I’ve hit a new point in my painting and I’ve decided to hit the “reset” button and begin a new thread. Over the past year I’ve gone through some transitions. I am no longer gaming, but simply painting for the enjoyment of it and also to enjoy competitions. I’ve met a great new group of people in...

I'm hooked on a new genre of minis. I've fallen in love with the Smart Max series of miniatures. I love them. Full of detail and very well done. The best way to describe them would possibly be Industrial Revolution- Sherlock Holmes/World War I meets the game Half Life. I'm wondering if there are...

Good morning all, As of recently I’ve come to the conclusion and decided that I’m done gaming. I’ve never really played much but twenty or so times in the past 6/7 years that I’ve been in the hobby and have struggled with getting a good group of people to get together on a regular basis. I’m...

Good morning all, I received a gift from a friend last night in the form of a Manticore with Chaos Lord! I'm pretty pumped to get this guy and am planning by all means to put him in my army for tournaments coming this fall and winter. I have a problem though: I bite the dust when it comes to...

Hi guys, It's been a while since I've posted anything to be rated, so this is my "get back to work" miniature. I painted it for the Vampirecounts.net painting contest, The Golden Bat. I had a ton of fun painting it and really getting my blending going on it. The voting link is up...

Hey all, I've finished Nos' army! It's on his way to him as we speak. Here's a complete run-down of all the miniatures, as well as a group shot of them all in the end. Countess: Corpse Cart: Krell: Necromancer: Wraiths: Mannfred: Bloodknights: Graveguard: Ghouls: and...

Hey all, Out of the entire army that I painted for Nos, I think that my favorite miniature was the countess. Here she is: Overall, it was a very fun piece to paint. Any C&C is greatly appreciated as it helps me improve my painting skills. Also, if you'd like, please take the time to vote...

Good morning, This email is to the knowledgeable members of the community who could help me with determining an army to play for an escalation tournament. The tournament starts at 1,000 points and a mandatory 3 core choices and I have two armies I'm looking at: High Elves or Empire. I have...

After many weeks of trying new things and pushing myself beyond my comfort levels, I finally finished this guy... Here's my version of the beautifully sculpted Liche King by Mad Puppet Miniatures. I painted this as a commission for a buddy of mine who wanted to use this for his Wight King...

Hi all, happy weekend. I was wondering if I could get a look-over of my new model I completed. C&C is appreciated. I tried a few different things and am pretty pleased with how it came out. I wish I could have done somethings better, but there's always next time. He'll make a good general for...

Hey all, Sorry to bug but I'm just about to take the plunge and begin painting my new army: WOC. I love the new Lord on Daemonic Steed and I recall having my collection of White Dwarfs and in one of those issues was a step by step for painting him. Since I moved, I can't find my collection. I...

Well, I certainly haven't been around here much lately as I finally got a job out of college and I'm starting to settle down. Rather than creating more forum cloggage on my behalf, I'll concentrate all of my WIP's here to save some sanity of the admins. By the way, the new forum layout is...

Hey everybody. I finally finished the first mini I\'ve ever completed without the use of real metallics. He took a while, but I feel it was well worth the time and patience. The NMM may not be the best, but I\'m coming along. I\'m still mastering smooth blends, but there\'s always next time...

Hey everyone, Almost a year ago I announced on here that I got engaged to the girl I had been dating for a few years. As of recently, I discovered some things about our relationship and the relationship has since fallen apart. While our relationship was not the fairytale perfect one seen in...

While I\'m working on my Blood Raven Librarian, I\'ve decided to multitask for a bit and work on Sir Malcolm by Reaper. The mini is pretty cool, but I still have to get rid of a pesky mold line on the right side of the mini, as you can see. I would do it right now but I\'m out of town and I...

For three long years this mini has haunted my bitz box and today the bell tolls for thee! I\'m using him to enter an online painting contest so this will finally force me to confront my demons and paint him up well. I guess the part that daunts me is the amount of different angles and surfaces...

As I\'m painting along on this guy, I\'m trying to remember the correct settings for my camera. I have hard time achieving the correct focus on this kind of mini. Any advice would be appreciated. I shot these in \"aperture mode\". I\'m shooting with a Nikon CoolPix P80. I\'ll keep looking...

Well I\'ve finally had it with \"real\" metallics. I\'m in the midst of painting my new High Elf army and I\'ve hit the wall with using them. The P3 ones are garbage, even though the rest of the paints are a blast to use. I\'ve used GW\'s but I never really got the consistency just right. I\'ve...

As I get closer to the point of actually painting my Blood Elf army, I\'m a bit of a crossroads; I\'m wondering what primer I should use. These guys are going to have a lot of metal on them, so it\'d be better to go along with black, and I want them to have a little bit more of an ominous...

CMON\'ers! It\'s time for another army!! Getting the chance to play and paint Daemons of Chaos was very fun and it gave me a chance to experience an entire different kind of army layout. Having been at it though with Daemons, I wanted something different to paint and play so I read around and...
