I have recently gotten back into the hobby and, much to my dismay, many of my old Citadel colors have dried out despite the fact that I stored them up-side-down. No matter, I was hoping to switch to Vallejo anyway. Unfortunately, I can't decided between Model Color and Game Color. The Vallejo...

I've recently gotten back into painting miniatures and I noticed that GW has discontinued their line on inks in favor of washes. I am aware that this is not a 1:1 replacement as the washes act differently than inks. Unfortunately, a lot of older GW articles reference inks in their painting...

Hello CMoN! I am thinking about getting back into painting after a three year hiatus. Several years ago, I became frustrated with painting because, in my opinion, I bit off more than I could chew and was unsuccessful with several projects. I would like to ease into painting again by selecting...

Want to Buy or Trade: Approximately 8 plastic Skaven Clanrats by Games Workshop (any vintage). Approximately 10 to 12 plastic Empire Troops or Militia by Games Workshop (any vintage). I\'m not looking to spend much money so if you have some extra sprues with these parts, please consider a...

Would there be any interest in a CoolMiniOrNot plugin for Wordpress? Do we have any mini bloggers here :D I\'ve been working on what is essentially a Wordpress interface into the CMON Partner Bar. It is almost complete. If there is interest, I will probably publish it officially. Thanks, Mark

Would anyone like to comment on the upcoming Games Workshop Foundation Paints? Here is the description from GW:

I\'d like to convert a Bretonnian Grail Pilgrim into a standard bearer, but my conversion skills are limited, having only done rudimentary work with green stuff and some filing. In the case of my Grail Pilgrim, his right hand was holding a sword at his side, which I removed. I then attempted to...

This is a conversion of the Mordheim Witch model from Games Workshop. I saw a similar conversion in an issue of White Dwarf and thought it would be fun to try it myself. I removed the original bird familiar from her shoulder and re-sculpted the robe. The pointed hat is made of green stuff. The...

I constructed this inexpensive light tent this weekend and it seems to be working out well. I thought I would post the link to the instructions in case anyone else was interested. Instructions: http://digital-photography-school.com/blog/how-to-make-a-inexpensive-light-tent/

Hello all, its been a while. I ran across a simple conversion in White Dwarf #320 (page 136). I\'d link to a photo but I don\'t have one. In any event, it is a Mordheim Witch and she has dirty black robes. I\'m still relatively new to painting, but I think I\'ve got a decent grasp of painting...

I just picked up the Games Workshop Vostroyan Snipers blister and plan on painting one of them to resemble the studio paint job (because I like it so much). Here is an image of the minis from GW. I am starting with the fellow on the right. The question I have concerns this mini\'s hooded...

I am looking for some recipes for painting old, dead trees and tree stumps. The effect I am going for can be seen here: Any advice is appreciated. Mark
