More Votann. Note to self, do not pre-order a shed load more tomorrow.

I painted up my Necromunda Squats - been using them as my crew in a Space Station Zero campaign. I may have accidentally pre-ordered a box of Votann warriors and Hearthguard this morning to keep them company.

Fancied giving Age of Sigmar a look as it’s about the only GW game I haven’t tried out. Found a decently priced copy of Dominion earlier in the week and started putting it together last night.
Those push to fit models are pure sorcery!

I've spent most of that last month putting together 2,500+ points of Necrons. It's mainly what I've received as part of my Imperium magazine subscription, plus a bunch from a very generous swap with oldschoolsoviet 😁 It's certainly the most models I've painted in one go - I've mainly stuck to Killteams. This should keep my busy until the end of the year!

Warriors are real easy to paint, but boring. The characters are a tonne of fun. So my advice would be to alternate between quick progress and fun models. If you're planning on putting colour into the recessed power conduit things, my method was to moisten with water, then mop up, then paint on airbrush medium, then mop that up, then you can tease paint/ink in almost like panel liner.

Yeah - I've got something like 40 warriors, so I'm doing them in groups of 10 and moving on to something else...
I'm a touch daunted by the really big models, but some of them look like they should be a lot of fun 👍

Yeah, the Annihilation Barge I did recently has put me off Necrons for a while. Probably do a character, or a small squad of elites with the bigger stuff. Then you've got something you can get finished at a reasonable rate, when the sense of inertia starts to build.

Uther Van Dross, to lead my Votann (if I ever actually play a game).

Sorry, not a model post, but I had a question about some of the 40k novels, in case anyone reads them. Ive not read any, and I was looking at some guides to reading order and good series to start with etc. One of the series listed was the Horus Heresy. I went to buy the first book and saw that series is 53 books long.
So... my question is, are they all required reading to understand the full story?

If you read back some pages in this thread you will see I was asking the exact same thing. Horus Heresy is the place to start IMO. The first 4 novels at least are really good. I am on book 12 and although quality has varied there has been something to enjoy in every one of them. I plan on reading them all, in order, but you could totally skip something that’s not appealing to you. There are YouTube guides to what ones are worth it/what ones can be skipped etc. It’s 54 now btw ;-)

I bought the first Horus Heresy and will see how it goes. Also grabbed the first book of something called Gaunts Ghosts. I'm not against reading them all, it's just quite a daunting prospect, and couldn't tell if it was intended to be one long narrative or there was the odd side book in there.

The first 3 or 4 Horus Heresy books are pretty good, although the first one is the best one. After that it’s all extremely hit and miss, with miss winning out a lot of the time and it takes forever to go anywhere and I just gave up. The first 3 will at least give you an idea as to whether you’re interested in continuing anyway.
Aside from that the Eisenhorn trilogy is pretty cool and worth a read.

Gaunts Ghosts is the best. Classic war stories, all following the same regiment. Get them in order by trilogy (or whatever) and they are fairly cheap as well.

I got the same advice as you just have by the looks of things too. I personally really rate the first 4 books not just the 3. No 4 Flight of the Eisenstein is just brilliant in my opinion and as strong as any of the first 3. After that I struggled with Fulgrim but it came good in the end. Legion was brilliant and could do with a second read to get the most out it. Mechanicum was excellent too as was the first short story collection Tales Of Heresy. I think by that time you’ll have an idea what’s to your liking. The Amazon page for it is quite useful as it brings them together in order and summarises each. Bear in mind only the first 5 are available in paperback then its kindle or 100 quid each www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08G4HS1W6?binding=paperback&ref=dbs_dp_awt_sb_pc_tpbk

If we count the Siege of Terra series the final number of novels for the Heresy saga will be 62. So far. (And that's not including related novellas and the short story anthologies!)

Well, it's an idea no more. You've heard of a Bauhaus, well, here's my Tauhaus: Two cut down containers, one to serve as human/tau bunks, and another as a Kroot "kitchen". Lots of little details to fix in them. Got some nice bandages to serve as camo netting for the top, and my guerilla mobile home takes shape. And since we've mentioned the Gaunt's books: Had to be done.

It's GWs fault, they never should've released those cool looking 'Into the Dark' Kroot !

If anyone wants the free GOG games from this month’s WD, send me a PM. I have them all already.

As well as a bump for the above, the Rogue Trader RPG from Owlcat goes into alpha on Steam today. Gonna give it a whirl later and see what it’s like.

Is it all or nothing for the GOG games? I wouldn’t mind Mordheim, but I’d feel bad taking the whole bundle if others would appreciate more of the titles.

It’s just one code. I’ll PM it to you, no big deal.

Rogue Trader Alpha is fun for all of the ten minutes I played around with it. Absolutely stunning how many people are already going "too many bugs why isn't this finished" and complaining about random gameplay shit as if it's the full final release. You literally had to buy a developer pack to get access and it's been labelled Alpha constantly with a fuckload of warnings when you boot it up. It's weird how entitled some people are.

Oh, an RPG by Owlcat ? Yeah, it'll be dodgy even when final, speaking from experience after a Pathfinder:Kingmaker playthrough. Something to keep an eye on though.

I feel this has probably been asked before, but does anyone have any decent, relatively inexpensive, airbrush recommendations?

We're filthy brush casuals around here ! Gedouttaher with your fancy technological advances that'd allow us crazy amounts of progress in short time. No, can't say I've ever used, or had the notion to use one, probably because I don't have the setup for it. Pretty much seems to be Gocheer with 30min until overheat compressors on the cheap and cheerful side, and I suppose you could even get a different decent compressor for less money than the prices for Badger/Iwata/Master stuff. There was a decent set a while ago doing the rounds, but a few YT guys started praising it and they were gone everywhere by the end of the week. Just can't remember the name as it was some unknown Chinese outfit, but decent kit. Ed: yes, I've finally caved
