    Rackham Basing

    OK, so I\'m into Rackham mini\'s, and I\'m into the Rackham teams style. So much that I barely care to add my own style to it (YET). One thing I notice is their basing looks like a nice green grassy field, yet they don\'t use flock. What is it? Is it just GS\\BS roll out, then dimpled, and...

    Do You File\\Sand every surface of your mini?

    Just wondering because, I sometimes feel as if imperfections on parts of my mini\'s cause chalkyness in my painting. I have been able to create perfectly smooth color transitions, yet there is still a textured look to my painting, and I was using 8:1 thinning even. Therefore, perhaps this...

    Awseome mini \\ Crappy photo

    I guess this is half request, half wondering. Something I saw a while ago, thats caught my interest again because I\'m painting again. There is a mini here which is ranked in the mid 9\'s, yet I have seen an alternative photo of the same mini from a golden demon website. It seemed the GD...

    The Rackham\\Confrontation paint style

    I was just looking at Confrontation mini\'s at Rackhams store, and.. they look nice. One thing I seem to notice though, is that skin tones don\'t seem to be heavily shaded or highlighted, the way many mini\'s are here. It seems like its all about a subtle smooth transition... but, am I crazy...

    Gaming vs Showcase protection

    Just wondering what steps should be taken to protect painted minis for showcase and for gaming? Can the same process be done to both without quality loss? Part of the reason I am investing in Confrontation\\Warhammer is painting\\modeling. The other part is because I\'d like to try out a...

    Son of a biscuit

    So, I drop a mini. Its fully painted. Its a wizard with a pointy hat. Pointy hat knicks the chair before hitting the cushy rug. Its a red hat now with a silver tip. Should I just paint over the exposed metal with the original highlight? Or should I do some super precise-re-priming...

    Just wondering if anyone knew any resources where I could find out about the Rackham Confrontation paint schemes. Most specifically the armor on the Alchemists of Dirz Sentinals and such. It looks like a lot of white is used for most all highlights, no real pure colors ever used. Anyways...

    GW White vs Vallejo White

    Has anyone compared the 2 whites... I was told that the VJ White doesnt come out so chalky... My GW white for sure separates when mixed with other colors, and has chalky look to it... I\'m tempted to go out and get some VJ white if no one has compared the 2.

    New Brushes

    Just got a set of 3 Raphaels and a Series 7. Few questions... 2 of the Raph\'s had about 1 or 2 \"stray hairs\"... If I just pluck those out with my fingers, or tweezers... everything should be OK? It won\'t somehow impact the ferrule? Are the Raphael\'s good does anyone know? I\'ve heard...
