Re: Removing primer from plastic minis.

Dettol will knacker you hands , wear proper gloves if you use it .

Re: AoS New Terrain - Looks Exciting!

The price tag is just stupid for plastic scenery if you ask me , would have thought by now that the skulls would be long gone . Who is this marketed at then ? Not your average player of the game at that price :(

Re: Combined armies colour schemes?

If you are looking at stripping paint get hold of some Bio Strip 20 . Very easy to use , only takes an hour or so and will not make your hands feel as though you have put them through a paper shredder !

Definitely don't go near the resin fine cast - I bought that wretch and am basically binning him. The quality is abysmal.

Re: Dark Pegasus - What to do?

Thanks gents , fairly simple to fit the wings on this conversion . Just a little bit of carving on the ends where they fit the body of the horse followed by a small amount of Miliput to smooth the join out .The wings were fitted before gluing the two halves of the horse together so I could double pi...

Here is my attempt at a Pegasus using a horse from the new chariot and the Bret wings , not painted it up yet though . The area where the horse is gouged out will not be seen when the rider is added , had to remove this to get the Cold One Knights legs to fit . [url][/url] http://i123.photobucket.co...

I'd love to know your recepie for the wing membranes! The wings are Vargheist wings. The colors are graveyard earth followed by a fair number of washes with Earth wash...with dwarf flesh added in successive steps. Lastly the lightest bits have some pale flesh added to the mix.

Re: Nagash Lord of the Undead

Just had a look at this on GW site , impressive model but it costs £65 !! I know you can pick them up for around the £50 mark but that still seems a hell of a lot of wedge to me .
