I need to acquire a few of those!

 

Thank you. I stole it from a picture I found on the internet.

 

Created a simple little tool, an undercoating stick. Models are magnetized to the surface for easy batch spray undercoating. Here it is before it gets sprayed up!

 

easy fix for a not necessary GW product

That's awesome..

 

Thank you! It took a very long time to complete (I blame video games) but it turned out well. It was originally planned as a prototype for a more complex building (that I may or may not ever work on), but I really liked how it developed so I put in extra time to make it look as nice as I could. But originally I just wanted to see how the stone work and thatched roofing would turn out.

 

@Lord Agragax of Lunaxoatl might like this one.

A fun little test piece I did while working out the colour scheme for my Chaos Dwarf Infernal Guard. I figured it was worth finishing off.

That was the kit around on display/playtest tables when I Walk into a GW store for the first time(s)

Lovely little trinckets have you painted up

Grrr, Imrahil

 

Thank you!

That was the kit that officially ushered me into Warhammer Fantasy. Prior to that, I only played 40k.

 

The King’s Wall from Battle for Skull Pass! With a brilliant paint job to boot! Oh you’re taking me back now mate! That was the set that got me into Fantasy officially too!

Still the best value set GW ever made (including better value than the current AoS sets - the minis may be better sculpts but there are half the number of them for double the price), and it seems we’ll never see the like again...

 

Thanks! It started off as purely a test piece for my Infernal Guard. I wanted to test out my Bronze scheme on a "throw away" model, before committing it to my expensive Forge World CD. I typically dig up an old shield to test things out on, but I wanted a model with a little more depth. I've had this piece lying around for over a decade, so it was a perfect candidate. Once it turned out well, I thought I'd finish it up rather than cast it back into my bits bin.

I'm glad you like it. Dwarf stuff!!!

It really was a great little kit. So many amazing models on both the Dwarfs and Goblins side. I think you are right, we will never see a kit valued so well again. I think they were something like $70-75 CAD back in the day. Buy two with a friend, one takes all the goblins and the other takes all the dwarfs, and you each have a nice sized army and a rule book (plus some dice and templates to boot). An unmatched value.

 

The Problem:
When it comes to Contrast paints (which don't do particularly well on wet palettes), I often paint directly out the pot. The problem is that they can be somewhat easy to tip over. Although I've yet to knock one over (knock on wood), I've come close several times. And Contrast paint is expensive, so I'd doubly like to avoid any costly spillages.



The Solution:
Utilizing a few bits of scrap maple and walnut wood (that were otherwise too small to be useful for much else), in conjunction with a bit of handy work, we arrive at a simple solution. I present to you, the NIGHTBRINGER's patented* Paint Pot SPS (spillage prevention system) :


An elegant system, for a more civilized age.

*product not actually patented

 

Great thinking. This will make for faster painting? doesn't it?

Brilliant. Combining two hobbies!

 

I wish!


...but I'm not counting on it

Indeed! A simple preventative solution.

 

My first time ever spilling a pot and that was Saturday night, Seraphim Sepia everywhere. What did my wife do? She sat and laughed
