On Sale - Rare Gamesday Miniatures

I've amassed a lot over the years and I really do need to start slimming the collection down! I simply don't have the space (nor willing wife) for a closet of doom the likes of Mordian! Hopefully the start of some selling will win some brownie points with the other half! (and bring in some funds for more projects... shh... don't tell her!)

I will be starting this with some rare gamesday miniatures and open them up to the community.

I've placed these in a thread on Warseer too, which can be used as a platform for trading if people feel more comfortable with that.

All of these are Brand New and still in their original packaging;

• £20 - 2002 Gamesday mini - Chaos Champion 
• £35 - 2003 Gamesday mini - Space Wolf Priest 
• £40 - 2004 Gamesday mini - Archaon on Foot 
• £30 - 2005 Gamesday mini - Space Marines Sgt Aurelius 
• £30 - 2008 Gamesday mini - Space Marine Captain 
• £20 - 2009 Gamesday mini - Exalted Chaos Hero 
• £20 - 2010 Gamesday mini - Chaos Sorcerer 

As always, no price is final so be sure to get in touch with your interest. You can contact me using by leaving a comment, through warseer or sending me an e-mail (I think you can see this on my profile page?)

I'm happy to accept paypal for both our securities, but if you want to discuss other payment methods then note that in your message. I can ship worldwide, and note that these costs may vary depending on miniature and quantity.

So, if you are looking for some rare models in mint condition then just get in touch... and be sure to share this with anyone you know who may be interested!

Oh and finally, in case anyone is interested in some painted Minotaurs (of the Fantasy variety) I now have a unit up on e-bay - here.

Armies - Converting Crypteks

Everyone knows that any good Necron army will make great use of a range of Crypteks. The trouble is that there are simply not enough of a range of suitable Cryptek models and you have to venture into the realms of Finecast for the privilege. I wasn't about to go and buy 3 or 4 identical models for a premium so I had a think, and a look around the blogosphere and instead bought a single box of Lychguard. Instantly saving me a fair chunk of cash (which, evidently I went out and spent on some Annihilation Barges... D'oh!)

New Edition, New Army... well sort of...

I'm alive! And more to the point am going to avoid talking about 6th edition rules! Instead I'm just going to get on with it. I've decided that my stalwart Guard, and stubborn Tau, will be taking a break from gaming and have turned to a new army for the new edition. Necrons. Well, I say new army, the truth is that I've had these models for an age, and have recently decided to get cracking on them, spurred on by some cool new Necron models! Does anyone remember this!?

VERY IMPORTANT NEWS: 40K 6th Edition; Starter Box Set Contents

Well 6th edition has landed on our door but that's no reason to stop! I have some more very important news regarding the boxed starter set contents. I think by now we are all under the impression that the set will contain Dark Angels vs Chaos... but the mix of models may well surprise you! Not only this, but it definately says a lot about the up-coming Chaos Army.

Take a look at these pictures which list out the armies;

Armies - Final send off!!

So, as the sun sets on a 5th edition and the forums and blogs erupt in over-excited rage-quitters and nay-sayers I'm staying firmly rooted and doing what we should all be doing - saying goodbye to a game edition that has been part of my life and hobby by entering into a "friendly" tournament!

A little while ago I made THIS POST, saying that you'll be treated to more Tau posting as I concentrated on finally finishing to paint my massive Tau force. Since that time you have had exactly 0 Tau posts! hmm... The Unrealistic Artist as started and finished an entire army in that time! If you are quick, you might be able to buy it too!

Tutorial - Easy Decals

Today I have a short post which will hopefully be a big help for people wanting to use decals, otherwise known as transfers. What follows are a few very simple, very easy steps that you can follow in order to make applying decals to your models a hassle free process which brings great results.

There are a few tricks to it, and without knowing or understanding the steps it can be easy to become disheartened by decals and avoid them altogether.
