I think we should put this on our bucket list: "Play Mordheim with Ragner". Beautiful stuff man!

Usually I paint after work a little time. Therefore, it takes a long time to create the atmosphere in the board game

It may be a drop at a time but it'll form a pond then lake and eventually an ocean of great minis.

Steady as she goes on my Heroquest 3D board. I try to do a bit when I finish work and put the kids to bed. That means progress can be very slow. Hopefully it will be worth it though.

So it begins. Finally treat myself to some paints. The Army Painter mega tool set. Might as well go all out and get a bit of everything to try out.

Thought I'd have a go at pinning this dragons wing back on to test out the lil hand drill.



I did have a laugh with the mini drill at first, the bits don't fit, the hole is too big. Then I realised you can spin the head round! to which they still didn't fit, hole too small now. it wasn't til many hours later I realised their was another head in the bass.

As for this Mega Set... One's better off buying the parts from Boyes or what ever local random store you have.

Complaints: The logo came of the Exacto knife straight away, the plastic handle looks cheap, not like the one on the box. It doesn't grip the blade tight enough either, no matter how much you tighten it up. The plastic glue was thick as gloop, takes days to come out. The Diamond file is longer than standard ones but less than half of it is the file. The paint seems a lil thin but apparently this is a good thing.

I've not tried the basing glue (PVA) and the pots of basing material are tiny, easily could of been more.

Spray seems ok but I've not used any others, same with the brushes. Snips and tweezers, pretty standard stuff, nothing fancy, nice logo on the snips, stays on, BONUS! Cutting Mat too. Is it worth the high price tag, no!

I went to Boyes and got myself a vellejo 8 paint starter set (I wanted to compare the paints) and bought some other tools. Pricing up I could of got better equivalents and the Vallejo paint set for half the price. A set of 5 diamond files, a pair of auto grip tweezer things, a much posher looking exacto knife (with extra blades) that works.

All this been said, If I hadn't of bought it, I'd of probably never tried out the other things, like pinning with the mini drill or the moddling putty that's just ruined my Genestealer Hybrid. Same with when I get round to various basing experiments. It's more of a sampler but still well over priced for the cheap (possibly cheapest available) tools it contains.
