A new old player with some orcs

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!

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?

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

Cool. Good luck!
