Title: A new old player with some orcs
Post by: Tzigane on September 05, 2013, 03:55:40 PM
Hey everyone,

Just recently I found two players to play Warmaster with, it has been a long time.. I started when the game first game out, dark elves back then. I unfortunately sold that army, the same goes for my Empire army I had built from Pendraken Miniatures.

Still left are my ol' trusty Orcs, with whom I shall be smashing some skulls in the near future. I'm working hard to get a gaming board finished. Three boards are texture painted to give me a 195 x 122 cm area to game on. I have some ruins, some forests and a hill or two now.

Just today I ordered a dozen buildings from http://www.levenminiatures.co.uk/medieval.htm, it's 6mm, but should work well enough for WM.

Picture time, here are my orcs. Should be enough I think? I have some stuff in the lead lying around still, maybe 6/7 more units.

And for old time's sake, some pictures of my Dark Elf army, I really regret selling them, it's impossible to collect a new one I fear. Ah well.

And the Empire army I had, I don't miss them, but it's a great army to introduce new players with.

If there are any players from the Netherlands around, I'd be very happy to meet up and have a game or two!

I've seen Lex lurking around here, We've met a few times years back. :)

Hey Tizgane,

you live like 300 km away from me .... (which, at least in the context of warmaster, is not that far away).

Really nice armies, it is a pleasure seeing those large armies so well painted. Empire army looks great with pendraken figures!

Trolls are very funny, based like in a schiltron formation ! :D

Lovely painting! I think this reflects my experience too. When it comes to 6mm/10mm armies NEVER sell them. They're not worth that much anyway, they don't take up much storage space and you always regret selling them a few years down the line when that particular period/scale wargaming bug catches you again!

You don't miss the Empire? I think they're very nice.

Dave

I have an Empire army and living in the Hague so very nearby. I don't have a table myself but can come over to play some warmaster games. I played a few games when warmaster first came out but haven't played since. Beginning this year I dug my army out of retirement and looking to play some games.

Thanks for the replies!

Yeah, selling and regret... I take a bitter comfort in the fact that I've know worse regrets (selling my Warhammer Fantasy Roleplaying books, 1st en 2nd edition.. I still have them in PDF format but.,.. I had the real deal,... )


Alexander, I'll contact you! Awesome! Den Haag is quite close, and my table is getting closer and closer to completion!

Strange how things have different values to different people, I gave Dave W my WHFRP 1st ed book a couple of years ago when I was having a tidy out. I'd not opened it for 20+ years and certainly wasn't about to start playing it.

But 10mm figures - they don't get sold often.

Great looking armies. How many points are those?

My orc army is around 3000 points, the other armies around 2000. :)

Thanks for the info  :)

Been collecting Chaos for a while, but I have a bit to go before I reach 3000 points..

I've only bought figures on Ebay, and this is what I've gathered so far:

Started with a unit of Knights and discovered they were pretty fun to paint so I continued  :)

Looks suitably dark. My own Chaos army should be in the mail now. It will complete the collection with one of each army from the original book.

Wow... Do you paint all your armies like that ? Liking a unit and hop, everything is painted ? My armies are very fun do you  know ?

And by the way, i have some chaos unit if you need them. I don't play this army.

Ooh, those look nice indeed!  :D

Hehe..yeah..sort of. But I think it's because the miniatures look so great with a lot of character despite being so small.

I'm always looking for more units so I'm interested. What have you got?

Ooh, those look nice indeed!  :D

Thanks! I always get problems with the camera focus when I take photos of several miniatures at once. The shots of your armies seem very crisp and nice. Maybe you have any tips for taking better pictures? :)

Being a photographer and having some gear lying around helps. ;)

Though it's actually quite easy:

Use a tripod
Use a camera with manual aperture settings
Use a good background
Make sure the light is coming from sideways, or 45 degrees to the front/side
Use a reflector (white foamboard works perfectly for it, paper won't as it will reflect mostly blue light)

I'll try and use those tips at my next photo session. See ya all at 2000 points  ;)
