New Players FAQ Part 2: Warhammer 40K Gaming Supplies

In the the first part of my new player FAQ, I provided a list of tools and supplies you will need to assemble your table-top miniatures. In this second part, I will provide a list of gaming supplies that you  will want, or need, to play a game of 40K. You will be lost without some items such as dice, templates and a tape measure. In fact, just yesterday my buddy and I watched an Imperial Guard (IG) army square off against an army of Tyranids (Nids) at our Local Games Shop (LGS), and neither player had a "flamer" template. Obviously, this increased the amount of time the IG player dedicated to his turns when firing weapons that utilized that template because he had to measure area of effect with his tape measure and meet the scrutiny of his opponent!

Forge World Weathering Powder: Seriously!

Last week I posted a rant in regards to Forge World's weathering pigments. I had ordered both sets for a total of 14 unique powders. When I received my order, I noticed that four of the containers contained less pigment than the other ten. Disgruntled, I emailed Forge World customer service to inquire and complain about the disparity.

Penal Legionnaires: Imperial Guard

My bud decided to sprinkle some penal legionnaires into his army and even whipped up a fluffy back story to top his Kriegs list cake. Since Games Workshop nor Forge World sell a ready-made penal legion kit or box, we have scoured the internet to see how other players have modded their "prisoners turned fodder squads". One combination in particular I like very much:

Troop Transport and Storage Product Comparison

Now that I have all of the components to build an interchangeable 2000 point army, I’m going to need a way to transport it to and from battle. I want a solution that will meet the standards set by most airline companies (45 total inches accounting for the height, width and length of the luggage piece), because one day I would like to attend a BoLScon!

Forge World Weathering Powder. Seriously?

Originally, I had planned to purchase a weathering pigment through Micro-Mark until I found Les' weathering line on Awesomepaintjobs.com. Unfortunately, when I ordered my pigments, Les was in the process of moving his online store and his pigments weren't available. Then I found a great review about Forge World's line of weathering pigments. I wanted to order a couple of resin kits, so I decided to take the plunge and purchase both weathering sets (14 unique pigments, total).

Auction Won: Termies!

I won these three Terminator Space Marines for 12 bucks including shipping- you simply can't beat that! Tuesday my Terminators arrived in the mail well packed and snug in bubble wrap. As you can see, some fellow painted his heart and soul into all three of them using a Blood Angel color scheme.
