    Zombicide Season1 & Rue Morgue ... questions ... (too easy, cheesy characters, etc.)

    Zombicide Season1 & Rue Morgue ... questions ... (too easy, cheesy characters, etc.) Hey guys, I bought Rue Morgue a while ago and have a lot of fun with it but even though we're all beginner players, we have no yet lost a single game. In fact, it's rare one of our survivors even gets wounded...

    Please recommend company that makes non-cartoonish orc miniatures...

    Hello, I'm looking for a company that makes orc miniatures that are not over-the-top cartoonish (i.e. gorilla-stance, huge fists, weapons, jaws and "tusks"). I realise I'm quite alone in this preference, but I like the Games Workshop LOTR Orcs & Goblins more than any others that I have seen...

    First model in years ... Battle Pilgrim step-by-step. Advice appreciated.

    Hello, First post and first model for a few years. My goal on this one is to score higher than a 7.5 on CMON. I\'m hoping to get some advice (from painters who do paint to a 8+ standard) as I go a long, and maybe I\'ll be able to give a few tips for some beginners... (?) First off, I\'m going...

    GW colour - Kommando Khaki - love it!

    I just love this colour for a whole variety of things. Unhappy with the last white I painted on a mini, I decided this time to shade with Kommando Khaki and see how it turned out. I really like the results! To me it looks much better than shading white with greys or blues. Will upload the mini...

    Help with painting bones and tusks...

    Can someone please point me in the right direction here? I\'m trying to paint that cool \"streaked\" effect on some armour spikes to make them look like bones, but I\'m not quite getting it right. Is there some special trick here? They way I\'ve been doing it is blending a light brown at the...

    Anyone know where I can view Kevin Dallimore\'s painting guides?

    I\'ve been searching for them everywhere. There\'s lots of references to them being on the foundry website and on his own website, but I can\'t find them on either (his general painting guide that is, not his colour guides to various models). It looks like Foundry may have taken down the links...

    SE-NMM technique with metallic paint...

    Anyone ever tried this? If so, are there are any examples anywhere? I\'m not just talking about highlighting metallic paint either, I mean SE-NMM with the horizon line and all that.

    Agh! Acrylic retarder seems impossible to use!

    I\'ve been experimenting with this stuff (bought from an art store) for the last few days and so far it seems like just a big waste of money. The things is, once I\'ve put the retarder in the paint I can paint it onto the mini perfectly smoothly. But as soon as that paint comes into contact...

    What brush sizes do you use?

    I\'ve heard it said by some people that they do the vast majority of their painting with a Citadel \"standard\" brush. This just sounds ridiculous to me (although I have never seen their models, they maybe crap, these people at-least SOUND like they know what they\'re talking about). I have a...

    GW Citadel Brushes

    I\'ve always used \"cheap\" no-name brushes that I get at various hobby stores, usually a selection between 000 and 2. They have light brown, almost yellow coloured bristles and I have always found them good apart from their tendancy to curl a little on the tip. The other day I thought I\'d...

    Finish is grainy and \"chalky\" :-(

    Guys, the help I got from my thread about washes was awesome. Hopefully someone can help me with this problem too. The finish I get on my mins is often grainy and chalky looking. Browsing through the galleries here, most of the minis look silky smooth. How is this achieved? My undercoat is...

    Need Help with Washes

    Hi, I have real trouble with washes. I can get semi-decent (read \"not totally crap\") results when washing stuff with deep grooves like beards and hair, but everything else just turns out a mess. When I wash something it usually looks how I want it while the paint/ink is wet, but by the time...
