Yep Anthony and I paint together occasionally. There\'s a lot of people in Phoenix who paint miniatures, just not very many registered on this site (yet).
I run free painting classes for a couple hours each Saturday at Game Depot, from about 4pm to 6pm. That\'s on the northwest corner of Southern Ave and McClintock in Tempe. If you\'re not sure where that its, it\'s a couple miles east of where the I-10 and US-60 highways meet.
There\'s also a new game store in Mesa, located just south of the US-60 on Greenfield, called Empire Games. All their staff used to work for GW and are extremely knowledgeable of the hobby. If you live in the east valley I\'d definitely recommend checking that place out. It\'s the cleanest, best looking game store I have ever seen.
Feel free to PM me if you ever want to set something up.
