Warhammer 40,000
Warhammer 40,000 or simply Warhammer 40K is a miniature-based tabletop game. It involves building and painting your own miniature army and pit them against others' on a dioramic 6x4 or 4x4 feet table using a standardized set of game rules. Miniature armies come in various factions, from Imperial commandos to space-faring orks, each with its own background stories (what 40K players call "fluff") and combat units.

My army, a sub-faction of the Adeptus Astartes or the Space Marines, is of the so-called Dark Angels Chapter - one of thousands of regiments of bio-enhanced supersoldiers created by the Emperor of Man to impose his will throughout the grim universe of the 41st millennium.

Dark Angels of the Adeptus Astartes
The Dark Angels Chapter is first among legions of Space Marines bred by the Emperor from his own genetic imprints. Enhanced physiologically for combat operations, they are literally Angels of Death in the battlefield, sowing fear to anyone who dared oppose their mandate. Their homeworld, Caliban - now reduced to a barren asteroid after an epic battle against their traitorous Brothers - holds the Chapter's mobile fortress-monastery called the Tower of Angels. Here, deep within the labyrinthine pathways to the underground caverns, lies the key to their monastic nature. The Dark Angels hides a millenia-long secret that compromised their honor. It is with this reason that they and their Successor Chapters are called the Unforgiven.

Tamiya Weathering Master

Bought a Tamiya Weathering Master Set A and B last Sunday and I say TWO BIG THUMBS UP to the kit!

It's pretty much like a girl's kikay blush-on kit complete with the brush and the sponge tip but it works wonders, believe me! For "premature-skilled" noob modellers like me and those who have no time at hand to give their figs a nice weathering touch, then this thing is a must-have.

Check out this link for a first-hand look: http://tamiya.com/english/products/87080weathering/index.htm

The brush tip is not working on me though. Maybe, it was meant for light weathering because actual results using the brush tip is not that discernible. Now, the sponge tip is perfect. Whether it is for infantry figs, tanks, or even bases, the result is always a thing of beauty. Weathering is now a store away from modellers who have been perfecting the technique for a long time.

Especially on me who sucks big time on drybrushing!
