So a little background: I buy minis for roleplaying. I would say 90%+ of my collection (6-700 range) is from Reaper. I have stayed away from Games Workshop minis because the odd time I looked at them, my jaw dropped at the prices. The last time I perused a store that sold GW product was about...

I\'ve had okay experiences with spraying primer, and also pretty crummy ones. I\'ve recently started brushing primer on, to much better effects. So I\'d like to pose the question: Do YOU use a spray can, or do you brush your primer on? FYI I\'ve used GW\'s spray primer, and Vallejo\'s primer...

<p>I just started working on the Reaper miniature Maralise Moonscythe, as a new druid character for my current D&amp;D game. I wish there was a little guidance (i.e. some other people had painted her already so I could copy their ideas) as to patterns on her. She's incredibly detailed, and I...

So, in addition to that question, is there a comprehensive glossary of terms somewhere here on the site that I have missed...

I\'m having some issues with washing. I\'m cutting some corners by just thinning paint down (is this a huge faux pas?). I\'m finding that the washes are coming out horrible and the paint is tending to stick to the high areas, and bubbles form in the crevices and when it dries, they\'re as light...

Hi there, new to the site, enjoying what I see so far, and of course I\'m bursting with questions.... so if no one minds, I\'ll rattle a few off (with some comments) and feel free to answer if you wish. 1) Is there a forum or another site where you can get your miniature identified? I haven\'t...
