It\'s been fun playing and painting my daemons, but I need a change for a bit. I\'ve decided to go with an army that is the direct opposite of theme: the High Elves. Since I\'ve decided to go with High Elves for a while, I\'ve been doing a lot of looking around for ideas on how I want to paint...

Hey guys, I\'m having a terrible time trying to find my \"zone\" for taking pictures of my minis. I\'m using a Nikon P80, using the \"P\" setting and I\'m using the Macro function. I also have the \"lighting\" function set to \"flourescent\" as well. I\'m using a lightbox to get the lighting...

After getting my butt beat a few times in a couple of draws and minor victories, I\'m emersing myself into the lovely art of stop charging and using flying, crappy, units to make the opposing player think I may just hit him from behind. In our book we have two units that can effectively do...

Hey there fellow CMON\'ers! I\'ve been out due to school and other great stuff, but I finally got around to completely finishing another miniature. Ick! I deleted and redid the photo! Here\'s the link if you feel inclined to vote!: http://www.coolminiornot.com/209729 This is my first mini...

\'Ello everyone! I\'m currently sitting here at my table and working on my Daemon army by painting my plague bearers and I\'m wondering how I want to present these guys. These guys are supposed to be all rotting, decarying, and pestiulant, and while I do normally like the matte finish of my...

Well I did it. I really did it this time. I was cleaning my Belakor model to prep for priming over the sink and low and behold one of his legs made it past my little \"stopper\" and plunged into the filthy abyss of campus plumbing. I tried to fish it out with a magnet, but they don\'t posess...

Hello everybody! Here\'s a chaos knight I recently got the chance to work on. This guy was a lot of fun to work on considering it was a great break from the vigors of classes and also from painting the ranks and files of my daemon army. This bad boy was also my re-intro into using metallics...

Well I caved and decided to try out \"real metallics\" on nothing better than the beautiful Chaos Knights that have just been released. I painted this one for a friend. Let me know what you think. Normally, metallics are something I stray away from, but what the hell, I\'m giving it a shot...

Well I did it! I made the commitment clear to the woman I’ve been seeing for some time now as of yesterday. It’s not exactly a marriage proposal, but it’s pretty damn close. As for the actual proposal, I plan on doing that early next year, and what happened yesterday was a close step towards...

Hey there guys and gals! I\'ve finished my Blood Elf for the lady friend and now comes the part where I put the brush down to get some feedback on what was done well about the model as well as what could be improved! Here\'s the link for the submission (Feel free to vote on it as well! It\'s...

Well I\'ve finished my comissions for the time being, now for some \"me\" time. I\'m going to finally get around to painting my daemon army that has been glaring me in the face for some time. I\'m painting this army as my personal army so I\'m going to take my time in doing so. I want them to...

After finishing Fabius Bile, I feel excited to start my next miniature. This next piece is a little different than the others I\'ve done: it\'s a woman! This is the first female I will ever be painting, so let\'s hope I don\'t botch it up. I bought this mini from the CMON shop after my...

Over the weekend I was finally able to complete Mr. Bile. He was a great miniature to work on and definitely put me back on the right track to getting back into the painting hobby. Here he is: Here\'s his gallery link (votes with C&C greatly appreciated!): http://www.coolminiornot.com/197470...

Howdy there! As I near the end of painting the Chaos Daemon Spearhead, it\'s recently hit me that I actually want to start using them to play. I got the rule book as well as the codex and I\'ve been sifting through it. I\'ve got the rules down pretty well but the choices out there for an...

We\'ve recently been having a lot of funky weather around my town since I\'ve been home. As of last night we had two funnel clouds skirt the north and south parts of our town. As the sirens went off, I had the quick impulse to grab my Nikon 300 and start snapping some pics! Once the all clear...

Hey there! I was recently browsing around my local hobby shop and I noticed they had the new \"How to Paint\" book by GW. It looked pretty good and I was thinking of picking it up soon. What does everyone else think of it?

The painting bug hit hard this long weekend and I recently got a request for a commission on Fabius Bile. So far this guy has been extremely fun to paint. Here\'s where he stands at this moment. I\'m using some good colors from my P3 range along with the new washes from Games Workshop. I...

I\'ve been back at the painting routine for some time now since I finally quit World of Warcraft. I\'m getting better and better but I seldom finish a mini without throwing it into the bin of Simple Green to be stripped and redone! I seem to be at a \"painter\'s block\" or the more equivalent of...

If it\'s at all possible, I would have to say that I\'m in love with a brand of paint now. Coming back from a hiatus from painting minis, I found it extremely hard to rehabilitate myself back into the swing of things while using certain kinds of paint. I needed something that could provide great...

I\'m currently looking for a nice little device to put my paints in, specifically my P3 set, that allows me to store them while making it very easy to find a specific color I want without having to dig through a plastic container. I\'d also like to be able to transport it too. I heard those...
