@woldenspoons it’s really great and actually quite refreshing to hear someone say that they are happy with where their painting skills are at. Made me smile 🙂

@dawfydd wow, impressive recovery effort! now that’s the type of environmental recycling cause I could really get behind… considering revisiting some of my old and now long OOP metal minis. I guess if I take ‘before’ photos then I can strip away guilt free?

@mage mad respect for getting on top of the housework. Terrain is looking really nice – I’d be considering a double-subscription to Conquest. Kidding (kinda…).

@jodain cheers. I’ll have to see how the siege tower looks once assembled. I wanted to keep it ‘faction neutral’ so no splashing on orc warpaint etc. However maybe painting and adhering shields to the surface could add some interest? Or maybe pennants to the top? Will have to see. And there is nothing wrong with staking out a good sniper nest early on in the game 😉

@onlyonepinman nice crisp work on your Pelican. Really like the choice of colours too. Appreciate that washes and engine exhaust etc will give it a touch of realism but it almost seems a shame.  I went overboard on the Battlesystems fantasy KS so haven’t backed the others (postage to Oz is a bit steep – not meant to be a slight on the guys at Battlesystems, more an observation that they cram so much into their sets that they weigh a tonne) but they all do look really good. Smart move keeping up to speed on most of their KS’s – they always seem to be running a theme 6 to 18 months before the game that really needs that terrain gets released – It’s almost like Colin has some mysterious precognition… Osprey game Rogue Starts? I’ve always been keen to do a cyberpunk table. Mainly just because. Have some terrain from Knights of Dice stashed for just such a purpose.

@horati0nosebl0wer love the Hobby Cheating vids 🙂 I’d also recommend the Vallejo ‘Black and White’ paint set with the included ‘how to’ step by step guide by Angel Giraldez. Siege engines are all 3d prints from Printable Scenery. GW did release some siege kits back in 5th ed WHFB if I recall. I think there was an attacker and a defender set that were released to tie in with the fortress that they had released at around that time. Those tanks look awesome. Are you planning on subtle tank colours or not so subtle ork colours?

@sundancer good to see you back 🙂 Hope you are recharged after your hobby break.

@arkmechanicus glorious work! The detail on that book familiar is amazing! Have you posted pics to the What Are You Painting Now thread?

@jodain agreed!
