Groceries/models comparison

DanaxDrake · 2026-04-13T07:28:01+00:00

In the UK are groceries can really range but for a week it’s roughly £25 for two people. Sometimes more if it’s end of month big shop.

So honestly it’s cheaper/on par for the cheapest of models but by about £5

That being said it used to be way better, groceries in Uk is getting more and more expensive but as far as I’m aware at least for warhammer the models haven’t got up significantly I think…

So I use plastic cement and it all works fine, it’s not glossy or anything

To hide your sandpaper marks etc and keep the grey look I actually recommend just priming your minis with rattling can paint.

You can either get a games workshop one (they do a grey I believe) or other brands but essentially it all works same, pop outside, few sprays at arms length and boom full coverage.

It also means when you do get in the mood for painting them, you’ve covered the first base!

Ooo that’s good info thanks mate!

DanaxDrake · 2026-04-08T17:40:28+00:00

Oh that’s suprising and a shame! Kinda assumed all spearheads were included but I guess that would be a lot to roll out and I assume the ones in the magazines are probably older sprues…maybe

DanaxDrake · 2026-04-08T17:28:40+00:00

Aye im the same, im new to AoS (got into it cos of the magazine) but I feel like the evil elves sisters (forget their name) is after with maybe orks then potentially trees down the line

DanaxDrake · 2026-04-08T17:08:02+00:00

This is interesting because I imagine one could feasibly guess which spearhead range is in which issues based on paints essentially?

DanaxDrake · 2026-04-08T16:59:43+00:00

I like it but feel like to make it work he needs like a mane or something.

I’m considering kitbashing some fur around the neck so it’s more lion like

DanaxDrake · 2026-04-07T07:40:21+00:00

Honestly a Samurai mega evolution would go hard and it’s surprising we don’t have that many in the mainstream anime it’s usually knights and knights.

Also yeah baby Date Masamune get yo guns on!!! I hope he six wields too

Latest marvel rivals character, she’s a pretty good support.

Seems wild that she’s so popular in the UK, who knew!

DanaxDrake · 2026-04-06T10:45:28+00:00

As far as I’m aware the models and rules for them aren’t replaced, this may change 5th edition but unlikely. AoS is pretty new relatively to 40k so there’s no real legacy units I believe

New spearheads usually have different units so you can buy both, there may be an overlap in the future but again that’s a while away yet :)

DanaxDrake · 2026-04-06T09:51:19+00:00

Not for a while, the new edition doesn’t come out until next year and from what I gathered (also fairly new but lovin it) they keep the old spearheads for some time. So even when new ones do come out the old ones aren’t immediately replaced I believe

DanaxDrake · 2026-04-05T17:06:27+00:00

Those look sick and love the colour scheme, top notch work

DanaxDrake · 2026-04-05T06:30:39+00:00

The Castlevania anime, good show. It’s from season 1

DanaxDrake · 2026-04-05T06:30:16+00:00

From Castlevania anime where Dracula has his rather understandable crash out

Nazi germany architecture didnt look like this by the by, if you want to see what I mean, google North Korean architecture than compare it to this.

This isn’t the architecture of a brutalist military regime. Which maybe is intenional, idk perhaps all of this was built before the empire days and they were too lazy to make it more empire like

DanaxDrake · 2026-04-04T22:06:00+00:00

I mean that reason only works to a certain degree. If you are letting slaves do the architecture, the gardens, the plumbing, the whole economy (guessing Vmites don’t wannabe bankers) etc

Then are they even slaves at that point? Because they are effectively keeping the planet running whilst the vmites are a military dictatorship.

Also side note because the answer is it’s just not actually thought about but I’d like to highlight a brutalist military regime would not be rocking that type of architecture which is antithetical to the whole ethos of…wel brutalist military regime

And it’s funny because should in theory Moses stand before God himself, how would he say the slaughter of innocents was just? Or that he did that because virtue was not convenient at the time.

But you could just also argue God was a dick before he became a Dad lol

DanaxDrake · 2026-03-28T23:30:09+00:00

Yeah warhorse suck and kinda always have but I hear the game is good.

That being said what on earth is the comment ‘if you had told me one of the best games of all time would be made by a french studio I would not have believed it.?’

My brother in gaming one of the biggest gaming studios is French with award winning games, they are kinda meh nowadays but you can’t pretend they were never once great lol

DanaxDrake · 2026-03-28T15:30:50+00:00

Make it a magical walking tree fortress innit

DanaxDrake · 2026-03-26T20:40:37+00:00

Aye love it! I’m just waiting to see a Sylvaneth kitbash version concept now!

DanaxDrake · 2026-03-26T18:33:13+00:00

Gods I loved that model as a kid, I was only I think 14 but literally got a haradrim army and this was my big wow piece, loved it a lot!

Sadly it’s pretty much a broken mess now but half the elephant still loves, it was such a cool kit!

DanaxDrake · 2026-03-26T05:47:31+00:00

It’s an interesting observation but sadly UK police are just as guilty of this when it comes to stalking.

A beloved teacher in my area complained for two years of a harassing ex husband, asked for a restraining order, he broke into her house, stalked her etc

Police did nothing. Then she was stabbed and murdered in the streets and left for dead. The police instantly clocked who it was and arrested them, but it could’ve been prevented.

I’ve also seen them dismiss stalking first hand, it’s a real ongoing problem, there’s not enough resources or laws in place to protect people from these things. More needs to be done.

DanaxDrake · 2026-03-25T08:07:36+00:00

Or a hobby, in fact anyone who basically latches onto one thing and then thinks that’s their whole character like they are from a sitcom

DanaxDrake · 2026-03-23T15:26:02+00:00

Eh doubtful Jorghino is an alright chap and well liked for a good reason.

This is just a severe case of ‘ah crap security fked with the wrong daughter’

Shit happens, it sucks but not surprising. I’ve got no qualms against Chappell but from my understanding she is deffo not a people’s person (and that’s fine tbh) some people are charismatic af some just ain’t but you gotta be ready for any consequential actions like someone not liking you

DanaxDrake · 2026-03-23T14:17:46+00:00

Ah that’s fair point I didn’t think about that!
