Hi everyone, i am new War at Sea player. Today i obtained my first miniatures (starter set, new edition) and i am eager to play with some friends!
I have a few question about the game. First of all:what's the best way to expand my fleet? I found some booster packs but they are way too expensive (~100$, inital price was about 20, wasn't It?) and it's quite difficult to find single miniatures web vendors. I'd like to collet 2 150 pts fleets and maybe an extra fleet with Regia Marina in the future. Also, i live in Europe so i have to use internationaly shipped orders :s
Second question: What kind of paint could i use on my mini.s? Are games workshop's ones ok? Should i prime first? (Warhammer 40k player )
I hope that the thread is understandable, english isn't my first language. Thank for your patience and cya!
Yes, prime and then you can paint with any acrylic paint you like.
Ebay is still a good place to shop and on the marketplace here. Some guys are trying to sell whole collections if you know you want to complete the sets.
If you are looking at painting the large capitol (Rare) ships, I would recommend the Shapeways/3D option, as it is usually much cheaper to get these, then acquiring the original WAS pieces. It also maintains the value on the WAS piece. I have found that most repainted WAS ships are worth far less then if they had been left in their original state. If you are looking at modifying and painting the commons, such as destroyers and such, then it usually a toss up between the two options.
