    "Ghost Stories" repaint project

    A coworker bought a copy of Ghost Stories but it came with two red pieces instead of a green piece. The solution? Repaint! The game is a cooperative four player game in which you protect a village from ghosts drawn out of a deck. There are minis for 4 players, 8 ghosts and 2 buddhas, so this...

    Kids\' stuff

    I\'ve started an account (hakomike kids) to post minis painted by my children and the children of the neighborhood who always want to come over and paint. Any encouragement or suggestions you could provide them would make their day. First off, we have an Ork, by Seth (age 5)...

    Orky Name / PHP fun

    I was playing around with PHP and wrote a little orky name generator. Here: http://people.emich.edu/jhowell/orkynames/ I know there are a ton of these that all use the same algorithm, so I decided to make mine callable as a service as well. All text but the name itself are suppressed if you...

    Duel: Howling Banshee vs. Marine

    http://www.coolminiornot.com/197787 My duel entry in Chicago this year, which got an honorable mention. The marine chapter is a DIY that I did as a big commission job for a guy earlier in the year. I thought it would be a nice treat for him if I used his chapter in my entry, especially if it...

    quick \"colour shaper\" question

    Given the options of \"firm\" or \"soft\" for colour shaper tips, can someone give me a comparative idea of just how firm or soft they are? (Maybe in relation to a normal pencil eraser?) I want to buy a \"mini set of 5\" from Blick Arts and I\'m not sure which type to get. (I can\'t...

    Models with Open Books

    Okay, my obsession lately has been for models holding open books, especially in combat poses. Something about a book in combat just kills me. I know of the Inquisitor and Canoness models with books, the new Commissar, some Skaven, and an Empire Wizard. Anyone have a favorite model with book...

    Did a Space Marine come with Blood Bowl PC?

    I was just in my basement digging through old boxes and found a sprue with a single Space Marine dated 1993. This is fully 11 years before I started buying GW stuff. I also found a copy of the Blood Bowl PC game, but that wasn\'t where I found the old marine. Does anyone remember if Blood...

    Stormboyz.... more expensive?

    Old Stormboyz... $35 for a box of 8 = $4.375/model New Stormboyz... 1 box of Boyz @ $22 (10 models) 2 set of \"direct exclusive\" Stormboyz bits @ $15 (5 models each) $52 for 10 models = $5.20/model I wonder if this means plastic Stormboyz are on the way. The new method to make them just...

    Knives for kids?

    As some of you may remember, my three kids are getting started in this crazy obsession of a hobby. They are currently 8, 6 and 3. I don\'t expect the three year old to do anything but slap color on a mini and stick brushes in his ear (which he has demonstrated quite a talent for) but I\'d like...

    New Army Lust

    No, this doesn\'t mean I plan on starting Slaanesh. For the first time, I am seriously considering starting a new army coincident with a new release, specifically Orks. Just an informal discussion... how often does the release of a new codex/models incite you to start a new army?

    Skaven Giant! Squeak!

    Not as good as the photos on the GW site, but not the worst I\'ve taken. He got honorable mention at Chicago Games Day 07. http://www.coolminiornot.com/170683 And yes, that is a rat tail coming out of his pants. :D

    Worth a repost?

    Here is my current entry for Alastriel, coming in at a 6.0 ...and here is a newer photo. Help me out here... is it ever really worth it to repost an entry with a better photo? Would it be annoying to see the same mini posted several times over the course of a few weeks, just with...
