OK, a friend of mine has requested a mermaid mini. I see from searching CMON that Lance and Laser have one, but it is a piss-poor sculpt IMO. IPM\'s Chick Challenge mini is from Pegaso but it is 54 mm which is bigger than my preferred scale (and a google search suggests it is quite expensive)...

Anyone else up late playing the game? DROOL. It goooood. :flip: Online registration was a beast today though, every geek in the world trying to get on Steam (Valve\'s online auth service) all at once. I think their servers melted. It took me ages just to auth to get the single player game...

I just noticed something peculiar. A mini called \"Mittens, the Cat of Chaos\", which was one of my favorites, has vanished from the site! I can\'t remember who the painter is, and googling the name returns nothing. Here\'s \"Mittens\": \\ If anyone can tell me who painted this, or why it\'s...

I just found this interesting page: Joseph Wu\'s origami. Nice you say, but wait, there\'s more! His Fantasy Gaming Gallery - Rust monster, Beholder, Mind Flayer and a bunch of other D&D monsters (some pictured with minis for scale!). For a dungeon master that can fold, a quick way to whip up...

So I hit my local comic book store today and got a whole bag full of free comics! But best of all, they were giving away this free Spider-Man HeroClix mini! Pretty sweet. I strongly suspect that some of you got the Hulk mini from last year\'s FCBD, so I trust we\'ll see some nice repaints of...

I just made an industrial/Underhive-type base for the Space Marine sniper I\'m about to paint. I want to paint him in an urban-type camo but I don\'t want to use a 20th century style camo like I used on my Imperial Guards. I also want him to be a little more visually exciting than the other...

I just found the army showcases at Col. Marbles Miniatures Masterworks. They compare, with the gamer in mind, different manufacturers\' ranges for quality, price, range of sculpts and compatibility with other ranges. Lots of pics. The newest showcase is of Orcs, (not really my favourite...

The computer-gaming web comic Player vs. Player has a pretty funny plot going on right now, about an RPG where you play people playing an RPG (if that makes sense). The first comic is here, but it\'s still ongoing.

I don\'t know how many of you have seen this already (it just hit the front page at Slashdot)but it\'s pretty neat. Makes you wonder just what they were playing with it, huh?

I just thought I\'d share my display solution with the rest of you: + The cabinets themselves are \"Jarna\" CD storage from IKEA (with glass doors and shelves!), the lamps are \"Magiker\" bookcase lighting screwed to the tops. Total cost, about $100 (Canadian) for two lighted cabinets :)...

I thought I\'d bring this mini, Zackdodo\'s \"Vampire King\" to everyone\'s attention. Now, the mini is well-painted, and looks great, and the bats flying with him are cleverly attached so they look like they aren\'t. But in my opinion the real coup de grace is the base. See that thing...

For those who haven\'t found it already, Miniature-painting.net has an interesting photo set covering the process of professional miniature casting. Also, I\'m currently experimenting with casting small (i.e. figure-size) objects in plaster, using a brush-on rubber mold material. My main...

I\'m currently painting up GW\'s Lord of the Rings mini of Arwen and Frodo on horseback. I want to make the base resemble the shallow cobble-bottomed river where her horse is standing when she washes away the Ringwraiths. The base is a standard round plastic 40 mm cavalry base. I was thinking...

\"Another mini\"? Come on people, just because you haven\'t officially \"named\" your figs, doesn\'t mean you shouldn\'t give them a name here. Be creative. Be pretentious. Be silly if all else fails. Just don\'t go with the boring default. It really doesn\'t induce me (or, I suspect...
