Well, maybe the colours are off, but that\'s not his fault. i mean, in EM, they tell you to paint it a certain way, that\'s your job, it\'s grey, it\'s grey, it\'s pink, it\'s pink. You have hardly any say on what looks good and what deosn\'t,. because that is for the managers to decide. Actually that\'s the same way Rackham work, and frankly, any other company in the business really.
And yes, the Em team can paint to that standard, if they had half the chance. Problem is, they\'re hired to paint 3000 to 5000 point ARMIES, and that\'s in the span of about 6 weeks per project(even divided by eight painters, that\'s a hell of a lot of models). At Rackham, they only paint one of each model, like in EM in the old days, you\'ll remember that the painting standard 10 years ago technique wise looked better. (no as much colour choice tho, hate the red weapon thing)
So what do you think is better, a team of 5 painters(I think Rackham have 5 now, not sure) paint 6 to 8 models a month, or a team of 8 paint about 250...think about it(and keep the standards in mind) these figures aren\'t totally correct, but come close to reality. Being in EM takes the most important skill a figure painter can have, speed. Everybody with a certain amount of skill can paint the best figure in the world if they take months, it takes an extraordinary talent to do it in a few days....
Oh, And Mike, i\'ll have to behave a little in Brummie in October, have to still find my way back home to Notts you know
