I'm Joyce, a new addition to the mart's crew.  smile.gif  I'll be in the mart about 1pm everyday till 8pm or so.

You mean metal-made-figures? Yea some races are entirely metal figures.

Used to play this game back in school days. (Both 40K and Fantasy)

My buddies and I would pool our money to buy the armies. Take turns play difference races.

Or we would just play it AD&D style if we didn't want to set up the table. (When everyone wanted to be space marines and go take on gene-stealers)

Good times indeed.


Most people hate Space Marines in here. biggrin.gif Comics Mart I mean.

Haha yea, Joyce is a unisex name, just that more girls are using it. Female version of Joyce is Jocelyn.

Anyway.

No you can't, you can only play Warhammer 40k or Fantasy with their own set of units, respectively. Mixing up is a big no no.

I think you misunderstood ahtiven's question here, as I got a feeling that he was asking if you're able to take older 40K models from the 90s and mix it with the current releases.

When I was building up my Dark Angels army, that's what I always do, as I've got a habit of hunting all over the different games shops in Melbourne hunting for the older MK2, 3 and 4 armors.

Hmm.. as for the Fantasy models, it depends really on what you're wanting to do. Some of them can be modded for 40K play, just change the base of the model from the square to the round ones used by 40K.

The Orks army is a good candidate where the Warhammer fantasy models can be used for Warhammer 40K play, so switching models between games is still possible, depending on the army that you're building lar.. Mostly you'll just need to change the base. But this will also depend on the house rules of whatever place that you play in, as there's places that enforces on this rather strictly (but pretty rare though)

Ah! Learning something new everyday biggrin.gif

But I think I'll just stick to painting and photographing them only. The gaming part takes... so much energy, and I got short attention span.

Anyway.

Pictures are up! Only the figures part though. Gonna upload the rest after waking up.

I have no idea. I get to take photos of the figures, but they are not mine. xD

I guess it's dry brushed on. One of their favorite painting method.

Hahaha, I play with paper counters. Been playing Tyranids and Tau army proudly, smashing enemies in all fronts.

All I care about is the play, figures can represented by paper cuts.

ah i see ..hmm indeed the white dwarf one really nice =)

yeah NMM need hell practice..i remember doing NMM a year back..screw up 10 models..at least still screw up but still can correct it hehe

one thing about NMM is u have to have the sense of light...if not.. T T.

But results wise NMM looks fairly awesome. =)

well what you can do, which i have been testing recently is take a photo of the model while its under the light (best done with no paint on the model whatsoever). this will allow you to see how light is reflected from real metallics tongue.gif . then when you paint it on just use that photo as reference when you're trying to mimic that reflective property.

personally i find metallic colors to look better as they can provide much more contract, but on photos NMM definitely looks more better and clean.
