I'd like to write a few words about the bases. I started out with this tutorial, which basically says to cover the base in PVA glue, cover the PVA glue in crackle paint, done. I had a lot of trouble finding the crackle paint (according to the tutorial, crackle medium won't work), and...

I'm really gratified to hear that. Mostly when I tell people about this project (my game group, my girlfriend, other circus folk, etc) I'm met with blank stares. I hope to have pictures of painted models up soon!

I don't post frequently enough to know if it coincided with an update to Firefox or with one of my addons, so I have no idea if this is a problem on my end or Carpe Noctem's. When I type it shows up on my screen, but when I try to post it, the forum doesn't recognize it, and tells me it's an...

Back in 3rd Ed 40k I got into Dark Eldar, and loved them like I have loved no other army before or since. And then I decided the game was a mess and quit 40k again. Recently my roommate picked up the new rulebook, and so I've decided to readdress my old Dark Eldar. The new models are some of...

I'm always happy to find another Dark Eldar enthusiast, and yours are fantastic. The colors, the bases, everything! Well done!

I think part of the issue is that vampires are generally unchanging, which is not a thing that the Chaos gods like.

I love them!

Oh man, this stuff is gorgeous. I can't say enough positive things about your paintjobs. I'm ok with the red bits, though on the wights I wish it were a bit more brown. My only other criticism is that you missed some mold lines on the skeletons.

Spray gesso is a thing that exists (though I know you were trying to get away from spray primer). I like Winsor & Newton's stuff alright, but Golden is fantastic.

I think it looks small because it is reasonably sized.

Your greenskins are easily some of the best I've ever seen, and I love your clear passion for squigs.

I cannot handle how much awesome is in this plog. Seriously. It is too much. Though... I'm not sure how I feel about the plasma wheels.

*Blush.* Thanks guys.

Holy crap, you Warhammered Goreshade! (And he looks great so far!)

At the beginning of 2012 I started keeping track of where my hobby money was going, how many models I painted, and so forth, as well as resolving to paint more models than I buy. Here's my year in review. I bought 67 models, which includes Dreadfleet (I found it for 40% off and couldn't...

Mr Saturday, because of this project you are my hero.

Thanks for the kind words! Good eye! I mixed a bunch of stuff for that (and don't remember precisely what now) but the heavy lifting was done by P3's Arcane Blue - which happens to look *a lot* like Hawk Turquoise.

If you like classic Dr Who, check out the Big Finish audio dramas. I do a lot of my painting while listening to them.

Grave Guard! I took a couple of older than dirt GW wights and painted them up as experiments: one in rust, the other in verdigris. I'm happy with both of them (and I had a lot of fun with the shields) but I decided that the rust just doesn't work with my army colors. I intend to restrict...

You know, I actually quite liked Death's Cold Kiss. It's just such a waste that the rest of The Vampire Wars is so terrible. I feel the same way. After the huge inconsistencies between Vampire Wars, the army books, and Liber Necris, I'm hesitant to buy any Black Library offerings now.
