year old son to play warhammer.
He beat me with Dwarfs against my Orcs. He shot me up good and all my stuff
ran off the table. Stupid orcs.

Well done.

likes Orks and likes to sing an Orky song. Zug, zug, zug. Zuggety zug

Actually, the first lot (AoBR) are being painted in secret for the wife,
to see if she'll at least try a game. It's either the most or least
romantic thing I've ever done.

He does really well. He's be playing Age of Empires/Age of Mythology and
other RTS on PC since he was five. We've played the Basic D&D set since Xmas
last year too. So this has been the next step along the way. He does have to
trust me when I tell him stuff like he hits on fours and wounds on fives...

That's exactly what I was thinking when I started the Greenies 7 years

Don't tell me - they're not finished yet, right?
MoonsOfJupiter
Of course not. I've only just started painting them. I get in about 3 hours
a week of painting time. I should be finished in 2020 or so.
Then its on to the Wood Elves :o)

This is the first one I did like 8 years ago, whenever 6th ed was first
released -- It was for a painting comp at the GW store to win a boxed set of
the new release of 6th Ed. I placed 4th out of 44. Got a WH40K keychain for
it.

Yes, I've been giving some thought to the bases -- Maybe its tme for
something other than Goblin Green and a flock dip.
Gravel and static grass -- basing tips anyone?

Glue the sand down then when dry, wash the sand with a weak PVA solution
to seal it in. Brown basecoat, deneb stone drybrush. Mud wash, or sepia
if you want it lighter. Scorched grass. Nice.
MoonsOfJupiter
Thanks. Do you cover the whole base with sand, or do you leave a space where
you're going to attach the grass?

I sand the whole top of the base, as I don't really plan where I'm going
to put the grass - I just put it where I feel like it. I usually do the
sanding before priming too, but I have based after painting. Once you
put the glue on the top of the base, dip the model into the sand and
twist it back and forth to get the sand all over, then leave it to dry
before sealing it.
Don't waste Calthan Brown on the bases - I went to the craft store and
bought a large tube of brown acrylic paint which was close to Calthan
Brown and used that. I do paint Calthan around the edge of the base
though, once the grass has been put on.

Took my son to the local GW store for his first game:
http://www.moonsofjupiter.com/rgmw/Sedge-Playing-GW-Store.jpg
Our Dwarfs against 13 year-old Jason and his woodies. Played 2.5 turns until
the store closed -- ended with a draw in a 2250 point pitched battle.
Should have played at 1000 points as he got a little bored after an hour or
so.
We left with his first regiment of his new Chaos Warriors army (He bought it
with his allowance):
http://www.moonsofjupiter.com/rgmw/CK-step1.JPG
I built them up, but made him do the base coat. (Years from now I'm sure
he'll be bitching about the crap job I did not filing off the mold lines.)

MoonsOfJupiter
After one evening of reading the army book here's what I think we should get
(also based on what models he likes):
1000 Pts - Warriors of Chaos Roster
Exalted Hero (General; Shield; Chaos Steed; Chaos Runesword Sword)
Rides with:
5 Chaos Knights (Champ; Standard Bearer; Lance)
6 Marauder Horsemen (Musician; Spear; Light Armour)
18 Chaos Warriors (Champ; Musician; Standard Bearer; Great Weapon)
8 Chaos Warhounds (Poisoned Attacks)
1 Chaos Spawn of Khorne (Mark of Khorne)

Christ...@web.de
difficult at best. 18 Chaos warriors seem like a big point sink in an
otherwise mobile army to me (I'd probably drop the spawn and the
warriors and get two units of marauders as the armies core). You have
no magic defense or missile attacks, so you need to attack. Warhounds
and Marauder Horsemen are very easily broken by missiles but can be
ignored as they are not very powerful in close combat either. The only
unit that is a problem for the average opponent are the knights. So
how do you want to play this army? Screening the knights with the dogs
and the horsemen? Try to have at least one more dog, so that the
opponent needs to kill one more before they have to do a break test.
Otoh it's a nice force and with 500 more points and another (larger)
unit of knights (and probably a mage) it might start to work.

So we crack open the piggy bank and head down to Game Parlor in Woodbridge,
Va. and come home with...
the Dark Elf batallion box.
