My uncle's quite the cheap - any more than 49 chickens and you need a lisence (sp?): guess how many chickens he has? 49. But it keeps him happy and the money coming in (and now me happy too - virtually unlimited supply of wraithbone!)

Well its eggs for lunch for me - need to get them shells somehow.
No prizes for guessing that after lunch I'll be working on some wraithbone bases, cant promise any pics due to the fact that I have no camera and a crappy internet connection..
Hopefully everything you guys have given me is enough - if not (and even so) I'll be back asking more questions of you!

pak n save sell milk. and steak.
cows don't lay models.
Although I must admit, after finishing a particularly nice steak one day, I turned to my wife and said "man, I wish I could throw a line off the wharf and catch a cow!"

Hmmm that does make for hard decisions Not really - Im not a huge steak fan, and as pityak said supermarkets sell milk.. ++EDIT++ Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that Im making up 5 master wraithbone bases which Im going to cast and then do enough for my entire army, pics will eventually follow. If anyone *looks at Dustan* decides they want some to finish an Eldar (or otherwise) army I can always cast extra |

I always want to do decorative bases but always end up with catlitter,sand and flock... lets face it. I am a slave to conformity

In my book that's the best way to go for gaming figures. i normally don't even bother with grass, just a sort of gravelly / sandy look, which is generall enough to fit in with a range of possible terrains. Display figures are different kettle of cliches.

PitYak, as a "professional", what do you know about painting a display army? Apart from taking your time, of course.. Are there any tips you could share?

My goal list for painting a display army is the following
*Learn Wet Blending (blending with quite watered down paints)
*Learn Non-Metal Metalic techniques (helps to have the above skill)
*Clean ALL mold lines
*Use lots of Green stuff to hide joins and gaps
*Create new details and custom jobs.
*Keep working on a model until its done, done and done. (Add more and more detail into the paint job)
*Create a sense of unity in an army of individuals

Ok so far I have mastered :
*Wet blending
*Cleaning mold lines
*New details and custom jobs
*Sense of unity
I dont agree completely wiht NMM or SENMM, and I never have money for GS. I always work on a model till either a) its absolutely completely 150% finished or b) I get so frustrated I throw it across the room (and then regret it)

Yeah NMM and SENMM are just things I wont to do... it always looks cool when photographed and can add an extra rich depth to the figure but for most armies I will use metalic paints...
