If you want to google the Anarchy web store, they are taking pre orders that will ship after the Kickstarter orders are done and sent. I pledged and am looking forward to getting my hands on these.

Dark Ages and Scibor added to the brand listing. Will start to update the chart format once I have a bit of downtime.

Ah yes, Secret Weapon! How could I forget them :D I think they do have some of the larger base sizes, as you say, but I don't remember seeing the 50x75mm last I checked (chariots are 50x100mm by...

Hello all,

Sorry if this has been posted already, but there's so damn many basing companies around these days I can't keep track of them all. I'd appreciate some help identifying the different...

Never drybrush, Natalya? But I'm painting scenery :p

:pwp:

Sorry but it's much easier with pics :D

One of my cans was doing the same, sputtering and spraying out from under the nozzle a bit. It seemed partially clogged from the start. Luckily it wasn't affecting the models at all, so I was able to...

9644

Me and the "New York bitches" we met in the Dominican a few weeks ago. Those were good times.

Again, that's why I don't like to buy things on or near launch :D

Finding an excuse to get a bit more red or blue into the color scheme (or base) would have helped break up the color scheme a little bit, but overall it looks very grimy, as you said :D Nice work!

I highly recommend P3 paints and Windsor and Newton S7 brushes. Buying every color in a paint range is inherently wasteful; while you might use 40 paints on an army, you'll never use all ~70. And...

Unlike some of the previous editions of Fantasy, the current edition allows for simultaneous attacks from both sides. If both units have Always Strike First (ASF), Always Strike Last (ASL, most...

The man was extremely accomplished. That he rescued a floundering company in the 90's was impressive, that he turned it into the world's largest (or 2nd largest depending on the day) publicly traded...

P3 Trollblood Hilight is a very sweet color to use, it's sort of a bone/grey mixture. Trollblood with any dark brown mixed in for shades and any bone/khaki for hilighting would be sweet, methinks :)...

I give it a 13. 10/11/12 just wouldn't convey how awesome this is.

I really do want this... even if I never got around to painting it, it would look totally badass.

Meh, they charge less for the wizards than for a resin Cold One. I think these new minis are a fair deal. Making them in plastic but not making them multi-part plastic seems a bit random to me (at...

Do what makes you happy. Have fun. Experiment. Try something new but always go back to whatever you enjoy the most.

I've done this hobby for years. In the beginning I just copied the (mid-90's)...

Hey, congrats on the family :D I've got no excuse... single and lazy, lol.

I've always found that the first batch of a new release from GW is a little bit dodgy... once the big push to get a bunch on the shelves is over they are much more reliable.

Overall, I've been...

As my current job title is Writer/Editor, I often just shake my head. Reading the comments sections of news websites is a sick obsession of mine while I'm at work. On the bright side, when I see some...

Not too shabby :D Sadly, the one girl that hot who is into nerd/gaming culture is always attached to the goofiest looking chud imaginable. So depressing for us above average looking nerds lol :p

Gross vs. Net. Important difference, worth remembering :D

Spacehulk NIB with broken Genestealer? That doesn't make sense :p

I have a buddy that just put in a big order like 2 weeks ago, he's a little choked! However, he is considering ordering all the things he wanted to buy but didn't... so I can score some minis and not...

It's the fourth of July without the rednecks blowing themselves up with fireworks. We celebrate by watching the first day of NHL free agent signing and then party :D

Definitely do a test model. The first time I did this (to a friend's Land Raider Crusader) the results looked great... until the entire surface of the tank melted under the tap and I was left with a...

Just like pewter minis, 95% Finecast models are just fine. The odd one will need some cleanup, but the pics you see on the web are certainly the worst of the worst and don't represent the quality of...

Not interested in the game, but definitely a fan. The only UFC i've seen in person was the 115 show in Vancouver. The atmosphere was pretty intense, way moreso than I had expected. When Rory...

Most recent pic looks great. Seems to be the Goldilocks "just right" of the group, as far as contrast goes.

I don't know about you, but I tend to document my color schemes online in exacting detail so that nobody is ever allowed to copy it. It's like a patent, you need full disclosure if you want...

My advice is always to simply photograph minis under the same light you use to paint them :D

That bein said, I use fluorescent desk lamps with elbows from Ikea, with some kind of pure white or...

