Working on my entry for the Duel catagory in the Wyrd Painting Contest, and the diorama is built off a disc of insulation styrofoam about the diametre of a CD. What I want to know is, once I have all the terrain bits in place and whatnot, can I spraycoat it? I heard from a guy I don\'t totally...

Or rather, a brand new computer. Yay! And I got the Rackham minis I\'d had ordered in yesterday. Twas a good day all round :). If anyone cares, the new machine is as follows: Gigabyte K8-something or other Socket 939 mobo w/ PCI Express AMD Athlon 64 3000+ 1 GB of DDR 133 RAM Samsung 120 GB SATA...

Sorry, folks, this isn\'t a proper WIP post (hence it not going into the WIP thread). Just wanted to get some ideas. I bought a Mega-Armoured Ork for my little brother\'s fledgling Ork army (he needs a Warboss, I figured what the hell). I\'m painting it up and then handing it off to him. Anyway...

I\'m getting into painting strictly for display, and I\'ve heard rumblings that the way to properly finish a model is with a coat of matte varnish. If I\'m understanding correctly, this seems like a good way to finish gaming minis as well to prevent \"ruboff\" and other such nastiness. So what...

...and silver while you\'re at it. I\'m wondering what colours work well for a dark, burnished gold tone with NMM. I can get both GW and Vallejo Model Colour at my local shop, so either one goes. Also, what greys work well for NMM silver? I\'ve gotten some Rackham minis ordered in and I want to...

I\'m quite the whiner, aren\'t I? Here\'s the deal: I just bought an Eldar Falcon and I can\'t highlight the damned thing. Along the edges of the wings and whatnot is no problem, but getting smooth, even highlights that blend nicely into the main colour on the \"soft\" corners on the body is...

Get your mind out of the gutter. My little sister has an ancient Arwen model that she wants to strip the paint off of and redo. What methods work for stripping acrylics? I assume paint thinner doesn\'t since it\'s designed for oils, but I have been wrong before ;). Thanks!

I\'m in the process of assembling an Eldar army and want to do my Farseer in white with a red stripe around the edge of his robe (which is the inverse of my warlocks, who are either red or green with white stripes). The main colours I am working with are Blood Red, Skull White and Dark Angels...

I just started an Eldar army and have been reading the story-stuff (fluff for the non-initiated) included in the Codex and it got me to thinking. The Eldar are human-shaped, but they\'re also aeons older than the Imperium of Man, so would it not be more correct to say that humans are...

Question: What genre(s) of music do you enjoy listening to? Fell free to add ones I\'ve missed and list you favourite bands or songs. I\'m always on the lookout for something new and cool to expose my ears to.

...how does one do it? I found, painting my little brother\'s dreadnought for his Space Marines, that the paint clumped like the dickens and made a mess of things. I just got a Broadside for my Tau army and I don\'t want to muck it up with clumpy paint. Therefore, I must thin, hence this thread...

Hey all, this here be my first forum post on CMON. Down to business: I suck at freehand. So I\'m thinking that I\'d like to give fine-line felt pens a try. Anyone have a preferred brand or model? How easy are they to paint over if I mess up? And can I get them in white? My soon-to-be Space...
