Hi all!

Does anyone know any good suppliers of clear plastic round 25mm+ bases for miniatures in the EU? I'm looking to base zombicide zombies on them.

I know there is Litko, but i can only...

Ok so slow progress with real life getting in the way. On these ones the red is complete, the rest is still WIP.. i think some progress on the red, but not happy with the feel of the mid tone of...

My god, the speed at which you pump out work of such quality is awe inspiring.... great work on perturabo!

Ill work on the contrast / base / photography and post update later.

I edited this comment to put in...

Hey all,

I stopped painting 7 years ago, starting again this month and i set myself a couple of goals that i would like to log the quest for here!

-Get good tabletop+ standard aiming on...

I managed to get a smoother finish by shaking for more minutes, keeping the can in warm water first for about 1 min and even shorter bursts of coats.

So think this one can be chalked up to me...

Hey all,


I've been away from the hobby for a number of years but recently getting back into the swing of things. I picked up Vallejo aerosol black surface primer and I think its not coming out...

Thats a mighty fine beard! great job.

ok... i cant resist it anymore.. doesnt the demon bust look like George Bush!?

lol

He\'s looking good so far, I would try and shade the white a little more as the front part looks a little flat (arm looks good though)

I like the gold too :)

I dont think that was a slapdown groffus, you could take it that he didnt know what to say becasue he couldnt find any faults....

It wasnt worded harshly :) chill :drunk:

Hi,

I was bought the mines of moria starter pack for my birthday and i was wondering if the game was any good?

Hi all,

My question is, can anyone reccomend a good cabinet? I live in teh UK...

Hi ,

First off welcome to the forums mate :)

The freehand skull is great,...

Hey,

if you right click on the red boxes, then choose properties, copy the link manually from there and paste it in to your address bar. It works that way.
