| My mum has banned me from buying anymore warhammer until i paint all of my 2500point 40k ork army and my two warbands and the random modelks i got cause i wanted to paint something, i actualy cant believe it... because im still only a little gretchen in the big world, i cant drive... theres also not a bus near taking me into town. so, i better start painting soon before christmas... or santa wont come see me with his jolly'ness and all my pressies And that leads me on to my question, i dont know what to get in the way of warhammer for christmas... theres nothing else i want so im a bit stummped. ive already got a large 40k ork army, highly doubt i'd do fantasy since i have no-body to play with, highly silike Lotr and dont know any other mordheim bands to play, ive got pirates and skaven, and my grandads got Loads... so, im officialy stummped. on the plus side, i need to practice my painting. | |

| This could be a blessing in disguise my friend. Now... to help you out a bit here. Organize! For the troops, take one troop at a time. One colour at time. So first paint all their skin, then the next colour on all of them and so forth. And when you have a squad/troop ready, you can make a transport, HQ, dread, Special choice and give that some extra care. Actually ofcourse first of all...find a colour scheme and theme to the army. | |

| HEY, Amigo! NOW that you're going to have ALL those UBERCOOL painted up Orks, maybe you should get the Jolly Old Fat Man to bring you an equally UBERCOOL army transport case for Christmas to haul the Lads around in. HAVE FUN PAINTING! | |

| Well done already! Now when you have done a squad, reward yourself with a single more eye catching model. As a transport, HQ or something like that. Remember the base. A model will only forst look completed when the base have been done. And you know offcourse...we demand pictures! | |

| Save the more complicated & elite stuff for last...they'll PROBABLY be the best minis you paint in the batch with ALL that practice you're going to get. AND DO pick out something COOL to paint between squads. Posting photos of you WORKS of WONDER is a GREAT way to get some motivation...you'll get a LOT of kind words & some practical advice. SO... GO GET 'EM! | |
