Hey guys, What scale would you say that the Crypt Horrors/ Vargheists are? Or, how tall are they? I'm looking at doing a conversion and was wondering if their head would sit well on a 1/24 scale (~75 mm) figure. Any feedback would be great! Jake

Damn you U_M, you beat me to it. U_M speaks nothing but wisdom in the above post! All the best, Jake

RE: Dragon Legion NSFW update 4-3-12 I feel and look like a zombie Wonderful progress so far. I'm always amazed at how much painting you get done!!!! Keep up the awesome work! All the best, Jake

Actually my most recent model was painted with all Jo Sonja's, except for some parts of the base that is (rust effects and oil stains were done with AK Products). You can really thin the paints well, much thinner than what can be accomplished with GW paints. I find it a bit easier to...

I think that they very well could fit, but I don't have the models currently in my possession. I'm pretty sure it's a close fit, but if not, you could always mod them with a bit of GS. All the best, Jake

Welcome aboard bud! You certainly have quite a host there. Please fancy me and post some pics! All the best, Jake

RE: Ghost Ship (Updated 4/2/12) I second the green stuff element to the sails. Nothing drastic, but just subtle as it'll add contrast and depth to the sails. Overall, this thread is AWESOME! I love scratch-built stuff like this! Keep up the excellent work. All the best, Jacob

I just run up to my Hardware Hank and get "Simple Green" and throw the miniatures, be it plastic or metal, into a cup or tub for roughly a day or so and then attack them with a toothbrush. Doesn't hurt the plastic at all and the paint just flakes right off the miniatures. All the best, Jake

I thought it was Battle Bunker as well. I'll look myself when I get home tonight. All the best, Jake

It's too bad that they're having to change the colors after there trading/ business negotiations tanked with China (I talked to one of the GW painting reps at my local center who was non too pleased). I did like some of the colors in the GW range, mainly their metals, but I haven't used those...

Unit fillers are a great way to add to the look of your army. As long as they're in theme and fit with the rest of the unit you should be good to go. I used them when I still played and it made the army look a bit more like an actual army with some character. What type of filler were you...

RE: Turning The World To Darkness Challenge : Orc's and Goblins I'll see if I have any Orc bits around. This could be fun! Jake

RE: Redarmy’s Painting Thread 2.0 – Redarmy Strikes Back! Thank you both for the kind words, I really appreciate them. Those blends are done by hand. I've since realized that it is much easier for me to use "by hand" techniques to complete the figures. I can/have used an airbrush for...

RE: Redarmy’s Painting Thread 2.0 – Redarmy Strikes Back! Thanks for the feedback everyone. 'Stalker" is now complete. As always, your feedback is greatly appreciated. If you feel inclined to do so, you may vote for it on CoolMiniorNot at this link: To vote, click here. All the best, Jacob

RE: Redarmy’s Painting Thread 2.0 – Redarmy Strikes Back! Made some additional progress on this piece tonight. I'm going for the KLMK camouflage used by Russian commandos during the 80's. The top will be painted a soiled/ dirty tan color. I think it came out well. Any feedback would be...

RE: Redarmy’s Painting Thread 2.0 – Redarmy Strikes Back! Thanks for the kind words, bud :) I've made further progress and am just about ready to call the base DONE. I just have to highlight the branches of the trees. That's all for now. Hoping to get the basecoats done on the figure...

Experimentation is a good thing. Your skin tones are wonderful. I really like the full range of purple hues you throw into them. How long does each one take to do in that way, would you say? Keep up the wonderful work you're doing. All the best, Jake

Wow, the wolves blow me away! They definitely have that pack aspect that isn't there in the normal models provided. The paint job on them is very good. Keep up the great work! All the best, Jake

Your abilities to sculpt are so awesome you infuriate me. That sculpt is looking amazing!! Weren't there some skin recipes you were asking about at some point? Refresh my memory... All the best, Jake

Oooooh, those are very strange, but in a good way. I like the contrast on them. Many people tend to paint them quite muted. Excellent job on yours. You could try running some light washes of Bahl Red from the tips and down to the body to make it flow really nicely. Fantastic work. All the best...
