My very excellent friends have gathered a pile of gold coins for my 40th birthday, so it seems like I am coming to Adepticon next years! So, who's going? Will there be a CMoN-meet? Also, I was amazed by the number of available workshops, so if anyone have reccomendations on what I should...

Hi all, I am looking for a model from the Kingdom Hearts series that I am going to paint up as a gift for a friend. It seems unlikely that actual miniatures from the series excist, so I am looking for a garage kit, toy or actual miniature that I can kitbash or alter somehow. I do not really...

Hi all, I am *seriously* considering Adepticon and Crystal Brush next year. It is pretty far to travel, so I think I'd like to stay for a little while and see or do something else while there, or I'd be bored out of my mind alone. But what? Any and all suggestions appreciated, I'd also love to...

You should think that was a personal problem, right? :P I have someone interested in a commission on some demon princes. I'm going to take a look at them and the army he wants them to fit the style of on Sunday, but I am trying to research a little up front so I can figure out a price right...

Lately, something has been off with my Testor's Dullcote. In the past, I've gotten perfect results every time, but lately I've been getting some trouble with it giving a slight, dull gloss (hard to explain, I'll try to capture it in a picture) as if covered by a grey film. It's not terrible, but...

I picked up my Blood Rage box today, and I must say, it looks amazing! The detail on the minis is the best I've seen in a boardgame, I can't wait to play this!

Up to now, I've had a Rep Score of zero. I've had some reccomendations, but it has stayed on zero. Then, today, I got another positive reccomendation (my tenth) - and suddenly my Rep is THREE. What happened to one and two? I really do not understand this system.

Okay, I don't think that anyone can really settle this for me, but I'd like to air my problem and hear people's thoughts. I want to get some more wargaming in. There aren't that many wargamers in my area, and most of them play WHFB or 40K, and there are a few Warmachine/Hordes players. A few...

I really, really feel like taking some time off soon, and head out to some conventions and meet hobby people. The thing is, I don't know what is what, when they are, where they are, what is going on there and what is good. There might even be cons I know well, but do not consider because I...

Hi all, My fiance collects garden gnomes, and some of these guys have faded quite a bit. I've promised that I'll touch up those that are worst off once I get my airbrush (large scale practise!). However, this will be a fair bit of work, and I'll rather not have to do it every year. So, I...

Hi all, I'm looking for some minis that can pass as prisoners of war in a fantasy setting. 28-32mm, I'm going to use them as objective markers in Wrath of Kings. They'll be painted quick and dirty, so cheap is good. Can anyone help me out?

Hi, I have recently been going through some old things, and among them I found this ugly lug: Its a dragon from Ral Partha, made in 92, I cannot recall its name but I think it was green. I have no desire to own or paint this thing, but I am sure someone else does. It has been primed white...

Some fine and varied Saturday morning reading here in the Stene house...

Hi all, I recently participated in Corvus Corax Miniatures' Outcasts Kickstarter, found here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/831472366/corvus-corax-miniatures-outcasts/description It was a lovely little Kickstarter, from the time that it ended until I had the miniature in my hand, less...

Hi all, I don't play Arcadia Quest personally, but I noticed these little guys that might work as proxies or whatever: http://meridianminiatures.com/tooth-and-sword I've ordered stuff from there before, and the stuff is great - very high quality!
