Mantic: 40k on the cheap.

I've finally decided that GW is way too expensive for me, since I do like to maintain a fair few hobbies. Although they do make kickass models, so do other companies. And for a fraction of the price.

Yeap, I try to get models as cheap and good looking as possible. GW's prices are insane.

That'd make a pretty good Kan with some bitz and gubbinz on it to make it proper Orky-like.

Son of a cock. I just realised why the magnets in the hip connection on the titan were so weak - clued the magnet upside down.

Atleast now I know that nail polish remover also removes super glue.

But anyway, I've been considering taking up 40k, suggestions for painting? I hear a lot about thinning paints, but what exactly do you mean by that? I assume you mean put a few drops of the paint in water?

Essentially, just don't use globs of paint. You can do it any way you want, I prefer just to use tiny amounts at a time, some people dilute their paint, etc. Whatever floats your boat.
But for the love of god thin them.
EDIT: derpader i are the dum

So, I'm heading out to a local hobbyshop tomorrow that sells a bunch of W40K models and essentials, and I'm planning on buying my first set of stuff. What I want to know, is if buying a rulebook is worth the cost when I could just find one for free online. Is it helpful for quick reference? Is it easier to have one with you for every game? I know that getting into this hobby is going to be expensive, so I want to cut costs wherever I can so I can buy more models, tools, and paint.

You're going to need a rulebook one way or another, and it's best to have one with you
But I recommend either buying a starter kit with a rulebook or looking for one of the starter kit rulebooks on eBay
These are good for quick reference and I doubt you'd have much use for the giant hulking piece of text that is the normal rulebook for at least a few games

Well, I went. And I had much more fun than I thought I should have had.

The guy there was fantastic, and he threw in a free set of quality brushes and knocked $10 off of my final order just because he wanted an even number. I was informed of how to properly paint my new squad, and when local meetups were.

In total, I got:

    1 Tau Fire Warrior Team
    1 Tau Codex
    1 Set of Citadel Brushes
    1 Citadel Plastic Cutter
    1 Citadel Plastic Glue
    1 Pot of Ceramic White Paint
    1 Pot of Fire Dragon Bright Paint
    1 Pot of Abaddon Black Paint

Next week I'm going to head back for the Rulebook. For now, I have to read my new Codex, and assemble/paint my Fire Warriors.

Do you field those guys as necrons or imperials?
They're awesome either way though! Really tight conversions.

Well, time for an update on the actual Titan, assemblement is done and it can stand finally.

The color here looks more grey then pink it I swear it's light pale pink (Montana Gold G3100 Frozen Strawberry).
