  1. I pre-ordered this from a retailer in the UK last year and They tell me they are still awaiting stock from the supplier who seem to be drip feeding them (and presumably other retailers) one or two in every other order. I'm told my order will be filled by the end of April.

     

    Posted before I saw Nathan's reply, sorry

  2. Finally got Hoffman pretty much done :) it's been a labour of love certainly.

    There are a couple of tiny finishing touches to do to these, like the wash on the base I mentioned, some stitching on the watcher's wings and probably a dab of wash on each rivet, but it's less than a half hour of work total :)

    Excuse what is hopefully the last in a long line of crappy photos, I did order some parts to hold my phone ion a tripod, and need to fond some lamps.

    I also only just discovered the crop function,m but of course only realised that I was saving over the top of the originals by the time I realised I could dictate the size of the crop and have all the images the same...

    Learning curve ;)

  3. Slow progress with Hoffman. I've not painted metallics on so much of so many models for a while...

    They are pretty much ready to start adding the dark grey/red colours which I use throughout my guild models, and then I can add weathering. I've been using my incomplete Peacekeeper as a reference to this point, but I'm nearly at the stage with the rest of them that he is at so I'll be doing it all together.

    Might switch to do some Neverborn painting at some point soon though to avoid any more metals :P

    I  was a little worried about pulling the Hunters/Watcher up from the magnetic storage I use as they all have a small point of contact with the base and I only just manage to pin the watcher through the straight leg, so I used the pipes in a workaround which I describe in detail here. Just to add some liquid greenstuff to the Hunters and everyone is ready to be sprayed to paint :)

    I would share the progress I've made with my Neverborn, but maybe I should do that in a new thread.

  5. Yeah that seems to be the big difference is that I would pick a force for Warmahordes from my folder before I left the house to play so the majority of my cards were always at home, so it's no bother taking a handful with me.

    Cheers for all the feedback and tips

  6. I think I still have some of the separate binder pages like this  which is what I used for Warmachine/Hordes, so they would all fit into a folder.

    I did a test run last night though when our friends came over for a game, and having everything in my lunchtin worked fine, plenty of space for all my factions with dividers and room for tape and tokens too.

    Inelegant and may get update but I'm happy for now (I think)

  7. I must say I got sick of card folders/binders from my WarmaHordes days.

    Boxes seem to be working for me for now, although I use Ultra-Pro just because I'm familiar with the brand from way back when :)no hassle to try something new.

     

    Thanks everyone

  8. So you would have a box each for stat cards and upgrades per faction (2 boxes per faction)?

    I was wondering about using a Starwars (I think it might be supossed to be alunchtin) tin box to just have everything in with dividers to be honest

  9. Hi all

    I wasn't sure where to start this thread, but how do you guys store/transport cards?

    I currently have a deckbox in which i'm trying to squeeze all my guild cards plus all the many and varied upgrades from both upgrade decks. Then of course I have at least one fate deck, my strats and schemes deck, and if I might not want to play guild, I have to take my Neverborn deck box too.

    Not only am I carrying a lot of cards about, but it seems I might even need more than one for just my guild cards :/

     

    Does anyone have a solution I might not have thought of?

    Cheers :)

  10. Hi mate

    Welcome to the community :) Hobbying is a great catharsis for stuff that's going on around (for me at least) and I really find my zen when I'm painting. Hope it can help you relax with all the other stuff you have going on!
     

    I can't see the pictures you posted as I'm at work, but it sounds like you know where you're going with your concept, so keep it up! :)

    I am also doing a part-time 40k modelling project (that I probably wont end up playing many games with), which I will be updating on my blog and another forum if you're interested.

    Cheers
