This was the first time i went to Gameforge and I must say that i'm very impressed with their establishment. Nice, clean environment, good stocks, reasonable prices. Was so so tempted to get stuffs for the new army but sensibility and logic prevailed plus the fact that i'd just dished out on a new battlefleet list the previous week. That's me in the green shirt thinking that i should buy the whole range of citadel paints.
I did buy 2 copies of the White Dwarf and a citadel fine brush before i left though.
The Gameforge guys were just amazing. Friendly and helpful, they made us feel comfortable from the moment we arrived. That's what customer service is all about. Esp after a four hours drive from Shah Alam and driving around Penang looking for the place. Well done guys!!!
I played 3 games. Lost the first to a space wolf patrol. Won the next against the tyranids then won my final game against the chaos mon-keigh. All my opponents were from Penang and each was a delight to play against. Its nice to know that Penang has a nice ready group of players. I'm told they used the 4th ed style of scoring so in the end i didn't know where i stood in standings. Not important since it definitely was not top 3.For my efforts i got a cool certificate from Gameforge.
Arzmi though was in the running for top honors until his Orcs met Peter's chaos mon-keighs. He lost and ended up in 3rd placing. With his prize winnings he bought the new Battle Mission book and much to my surprise gave it to me :) What can i can, brotherly love. I got your back, Bro!!!
A very big thank you to all the guys at Gameforge for organizing this tournament. It was fun and i'll try to come again with my 1750 saim-hann list soon. - excuse to buy models-All in, it was a very nice road trip and i thoroughly enjoyed the company of Iqbal(my co-driver), Jeff(official humor guy) and Arzmi(who slept most of the time). Laughter was aplenty esp when you had a mat salleh along who knew the local lay. Didn't know we had cannibals in Malaysia till Jeff pointed it out. You learn something new everyday.
It was super FUN!!!

ReplyDeleteNice report, dude. ;)
lol .. any more pics?
ReplyDeleteHi Khairul. Chi Yuen here. The space wolves dude from Game Forge u played in round 1. Really like your paint work. Really great! Btw, are you using a single action or a dual action air brush? Thinking of buying one. Any recommendations? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHey Chi Yuen. Thanks for dropping in to have a look at my blog and also commenting. Really appreciate it.
ReplyDeleteAlso glad you liked my saim-hann paint job. Really easy to achieve using an airbrush.
I use a double action Sparmax DH-103 airbrush which i got from Venus Art around 4-5 years ago. Cost me around $250 then. An airbrush can last really long if you take care of it.
Venus also sells a mini compressor which is quite affordable and will also last. I think its selling for around $500 at the moment. Good deal because it also comes with an air trap and pressure regulator.
Check them out.

Hope this helps.Thanks again for dropping in.
Chi Yuen, get a double action airbrush. Will be a bit more expensive but worth the investment as you have more control and will soon be able to make intricate designs freehand.
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand, i don't think you can even get a single action brush now days...outdated me thinks.
Even if you do, get a double action.
Hi Khairul, great write up on the tourney! (I'm the GF guy on the left in the last pic) Great meeting up with you and the rest of the Legio gang and hope you visit us again some time!
ReplyDelete*Digs up the scoresheet* Btw, you came in a very respectable 5th...
Hi Aik :)
ReplyDeleteIt was great meeting up with you guys too. You're an awesome bunch and will definitely develop the gaming community there.
I won't be alone in saying that you have the best hobby shop in Malaysia that i've been to. Keep up the good work. I will make a trip there again.
Come down and check out Legio if any of you guys are here. Best if you could join one of our events or tournaments.
5th!!! Not bad. Thanks again Aik. Regards to all the GF guys there.
Thanks for pointing me at the right direction. I will check them out.

Hi Khairul. I manage to checkout a few airbrushes and have more or less made up my mind. I just wanted to confirm is it normal for compressors to come without warranty and whether I should go for a 0.2 or 0.3 size. Thanks in advance.
ReplyDeleteRegards,
Chi Yuen
Chi, usually arts store will give at least 6 months warranty. But if you manage to find a sparmax mini compressor then it should be ok.
ReplyDeleteGet the 0.2. Not much difference actually but you will be able to produce a bigger spray area if you need to. You can still control your airflow and make small details.
Noted. Thanks alot!
