Hi guys So today I had my first RPG session with minis introduced to the mix. Sadly the players minis were only at the undercoated stage. I discovered after the game that one mini had lost the undercoat from pretty much every corner and raised surface that the fidgety player could get hold...

Hey gang So after a recent RPG session involving a few run-ins with skeletons underground, I got to wondering why I should be painting skellies as though they were strolling downtown at midday. What they really should look like is as though they are approaching out of the gloom and nearing the...

Hey mini gurus My mate is about to kick off an RPG campaign with strong Ancient Greek and Roman influences. Not sure yet if further east or south will come in to play (I'll push for it just for colour). I've spent ages poring over the Wargames Foundry line (gee a bit there!) and I'm not...

Seems like these are designed for airbrush use and are brand new. Has anyone had a chance to use them yet? I've seen them mentioned one place only: http://blog.spikeybits.com/2013/01/the-next-big-thing-in-miniature-painting.html The article has a link through to their store. US$3.19 for more...

Okay so after a decade+ of futile endeavour it's time to start asking questions. I've always been a fan of the paint job used on the original Space Wolf box sets and even more so of Kim Sybergs technique, as seen in WD185; below. Essentially it's strong black-lining with the armour quickly and...

Have people been having trouble thinning the base paints with water? I was using Khorne Red today thinned about 3:2 water:paint (best guess) and after performing well for half a dozen models being batch painted it started to act like overly thinned paint on a gloss surface. Can't figure it out...

I was at the local model shop yesterday and noticed they had this: http://www.trademe.co.nz/Building-renovation/Tools/Airtools-compressors/Compressors/auction-406352179.htm Price at the store was 40%+ over this price so Mr Internet is looking good so far. I like the form factor. Buuut is it...

Does anyone have experience with either of Nikon L120 or Canon G12 for mini photography? There is a netbook worth of price difference so if the L120 (1cm macro) is up to the job then we're winning Edit: Oh yeah the sole purpose of the camera is shooting minis. The interweb says

So I wanted to try something new and underpaint with a very light blue/grey before laying silver over it. I was hoping that in underpainting/basing in this way well that there would be some result but the metal appears to be completely opaque as it really had no effect. The colour remains...

With the armour finished on a test model I'm starting to freak out about how to varish the model whilst retaining the cool properties of metallic paint. I'm worried a simple coat of gloss will make quite a big change and waste most of the effort of 2 dozen glazes. Because it will hopefully...

Hey guys Sorting my paints and getting annoyed at the double ups and not easily knowing what I want/need to buy next. The GW website has a pdf of current range but they forgot the linky... So far I have a paint list for Coat d\'arms, Rackham, and the old old GW range (the one with Liche...

I\'m having tremendous difficulty getting my washing to come out right. A couple of kindly volunteers have stepped forward to be experimented upon. Trying for a metallic result in the brass region with tonal contrast provided by the black under-wash. Exhibit A (after black wash): Exhibit B...

Okay \'definitive\' may be a bit of a stretch but we\'ll see how this goes... I have foresworn all spray so need to identify and stock up on top quality replacements (can\'t be arsed with toxins, ventilation/outdoors, weather conditions, price). A long time ago I heard great things about Folk...
