I was talking with a friend of mine about styles of mini painting and remembered seeing some really nice CSM models in an almost cartoony style. But I cant for the life of me remember what his name was....... I know he has an avatar in the form of a spider tattoo..... I really want to show...

Hi all, Some 5-6 years ago the Ironclad dreadnought came out, and i decided to buy one and convert it in to something big...... "None-Standard" And every so often I'd change something, find a new bit or start a completely new base But I was never really satisfied with it..... Until it all...

Hi all, it's been a while since I've posted on this forum (or got any painting done) but I've been working on a couple of projects and I could use some help with one of them... (i plan to post more WIP threads for some other projects too :p) but to the point, I'm working on a duel between an...

I recently bought a pendant, but I'm not entirely sure about the symbolism. I know it's something from either celtic or norse mythology. And I know it's nothing negative. Here's the pendant: (The string goes through the doghead) I just know someone on here has the answer for me. That's one...

Reading a post on MassiveVoodoo, I just realised something really usefull I do. I have an empty bottle of dish-washing soap, and I've filled it with water. This means I always have drops of clean water handy whenever I need it. Makes thinning paint and rinsing my airbrush between colors a piece...

First of all, I am first and foremost a painter, if I don't play a game at all yet end up with a great collection of mini's, I can still die a happy man. That said, I've always loved the Inquisition. The background, the level of freedom in modeling and painting. With the new GK codex...

Some time ago, I started a thread hoping to list every term we use concerning painting. While that list did not finish online, it was finished. School allowed me to write a glossary on painting, in english (I'm from Holland :P). While my first attempt online failed, using Word got me better...

Today is the National Painting Competition in the low countries (netherlands and Vlamingen) This is my submission. Don't be gentle!! What should I have done better? O, and wish me luck :D -Mourner

I just wanted to share my weekend with you guys (and gals). I've really had the absolute greatest weekend of my entire life. it all started on valentines day, when my ex-gf told me she'd take me to a Covenant concert. at that time, one of the best presents i'd ever gotten, but it gets better...

something like two weeks ago, i've started a new project, and i figured i'd keep a WIP thread to keep me working on it (work great last time). I'm building an inquisitor plus retinue. I wanna enter them into the squad cat at GD some day, so i based the weapons around the BA honour guard I'll...

The recent couple of threads by -ice got me thinking about mini painting terminology. What is blending.... What is basecoating or undercoating a mini... Simple enough questions for experienced painters you'd think... But if 5 people would give the answer, you'd get 3 different techniques...

I've recently started on a new project, and came up with something cool. But it's a project i might like to enter into a golden demon someday, so it has to be legal. So, here's the issue. I'm working on an inquisitor and retinue, and i want to place them on a display base. I value painting over...

First of all, quiet please, I need to concentrate..... I've been painting a model for a couple of weeks now, in preparation for a local contest. But I've realised that i've screwed up so many times that i'd have to strip the model and repaint it entirely to get it the way i want. So i've...

most minis have them, those spots where you can hardly reach, or that are just too small and depressed to achieve anything like a smooth blend... many of these areas are pretty much invisble, but on the Emperor's Champion i'm painting at the moment, there's a couple on really visible places...

dear admins (and everybody else) i've been on the forum for a couple of years now, and something that has always bugged me was the search function. i could never find anything i wanted.... even though other users said that the threads were there. today, i tried out the new search function that...

okay, first of all, this problem isn\'t mini related, but i didn\'t know where else to post it, this is one of the best Forums i\'ve found, and i\'ve seen people discuss all sorts of things... so, here goes: i met a girl a couple of weeks ago, and she blew my mind.... I\'ve been talking to...

okay, this is something i\'ve been brooding on in order to get freehanded text and motives that are just a bit more realistic in how they follow the curving lines of a piece of cloth or some other curved object. Now, i haven\'t had the time or opportunity to try this, so this is all...

so, i\'ve started painting up a Celestine model, just plain and simple, the only conversion i did was to chop off that halo and sand off the Fleur-the-lys. But now I\'m wondering what color to paint the cloth..... the armor itself will be NMM (Grey/steel mostly, with gold on the shoulders) but...

I was wondering if someone knew of some (large) army specific forums. I´m mostly looking for Background, hobby (paint and buidling) and gaming/tactical articles, though hobby is on the top of my list. So far, I know of \"the Waaagh\" (www.the-waaagh.com/forums/) An Ork forum, anything green...

So, I\'ve finally finished my Commissar and entered it into a local painting competition. it got a very close second (they had to call in a sixth judge, just to pick a winner) in the advanced (experts) category, so I figured I\'d post it here in the hopes of getting as many pointers on how to...
