Is it just me of something wrong with the pictures in this announcement on the main page? It is either size of resolution or both

Well, I will not be there. I don't have much to show as most of stuff I've been painting this year is not made by GW. There are other more interesting alternatives around this time too so I pass this...

No it doesn't, or at least it didn't before. Rating change is not instantaneous. I suspect it is a separate script that screen for new minies periodically

Not really. I think it is the way script set up at the moment. To deal with the backlog of unvoted miniatures it selects those that are oldest date, closest to 50 and show them first as your "random"...

Also, check Copplestone Castings. They have many different "cavemen/women"

I would second that. This particular green really doesn't go well with this deep yellow. Almost any other color would work. Posing is great, you can almost feel the recoil

Reaper used to make "Neanderthals". Some of them are out of production but if you go to e-bay and search for Reaper Neanderthal you will find some. I just look there were 4 available.

Funny that pieces like this keep reappearing. I am wondering, whether people write things like this because they simply cannot produce anything more interesting and original or there is some other...
