    How do you report spam?

    I started off just putting the word SPAM in the report text field. I imagine the task of tracking these down and taking corrective action must get tedious for the Mods, so lately, I have been trying to be more creative to try to bring some levity. Here's a couple I've used: "Spam! And not the...

    Hate Paint pots, but love the paint? Here's what I did!

    Nothing new here, but I have been seeing a lot of posts lately about people hating the paint pots, and I thought I would post this here (Mods please move if I have guessed wrong!) to provide resources to those who are hesitant to purchase paints that come in a pot. I too am of the camp that...

    Test Color and Pattern for Tyranid Carapace

    I have a bunch of Tyranids and thought I would paint them in my college colors, black and red. I wanted to get some feedback on what you guys think of the carapace on this one. Did I get the streaky look right? Do I need more highlights/shadows? Ignore the color on the tail. That was a...

    Reaper Kickstarter Delivery

    Got notice in email from Reaper stating " If you are a domestic backer, and you didn’t option for a combined shipment, you should already have your Sophie models, t-shirts and caps by now." Pretty sure I didn't opt for combined shipment. I have not received mine and I am about 5 hours away from...

    X-COM: Enemy Unknown

    So as to stop the Hijack of the Wing Commander thread, I have opened this one to discuss the release of X-COM: Enemy Unknown. It was released on Steam in the US on 8 October. So far, IMO, I think it matches the game play of the original, only with much better graphics and sound! Discuss.

    Cang!!!

    So I finally got permission from She-Who-Must-Be-Obeyed to buy a Cang the Implacable! Here he is in all his boxed and wrapped glory! I plan to unwrap all the parts this weekend (If I can get the picture shelves on my Honey-Do list built and finished in a reasonable amount of time) and get more...

    And now we have paragraphs! WTF?

    Posted my last entry to see that it is in paragraph format! WTF? Went back and edited older posts into paragraphs so as not to be accused of damaging the eyes of anyone who happens to read my drivel!

    Andrea Black Paint set

    A little while back, I started trying to (unsuccesfully) paint black. Thread found here: http://www.coolminiornot.com/forums/showthread.php?49252-Painting-Black As Dragonsreach was kind enough to point out, I was following a technique for larger scale minis that did not translate well to...

    Blogs. Why no paragraphs?

    A few minutes ago, I posted my first ever Blog. I typed out my thoughts in lovely paragraph format only to have the post crunched together into one large paragraph. Did I violate some sort of Blog rules by using proper writing format? Is the Blog the death of the written language as we know it...

    My First Experience With Citadel Finecast

    I learned recently that a large tax refund, high-speed internet access and copious amounts of alcohol, may not be the best of combinations. I awoke the next morning after combining the three to find that in addtion to a few other items, I had ordered not one, but three finecast miniatures from...

    Painting Black

    I am trying to better my technique of shading and highlighting black. I don't like the look of using gray for highlighting, so I used a blue-black for the base, and then layered on A light blue-violet mix for the first highlight and layered straight black for the shadows. Hopefully the photo...

    Good Milliput gone bad?

    Ok all. I have had this yellow-grey milliput for a while (probably several years) and was wondering if it is bad. I used superfine milliput that I have had just as long and it it is fine. The stick on the left looks like it is discolored, but having never worked with the stuff before, I am...

    Forge World Space Wolf Bloodclaw

    For those of you that were following my Bor Dragonbane WIP, I had to leave Bor at my parent's house in NC while we moved to Texas. I should be able to recover him and some other items left in NC in a few weeks. So until then, I need something to do (aside from cyber-bullying Meph!), and I think...

    Black Library Rant

    Are the editors at the Black Library getting extremely lazy at their job, or did they switch to Finecast editing software? I'm plugging away at Nocturne right now, and I swear my 6 year old daughter could do a much better job at proofreading the damn thing. I'm not talking about differences...

    Bloodhowl's Quest for Improvement

    Bloodhowl's First Attempts At Layering I began painting miniatures in the early 80's for games of D&D. Other interests thoughout my life have diverted my focus away from devoting time to developing my painting skills beyond simple basecoats and washes for shading. I have recently left my job...
