I am a huge fan of the man\'s work... I think I have his \'naturalistic\' style down, but I need to get more of one color on another, my lines are still way too clean. :(

lol;)

On the other hand, the column that \'article\' appears in is more of a \'rant\' corner for people to air their veiws. That means that wasn\'t an article at all, just a \'letter to the editor\' type fare. I love bashing GW as much as the next guy, but I think this attack is a little misplaced.

If allowing people to voice different opinions in their mag is wrong, then we might as well stop posting in these forums. The fact that this \'letter\' has had an entire thread dedicated to it and that several people have mentioned wanting to \'see the article\' I think GW has pulled off another brilliant PR stunt. Get people talking... in the words of a famous Hollywood agent, \"There\'s no such thing as bad publicity\".

Suckers.

As far as models go, ALL companies have good and bad. GW have produced several very nice wood elf models, and Reaper has produced some real dogs (no, seriously... they\'ve come out with the \'hound\' mini). Privateer Press has taken to piracy and has lost their original touch... several pieces of fluff, including the Names of two different units, have been stolen directly from Blizzard (WoW, Diablo, Starcraft). Inspiration and ingenuity only last so long... TWO of their new units are called \'witches\', and splitting their resources yet again with a third line of products doesn\'t bode well for a company that is already notorious for their incredibly SLOW release schedule.

I\'m not taking shots here, I\'m a fan of both Reaper and PP, but in the last two months or so most of what I\'ve seen coming out has been mediocre at best, and I\'m talking about ALL of the mini companies here.

Or am I becoming jaded? Perhaps I\'ve been here too long and great looking models are looking \'average\' to me?

Who knows... who cares? Just keeping painting the way YOU like and F#$k everyone else. :D

@mattsterbenz - Your Gandalf was incredible and the light sourcing was amazing, the fact that GW included it as a reference for a well executed technique in last month\'s WD should tell you how highly they think of your work.

Well if you\'re talking about \'proper\' painting, you\'ll realise drybrushing ain\'t that valid. It\'s not really \'painting\' when you\'re rubbing half-dry pigment over something. And if you\'re not sold on either the NMM or metals, it begs the question just what are you sold on? lol

It struck me as an editorial....and the guy\'s argument was fallacious on several points----so many, in fact, that the summation invalidated the argument.

As for him winning a GD, cool. But that still doesn\'t mean he knows how to paint NMM---or maybe he does, and he just doesn\'t appreciate it.

In either case, it was a blatant waste of paper. Interesting read, mind you, but *still* a blatant waste of paper.
Those pages he could have spent *showing* us how to paint metals right----instead of *telling* us that we are painting them wrong.

Someone needs to just call him out and tell him to put his money where his mouth is----he needs to write an article for next month on producing master-quality metals.

That would be a good use of paper.

When I read this article I knew it would come up on here. Frankly I don\'t care how anyone paints their stuff. I\'m still in awe of any well-executed paint job. What I am irritated by is the increase in the number of Fanboy articles which feature crappy paintjobs and conversions by the same folks over and over. If I pay $6 US I want lots of sexy pics of well painted metal on display along with the gaming articles. Crappy paintjobs need to go.
