A coworker bought a copy of Ghost Stories but it came with two red pieces instead of a green piece. The solution? Repaint! The game is a cooperative four player game in which you protect a village from ghosts drawn out of a deck. There are minis for 4 players, 8 ghosts and 2 buddhas, so this...

I\'ve started an account (hakomike kids) to post minis painted by my children and the children of the neighborhood who always want to come over and paint. Any encouragement or suggestions you could provide them would make their day. First off, we have an Ork, by Seth (age 5)...

I was playing around with PHP and wrote a little orky name generator. Here: http://people.emich.edu/jhowell/orkynames/ I know there are a ton of these that all use the same algorithm, so I decided to make mine callable as a service as well. All text but the name itself are suppressed if you...

I have a limited number Black Reach sets coming in on release weekend. PM me or email sales@minisrealm.com if you\'d like to get yours shipped on September 8. Details on the box set are at GW\'s site (LINK). Full box: $48 (8 available) Space Marine contents: $24.99 (6 available) (includes...

http://www.coolminiornot.com/197787 My duel entry in Chicago this year, which got an honorable mention. The marine chapter is a DIY that I did as a big commission job for a guy earlier in the year. I thought it would be a nice treat for him if I used his chapter in my entry, especially if it...

http://coolminiornot.com/197742 By entry in fantasy single in Chicago this year. I\'d love some feedback on this feller, since he didn\'t make first cut. Thanks!

A friend of mine posted this on her blog... any ideas? http://shouston.blogspot.com/2008/04/where...th-is-this.html

Given the options of \"firm\" or \"soft\" for colour shaper tips, can someone give me a comparative idea of just how firm or soft they are? (Maybe in relation to a normal pencil eraser?) I want to buy a \"mini set of 5\" from Blick Arts and I\'m not sure which type to get. (I can\'t...

Okay, my obsession lately has been for models holding open books, especially in combat poses. Something about a book in combat just kills me. I know of the Inquisitor and Canoness models with books, the new Commissar, some Skaven, and an Empire Wizard. Anyone have a favorite model with book...

I had won blister here and there all year at the GW store, so I decided to paint one up for eBay. Votification Linkitude I need to revisit the dullcote, because I\'m getting more and more shine on minis. It never looks bad until the photography...

Help! I have struggled and struggled for a name for my Goff warboss, and I always come up blank. So here he is, with his favorite attack squig! Any ideas? Once I have a name for him I\'ll make a proper entry.

I was just in my basement digging through old boxes and found a sprue with a single Space Marine dated 1993. This is fully 11 years before I started buying GW stuff. I also found a copy of the Blood Bowl PC game, but that wasn\'t where I found the old marine. Does anyone remember if Blood...

Old Stormboyz... $35 for a box of 8 = $4.375/model New Stormboyz... 1 box of Boyz @ $22 (10 models) 2 set of \"direct exclusive\" Stormboyz bits @ $15 (5 models each) $52 for 10 models = $5.20/model I wonder if this means plastic Stormboyz are on the way. The new method to make them just...

My mail order supplier has a ton of 40k battleforces and other gw/pp stuff that he\'s trying to sell in the next month or so. His eBay store is \"BUY SELL TRADE GAMES\" (but I never buy through the store, just through email/phone.) You can contact him at buyselltradegames@gmail.com or (734)...

One of these days I\'ll figure out how to take photographs. Until that day you shall be subjected to my horrible, washed out submissions! Behold! http://coolminiornot.com/174987 As the descriptions says, she started life as a D&D prepaint, and I decided to take a night and see what was there...
