I have been fascinated by Warhammer since I discovered it as a teenager. But before I moved to Europe, it was never an option. Nowadays, though, it has become much more available and accessible. I think they even sold introductory sets in newspaper kiosks at one point. So I finally decided to give it a try.
What I wanted to paint were T’au from Warhammer 40K, but I decided to practice on a starter set first. Since I didn’t want to paint Space Marines vs. Tyranids, I went with Age of Sigmar’s Stormcast vs. Skaven.
What can I say… the miniatures are small. I’m glad I had my laser surgery last year, and I’m not even joking.
I haven’t held a paintbrush since I was 9, so that’s another challenge. And the paintbrush that comes with them is indeed shitty. So I ended up buying a set of artistic brushes as well. Not sable, as a single sable brush costs an entire set.
I’m glad I bought a painting handle. Very useful for finishing touches. And I’m sorry that I laughted at the water pot initially. Now I can’t find it anywhere.
