Right I’d better explain to Mrs LameBeard what to look out for! Although not seen any in W H Smith / T G Jones for a long time …

There’s a good way!?

And there is a great thread on this site creating Space Skaven for 40k. If I could score some cheap clan rats for copying that would also be useful.

“Painting is the most stressful relaxing” can we get this on B&C merch t-shirts as our new slogan please? Welcome

We’ve had the academic conference. There’s no way the musical is more outlandish. As Freud said “sometimes a cigar is just a cigar, but a joke is never just a joke.”

I wouldn’t say difficult. If you get it right, the texture lends itself well to dry brushing. Just be careful of any brittle, fragile corners. Here’s the Word Bearer squad.

Amazing project and fantastic models - I cant believe AT is nearly 8 years old already … <grumbles in old person>

The new mark of commitment: if you don’t cut your decals around your hatch gaps, are you a true son of Dorn? I feel your dilemma, brother. Those tanks are fantastic and it was absolutely worth it.

I was at my mum’s house at the weekend, and almost all my teenage Warhammer was cleared out long ago, but there’s still a copy of “Realm of Chaos: Slaves to Darkness”. I was marvelling at the fact every piece of art has a tiny little logo, with a legend up front to show the artist. Those were the days …

The models are now scaled at 1/4 height of the 30k versions for Epic so a true conversion would divide all distances by 4. Search “Pocket 40k” for more tips and tricks. Spoiler alert: magnets I would like to try but have gone off both Heresy and Legions Imperialis rulesets, so have no current momentum.

Yes I think Primaris bare heads would be a good fit. The gravis captain has a lovely couple of spares. Heresy marine heads are only a tiny bit smaller so you might get away with one of those - what about the head with the neat beard from the heresy tactical upgrade sprue? He looks like a calm and experienced presence. There must be lots of those floating around because it’s a nice head but doesn’t fit all legions and looks too specific to pop up in every squad. I wouldn’t rule out chaos range either. If you take the top-knot off the havoc sergeant he just looks like any marine who’s had enough of this tomfoolery today and will be dispensing the Emperor’s justice/khorne’s rage in some ill humour today.

I have done a few kitbashes, putting together chaos marines and heresy models. I made some Fallen for 40k that were rather forgiving (no pun intended) with just smashing bits together. My Heresy Word Bearers have been slower though - it was a pain getting the chaos torso front on the heresy body, I should have gone with whole torso. But then you still have the problem of loincloth mismatching legs. This sergeant was a pain - I want him to have the feel of “just beginning to dabble” in the dark arts. Turning the chaos up a notch and taking legs AND torso (the way @Pacific81 has done several Sons of Horus) might be the way to go. And then balancing things out with heresy era shoulder pads, helmet and backpack. I find the chaos backpacks a bit too much for 30k, but I have seen @Kizzdougs use them to very good effect - his ‘March of the Legions’ imperial fist springs to mind. I should have another go. I have a few Rubric bits I could try too. With the chaos/heresy leftovers, maybe I could make 40k Corsairs instead of Fallen?

That, sir, is commitment. Hats off to you! I can see it now.

Even if your customers are stupid and easily confused, it seems like a brave move to make a video suggesting they are stupid and easily confused. I guess the kicker at the end was that the guy is confused for a *good* reason because there was an apparently new product, and makes GW look stupid? I may be overthinking this too ...
