post picsHeading to Dayton OH for a Kings of War tournament. First tournament for KoW for me so I'll more than likely get my teeth kicked in. Should be fun though
Valejo has some really good box sets of paint for things like metal, skin, white, leather etc that also come with instructions that are decent. Agree about the winsor I have them in 0, 00, and 000 anything bigger I use gw or army painter brushes.That's what surface prep, primer and lacquer top coats are for.
P3 is alright I would agree with their primers, I love most Vallejo lines (I would highly recommend vallejo if you airbrush, they thin very well and are easy to work with) and even some GW paints are great quality. Unfortunately I think they killed the inks but the metallics are really the best out there, the washes are great and the basecoat ones have good coverage for details, specifically going light over dark colors with less coats.
Brush wise I like the Winsor Newtons, but I would only drop the cash for a series 7 brush in the smallest sizes for detail work, they are just overengineered for the other stuff IMO.
There's always been an issue of Store A having, for example, poor 40K sales/participation while Store B has the opposite, and people draw their conclusions accordingly. I don't think that it's arguable that 40K has died off inSOMEFLGS, clearly it has, but the community still can't agree on how much weight to give it.My FLGS has more 40k players then ever and not a single person plays KoW. Though if the store owner can be bullied in to changing tournaments like that it sounds like an issue with the owner. One of the keys to increasing your tournament attendance is consistently having your events and consistently putting out the prizes no matter how many people show.
Da fuq? How was the owner bullied?...if the store owner can be bullied in to changing tournaments like that it sounds like an issue with the owner.
This is only true if the area has enough people looking to actively participate on a regular basis in the first place. 3 people showing up for a 40K tournament? Maybe at some point in the future there will be a 40K resurgence there (it's probably inevitable) but you have no idea if pushing however many hypothetical 40K events would bear fruit in that location or not. Given the disparity between game popularity at different stores even within the same city right now, I'm not sure how you could make this declaration across the board. It's never been an absolute...otherwise the store I ran would have had much better results with things like the Shadowrun and 7th Sea CCGs or the old GW Specialist games. We putSOmuch effort forward on stuff like this without any guaranteed return that this argument just makes me SMFHOne of the keys to increasing your tournament attendance is consistently having your events and consistently putting out the prizes no matter how many people show.
