Geez I should have done this years ago

[Thalidar]

Hay guys, 

 

I'm now returning to the hobby after many years away (when the sisters actually had the witch hunter manual). A time when I started the hobby by painting up the start of a sisters of Battle team, along with their Immolator support. Alas I hated painting the metal miniature's faces and with it's tiny range I packed all but the Immolators away. (I still have it on display I loved it that much).  

 

So tried a few other ranges which the family liked Aeldari (daughter), Ork mobs (wife), and to a lesser degree some Forge world Badad wars Space Marines. Then out of the blue the local GW store closed down :(, I guess they got tired of baby sitting whilst the parents went shopping in the mall. Anyways as I didn't play, my motivation was more about the painting of them and with the store gone other life events took over. So into a box my collection went for hopefully another day.

 

6-7 years on and after a comment by my wife about why did I still have a painted Ork and a Terminator (both free give aways from WD mag) at pride of place on my computer desk things took a turn. Wouldn't you know it a short time later she's saying I should see about getting some more paints and finish what I started years ago if I wanted too. TBH, I wasn't sure but after checking out some you-tuber reviews about the current range it started to draw me back in. Especially as it wasn't the one box of to be painted kits but 3 boxes full of models I'd collected but never got too, SM's, FW models, Orks, Aeldari, CSM etc... yikes...    

 

What finally sold me though was Dark Imperium, 2 full sides and a promise from the wife she'd also give it a go as long as I did the painting...

 

So here I am feeling like a total noob painter, completely confused by what they did to SM's and the game, and a bucket load of new paints starting the  "Celestial Storm Fists" and their arch nemesis's "The Swamp Raiders". 

 

Really looking forward to being part of the ongoing B&C community and the inspiration you all bring.   

 

NB: how do you upload pictures?

Welcome!

Regarding images, I saw your post in the Sons of Dorn Expansion VI thread and saw you mention imgur. With imgur, are you using a computer or a phone? If the latter, I can't really help because I don't use my phone for that. But on a computer, if you upload an image to imgur (preferably in a folder, that way you can keep everything organized...ish) and hover over the picture there's a drop-down menu. You click "get share links" and the one that says BBCode (Forums) is the one you want.

Thanks Gederas, Turns out the forum address doesn't work but the direct link one does.

 

A big thank you from Grung Manbane for putting me in the right direction!
