Hello everyone, I used to paint and post here a lot back when I was in high school, but took a long break from mini painting through art school and some years after. I work as a background painter in the animation industry now and really enjoy it, but was recently feeling like I needed to get...

Hey guys, I used to be pretty active on these forums back when I was in middle/high school but stopped painting when I went to college. I graduated a few years ago now, and I've been getting back into painting minis and having a great time with it! There are just a few things that I've been...

I've noticed since coming back on here that scores in the gallery are now often a lot higher than I remember them being. Models that would have scored a 4 or a 5 a few years ago are scoring in the mid six range, and things that would have been getting 7s or 8s are now scoring in the 9s. I of...

So I've been out of the hobby for a while now, but as my attempt at a WIP thread from earlier in the summer shows, I'm trying to get back in. I used to follow GW pretty closely but over the past few years I really havent been keeping up to date. I know that they've had some tough times recently...

I have a vast amount of unbuilt fantasy chaos models as well as some that are built/painted. I'm wondering if anyone would want to trade me some 40k chaos space marine models for these fantasy models. Preferably of the newer variety and unpainted.

So, I've been out of the hobby for about 3 years or so. Ever since I went to college, I haven't really had time to paint anything. However, I have decided that that is going to change. I'm still in college, (entering senior year) but this summer I will have a lot of free time on my weekends...

Hello, I'm curious if anyone knows of any guide or approximate guide that compares Games Workshop paint colors to more traditional paint colors. Something like this http://www.dakkadakka.com/wiki/en/Paint_Range_Compatibility_Chart but with traditional colors instead. For example, is Yriel Yellow...

Hey guys, long time no see. I haven't been painting miniatures for a while now, as I am at art school and focusing on Illustration. I've been searching for a good compendium of Warhammer/Warhammer 40000 art recently though, as I've come to really appreciate the quality of the art that's seen in...

Hey guys, I haven't been on here consistently in a freakishly long time. I've been incredibly busy with my first year of college and just have had absolutely no time for miniatures... However, it's summer break, and I've finally finished all the other art related projects that I wanted to do...

Yesterday I decided to finally do some painting after a long while of not doing any. I go to open my paint drawer and this is what I find: Damn mice.

So I started using Google+ today after being invited. It's confusing me a lot. Anyone else on there yet? See any future in it? I'm not really sure I see the point to it yet.

After not painting anything is awhile, I finally finished something. A crypt ghoul. Going into it I thought I was going to be pretty rusty, but I actually felt like my skills had improved since the last time I'd painted. Anyways, I submitted it here but the pictures were to small. Heres the...

I have the opportunity to go to Atlanta at the end of May, and I don't really know if I want to or not. It'd be on my birthday, so I'm looking more for cool stores (music, art, hobby, etc) and/or hangout places rather than museums and the like. (not that I don't like museums, it's just not the...

After months away from painting miniatures due to college applications, I finally have some time in which to get back into the hobby. Instead of resurrecting old threads, I thought I'd start a new one. I did a rough conversion of an Eldar Autarch the other day just for fun, and now it's ready...

I know I started a thread like this a while back, but I couldn't find it. Therefore, I thought I'd make a new one. Here you guys can share any other artwork that you do. Since my OP, I've become a lot more serious about art. I'm going to be going to art school next year and have already been...
