Everyone see the huge clearance sale SV Games is running on Chainmail stuff? Last chance kiddies! :) http://www.svgames.com/miniatures-blowout.html

Here\'s a toughy . . . There are a lot of painters on CMON and for the most part the ratings are pretty much right on target. However, are there any painters who you feel whose work is consistently better than rated? Now before everyone goes and says that they themselves are underrated, let...

oh! Anyone going to be at Cold Wars in Lancaster this Saturday?

What\'s the concensus on your initial vote on your own posted mini? Do you give yourself a higher score than you know you deserve (only 1-2 points higher) thinking that at least you\'ll get one vote that\'s higher than the average? (or sometimes - it\'s the best you can do so you feel it\'s a...

I saw in the shout box a small thread about a Good Ol Boy network at CMON. I\'m a frequent troller/contributor/forum poster and havent noticed anything that would lead me to that conclusion. Can anyone give any evidence of that? just curious . . maybe I\'ve been blind . . .

A lot of people have been bitching about how expensive GW stuff is . . here\'s what looks like a promising alternative to WFB. A challenge: - see if you disgruntled EX wahammer players can help Westwind be a real competitor and check out their stuff . . . neat background materials and some jolly...

For those of you who DO NOT use a flesh based base coat on human flesh (Dark Flesh, Dwarf Flesh, Sun-tanned flesh, etc etc) - what color browns are you using for that task (brand name too please) ?

How should one attempt to do NMM chainmail? I reckon there are two types of chainmail sculpt and I spose you\'d have to do it differently for both: 1) the cloth is carved and then holes are poked evenly through out - (like that Chainmail 2handed sword guy) giving the illusion of chainmail or...

I just did a cursory statistical look at my postings and found a potentially interesting thing: The view to vote ratio - on miniatures I\'ve submitted - ranges from 4.41:1 (on my highest rated miniature) to 2.26:1. In other words, 4.41 views of that highest rated pic must occur before...

Apart from \"1\" (ya smart alecks!) I just completed a blitz of voting and I put it to you that the difference between a 7 and an 8 is the sculpt. Usually once you\'re past the 6\'s it\'s hard to distinguish what really deserves the 8. At this level the paint job is fairly good. Not quite...

If anyone thinks that the score you give a mini from the drop down box in the comment window immediately contributes to the actual score of that mini, it doesn\'t. I thought I remember this being discussed somewhere . . . It\'s testable, find a mini that has very few votes - <5 or so. Leave...

Besides New Wave, are there any other reputable discount vendors on the web with as good a selection and prices? I\'m mostly interested in GW, some Celtos, and just random Fantasy stuff too. I recoil at paying full price for minis and was wondering where folks could reliably get minis on the...

A friend of mine (now deceased sadly) used to have a bunch of figures (4-5?) that he said were called \"Hellborns\". This has to be at least 20-25 years ago. they were 25mm\'s - dont know the manufacturer (?Dungeon Dwellers??), can\'t find them on the net by that name Hellborn(s). But they had...

http://www.coolminiornot.com/?id=11568 Just a quick note to point out the flesh tones on this and Cyril\'s other human models. Good god they are superb - and all (mostly) GW . . . How\'d you do it Cyril?!

Working on a short speech for tomorrow and was thinking about all the things I\'m thankful for. Gotta admit I\'m very thankful for all that CMON means to me and I\'m sure others as well - there\'s some great people I\'ve chatted with here and and I\'ve seen some drop dead stunning modeling too...

Is anyone playing this? I\'m still painting up stuff for it frankly (lotta distractions these days). I have all the books and a great deal of the figgies and the premises and models are all real cool but I\'m having a devil of a time finding content on the web from players so I thought I\'d...

I went looking for that submission above and for the life of me I can\'t find it anywhere! It was a diorama - Vampires vs Vampire Hunters. Anyone know what # that is . . I tried the obvious: GW, then Fantasy, then Misc, then keyword Captain, Sun, etc etc . . . to no avail. I spose it could have...

A ton of people are interested in NMM these days, myself included. The hardest part though, to get started, is deciding on the pallette. What brands of paints and what recipes are people using to create it (white metals in particular: steel, iron, etc) ? I\'ve seen GW Shadow Gray used as the...
