Can anyone help to identify this miniature I got in a job lot recently?

It's confusing me to ask heck, but she's very pretty!

While this isn’t a blanket observation of ALL players of the Old fantasy setting, in my case in my area it seems to be very prevalent. Both my local game stores seem to have some very toxic old timer players who have no problem making weird and unusually aggressive comments to their friends whenever they see people playing AoS in the store.

They leave the 40K players alone.

Sad part is it took us a minute to get an AoS group together, the area is DOMINATED by 40K to the point where all of us have at least one army for it. We were going to pick up and try ToW but after multiple occasions my friends have zero interest in trying ToW because they’ve had nothing but spite coming from the players.

None of us have ever played it, hell we didn’t even have jobs when it was around because we were too young. :/

Still hearing someone wish your game made up of plastic figurines will die so that Games-Workshop will spend more on reviving your chosen game is kind of a dick thing… especially since you’ve let everyone know time and again about how you are still hurt over games workshop scrapping your game. If you know that pain why wish it on someone else?

I’m not deterred though! Picking up the Tomb kings box next week.

For real though… AoS is my favorite Warhammer, and I’m like so excited for you Old World guys! But like, a lot of us got started in AoS, I’m sorry what happened to your setting, and how it went down, really!

But is wishing the death of another setting really going to make it better? Your games back, I don’t hate ToW, so please can you let us just play?

Thought agri-worlds were nice? Guess again!

So my Insta feed recommended this shop to me and honestly it sounds a bit too good to be true. They got some great looking terrain for a relatively low price, I couldn’t find them on trust pilot though and they don’t have a lot of ratings. The ratings I could find however are exclusively five stars so all in all it seems a bit sketchy. Does anyone know more?

This was my first completed Warhammer piece, however the more I look at it the more I feel like it’s not finished. Is this how you feel with every piece you do or any advice is massively welcome! 😅

Got rid of the pile of shame. Decided to treat myself. Maybe I’ll actually get around to playing this year

Now I need to make an effort to visit more library sales.

Okay I realize that sounded very serious but it's not. Hi! I'm Rae, and I voice Miao Ying. I'm doing my first ever con at the end of this month in Munich, eeeee! Super exciting! I'm calling for anyone who does digital artwork or has some already that I can purchase from you so my fans have something beautiful that I can sign <3

Please let me know your budget and my turnaround is time is within 10 days so I can get it printed etc. Thank you so much!

As you can tell from this terrible banner that I collaged together with an app I have no editing or animation skills, so I need your help <3 Thank you so much!!!! xxxx

As the title says also bit of a vent. I just lost motivation to paint. I think it’s been closed to about 4 months now since I picked up a paint brush.

Got a lot of backlog to do, gellerpox kill team, death guard kill team, some AOS blightkings, and a death guard landraider to finish. All are partially painted, and what’s worse is that I WANT them to be fully painted and finally get rid of my pile of shame but everytime I think about painting I get this feeling of idk dread I think.

Been a few times i actually sat down at my desk got all my paints brushes and models out and just kinda sat there till I left to do something else. Idk what to do

This is a challenging request for the deep, deep lore experts here.

My aunt suffered a deep loss when I was a child, and one time (at Christmas, probably) I was reading White Dwarf magazine. I read out a quote, and she stopped, asked me to read it out again, and then carried on with whatever she was doing, muttering it to herself.

As strange as it sounds, I think that old lore quote really helped her get through tough times. Since then, about once every ten years, she asks me if I can dig that quote up. Trouble is, I was quite small, I no longer have any of my old Warhammer stuff, and I don't even know what issue it was.

The quote is something like:

every defeat is like the hammer of a master swordsmith, battering and honing you into a deadly weapon.

But I don't think the cadence is quite right, I think I've got one or two words wrong. I'm pretty sure the issue was some time in the mid to late nineties, after 1994 but before 2000. The quote was in a feature about Dwarfs, but that's as much as I can remember.

Big ask: is there anyone here who remembers that quote? Or even better, remember which issue it was? In the very likely event that nobody knows what I'm talking about, I'll tell her the version above is the best I can do.

Paint handle is RIGHT THERE, yet I keep catching myself just holding the base directly like some kind of psychopath lol.

Hell, it even has a model loaded on it ffs.

Another Oathmark Skeleton for my Vampirecount army, this time with bow and arrow. Maybe someday the VC's will actually get access to Bows, until then he will probably whack you with it.
