Selling an older army of mine: Dark Eldar Army - 60+ figures, 3 vehicles I just don\'t play it anymore, it\'s taking up space beside my painting area, and I already have hundreds of other figures ahead of these in the \"I\'ll strip and repaint these one day\" dream. So off it goes. The...

Hi folks, Asked about this on the CCM yahoo list, but got no bites. I\'m seeking the Mighty Pinchus figure from the Grenadier Champions Pack #311 \"Mighty Pinchus & Friends.\" Released as a blister in the later 80\'s for the Champions RPG. Came with a werewolf-like hero and a bald \"golem\"...

Heyas all, Weird question: Can anyone turn up a world distribution of eye-hair colour combinations? My google-fu has failed me. I\'ve found the wiki on hair/eye colour obviously, and some other genetics-based sites with distributions, but no distribution numbers specifically for hair/eye...

Greets! <p > Tyranids, that monstrous horde of aliens that devour everything in sight! Many folks have asked me how I paint my tyranids, so in the newest tutorial at <a target=_blank href="http://www.necrotales.com/necroTutorials/">Necrotales</a>, I share that process. The tutorial outlines...

For some reason, the front page mangled my recent news entry, wiping out the title as well as the direct link to the new tutorial I was posting about. This makes the news article not as useful as it should be, to say the least. Interestingly, the post that was duplicated to the News forum was...

An excellent method for alien carapaces is streak painting, where short strokes of colour are used to quickly create natural patterns. But did you know that this surprisingly versatile technique can also be used for non-metallic metals and a host of other things? Necrotales.com dives into the...

Probably old news, but it reminds me of the Fiji mermaid thread from a month or two ago: http://www.lebanoncircle.co.uk/DeadFairy.htm The ebay auction went for nearly $600US. Heh. Maybe those of us who paint minis for cash should get into the dead faerie makin\' business! :D Kep

Assorted painted minis by me: * A Gamesday 2007 Ork * A Hasslefree Strumpet * A classic Citadel Hunchback * A Confrontation Quaestor Later today, an Eldar Harlequin will be joining the batch. Take a look here: http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQfgtpZ1QQfrppZ25QQsassZeQ2darkham Thanks for your...

Remember when orks were... well, crazy and fun? Taking whatever they could, throwing it together (likely with \"lotsa nails\") and using it right away on the field (\"testin\'s for pansies\")? I remember! My ideas tend to be left-of-center to begin with, but keeping in mind the legacy of fun...

The Mag Egos Website seems to be down for a rather interesting reason. I only have three or so figures by them (two kobolds and a chick with an axe), but some of their other figures had potential. Any ideas if this non-payment thing is temporary or a permanent out of business thing? Kep

Greetings! <br> <br> The two latest tutorials at Necrotales.com take a slightly different focus than previous tutorials. With the 2007 Gamesday season beginning in just a month, the new <a target=_blank href="http://www.necrotales.com/necroTutorials/tut_base_display_01.php">Display Bases...

Tired of the endless parade of Goblin Green bases? Break out of the rut! Explore all sorts of new and fun plantlife for your miniature bases, from static grass and leaf clutter to bamboo and paper flowers with <a target=_blank...

What\'s considered a good turnaround time for a commissioned paint job? I\'m hoping to improve my turnaround time, and I\'ve identified several delays: waiting for ordered models & bits to arrive, waiting for a client to respond to questions (even the fast ones can sometimes take up to 24...

Anyone tried using an ultrasonic cleaner (such as this one from Micromark) to strip plastic or clean brushes? How powerful is one of these things? Would be worth its weight in gold if it stripped plastic... Not particularly happy with my results using Easy-Off or brake fluid. Kep

Anyone from here play Tribal Wars? My username there is Arkham on World2, and I\'m with RVRO if anyone is interested in being allies or whatever. :) Kep

Helloas, The Dark Angel commander took far longer than it probably should have, but I\'m pretty pleased with all the little details. The tabard and back banner are green stuff with freehand. I came across the wings for the helm by lucky coincidence while flipping through the GW bits...

So how much would a trophy or slayer sword go for on eBay? Not the entry; the actual award. Anyone pondered this? I wouldn\'t think they\'d really be worth anything to a new owner as the accomplishment and pride is non-transferrable... but people pay for surprising things. A random thought...

Guru Guru Neko (Round and Round Cat) I share because I shouldn\'t be the only one wasting my time on this stupid game. <G> Kep

Actually, I kinda wanted to bitch about the sculpts for the coven witches from Reaper... they\'re really awful. Okay, bitch over. <g> This one is the best of the lot, and even then I had to replace the staff core with brass rod since it had broken badly in the packaging. Nonetheless, was a...

Well, I\'m still waiting on my bits from GW to make some other more interesting Chapters (Night Lords, Dark Angels, Thousand Sons, for example), but in the meantime I did this one: Iron Warrior Lord! I continue to be very unhappy with how I photograph metallics, but have yet to find out...
