I have an old gw drybrush which I use but it is ready to be replaced. Had a look at the army painter range of brushes. They are reasonably priced and I think they sell a drybrushNafNafhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15788927908701998169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5766430862052117520.post-2801506931632943082015-06-01T13:52:59.955+01:002015-06-01T13:52:59.955+01:00I am waiting patiently for the orders to go up.

Incidentally I cannot wait for the retail release of Sigismund! I love the pictures we've seen so far. Are you going to be picking one up? I think he'll make a great Emperor's champion or chapter master in 40K games.Rob-not-stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13535589578326730130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5766430862052117520.post-41533049733969904962015-06-01T13:49:22.130+01:002015-06-01T13:49:22.130+01:00Yeah I am really excited to put this together and ...Yeah I am really excited to put this together and because I'm not trying to match to anything other than the grim dark aesthetic its let a lot of other sources come out of the wood work! I have purchased a 7 inch model of one of the Jaegers from Pacific Rim... Watch this space!<br /><br />I do love blight wheels stuff, its on the fairly expensive end for me but its definitely on the wish list for some of its bigger beasties!<br /><br />Ah thats good to know, Nick has also recommended the windsor newtons for detail and blocking work. Is there any brushes for drybushing that you recommend in particular (not that I can imagine you drybrushing tbh naf!), as those looked to be quite interesting in the new GW range.<br /><br />I think the outdated feel of a codex in this rapid release has been felt particularly hard by the True Kin sadly, especially in light of both the Harlies and Craftworld release being very flavourful and powered well and overlly so respectively.Rob-not-stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13535589578326730130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5766430862052117520.post-1082899868812871092015-05-28T14:10:32.737+01:002015-05-28T14:10:32.737+01:00On the templar stuff...there are existing chapter ...On the templar stuff...there are existing chapter tactics which match them pretty closely (not vanilla) you could still use. I'm a templar player myself, and won't ever sell that army...though I am planning on making them "first" templars, but that is more a reflection of the awesome FW templar bits available now :)greggleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15528518337222880432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5766430862052117520.post-85869357251742605412015-05-26T23:54:40.784+01:002015-05-26T23:54:40.784+01:00Sweet. I cannot wait to see this army come togethe...Sweet. I cannot wait to see this army come together. Maybe do a big mashup of parts between all the different manufacturers, so that the models are no longer recognisable as what they were, but have become your own fiendish creations.<br /><br />check out blight wheel miniatures, they have some cool mechanicum like models, and puppetswar also have some nice bits and models.<br /><br />As good as the GW brushes look, do not buy! They are horrendously overpriced. You can buy a much better brush for alot cheaper at most art stores or Ebay and Amazon. Windsor and Newton series 7 brushes are the dogs bollocks (what I use....the brush not the bollocks ;) ) and you will never look back. 00 size is the fine detail, 1 for standard and 2 for more blocking in.<br /><br />I am finding the rapid re-release of codexes intensely frustrating at the moment. I feel my codexes that ave not long been released are suddenly irrelevant and severely underpowered (I am no competitive player but I do want to have a good, balanced and fun game without just removing my models in bucket loads). I hope your black templars get some love in the new space marine codex. It will be a shame if you have to sell them.<br />NafNafhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15788927908701998169noreply@blogger.com
