Not about painting but today I learned that my local GW store closed some time ago.
I feel sad, especially for the guys that spent a lot of time there, painting, building and playing AoS and 40K. They were always there when I visited, and I spent hours discussing with them even when I was only there to buy some models or a pot of paint (I bought most of my GW stuff there even if it was a tad cheaper online, just to support the place. I didn't play a lot there, just a handful of times, but always had fun). I guess I will never see them again.
The next two stores are each around 30km away, not going there I guess.
In more uplifting news: I looked at some models online, since I might start another small army when I run out of stuff to paint and still have motivation left.
Right now the Beastmen look surprisingly good to me, probably because I am having fun with them in TWW2. The models are older and less detailed but not too hard to paint.
I might even try the old world when it is released (and the rules aren't a bloated mess like 8th), even though I hate the look of square bases.
I hope there will be some way to make something like square multibases with round slots so I can play AoS or TOW. I like AoS so far. But this is GW so I don't expect a lot.
The other army I looked at is the Lumineth dudes.
My wife and I agreed that we like pretty much all of the models, but WTF is wrong with their helmets?! I looked at almost every single one of them, pointed at some spot and said "I'll just cut here and here, and it will look ten times better". (Usually just cutting off the upper part of the helmet).
