[Paint] Decals?

[Guest]

Archived from groups: rec.games.miniatures.warhammer (More info?)

So I'm painting my Grey Knights. Doing pretty well, I think, for my first
time. Managing to make some up on the fly to give them my own touch, very
satisfied.

So anyway I read the codex about personal heraldry and how it mentions you
can use GW's included decals for skulls and swords and others to help out in
the small details like that. Groovy.

Except, of course, that GW doesn't make any such decal sheet. I even
snagged myself a copy of the 1100 page reference catalogue, the decal sheets
listed in the back have none of the decals shown.

Lucky for me I'm pretty handy with Illustrator and the like, I have no
qualms making my own decals. I just need to find some sort of vendor who
can take my work in gif or pdf or something and turn it into a water
slipsheet decal for me. Anyone know any such supplier? Or am I getting my
hopes up for nothing?

Thanks much

That supplier is you...go to your local hobby store, or look online for
decal paper for your type of printer. Hell, if you google this newsgroup
there's been quite a bit of info about doing your own decals put out.

Google Justin Taylor. He's a complete wanker but it's the business he's
in. He reads RGMH if you want to post there.
