Random bit of trivia; something that works really nice for bases is medical gauze. You cut it to the size of the base, coat it with glue, then paint it black. After that, drybrush it, first with a dark metallic colour, then with a light metallic colour; it looks like deckplate. You can even paint some flesh wash on it after all that (just a little) to look like rust. I used to prefer to do my Tau on this back-in-the-day because it was quicker than grass and it looked cool.

In honesty, I was never that big a fan of it; we lived near a GW and a friend and I used to play a bit while I was a student. In truth I always preferred the skirmish games like Necromunda to the big battle games. I never played D&D as a kid, but when coming to it as an adult, I realised that was why I loved Necromunda; grand strategy isn't really my thing.

I was heading off to Japan so I needed to be rid of it in a hurry.

Have you seen the new skirmish kill team and necromunda games? They have modular terrain with stair cases and all kinds.

That looks great [MENTION=5011]vanpeebles[/MENTION], really nice. I have no scenery stuff but maybe later. I just got a delivery of some stormcast eternals women heads so that I can use them on my space marines to make a mixed squad. I know some are fixed on the idea that the Adeptus Astartes are a gay dream heaven but I feel it’s important in the name of diversity to add heterosexual and lesbian sex in there too.
That’s how this game works, right?

I'm looking at getting back into the hobby after Christmas. I'm currently collecting Descent Second Edition, and I eventually want to paint all the minis. I'm not going to start by potentially ruining my set, so I'm going to start relearning with a Kill Team squad.
It should only take me two to three minis to catch up to speed. I might even start with an air brush if I'm still this passionate about it come Christmas. I've been watching nothing on YT other than painting.
I'm still not feeling anything for gaming other than deep retro. Although I have been playing Fire Emblem Fates to satisfy my board gaming itch. Tremendous game.

The Macragge set was great really, well priced and the scenery bits are superb.

With regards to the paints I'm probably going to pick up the fantasy set from Coat D'Arms. These are the guys that used to make the Citadel paints back in the 90s, before GW switched supplier. They still use those pots which do a stellar job of preservation over long periods - whereas the GW pots are designed to dry up after two to three years.
I'm slowing picking up art supplies as I see bargains when I'm out.
