I just wanted to say that despite my mean disposition, I love all my CMON people. My pug says hi too.

Anybody know where I can get some Kroot miniatures? I\'ve looked at the GW site, are they out of print?

It is my opinion that LOTR minis suck a lot. Their detail level is low, everyone paints them in super-drab colors (like brown and even more brown) and they cost too much. Sure, Rackham minis cost a bit too, but they are super-detailed and from France. So I guess they are a gourmet miniature...

I realize that nobody will ever be happy with the ranking system, but what is it with coddling the worst miniature painters? The truly shitty miniatures get a \"good effort, here\'s a 5-6 score\", while the fair to good miniatures get nitpicked down to the same level. That\'s why I gave up being...

I was just wondering if anyone else has thought of this - Those guys that make toys for Santa look a whole lot more like gnomes than elves. They are tiny, they dress poorly, and they like to build stuff. Sounds like gnomes to me. Maybe we could start a petition to have that changed.

What\'s up with all Rackham\'s female miniatures having such spindly little legs? Put a piece of armor over those big chests and the legs would snap like toothpicks. For a company that makes such awesome monsters, their female miniatures kinda suck.

Anyone else notice how many half nekkid lady miniatures are up for auction? I wonder if these painters have to have real jobs, or if they make enough off sales to buy paint and cheetos.

Anyone have tips on getting the jewels to look like confrontation miniatures? I hadn\'t seen any like that until recently. It looks like the technique is relatively simple, just requiring practice, but are there any color combos etc.. that work well?

I can\'t help it. I\'m a trouble maker. I just have to stir up some opinions on various topics. Here\'s my controversial blurts for today: 1. I don\'t spend time on bases. I just slap the closest base on, paint it dark green and speckle it with some tan. The miniatures don\'t seem to care on...

Hey, I\'m kind of computer illiterate. How do I add the cool avatar to my posts? Have there been any discussions lately on photographing miniatures? Does anyone post pics that aren\'t auctions or contest material?

Hello there. It\'s nice to see a mini community. I\'ve been painting since the only company worth buying from was Ral Partha. There are so many good miniatures now that I can hardly believe it. We didn\'t even have spray primer back in the day. Actually, I don\'t use spray primer now. It sucks...
