jacked up the prices going third party seems a lot more viable.
I just spent an evening finishing up an Undead team. Next up are the Dwarves, who will get the LA Rams treatment of yellow and blue, I think.

Some leaks from the Chaos Codex are in the rumourmill. Apparently Berserkers are missing which is a very strong hint that World Eaters will be getting their own release and... I

Oh wow, I thought any double bluff would have been a kill team at best.
World Eaters first please, GW
