HAIL HAIL!

My 40K interest began waaaay back in highschool when we I got my hands on a bunch of 3.5 Space Hulk floppies I got hooked the moment the intro and bg music kicked in... man that power sword and assault cannon totally kicked ass! Too bad one of the DW termies had his head lopped off!

Anyway months later as luck would have it, I bought the 1st edition board game (to think I rationed my weekly allowance!) after spotting it at a local comic store. It was the only copy to have made it to Penang. Since the termies that came with the box wasn't exactly "Astartes proportioned" I took a step further to visit a local 40K store, Games Castle located in Pulau Tikus then (heh I'm sure I've raised a few eyebrows by now). I purchased a couple of metal termies (Chaos captain and HB/PF SM), a starter's brush and some paint, which eventually made me realize that I couldn't keep up with the moolah I had to fork out! And so my interest went into stasis...

Fast forward to a decade later in KL! DoW pops outta nowhere, and reignites my wargaming interest... hotdamn! So here I am right now, painting my 4K BT army at a snail's place and excruciatingly waiting for my first battle.

Cheers!

welcome!!!

ola amigo, welcome to the forums

Welcome man, good to know you're still very into 40k.

Welcome Kahjin! 4K of BT?! Okayh.. stop painting for a while and roll some dice. You deserve it

welcome dude~~ I hardly game, but 4k point worth of minis, it could take ages to paint man~

welcome friend

Welcome hope to see you rolling dice soon.

Welcome abroad. Glad to know another Space Hulk and terminator fan

Play Space Hulk often?

Welcome aboard! Good luck w the painting! You might want to try breaking the army up into smaller batches to paint so you can get to roll some dice w your models soon. Good luck!

Hey guys appreciate the welcome and encouragement

Aye the 4K's like a bloody monkey on me back, so I'm gonna start with a tight group of 1750 first. What I'd usually do is:

1. Scrape all the mold lines off all the bits (everything from armor to krak nades)
2. Soak the bits with soaped water.
2. Paint bits separately
4. Assemble

Is this normal practice ah, cuz what I noticed from most tutorials is that they'll tend to paint fully assembled figures... which seems faster to me lah.

Anyway here's how far I've gotten with some of the minis and bits:

My Nutters

Shoulder Pads <- this is definitely gonna take some time!

Hey Boon yeah I used to play SH pretty often years ago but it's hardly the case now Have you played the 3rd edition set?

painting bits by bits is okay.. but slower coz you'll end up painting areas that people wont be able to see once assembled.

That wont be the case if painting after assemble coz you'll concentrate only on areas that your brush can reach. A veteran painter once told me, what the brush cant reach, the eyes cant see. So unless you're going for Golden Kriss, why bother kan

welcome on board kahjin... so it seen that you have played awhile. maybe we can game at HF sometime.

Hello hello! ^^ Good luck painting your army! =)

Very good point AK, might just try that over the weekend

Yo Dif I've not actually had a game so far but hope to be rollin some dice soon

The SH version I am playing is the recent Limited Edition one with Blood Angels terminators. I believe it incorporates all the rules such as the librarian and assault cannon rules from the previous editions.

I think we should bring over the SH set to the shop and play some of the mission there.. it would be fun.

Yeah sure just let me know and I will bring the box over. Wanna play something else while waiting for my new codex.

I got both the terminators and genestealers, tho they are Deathwing terminators

@ Boon Kin, Syamael: If you guys play SH, can I go and join to watch and learn how to play... I have a set but not fully painted~_~ Interest to learn the rules...

Awesome Boon, I'm looking around for the 3rd edition set myself but no luck so far. Just wondering did you get it online?

Aye I'm really curious to see how it differs from the 1st edition version as well. For some weird reason moving blips always unnerve me during the genestealer phase

Likewise with the rest, if you're planning a SH game lemme know man!

Welcome welcome... and good to know another SH player... care for a 4 player SH modded rule game...?

Space Marines vs Chaos Space Marines vs Orks vs Tyranids

Woah BLee haven't heard that before you got a link for rules?

@Kahjin: Nah I bought it off a player who wanted the termies only, so pretty much everything is intact.

@Blee: I have heard of modified rules, but woah I think it might get too complicated/long for us all.. nevertheless post us a link and we will see.

If anyone is interested, I will bring my set to Alvin's on next Sunday (M'sia Day) and we can game

sound good.. then we can play this coming sunday.. i will bring them genestealer... . I notice the first 2 mission is very simple to win for the termie.

aiooo!!! this sunday cannot... 15th is my wife birthday.. kena bawak jalan2. Hari malaysia ok i guess.
