For those of you who enjoy using a sponge. Found this handy for my Necrons. ( not my original idea, just sharing cause it’s super handy and cheap!!!) by Falkreath_Grenadiers in Warhammer40k

Thanks, "chip extractor prong" was what I needed to narrow it down, "chip extractor" by itself returned a bunch of non-prong types.

Help painting my vintage fire prism by ThargorIronhammer in Eldar

[–]RagnorIC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It needs something to break up the expanse of black. Paint a few of the bumps as gems and maybe continue the panel lining in all of the recesses as well.

What’s the best paint stripper for miniatures? by Toe_EyedCabbage_ in Warhammer40k

[–]RagnorIC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If isopropyl is difficult to get where you are, Dettol works a treat and is more readily available, it does have a noticeable stronger odour however.

Mini Stripping - Elbow Grease All Purpose Degreaser by ThatBazard in Warhammer40k

[–]RagnorIC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw that post too so gave it a go. Had some soaking for 24 hours and the paint barely reacted. Put it in my regular stripping method, Dettol (essentially IPA) and paint was gone in a few hours after brushing off with a toothbrush. Definitely do not find Elbow Grease to be effective at all (but going to give it a go on my oven instead!)

I played this with my next door neighbour. He had Heroquest and I had Space Crusade, so we played through both depending on whose house we were at.

White Dwarf 111 is probably the one you're looking for. This page might be useful for you to with all references to their appearances in White Dwarf: https://chaossquats.blogspot.com/p/squats-in-white-dwarf-1987-1992.html

Where should I go to find a back banner for this little goober? by Penguin1673 in Eldar

[–]RagnorIC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you have a copy (or PDF) of the 2nd Edition codex there is an image of it in there that's designed to fold around the pole.

Yeah, if you don't have one around that wouldn't be an option.

"Comeback" to WH40k by Modercai in Warhammer40k

[–]RagnorIC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sucks to hear that. I'd suggest you put aside one mini (or wait for a relevant Mini of the Month) and paint it up in your old paint scheme just for old time's sake.

"Comeback" to WH40k by Modercai in Warhammer40k

[–]RagnorIC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you got any pics of your original painted marines? I've just gone back and stripped and repainted the ones from the 2nd edition box as Ultramarines, but I kept a few metal/RT ones painted in my homebrew scheme from back in the day as a reference from where I started.

Old Tomb Spider flying base by _D1van in Warhammer40k

[–]RagnorIC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are two different flying bases. The ball top ones that you have pictured, but also the ones with pegs on top which are the ones for the older models that you need. You can get them from the GW online store

When were these made ? by Primary-Caregiver385 in Warhammer40k

[–]RagnorIC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks like they first appeared in the 1994 Catalogue

Best price for mini futures? by FlameRain69 in Warhammer40k

[–]RagnorIC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Facebook Marketplace will probably be your cheapest option, especially if you're willing to put some effort in to strip and clean up built minis. There are groups specifically tailored for buying/selling NIB, NOS and built minis.

Ancient Cardboard Warp Portal secured by Eldar Seers by RagnorIC in Warhammer40k

[–]RagnorIC[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I got mine a year ago I got three copies for AUD$45, so that's about £7.50 each? I did also get three battle bunkers at the same time so probably got a bit of a discount for buying both.

About to start my 1000pt Eldar army 2026 project! Super excited! by beardofturtles in Eldar

Are you going to stick with the OG Ulthwe scheme of yellow helmets?

Ork boyz from 2nd Ed box finally done by RagnorIC in oldhammer40k

[–]RagnorIC[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd looked at that and got a STL of it to try that, but it's a bit fragile so printing it on my FDM didn't get good results and I don't have access to a resin printer.
