You could do Vampire Counts with a burning dead theme: blackened and crisped zombies, greenstuffed flames on skeletons, etc. Ogres seems like a good fit. Lizardmen could work well too, on account of salamanders and the association between volcanoes and tropical islands. Any of the O&G, but...

Short version: Burning Man is a massive display of art and an experiment in alternative culture that takes place every year in the Black Rock desert in Nevada, which is one of the more inhospitable places on Earth. (Nothing lives there. Nothing.) For the week of Burning Man, an entire city of...

Thanks! The bases are painted Vallejo's Parasite Brown and given a brown wash, also Vallejo. (I initially used GW's discontinued Vermin Brown.) When there are bigger rocks and things, I mixed a little GW Bubonic Brown (now discontinued) with the Parasite Brown to highlight them. The edges...

Some stores will unwrap them so as to let people look before they buy.

Yeah, I thought about asking at my local game store what their sales of GW are like versus their sales of WarmaHordes, but that would still be anecdotal. GW is absolutely the more recognizable brand, and I have no doubt that there are groups of players out there who have never heard of...

I was in one of my local game stores yesterday (ironically buying the new issue of No Quarter) and I had the opportunity to leaf through the new White Dwarf. Yeek. I think I counted maybe three pages of what I consider valuable content, by which I mean content that enhances my gaming experience...

I agree with everyone else saying to paint before assembly. But you'll have to paint a bit after assembly too, because after you glue the two halves together there will be some gaps you'll need to fill. I also suggest gluing the halves together while dry fitting the throne in place, just to make...

Is there any data to support this, or is that based on anecdotal observation? I won't contest GW's previous market domination. I remember when it was the only game in town, and then when it was the only game in town except for the three guys in the corner grumpily playing Warzone. I've...

I glue my sand down with krazy glue, then paint, wash, and drybrush it. I sometimes get a grain or two coming off when I'm painting the base color on, but it's rock solid after that.

Yeah, I order my P3 pots, which is a pain (my local store only stocks the sets, not the individual pots), but I like them so much more than Vallejo that I decided it's worth it. (Shaking Hot Orange for a solid minute and then squeezing out nothing but emulsion was the straw that broke the...

I did a Dia de los Muertos gig a little while back. [/URL][/img]

We cannot allow that free, permanent advertising! I have tattoos. GW thinking they can tell me what I can and can't ink onto my body makes me want to never give them another penny ever. Most tattoo artists have online portfolios so you can research them before setting up an appointment. So...

Wait, I missed this: the Sisters of Battle codex was an electronic release only? That's messed up. I shouldn't have to invest in an ipad or other unrelated piece of technology in order to have access to all the rules for all the pieces in the game.

I love the P3 paints. They have great, smooth consistency, solid coverage, aren't prone to separation, and aren't prone to drying out. I like them better than anything else I've used except for the metalics. I use Vallejo for metalics now. I haven't tried any of the current GW paints, and I...

Thanks! I'm not sure how I missed that.

What will the limit on pictures per entry be?

Here's a relevant article on the Escapist. Poor Rackham. They're evidence that you can't sustain a game on fantastic models alone. GW can keep going for years yet without making any changes to their products or business practices, and even if they eventually go under, the IP too valuable to...

Here's a video review of Warhammer: Visions.

I like it. I'm tempted to try it, but I've already painted a number of ethereals for my vampires, and I feel the need for them to match.

Everything here is fantastic. Really really fantastic. I hate the Mantic skeletons with a deep and abiding passion, but you made them look good. I have no idea how you managed that, but well done.
