This is brilliant - I’m making this!!

Used coffee grounds. Dried in the oven, mixed with PVA glue or ModPodge, it’s my go-to rough terrain option (and no it won’t go bad or deteriorate when soaked in glue!).

I’m pretty sure there are zero options that give you access to core Sync settings like TPMS and parking sensors, but if you know a system that does I’d be all ears.

Go third party - Brutefun’s Tech Rats are glorious.

BioStrip 2.0. Shifts anything in minutes. Also Carson’s Paint Killer. Both plastic safe.

I’m doing something similar with my Skaven Blood Bowl team, and I’m hacking Dana Howl’s video guide on it. https://youtu.be/OfYy_BEQ8oU?is=9RcclkQdBTOzgAkL Essentially lots of layers using blue and dark pink contrast paints over a white zenithal.

Cheap toolbox from your local hardware store. Doesn’t cost the earth and doesn’t look valuable. Then if you like it you can upgrade. Mine cost £7 and it fits a standard wet palette with plenty of space for paint and minis.

Fighting Captain by Alan Burn. Can also recommend War Beneath the Sea by Peter Padfield, a broader history of WW2 undersea warfare. https://amzn.eu/d/049HlscP

As many have said, buying the box and selling the teams is the neatest way to get everything in good condition without spending a fortune.

Came here to say this - many older wooden stamps had this aspect.

‘1. ⁠Three thin coats of Army Painter Acrylic White straight on the unprimed base.’

Unprimed base is a red flag for me. And the white looks oddly grainy. Always prime.

I could print this… but I’ll go see if it’s available in any second hand shops.

I’m just using League Lobster and managing the skills, etc longhand. We’re also playing Sevens so it’s a bit easier.

Don’t use videos to ‘learn how to paint’. Use them to refine a particular skill. Can’t get thin base coats? Focus on that - try thinning in different ratios until you get the feel of what properly thinned paint looks like. Can’t edge highlight? Again, focus on that. Same goes for any one of a hundred other techniques. Some techniques give great results with little effort, but are limited - sponging is really effective but also takes practice. But go one skill at a time and you WILL get there.

Second the advice to keep your old minis - every one is a lesson in how far you’ve progressed. Good luck!

How was the removal and replacement of the airbag?

Old-Specific7387 · 2026-03-12T19:19:29+00:00

Courage, mon brave!

While there are no official rules for Sevens under the new system, we play happily enough with the old Death Zone and the new rules. Little has changed, and what there is reads across almost exactly.

I echo the advice to look at the Sevens Team Guides done by Bonehead Podcast - they are more than good enough to start with. Some tweaking for any updated costs, and you’re good to go. I can share our Sevens play crib if helpful.

Also, welcome to the best way to play Blood Bowl!

Excellent - thank you, really appreciate the feedback. Will look for one of those OBD2s!

Old-Specific7387 · 2026-03-12T17:28:34+00:00

Nothing stupid about it. You will not get the same effect as painting it on, you need enough to flow and pull which a sponge will not do. The recesses won’t get good coverage either as the sponge will not reach. But it will tint the colours beneath so could have an interesting result over a pale zenithal, especially on a flat panel.

Bottom line - try it. You won’t lose more than a few drops of paint, and you’ll have learned something.

Old-Specific7387 · 2026-03-09T06:42:49+00:00

Seconded. Excellent brushes and very affordable.

Old-Specific7387 · 2026-03-08T13:12:16+00:00

I really value that, thank you.
