Welcome To The Army Painter RuneWars Hobby Weekend
We're getting stuck into the painting this weekend alongside The Army Painter team as they begin teaching us how to paint the Army Painter way and get some armies down onto the tabletop.
Stick with us for more tips and tactics across the weekend.
What's Inside The RuneWars Box?
We take a look at what's inside the RuneWars box that the Hobby folk here are getting to work through.
Packed with models and with plenty to get on with this is going to be quite the weekend! Let's see what Jason has inside his box of goodies?
Meeting The Army Painter Guys!
We stop in with The Army Painter guys who are going to be guiding us through things this weekend.
You're going to be learning all about different techniques and so we thought it would be ace for you to know the fellows getting you stuck into the ways to paint quick armies.
Tips For Assembling & Cleaning Your RuneWars Miniatures
The Army Painter guys sit down and go through some tips and tricks for assembling your RuneWars miniatures.
Considering that they are made of a soft plastic you have to use some techniques that might not be similar to what you've been doing in the past.
This includes looking at what you need to do when it comes to cleaning up mould lines and more.
Getting Started Tips – Priming Your Army
We get some tips from the Army Painter guys about how you go about Priming your army.
There are some things to learn about the way in which the spray works and indeed some top tips afterwards about the way in which you can use the spray.
Remember the spray and stick method and indeed how much you're putting on your models.
What You Can Win This Weekend!
So, we have some awesome plans for what you can win this weekend as you comment on the Live Blog posts.
There are some awesome paint sets for you to snap up allowing you to get stuck into The Army Painter method.
A Spot Prize Giveaway
We have an unreleased miniature going to one of the lucky Hobby Weekend members!
In the true tradition of Fantasy on the tabletop we roll a D20 and find out who the lucky hobbyist is...
Bo’s New Strongtone Mixers
...is that Strongtone, or is it something more.
Maybe this isn't going to be as sedate a Hobby Weekend as we thought.
This should be an interesting bootcamp, really want to see peoples opinions of Runewars. Have fun all.
I find runewars an interesting game. Easy to learn hard to master 🙂
Woo! Looks like the gang is all here today.
FFG just updated this to have a street date of April 13th, so it won’t be long now.
I’m scratching my head as to why I didn’t ask permission from the wife to come over for this one. It’s holiday time (unusual for a school teacher and boot camps) and I have nothing on this weekend.
You could comment and try to win that megapaint set How is that for a weekend ^-^
This is the first hobby weekend I’m jealous of not attending.
Really wanted to go to this one but my inconsiderate sister decided to get married the same weekend
I’m sure if you had explained it was a boot camp she would have rearranged the date.
I am just ready to learn a idea never thought of
Woop another weekender to follow. I enjoy these
This is the boot camp that I’ve been the most excited about. I love me some hobby.
There’s a famous quote I’ve read somewhere that seems to fit, “Let’s get stuck in!™”
I am actually a bit excited for this.
Looks so great. A pity that in my country do not do things like that. I will follow you in Youtube :O
I’m excited to see how this format of bootcamp works out.
so curious about how it plays. Will it be a the new king of fantasy tabletop miniature games?
Looking forward to see how it all goes. I’m really interested in the game, but as painting the lead mountain has ground to a halt again, I need more info on how it plays before giving in to temptation!
Man, I wish I could hop the pond to be there!
What a great idea! A weekend get together for building and painting armies. It is interesting what tha might be considered the least social aspect of the hobby can be the most social. It is amazing how much can get done when you have other hobbyists in the same room sharing best practices and encouraging your work.
My buddy and I have swapped sides from two base sets and will be doing some painting progress posts on our blog.
I wish there were events like this in the States. What fun.
Enjoy the weekend gentlemen! I’m looking forward to seeing the results of non stop hobbying in action on Sunday 🙂
i am a huge desent fan, so I hope that these are compatible with that game.
I have .. I don’t want to say resorted but it is kinda that… resorted to changing up my painting techniques to try to get stuff painted and on the table even if it’s not my best work. I have been using the army painter quick shade/dip and overall have been happy… I feel like I should be doing a bit more extreme highlighting as the effect from the dip I have been using does darken a lot of the colors quite a bit… but the sealing and protect components have been very helpful. I think I should play around… Read more »
the army painter paints look like they have good coverage I could use some new paint.
Its really interesting to see how Fantasy Flight does a mass battle game. This has definitely peaked my interest.
This should be a good one
