i was in GW wednesday and noticed a balrog /Gandalf painted model and wondered if anyone else had seen the LOTR figures/game and if it was good.

Some nice 40k spacemarines as well, got a nice SM army set for £40 with the paints about £12-£14 dependant upon what you want (notably space wolves)

Yes seen the LOTR figures they do look good
as for the game never played it but read a few reviews and I think its gonna be along the lines of heroquest

Yes seen the space marines but unfortunatley they I need to keep getting my Imperial Guard sorted before I
venture into haveing a space wolves platoon as cover for it!!!


you thinking of collecting again bro ???

Have you been to

Games Worshop Oline

I spend some time most weeks looking on there at the diff figures they sell

[hornedrat]

thought about it cause I enjoyed the painting side of it, more fun then the game, not sure I wold collect an army just figures I liked such as the Gandalf/Balrog scene I saw.

Did you know that there is a new warhammer fantasy coming out in september?

[NiftyWolfie]

I didnt know that bro

been busy trying to paint my figures to be honest

Ive still not got the game....just the figures and a lot of paint

I got a dragon just because I like mythical creatures and enjoy painting, havent finished it yet, but if it hadnt been destoyed once by something falling on it it would have been

[hornedrat]

I have my myth and magic dragons plus a fire dragon model that the mother in law got me for xmas.

I not sure I will have time for painting and things given all my other time commitments heck I only get on here post 10pm

[loopylou]

I find that painting is one of those things that I can only do if I've got the right frame set, otherwise I just sit looking at things wondering what to do next

[hornedrat]

for army painting best to plan it before you do it, try and draw it for one-offs draw if you can if not then just go with the flow but you need and not to be rushed.

[NiftyWolfie]

I had a basic idea how I wanted them to look,
so I took that idea and ran with it.
they dont look to bad but then Im no expert painter either!!

[hornedrat]

you forget me seen you paint, never seen figures done with a b&q roller before!!

Remember the twin land raiders I hadm they would have gone nice with a space marine army.

you ever get dawn of war to work?

Might eb nice to have a game of it sometime.

[NiftyWolfie]

yes got dawn of war to work

I think my paintings got better since!!!!

[hornedrat]

I must admt keep being tempted everytime I walk past GW in the bullring

[NiftyWolfie]

When I go get my figures from leannes are have to stop by show you them......think you'll be surprised how much better my paintings become

[NiftyWolfie]

Cant find my book with the key code in it for dawn of war so can't play it yet bro till I've got the code again

[hornedrat]

ok let me know and we will have to get together, you seen any good modern flight sims for the pc (i.e. not ww2 more f14/f16)

[NiftyWolfie]

cant say that I have bro....wishes I could find a good one myself

got combat flight simulator 3 but its very crap


if I see one Ill let you know

[hornedrat]

found a f16 one called falcon 4.0 allied force, seems very good so far (am on mission 2 of training) has a multiplayer mode as well where you can fight as a unit against the computer

[NiftyWolfie]
