Jeff Goldblum will have to say “well, there it isn’t.”

I feel there is a compromise here: we assume each squad is actually a Demi-squad and give half the squads back banners. Still a bit awkward on the rhino door but rule of cool trumps all.

So the 32mm is for the leader then?

Yeah hence the rings - push hard and they stop you pushing harder: But that would might for something like miliput, not expanded polystyrene.

Do you mean like the Green Stuff World rolling pins? With the special rings to create an even thickness, textured surface on some kind of putty? Might be worth asking in the modelling section.

Love John Hodgson, terrified by AI.

Don’t click on suspicious links, kids! Absolutely agree some real death is needed and absolutely no reason GW can’t sell and we can’t play games with “dead” characters’ models. We had a Solar Macharius model, for example. They made it a story not a setting, so it’s a problem they created. I guess they are doing a bit, it’s why we have the next generation like Ursula Creed and maybe we’ll see more of that?

Ha! I guess I first got into Warhammer when I was 12 or 13. And my parents didn’t do anything to stop me - beyond maintaining an air of mild distain about it. I guess they saw me working to pay for it at least. I realised I had to try harder with my son to keep him from the addiction. I kept all my Warhammer secret from him, locked away in forbidden cupboards, and would avoid the shop in town. It didn’t work, he got invited to a birthday party that turned out to be a Warhammer painting party and came back saying “Dad, you won’t believe what I’ve discovered, there’s these amazing models and it’s called Warhammer and we have to get some!” He was about 10 maybe?

Welcome! Post pictures of the painted models please.

Not that I want to give them jobs, but is it easy for a friendly passing mod to add tags if they see obvious ones missing?

If you are worried about the “marines only” direction of White Dwarf, you missed the bit in the magazine that says they want you to provide the content from now on. Maybe more redundancies than just Lyle in the future, or am I being cynical and this is a change to get the magazine back in touch with genuine hobby roots? A chance for you to be the change you want to see in the world, whilst also, you know, doing work for free for a FTSE 100 company. Nice to see ‘War of the False Primarch’ getting a reference - does that mean it’s canon now!?

I like the idea of more explicit use of tags relating to the edition - and I don’t think this needs to have clubs set up automatically. As 11th edition approaches surely it will be good to see the tag on tactics and rules threads as these leak - and one day in the far future, when we are on 15th edition, those tags would then act as a guide through the archive. Similarly, if I were playing 9th when you’re all playing 10th, I could post a battle report with a tag, just so frater can realise some rules might be different. Not sure 9th was the high point for enough people to create a club. obviously it’s too much work to do retrospectively. The standardisation of tags for other games or rulesets would also be a benefit. i might need a reminder on tags …

Denied! Next time don’t hide a beauty like that in the spoiler. I wonder if I have one anywhere - I think we got one free with White Dwarf, but I might have the autogun version… love the poses @Cadmus Tyro, gives them beautiful weight and movement. Has converted me to them!

Love these sons of Horus @Pacific81. Did anyone claim the nerd points yet? I believe a shotgun from the plastic Goliath in the nineties Nwcromunda launch box?

I have some figures that I wanted to base bigger than 25mm and smaller than 32mm, and obtained some 28mm ish bases. I also obtained a few Kroot bits. i saw that according to the website, Kroot Farstalkers are on 28.5mm except one is on 32mm and one is on 28mm. What the heck is going on there - one model is on a very marginally smaller base? Which one? Or is this a typo on the GW site? But the main question is, for official GW bases, are there genuinely both 28mm and 28.5mm, can you tell the difference in person, and which models tend to come with which, if there is a rule of thumb?