Simply fantastic effort. The clean vs. the weathered sides of the tank side by side really show you how much impact weathering has on making the mini look realistic. I absolutely love the vibrancy on...

Agreed, the yellow doesn't tie into the rest of the model very well. If you weathered it sufficiently and sucked the color out of it, then it could be made to work.

The rest looks really cool...

Victoria Lamb has some cool Slayers as well, lady Slayers in fact! I might have to pick some of those up as well if I decide to add a unit to my army.

Any idea when these things will actually be released? I kinda want them, but my interest goes down every week.

Marneus Calgar and the old plastic Terminator box from 2nd edition. Lol good times :D

So, the money I was expecting to get my hands on 2 months ago finally came in. Sadly not quite the amount I was hoping for either, but finally my stress and worry is over and I can start seriously...

Saw those Ebob ones when I first googled for horses... they do look respectable. Shame they're out of print or whatever. Still questing for that perfect option :) I'll let you know if I find any...

That horse is awesome :) I want to see this style done, have no idea what it's called tho for the poll :D Best wishes for the project and conquering the shakes! I know a few friends who have it too,...

Shame there's no Maiden Guard they are worth a freaking mint to most collectors :)

I was wondering how long it would take to switch from "the birthers" to "the deathers" controversy ;)

And how long it will take for them to show photos of the body and/or release any info on the...

Hopefully it's the final page of a particularly nasty chapter in world history. Obviously it won't be so neat and tidy, but clearly this guy had it coming and a lot of people will be breathing a sigh...

Hrm, most of these guys all seem to have a decent amount of barding on them, which presents a bit of a problem as I mostly want these guys for Chariots. Thanks for the help so far guys, I now have a...

Hrm, the Gamezone ones are pretty decent as Vampire Counts figs, still not much out there that looks good for Khemri.

Crocodile Games actually has a couple chariot horses from their Wargods of...

As the title suggests, I am trying to find a decent skeletal horse mini to replace the garbage plastic ones in the GW Khemri range. I will be needing at least a dozen so price does matter...

Does anybody know a manufacturer of jersey barriers fit for 40k scale? I can't find any. Thanks :)

It had its moments ... but overall it was forgettable. Called the plot twists long before they happened.

Soundtrack was excellent, however. Take the money you would have spent on the movie and buy...

Haha that's fantastic. Note to self: Make a few calls to FedEx etc. to see what they can offer small business.

Many thanks for the excellent replies! I have a lot of planning to but I really appreciate the valuable input here.

@Scott yeah Canada Post is terrible. I am hoping most of the orders would be...

Hello everybody,

I've got some ideas for launching a small online store, and I was wondering just how much it takes to set up and run one of these things. I have done a tiny bit of web design type...

My insurance agent recently asked me to make a list of all the minis I own and their estimated value. Oh dear god, I have no desire to do that. One of these days I'd better get around to it though....

Yeah I love my Iwata too :-) I got the Eclipse HP-CS and a SprintJet and have no complaints.

Yarp. Definitely not official GW/FW, but dripping with intellectual property.

Damn you are painting your Averlanders like 10x as fast as I am :D Granted, I've always been a slow painter and I'm working on a Dwarf army too ;) Keep up the good work.

I feel like I should add a little to my previous comment :) I think you could achieve some of the effect I mentioned earlier by painting the claws/teeth/etc. the same way instead of matching the...

A bit. They do have a lot in common though (the black, browns and metallics), which helps make it work. Personally I like to have at least as many "anchor" colors as I call them like black, grey,...

That depends entirely on how thin the wash is, and whether you are applying it all over or in successively thinner strips. We'd need pics to offer advice :)

Once the washes are done, the...

Sorry where did you get that Fire Wizard? I didn't see anything like it in that web store. Looks fantastic.

Looking great, I'm working on Averland right now too :) Yellow stops being fun after a while, I'm just warning you right now lol.

That's an interesting thought on the seal, NSA.

Anyway I am still torn about paint pot design. On the one hand, part of me is saying the flip top bolter shell design was my favorite. Yeah paints...

Mine went the other way this year, where I knew things were stalling out rapidly but the lady involved was getting more deeply into the relationship. In my typical fashion I hesitated just long...

