Member Since: September 7, 2013 RK: 1 MP: 0 | Sunday September 29, 2013 6:09 PM I am helping my husband get his Ogre army ready for a tournament coming up in a couple weeks since he'd never really gotten around to painting (not something he really enjoys about the hobby). Since I finished Ninja pretty early, I spent a little time painting a unit of 24 Gnoblars. The goal was pretty much to do them as fast as possible, and I ended up just over 15 minutes per model from priming to varnish. I did learn a few things along the way that would save me about half that time if I had it to do over again!. Some of these unfortunate Gnoblars are actually melted (GW plastic models CAN melt if you leave them in the car in the summer FYI). We actually also have some melted Bulls and Leadbelchers. They won't melt into puddles; they just lose a lot of details like faces and the edges between different parts like between pants and boots. Since the Gnoblars were all assembled and glued to bases and then melted all before a drop of paint, speed was really all that mattered, lol. These little guys really get in their own way if you fully assemble them before painting. It would have helped tremendously to have the heads left off.

At least there is no risk of the maneaters melting - they are the old metal kind.I play vampires, and I did play lizzies before that. I haven't gotten around to trying the new book out yet though. I like the game, but I love the minies. |

Member Since: August 3, 2013 RK: 1 MP: 0 | Sunday September 29, 2013 7:18 PM Used to be at Bragg so I know what you are talking about, extreme humidity!How does paint dry there, my paint dries before I can get the brush to the mini. I don't yet play WHF just started my own VC, last month's threat were some zombies, just a quarter of what is planned. Like Orks I love the hordes and hordes falling on their prey. But the mini count, oh that hurts. |

 Member Since: June 23, 2013 RK: 1 MP: 0 | Monday September 30, 2013 2:20 AM You did a nice work with these ogres. Car under sun can reach very high Temperatures, I would not leave the metal or Finecast miniatures neither. most likely they will not melt but they get softer and can bend some parts easily. |
