    Confrontation question (Aarklash gazetteer?)

    Hi all. I\'m looking for a book that is effectively a gazetteer/atlas of the Confrontation world of Aarklash, with info on the history, peoples, geography, maps, etc. I was recommended the 3rd edition rulebook but it has very little \"fluff\" to it. What is the book I\'m looking for? Thanks!

    Guide to Finding (and Buying) Rackham Confrontation miniatures (UPDATED 6/20)

    Introduction I just started collecting miniatures last August or so and got hard into Rackham Confrontation this January, snatching up whatever I could find on the internet. I unfortunately missed the near-legendary clearance sales of last year (although found little remnants here and there)...

    How much money have you dropped in the Miniature Money Pit?

    Total value spent, including supplies solely (or mainly) used for miniatures. I know, I know, you don\'t know the exact amount but just give your best \"guesstimation\". Fess up.

    What is this figure?

    The female, not the Cynwall Quarterstaffer. It looks Rackhamesque but I don\'t recognize it.

    [Confrontation] Akkyshan figures?

    As a relatively new, but huge, fan of Rackham Confrontation figures, I\'ve become more and more curious about the world of Aarklash, even though I don\'t plan on playing the game (I mainly collect/paint, secondarily will use for a D&D campaign). What I\'m wondering is if there were any Akkyshan...

    [Rackham Confrontation] Looking for pictures of everything

    The Rackham Store website being down is proving to be a real pain in my wahoo, considering I use it as a database for my ongoing hunt for Confrontation minis. Does anyone know of a site that has pictures of every Rackham Confrontation miniature? The CMON galleries are the closest thing, but even...

    Wargames Supply NZ - a \"pending\" order

    Anyone ever shopped Wargames Supply in New Zealand, particularly Americans? I just placed a fairly large order (170 NZ$, which is about 90 U$, but with an added 50 NZ$ shipping charge--ouch!) about a week ago and my order has said \"Pending\" ever since. I emailed them a few days ago and...

    Pictures of your workspace, miniatures, etc

    Forked from .this thread. What does your workspace look like? Your storage area? Post pics and share your madness! My desk (lots of Rackham bits and pieces...can you name any of them?)... The file cabinet next to my desk (more Rackham)... Part of a bookshelf that I commandeered (astute...

    Help! How do you store your minis?

    Since I started collecting miniatures back in August or so I\'ve gone from 0 to, I don\'t know, a couple hundred figures (and $1,000+! ouch). I never imagined that I would get this into it but, voila, there you have it. Anyways, for storage purposes I started with a shoebox then moved on to...

    Dark Age quality?

    As mentioned in another post, I am a huge Rackham fan looking for \"Rackham surrogates\" (sort of -- I\'m also just wanting to find quality miniatures of different styles). I have come across Dark Age miniatures and liked some of what I see -- although, like Hell Dorado, they seem excessively...

    Fun with Dremel

    I just bought a Dremel 200 for a great price ($35 on Lowes.com)--my wife thinks I got it to \"do stuff around the house\" but in reality I mainly got it to use for my miniatures ;). Anyways, I\'m experimenting with it a bit and so far have used it to polish miniatures--it gets them really nice...

    Life after Confrontation (Rackham\'s ruined me!)

    Imagine that you just started collecting miniatures 7-8 months ago after not buying any since the Golden Age of your D&D-playing youth in the \'80s. At first you buy only from one company that has a wide selection of D&Desque figures to use in the first D&D campaign that you\'ve run in over a...

    A few questions about basing

    I have a two-week vacation coming up (one of the benefits of being a teacher) and plan on doing a fair amount of painting, but would also like to tackle basing, which I\'ve avoided thus far, mainly because while I feel like basic basing is rather simple and easy to learn, to make something...

    The \"NMM Controversy\"

    I\'m pretty new to this so forgive me if this has been discussed to death already. In the 3-4 months I have been painting and searching the internet for tips, I\'ve noticed that there is no more controversial topic among miniature painters than \"NMM\", aka Non-Metallic Metals. Some swear by...

    To Pin or not to Pin, that is the question (re: Molochs)

    Hi, I\'ve been painting for a bit shy of three months and am gradually taking on new techniques, even trying my hand (rather awkwardly) at NMM. But there are two \"intermediate\" skills that I have somewhat deliberately avoided: basing and pinning. I\'ll leave basing aside, only to say that I...

    New painter looking for tips

    Hi, first time poster and new painter. I started painting about two and a half months ago and just posted my first miniatures on CMON over the last few days--not any of my \"first wave\" group (you know, those really awkward learning-the-basics minis), but the second wave--after I felt like I at...