Well, I'm sure if the OP sent an email to Micro Arts they would know :)

I don't recognize any of their other base lines though, so maybe it's possible that someone bought/sold the rights to that design? I dunno.

I haven't bought from them, but I did notice something strange on their website. Their Deep Forest bases are the old Micro Art Studio Forest bases, of which I have a few dozen in my Wood Elves army....

For the most part the sculpting is very good. I really like the pants, especially. The shoulder pads could use some work, though.

Good luck when GW's lawyers come knocking on your door. Don't say...

Interesting idea, like Mike I had a few hangups with the questions in some cases, but I'd be happy to offer my answers anyway. I was well on my way to a minor in Anthropology before I decided on a...

Chern was saying work starts on the Annual on Monday, so you might be able to get away with it if you can get a photo uploaded in the next 24 hours.

Thank you very much, DFB. I can resubmit the Warrior Priest that got touchups and snow added to the base, without shame or fear of repeating myself :D

I hear you with Insanity on ME2. My attempt didn't last too long, as I quickly got myself into trouble in one of the first missions I played. Picked the wrong teammate, split up to help Archangel...

Bit of a strange question, but could someone with the 2008 Annual please let me know which of my minis were included in it? I know a few made the cut, but I haven't ordered a copy yet (I really...

Agreed. Never did understand what the appeal was for this range of minis. Really big, awkward looking Space Marines with giant turbines on their backs... I'd just stick to Citadel thanks.

That drop pod should have an NSFW tag on there, it's positively crawling with vaginas ;)

Always love the updates, keep it up!! (That's what Slaanesh said)

Yeah I really like those old school rail guns ;)

If you have to prime anything with foam parts, you can glue-seal them a couple of times. Mix in a tiny bit of liquid soap to the mix, and it will not bead on the foam, so you'll get much better...

I can't really put my finger on any specific influences for the current Von Carstein designs. They are completely different from their predecessors.

The collar thingies on the dress have the serpentine curve to them, and the jewelry on her head will probably emphasize the snake theme more when it's done.

The flicker of fluorescent lamps can change when they warm up. One of my old lamps would have flicker for the first little bit once turned on, then it would go away.

I'm pretty sure it has to do with refresh rates/frequency of the lights. I lack the technical knowledge to properly explain what's going on though.

Back in the day before we had the wonders of LCD...

I also use the Citadel stuff, mixed with glue and a bit of water. When you hit the "happy spot" in the mixing, it looks very dry and disgusting, but when applied with a wet brush to the base it's...

Generally I don't thin paints to the 6:1 extreme you mention. I do a lot of layering and it's probably...

Here's hoping that the announcement is for GAMES DAY LAS VEGAS :D

Micro Art Studio has some too, also on the CMON store.

That looks like a conversion to replicate the old 2nd edition Sisters of Battle book cover. I've never seen a stock mini in that pose. I think that model's based off of one of the Seraphim with the 2...

I'm not totally familiar with the Rebel's system but yeah there should be a ton of white balance settings. You can either choose the automatic setting or simply match the settings to your light setup...

Would you mind taking a picture of your photo area including the lights etc? Lights make a huge difference. If your your area has bad lighting then it won't be casting the full spectrum of light onto...

I definitely have some of those models on your want list ... I'll have to do some digging and see exactly which ones. I know I probably have some of the Dwarfs and maybe 1-2 of the Chaos Champions....

I think the white stripes could have been a bit more solid (using too much salt is easy to do) but overall the thing is damn sexy. Easily one of the coolest 40k models I've seen in a long time :)

If you want it to be an earthy red, I'd say go with Sanguine Base and hilight with Skorne Red. Maybe a bit of Khador base as a final hilight on some bright spots. That should leave him nice and dark....

Happy birthday Mike! Here's to another year helping out countless mooks like us on the forums :beerwave: Have a good one, buddy.

Agreed, they look great, and some studio type photos would be even better :D

I actually think it\'s the opposite: the local stores around here are always swarmed with lots of young kids/teens with unpainted armies and the veterans are nowhere to be found.

In my opinion...

The old metal Wolf Guard / Sergeants (back when they had sergeants!) really are great figs. I\'m sure this one will fit in with the current range just fine. Powerfists have grown in size since then...
