And I forgot to mention Helldorado :)<br /><br />I never picked up 5ed, but the Chaos figs in the new 6ed are a must-have for me, for nothing else than to paint them. It's a disease.<br /><br />I keep a 50/50 mix of Future/H20 to thin paints and a smaller tin of the same to wet my brush when I'm really cooking on trying to blend or in the event straight paint from the palette needs just a nudge of thinning. Glad you found it useful!<br /><br />We still have all our AT43 stuff, too. Use them as proxies for stuff like MERCS (which I'm still working on comission for folks' figs) and playtesting Warzone rules, as the figs won't be in our hot little hands until June.<br /><br />We picked up KoW and really like it a bunch. Very simple to learn, but a good depth of tactical options and a ruleset/company that actually encourages uses whatever figs you like on the table, even for "tourney" play (not that that is any big deal for us, of course). Still, refreshing. And easy to proxy figs to actual units in the game, too: so I am working on "recreating" my Drune army with KoW stats and am eyeing all sorts of figs to represent on the table.<br /><br />And I missed the Kickstarter for Dark Lands, but the figs are wildy beautiful, with Drunes too boot!<br /><br />Of course...Confrontation is being re-released by another company. Confrontation Phoenix. The website is still "coming soon" and last year at GenCon they were selling some recasts in resin of figs. Too salty, but I'm hoping if/when the reboot happens, the prices come down.<br /><br />I read an interview from Parente (I think) who said the AT43 molds were all scrapped when Rackham fell, so there isn't much hope that game will be revived. But we can still play it (as wall as Conf2.0 or C:AOR).<br /><br />COME GAME WITH US!!!!!

I've heard the new 40K is decent, but I haven't picked up the rules (skippped 5e as well). <br /><br />I'm spraycoating with black- trying the Krylon Primer- and then filling in with thinned blacked paint. <br /><br />Last night I tried using the FFW/Water mix as my thinner/extender. Quite pleased with the results- thanks for the suggestion.

Shannon (I know you didn't ask me) I think you'd find it quick and easy to base coat your Nids in white and use thin washes of paint to get very quick and beautiful results, especially with some simple highlighting/inking/drybrushing.

I mix EVERYTHING with a 50/50 mix of water and Future floor polish to help thin and flow the paint. So a wet palette helps me in that regard. I'll give you one and if you don't like it, you can throw it out or give it back :)<br /><br />I still "underbase" with fender washers because of how I store all my figs these days: in Xmas light stackables on ductwork endcaps on magnets. Since we travel to three different locations to play, splitting the homes we invade, I need a way to carry the monstrous amounts of lead/plastic figs and I HATE foam trays. So, I still washer everything and I have some custom crafted magnetic posts to hold figures on, which allows me to hold them in any position to get to details, even upside down, if I need to.<br /><br />I have an airbrush but I never use it, becuase I'm afeared of the wreckage I'll create from the learning curve! But I reeally would love to figure out how to work with it, especially for my Dropzone Commander and MERCS figs.<br /><br />Are you spraycoating your base coat or priming black, then basecoating?<br /><br />Whenever you're ready - we regularly game Dropzone Commander and MERCS (which can easily be proxied), and can field Warmachine, Hordes, Lord of the Rings, Ge Koku Jo, Malifaux, and even 40K (eyeing the new starter set for 6ed, in fact), as well as, (soonly but can proxy) Warzone Resurrection (gonna get a bunch on Kickstater).Kenn Kongnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4764158821384594980.post-75076272965422285322013-04-02T10:32:47.820-04:002013-04-02T10:32:47.820-04:00I have a decent-sized Tyranid force I haven't ...I have a decent-sized Tyranid force I haven't played with in some years. I like them because you can do anything with them. I need to pull them out and take some shots so I can compare how I did them then to what I'm doing now. I remember using bright colors, but I'm not sure of the scheme.

I've actually been really happy with the QuakeHold stuff I've been using in combination with a set of spice jars I'd bought a while back. They have just the right weight and feel for painting. I've read about wet palettes but I haven't used one- are they pretty helpful? We've been using glass and I'm probably going to pick up a couple of bathroom tiles to supplement- they have a better surface than the white plastic we used to use. <br /><br />Most of the surviving figs have a black base coat with the white drybrush. That originally was a cheat to make painting easier and to make them show detail on the table. But I found I've actually shifted back to working up from black. I'm painting up much more from the color right now- laying down a full base coat of whatever set I'm working from. You've always had a strong gift with inks and washes. I know that the Buypainted guy who does the airbrush guides on Youtube works up from white or grey- and it is pretty amazing what he gets out of it. <br /><br />We're definitely going to be painting more. Once I get some more things out of the way, I think I want to pick up from the of Skorne faction from Hordes. I like the way those look. I may strip the painting from some of the Warmachine figs I have that got smoke damaged (or ended up with melted bases) and try painting some of those.

Don't you feel freer coming ...Looking awesome!<br /><br />Don't you feel freer coming back to it after a while away? I know I always feel much better at painting and more adept at new technique, when I've been away from the palette for a while.<br /><br />I'll get you a mag holder and a wet palette if you want them - I have extras. You'd be suprised how much control you can get with a mag holder and fender washers on the base of the figs.<br /><br />Did you black prime or white prime? I know you used to be a fan of the black prime with a white/gray dry brush (as did I) but I exclusively prime in white now - so much easier to wash for base coating over white prime, which helps blending efforts:)<br /><br />You're right about the Malifaux line - terrible pain in the ass to assemble. Hate them. Hate to assemble most metal figs anymore, much more prefer plastics. Easier to assemble, easier to convert.<br /><br />We'll have to get together and put the figs to work!Kenn Kongnoreply@blogger.com
