I\'m looking for new space marine chapter inspiration - does anyone have links to pics of really interestingly themed / pretty looking armies, marine or otherwise? Something unusual that really stands out. Cheers! :beer:

Whether it be total bullcrap for an employees mouth, or cringeworthy nerd-speak from a player. For me, it was a bit of both. A few years back a London GW employee (who was advising me on my initial purchase of Eldar models) insisted on aiming an invisible gun and making \"pew pew\" noises after...

Does anyone know how to effectively sculpt fur with greenstuff? I\'m thinking of something like this, boar pelt from Scibor: http://www.coolminiornot.com/104920 Now anyone could hack and slash with a tool or knife, but I wanted to know how it can look neat and uniform like this. Answers much...

I was curious to get opinions on what the strongest glue (for both metals and plastics) on the market currently is? I\'ve always used the 2 part epoxy type stuff which is pretty strong, but I\'ve bought ebay minis that feel like they\'ve been welded together! I once tried to disassemble an...

Hey all, I\'ve been painting minis for almost 20 years, off and on. Up until now using the GW range of paints, decent brushes, and tap water. I\'ve been recently become tired of the niggling problems with a basic set up, such as the paint drying on the palette too fast, brush strokes appearing...

I thought it was worth asking on the off chance - are there any household items you can add in with paint to keep it fresh in the bottle and extend it\'s wetness while painting? If not I can grab some stuff at an art store, next time I travel into the city.

I\'ve read on numerous forums that a sandwich box, water soaked sponge, and parchment paper makes a good wet palette for GW style paints. So I went out and bought what I need, and it is working... sort of. The first recommendation I read is that wax paper is good, and it\'s not, completely...

Hi all, I was curious to find out the preferred light source / lamp type for hardcore mini painters? I was using a pro photography daylight viewing box that I got from work for some time, but while very good it\'s a little restricting. Anyone know the best low heat / neutral light bulb type...

I was wondering if anyone knows where to get a bright shade of green static grass like in the pages of White Dwarf? I mean, the stuff you can buy at your local GW is great, but kinda dark looking when compared to the BRIGHT yellow-green the WD guys use. Thanks!

Hi people, I wanted to post up a quick note to say that I\'d like to offer a little free photo retouching for people who aren\'t satisfied with any digital pics / scans that they\'d like to look great! I\'ve been working in this field for 10 years and know photoshop inside-out. I\'m only going...

Has anyone else noticed what awful miniatures the Warhammer chaos furies are? http://store.us.games-workshop.com/storefront/store.us?do=Odd&odd=NewLayout&_do=List_Models&code=5109&game=2&database=23&c=5109 I\'m collecting a chaos army and really need some of these, can anyone suggest any other...

Any painters/gamers in the Los Angeles area? Drop me a line, still quite new to the area. Cheers, Paul S.

I\'ve always used the standard Games Workshop kind, but I get the feeling that these are thicker than some of the other brands out there (not to mention more expensive?). It\'d sometimes be nice if I could do some smooth blending and not have the paint dry super-fast on the mini (and yes, I do...

Any modellers / painters / gamers live in the Los Angeles / Hollywood district? Cheers, Paul S.

I was curious to what digital camera you folk would recommend for for taking pics of minis? I\'m guessing it definitely needs a macro feature, for a start? There\'s some really great, super clear pics posted on the site! Cheers, Paul S.

Hi guys, I\'m a 15 year veteran painter of GW minis, but new to the site. I\'ll be posting up some pics when I get a digital camera with a macro lens. In fact, I\'ll add post to see what you guys recommend? My questions is, I\'d like to have a crack at sculpting and producing my own minis...
