@Farmer:The modelli...Thanks for the comments guys.<br /><br />@Farmer:The modelling and painting sections are great on most forums. They are a fantastic source of inspiration.<br /><br />@John:As I said I think you need to pick your forums and threads. There are gems in there but I do think the blogosphere is now moving into a "gap in the market".<br /><br />@Squeek: I probably should have qualified my comments more. I probably was talking more in terms of tournament play. I've found that "The Underempire" was great for modelling ideas - I got my Ratapult from there - and for general Skaven enthusiasm. <br /><br />You're right though it pays to be discerning. <br /><br />Now get your rats painted so we can see them on the table.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13835921145774599372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2342928539214422457.post-58442570015596187892010-11-06T16:33:55.894+13:002010-11-06T16:33:55.894+13:00Good post, but is it that things really WERE more ...Good post, but is it that things really WERE more helpful? Or is it that now you know a lot more than you did then etc. (the rose-tinted spectacles you mention)? <br />I'm not disagreeing with you, but I think that there are lots of things that contribute to this feeling - possibly including one's own age and experience!<br />:-)<br />I've been very happy with the UnderEmpire, but that may be because I tend to stick to the modelling and hobby side of the tunnels. I'm also a total WFB noob. I haven't yet managed a game of 8th myself (still painting up those Skaven) so can't comment on the validity of the advice (or not!)<br />I WAS lucky when I started playing 40K to quickly find Advanced Tau Tactica, which has really set a standard for me that has been tough to beat.<br />Anyway, I think like anything on the internet, you have to sift through a lot of stuff that you won't find useful to get to content that REALLY suits you. (Like the blogs that other posters here have mentioned.)Oddjobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05382544182623094584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2342928539214422457.post-44007808142165663372010-11-05T07:38:26.216+13:002010-11-05T07:38:26.216+13:00Couldnt agree more - I was a regular forum visitor...Couldnt agree more - I was a regular forum visitor from the moment I started WHFB 2 years ago but lost interest as rumours of 8th Ed started dominating discussions.<br /><br />Like you I find blogs much more informative and interesting to read and havent visited a WHFB forum in months now.Bloomfield Cricket Clubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17638828532075913255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2342928539214422457.post-836949540647369862010-11-03T12:08:10.710+13:002010-11-03T12:08:10.710+13:00Have to say I'm exactly the same!

Alot of it (for me at least) is my understanding and interests have moved above the Banshees Vs Scorpions debate, or fairly purile 'what's the emperor thinking' threads. I still go to forums if I want painting/modelling ideas, or occasional feedback on my painting tests.Farmer Geddonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08317142137061920849noreply@blogger.com
