My name is Ossie and I've been collecting, painting and playing games with miniatures on and off since the late 80s. These days it's very much more on than off. I can't resist trying new games and new ranges of miniatures. My enduring passion is the Middle-earth Strategy Battle Game which I've been collecting and painting for 20 years now. I'm using this channel to share the projects me and my friends are undertaking and to just enthuse about this daft hobby.

I plan painting and converting videos, battle reports, unboxing videos, roundtable discussions, terrain bulding videos, podcast type chats and general gaming hype. Love the hype. I hope to cover everything from the big Warhammer games, Marvel Crisis Protocol, Star Wars games, Necromunda and Blood Bowl right down to small board games and the games I play with my kids. If they've got miniatures then I'm interested. You can never have too many minis.

I got this box a few days ago, will the brood brothers upgrade sprue release on its own at some point? Or will I have to recast it to make more of these heads.
@toomanyminis.
@toomanyminis. Месяц назад
My guess is it won’t be available on its own. It will just be in the KT box. Because it’s very specifically for making these specialists. The old upgrade frame is still on the shop but temporarily out of stock. I think for heads the best source is just the neophytes kit. It has a lot of spares.

@toomanyminis.
@toomanyminis. Месяц назад
@jame9277 the time varies. You’re right it would be great if they released it on its own. Normally the previous kill teams come out on their own around the time the next box comes out. So I’d expect the Nightmare ones soon.

I want to try Brood Brothers and probably the mobile detachment. I think I’ll buy a new combat patrol for the 2nd ridgerunner and jackal teams. I know they’re not considered very powerful detachments but they’ve got the most model appeal for me. Also the vanilla detachment is always open.

Hey I've been researching Tami toya panel liner and the results you're getting look great. That X-20A is an acrylic paint thinner so I don't think it would be compatible with the enamel formula of the panel liner, which explains why you're having troubles with it. Maybe you just held up the wrong bottle, the enamel thinner is X-20.
