@mage the link did help, thanks mate! Using that as the basis I was able to roughly work out what’s included. Provided it doesn’t change too much, lol.

Nice reward for long service!

The rusty basing works well with the gold minis, too.

I think that Dreadnoughts might be my favourite Space Marines…

@blinky465 nice work! I’m referencing this info in the future when I get around to obtaining a 3D printer.!

That collection of 3D prints… so cool!

@sundancer I did indeed PPS! I’m trying it out, since the last Space Marine build I did, i was getting frustrated with the time taken to put down base colours on assembled Space Marines. I know I have to damage the paint to get them off the sprue, but I figure it will be small quick patch ups.

@robert not quite as polished as @tuffyears but, good job ?

Wardancers are possibly the best Elves ?

@tuffyears so much red Marines!

Thanks @woldenspoons I knew it would be “good value” but I didn’t expect that much of a difference…

ok why did you switch to Black Legion? Oh… OH! Lol!! What was the reason? A bad ‘un…

@evilstu so, wait, you’re saying that the printer isn’t supposed to look like it’s foaming at the mouth like a rabid raccoon brushing its teeth? Right, noted *scrawling sounds*

I found issue 1 of Conquest at a local news agency Monday last week. It must have been the first day of release, they had about half a dozen issues there. Tempting as it was to snap them all up myself, I took only one copy and left the rest.

Issue two I’ve not grabbed yet. The branch of the same news agency near work had no copies around, though they had little paper Primaris stuck all over a column near the counter.

The best way to see what we’re getting for the money is the link @mage put up

Leaked – Full Warhammer Conquest Magazine Contents Per Issue (Issues 1 – 80)

But I think I get what you saying: for the same money there’s better value still to be had, elsewhere.

You’re right of course. Further, if I was going to go and buy that stuff independently, I wouldn’t buy the Death Guard content. I could always resell or trade that later and recoup some of the cost. The Loyalist stuff and scenery interests me though, and paints are good to have.

You are a voice of reason @evilstu !

I can rationalise it this way to myself I suppose: it’s stuff I’d (mostly) want to buy, I can get a good price for it. It’s spread over time, so I can work on it as it comes and break up other projects.

I can use some of it as conversion practice, since it’s a little cheaper without worrying that I’m chopping up full value minis too.

I’m trying to make a more rational-less sleep deprived decision… lol!

Ok, I’m going to wander off and do some painting, I’ve got a brother and his fiancé coming in from interstate tomorrow night, so no painting at all after tonight until Monday afternoon at the earliest. These elves won’t paint themselves!
