I really like your green tone. Looks great.

Cool! I just got my first Warmachine starter box, and I'm very excited about playing. I'm starting Cygnar, and I hope to have some pics of them painted soon. Good to know if I run into some snags...

I'd love to see some of your minis.

23K eldar? I thought 4K in skaven was bad... then again, it's probably about the same amount of models :)

My sister lived just outside Medford for about 20 years - does that count? :)

Depends on your goal I think. If painting for Golden Demon, then you probably want to paint separately because every bit of the model will be gone over with a microscope, if you're painting for an...

Hi Bob!

You sound almost as bad as me. I have skaven, wood elves, tau, orks, and dozens of one-off models just because they're cool and I want to paint them. On my paint station right now are...

Hi,
Washes do dry to a matte finish like paints. Basically they shade like inks but dry like paints, where inks dry to a gloss finish. If you want a shiny finish you'll need a varnish or a coat of...

I've found for large surfaces (when we had to strip all 6 panels of the Citadel gaming table, for example) or a lot of models a nail brush works well. Usually has a little handle you can slip over...

Another nice trick related to washes - if you can't find the color of wash you want pre-mixed you can get Golden Acrylic Medium (matte finish) from an art supply store (I use www.dickblick.com) and...

Here's a closer view of the commander, and one of just the turret from the other side.

This is a Kroot warrior I painted, thought it was a cool model and wanted to experiment with a naturalistic color scheme.

Happy Dance!!! It worked!

And Rafe, it's far from my first model, believe me, my first models did not look like this. It's just my first 40K vehicle. I've been painting for about 5 years, mostly...

Ok, trying for the rear quarter view, and thanks again for the advice on posting! Hope this works!

Thank you, you are awesome!

Yes, my husband has an Imperial Guard army that is themed as a genestealer cult. I'd never worked on a 40K vehicle and we had an old-style Leman Russ kit lying about,...

That would be my concern with the price hike on the intro set. I would think it would be a good business plan to get the intro set as inexpensive as possible to get people involved. Obviously we...

I completely love the idea and background of the Catachans, I just don't like the current models. By the time I finish my Orks that problem will hopefully be resolved, if not, well, I just may have...

Another fan of the rats perhaps? I ran a Clan Pestilens list until the new codex, working on rewriting my skaven now.

So it is what it says, my first tank. The color scheme was done to match an existing army, detail work is my idea.

Also my first attempt...

There's a GW store next to the movie theater near here, and we'd walk past it every time we went to the movies. My then-boyfriend (now husband) had played when he was in middle school, and I had...

Awesome work, and your weathering on the cog is amazing. Keep up the great work, can't wait to see further additions!

Sounds familiar... I like to play but I love to paint. Nice to know I'm not the only one out here. :)

Hi,

Blue to purple is one of my favorite combinations to work. I basecoat with midnight blue (I know it's discontinued, but if you have a pot about it's amazing) because it has a purplish tinge...

So I'm a girl gamer. In our group of friends I'm the only wife/girlfriend who plays, and I don't play in tournaments. I play skaven (if you didn't guess) and orks. I do see some of our friends...

Hi,
New to BoLS, I've been playing fantasy for about 4 years (skaven - shocking, I know!) and I'm working on my first 40K army now (orks, I do like the hordes!). I'm a mediocre fantasy player, and...
