Hmmm after a bit of indecision i have decided to pull out as getting money for the past month has been an absolute mission, and will be for next month aswell, i have bought a bass guitar with a loan from my parents so i still need to pay them back $230, it is my Bday on wed or is it tues? but i will see after that if i will continue, and even if i do continue it will be a Tyranid army, sorry guys
BUT my freind and someone else are going to continue the Khorne army so ill still try and update how that is going from time to time.
Anyway ill see on the 3rd whether im able to continue

probably worth atleast 3 boxes of figures  My bro had a guitar, that way I found out I have very short fingers and have a hard time play the guitar. computers were the deamon that took my money away from models in my miss spent youth |

I keep looking at it thinking I should try and sell it but as soon as I pick it up I play a few notes and think, hey I should learn how to play this again. I'll just hang onto it for a few more months...  |

Actually thats a great thing to do, if everything else is sucking you can always start learning guitar. Something waiting to be done but without demanding it...

Check this link (repeated from above for your convenience) www.drunkdwarves.com/pages/artttgttcdipping.htmlEsentially (and using his colours) 1. Spray madels camo green 2. paint all bone abd chiton areas white 3. Dip entire model into polyurethane floor stain 4. shake off excess (messy) 5. Allow to dry (24 Hours) 6. Detail Base 7. Complete (Yay) The longest step is the drying, folowed by the painting of white and the results are evident (not my model!)  I havent tried it and cant recomend a stain yet. but it will work and I am going to try it =] If someone else does and finds a brand of stain that does work, lettuce know. |

The overall effect looks great, sorry for not noticing to link before, problem is buying the camo green spray and where do you get the polyurethane floor stain???

I say camo green I mean any spray that wont melt your models... the important thing is that it is a strong contrast with white (if the colours are too close they will look the same) The stain can be brought from ANY hardware store (bunnings, Mitre 10, Placemakers etc.) but like I said, I dont know what brand or product yet... given the simplicity of it I want to paint my stealers soon, but I also want another squad of last edition terminators so I can get back into space hulk...
