TheGayGamer | A big pink hello! |
Member Since: April 12, 2014 Initative RK: 1 MP: 0 | Saturday April 12, 2014 3:09 PM Hi guys,My bio says pretty much what I'm gonna say here! Basically I'm British and I used to be a 40k gamer (Imperial Guard) and I have around 3000+ points of models, mostly unpainted in a big box on top of my cupboard!). I'm looking to get back into 40K and start a Space Marine army, possibly Ultramarines as that was my VERY first army that I painted up (I am sure I can dig out a few old surviving relics of those abominations!). I joined this site as I have been watching LOADA of GW based vids on the YouTube and I came accross Chung (that's what he said!) and TheJoeyBerry (who is just simply AWESOME) and I kept hearing about the site so I joined it! I know I'm not an actual gamer as such, but my plan is to build a playable army in the next few months and get back into a hobby I have always cherished. Bright Blessings TGG |

Member Since: May 10, 2013 Initative RK: 1 MP: 0 | Tuesday April 15, 2014 7:01 PM Welcome and have fun. I'm sure you can keep up to my painting and I enter the threat every month. Its all in good fun and you might even win a cool prize. I have about 5.5k space marines and 4k of necrons. I also really enjoy infinity the game and warmachine. Enjoy your stay on the forums, Mike |

Member Since: April 12, 2014 Initative RK: 1 MP: 0 | Friday April 18, 2014 1:21 PM Thanks Mike for saying Hi.I think I may practice a bit before getting myself into the monthly threat as I am a bit of a perfectionist lol I've never tried any other system than 40k but I've heard a lot about others like Wild West Exodus and Malifaux et al, I'm sure they will pique my interest at a later time when I have my feet firmly under the gaming table as it were lol I still need to figure out how to post pics on here and such but it's all a learning curve I guess. I will be sure to keep an eye on the monthly threats and compare my feeble skills against those that post lol Again, thanks for saying hi. BB TGG |

Member Since: May 10, 2013 Initative RK: 1 MP: 0 | Friday April 18, 2014 9:45 PM Just remember, the Monthly Threats are not a contest, so you level of skill has no bearing. It's meant as a way to motivate you to paint something. Also, it is a chance to get some great feedback on your mini, thus improving your skill set. Most of all it is meant to be fun, so when you feel comfortable join in, and, "PAINT PUPPY DOG, PAINT!!"Sarge "If you ain't CAV, you ain't!!" |

Member Since: April 12, 2014 Initative RK: 1 MP: 0 | Saturday April 19, 2014 3:46 PM Hi Sarge,OMG I just found out I like being called 'PUPPY DOG' lmao. So do I just post in the general painting board or is there a specific thread that's dedicated to the threat? I realise it's not a competition but I am, all at the same time, a perfectionist, a realist, and a bit OCD when it comes to projects so I want to be able to make sure that I am showing myself off at my best. Though it would be very handy to get tips and techniques off other gamers and see how they go about their projects and better my own hobby. I am a tad far from actually doing any of the hobby anyway as I am starting from scratch again so currently reading through the Rulebook and Codex and trying to get my head around stuff. I also need to set up my dedicated workspace that I want to have in place before I start putting together any plans for modelling and painting. The coming months will be very exciting and I am really looking forward to getting fully involved with all sides of the hobby. I can't wait - but I must lol BB TGG |

Member Since: May 10, 2013 Initative RK: 1 MP: 0 | Saturday April 19, 2014 6:09 PM It is easy to enter. From the Discuss tab, click on the Painting and Modeling tab, then click on the Work In Progress, BOOM, you're there. This month's is already in progress, so you have some time before the next one, and you'll be able see how it works. I too was hesitant to enter at first, as I am a bit of a perfectionist too, and didn't feel I was up to standard. But, once I dove I been going at it each month. Not in this month's as I went to Adepticon and wasn't prepared for it, but will next month. Take your time, don't feel pressured, this is a great group. You can be involved by commenting on the threats, ask a question, and such. Hope you get your, "hobby space", set soon, just remember, no matter how much space you set up, it will never be enough...lol. Look forward to seeing you in threats soon.Sarge "If you ain't CAV, you ain't!!" |

I will most certainly head deeper into the forums now that I have my feet wet lol TGG |
