Did you give GW any money for the holidays?

[Xenomrph]

I was unemployed all through December, so unfortunately my GW spending resumed after the New Year.

I am giving them more money tomorrow, though!

I got into WH40K back when the first T'au codex was released. Those were the good times.

I never left those good times behind. Even when I ended up with a bunch of Primaris marines, I just did them as true-scale marines for 3rd Edition.

[Local Trouble]

Are you working on any other chapters yet?  Just for color variation, I've always liked to see Ultramarines mixed with Imperial Fists and Blood Angels.

[[cancerblack]]

I'm doing a few Black Templars in the smaller size, that I don't intend to mix with those. The Ultramarines list is plenty big already frankly (and has a handful of exotic allied units), and the box that was the only cheap source of Primaris bodies is OOP, so I don't see any more power armour in my future.

Beautiful. I've always favored the yellow over gold and bolters need to be red.

So, my experience with Hasslefree Miniatures was not hassle free, but I did finally get the models I bought in June, after disputing things with Pay Pal.


With that said, I've painted my first Lahmian Vampire:

Pre-Heresy primarchs?

[Shasvre]

This is finally getting released this Saturday (January 23).

Pre-Heresy primarchs?

Before even the Great Crusade, I think.

Angron, Corax, Dorn, Horus
Lorgar, Magnus, Mortarion, Perturabo

Having a crack at speedpainting with inks

[Local Trouble]

Inks?  Like colored Sharpies?

Is that what you have to resort to when you run out of your usual supplies?

No, inks like this:

The results look good to me, but I have an untrained eye.  Have you acquired anything new?
