I created these two minis myself (well, the wifie did most of the work really) :drunk:: This is them and their halloween score: I\'m thinking they did pretty darn good, that pile should last a 6yr old and a 3yr old quite some time!

GW has posted it\'s coverage of Conflict Halifax where if you scroll down you can see my Dwarf Cannon as the Open Category winner. Coverage of Conflict: Halifax As I said before, the competition wasn\'t exactily stiff, but I\'m still glad to have been. :drunk: EDIT: Just noticed I\'m in the...

Seems sculpting is the rage here the past couple weeks and I\'m trying to get my feet wet, but have a few questions. 1) Is there any reason to use GS, Fimo and/or Sculpey on the same sculpture? 2) Assuming you do use GS and one of the bake to harden thingies, is it OK to bake the GS with it? 3)...

These are the Heroes for my dwarven army: Lord Army Standard Master Engineer Master Runesmith If your thinking \"The skin and beards look good, as does the lords cloak, but the rest looks rushed.\" Then your thinking accuratly describes the work as I originally intended to paint these all to a...

Painted this Hula Dancer from Crunch-Waffle as my first attempt to break into the 8s. I didn\'t actually expect to make it and of course I didn\'t. So, time for me to ask... What should I have done differently and/or better? I\'ve gone some to overcoming many of the issues I had with my...

I\'m sure many of you know all about Crunch Waffle, but for those that don\'t... Well you should start looking. I placed an order last week and received it today (international shipment, so that\'s pretty darn fast), it was extremely well packaged to prevent damage. Now of course the best part...

Tomorrow starts GW Conflict thingie in Halifax, but more importantly it will be my first mini painting competition since US GD #2 (1993ish?). I really prepare anything special and didn\'t even get to finish up minis for any category other than Warhammer Single, but one entry is better than...

Today in the news: Local guy, 22, gets sentenced to 2 years... The degenerate SOB assaulted a 7 week old baby, breaking 42 bones in it\'s body because he was jealous of the attention it was receiving. 2 Fricking years for Christ\'s sake. Why we can\'t just kill degenerates like this is beyond me.

Can someone explain how the voty thingie works? Twice now during the run of one of my minis (http://www.coolminiornot.com/135657) I have received a relativly high number of votes in a very short period of time and by my math these votes have averaged between a 1 and a 2 rating. The last time...

I think it\'s your best mini yet, though I would have liked to see the face. :drunk:

OK... Mini after 75 votes is rated 7.2 A few hours later... Mini after 85 votes is rated 6.7 This means those 10 votes averaged 2.95?

Well I broke into the 7s the other day and with my latest entry (votie thingie) it seems I am able to duplicate my success. I\'m quite happy to be getting 7s on what I like to consider my \'High Tabletop Standard\'. Now to start working towards the magic 8s. Any tips as usual will be...

There have been a lot of lists lately of favourite movies, music, whatever... How about one of favourite mini, not favourite paint job but commercially available mini. Mine is an old citadel figure: This has been my favourite for many, many years and I just found him again on eBay (where I...

OK, finally 60 votes on this montage, time to show it in the forums and have the total lowered: Mordheim Marienburger Warband I actually had each of these posted as seperate voting thingies and each was in the 5\'s, but with improved photography and presentation I seem to have done better...

I\'m having serious photography issues, mostly with lighting. I\'ve read all the photography articles on the site and am trying to follow them to my best but my pictures are always coming out dark and greenish-yellow. I have been somewhat-successfully able to adjust them afterwards with...

Lucky me, I was cleaning up my hobby area (read as basement) when I happened across a box set of miniatures from 1988 by Hobby Products (some German Company) containint 18 finely detailed Asterix miniatures in 25mm scale. I envision many hours of enjoyable painting with these little fellows...

Almost embarassing for someone of my advanced painting years to be asking this, but well... I\'ve never done it before... Seems a big trend it putting the minis on fancy bases like slate. My question is, how do you prep the mini for this? Saw the base and/or tab off the mini with a razor saw...

I\'ve posted a couple new minis, both plastic from the new Battle for Skull Pass box: Slayer Thane I was hoping these would both come out in the 6 range and they indeed are. But I was wondering what makes them better (even though only marginally) than: Dwarf Lord Personally I would have...

If you don\'t want to read a post of ranting and raving about something semi-personal then stop now, it may get boring but I need to get this off my chest. It has nothing to do with minis or CMoN, I\'m just clearing my head. Backstory (will try to make it as short as possible): April 13, 2005...

Looking for feedback/ratings (but mostly feedback here or on the mini page) on my latest mini: I didn\'t say on the posting that it took me about 90min from start to finish on this one (figuring that voters would automatically pick on the speed, but I figure people reading the forums are more...
