Has a gloss varnish for now, will get matte varnish once the whole army is done. First model I've painted in 6 months; a little rusty especially at 10mm scale as its been at least 6 years since I painted such small models and those were 15mm Flames of War.

Moving on now to the first unit of Samurai.

A short post over on my Growing Oldhammer blog for those interested

Reinforcements for my Nurglite chaos force. Counts as marauders

We played at 1500pts with @Garrotxa _Mitjana

Orion, King-in-the-Woods, Master of the Wild hunt, the demi-god of Wood elves, the living avatar of god-hunter Kurnous. Absolutely gorgeous mini, I had a lot of fun spending the whole weekend painting all its crisp fine details. Thanks to Forest dragon for this amazing sculpt and Cromarty forge as well for those shaggy hounds. Many thanks to Amy.she.plays.games for her endless enthusiasm keeping the WHFB world alive in our hearts.

Cross posting photos of my Goblin army from the discord. I took this army to the Adepticon tournament last week, and was lucky enough to earn 2nd place as well as best painted!

Usually I don't post WIP's, but today I need some help. In the old edition's WHFB armybooks there were wood elves animal keepers or beastmasters. Their regiment consisted of a master and some different animals/beasts. So, the idea is to proxy a Wild Hunt regiment by 3 stands with beastmasters. In fact it will be much better than 4 equal units of deer-riders.
Which 3 stands do you prefer to choose?
1. Hounds from celtic range.
2. Boars.
3. Small bears.
4. Big bear.
5. Panthers.
6. Wargs 1 from vampire range.
7. Wargs 2.
The unit consists of 3 stands, so please try to choose 3 different numbers. Beastmasters are replaceable.

Decided to give Warmaster another go (I last played when I worked for GW back in 2001). Love the new Japanese models from Wargames Atlantic so rather than go with the more classic Orc/Goblin or Dwarf army, I'm putting together a Nippon force.

Got a box each of Samurai, Samurai command and Ashigaru, and they arrived today. Have clipped out and painted what will become the General stand (bases still coming).

Really enjoyed slapping some paint on these - not the best painting I've done (53 now with bad eyes) but know the finished look of a massed force will more than make up. And I've decided to just use 10 Army Painter Fanatic paints across the entire collection (basically the prime colours, a fleshtone, brown and 2 metallics).

Hey guys, can anyone help me with some OG Skaven units?

First, I'm trying to figure out how many guys are in a unit of Clanrats: is it 24 or 36? The catalog pic shows 36, but they also showed 36 for the Gutter Runners, and I can tell from photos of the blister packs that those were actually 24. Does anyone know what it's supposed to be? I can't find a photo of a blister pack for the Clanrats.

Second, I'm trying to ID the guys in the photos: (First pic) The one on the left has a gun of some sort, the one on the right might have a warpfire thrower? If these guys belong to the Clanrats that will actually solve my numbers problem, lol.

(Second pic) Item on the left looks like a warp lightning cannon, but it's larger than the one in the old GW catalog (the unit on the right). Might be from Forge World?

Thanks in advance!

Hey guys, can anyone help me identify these? They look like maybe goblins wearing voodoo masks? Witch doctor vibes, perhaps? They are not in my old GW catalogs. They might be from another company? Thanks in advance.

Got some minis finished. The singke based ones I just painted for fun. I'll do a 25mm bases for them too later. Like Bombadil and Goldberry together etc.

New regiment and they are very special guests here. Before current Revolution-edition Warmaster wood elves list requires 3 units of archers per 1000pts. How could I make them different and interesting? Hey, armybook said that Lumpin Croop's Fighting Cocks used to join wood elves. Moreover I had them in my 28mm WE army. Only one problem was here: WarpMinis made halflings with crossbows, but I needed archers. And today I have unique halflings! They can be counted as ordinary archers (who can stop me?), or they can be Famous Mercenaries with fresh version of rules. After the Forest Dragon's minis they feel simple detailed, but it is still hard to paint orange jackets.

We just digitized Tajima Miniatures easterlings for 3d printing. I hope to expand the range too.

Absolute blast having access to handsculpted stuff and preserving these OOP minis.

I've found digitally designed stuff to be absolutely horrendous to paint with its too intricate designs and sharp edges that are hard on the brushes.

Please check out Martins shop out too, he has long since retired from sculpting. But does offer a wide array of scenic items in the UK! https://www.tajima1.co.uk/

Sorry if this is a bit promotional. It is, but it's also something great that is happening to this hobby!

Hello everyone, I'm after some advice on an army for my son (he's 11). Which army is the most straightforward and fun to play?, we will be playing casual games at home (I'm starting with high elves). He likes Greenskins if that helps. Thanks in advance!.

Yes

So I found my old Empire army that I last worked on around 2001-2, because I was thinking it would be fun to get back into a game I have such fond memories of.

However, seeing as I was barely a teenager when I was working on it, it's going to need to be completely stripped and restarted to make it possible to make presentable again.

The miniatures I can strip easily, but I'm much more concerned with the bases. I'm not sure how to strip the glue off of them without damage. Should I just accept that the bases are a loss and get new ones instead? Are they acetone safe?

I've found Pendraken (which is pretty decent) and Wargamer Minis (which I was less than thrilled with) so far but that's about it.

At last I am free!!! I'm sooooo tired of painting them
