Hey, people who know a lot about dremels, I'd appreciate some insight into this. When I switch my dremel on, it has become loud and scary. It took me a while to figure this out, but I think that, despite being at the lowest setting, it is at the highest. I have not tried switching it to a...

My local source for metal rods and tubes has become unreliable. Can anyone suggest an online resource? Also, functionally, what's the difference between brass and copper? The displays in hobby and art supply stores tend to be in such disarray that I can't tell which is which, let alone if one...

The new software killed all my photobucket links. I'm trying to fix my plog. When I use the IMG option from photobucket, it doesn't display the image here, and I get this: I didn't even know I could like posts. So I went and liked a bunch of likable posts. Nothing changed. If I use the...

I've always liked the look of cork bases, but I've never tried it. How durable is it? I worry that the cork would shed cork particulate because of handling and gaming.

So a while back, I saw Pacific Rim, and it made me want to play games with kaiju. So I dug my old Monsterpocalypse stuff out of my closet, ordered some new models on line, and browbeat a couple of friends into playing some games with me. And because Monsterpocalypse is easily one of the best...

So I've been thinking about ghouls, and I've been wondering how they function ecologically. I looked up a few numbers, but they're hardly from accredited sources. I'm hoping you guys can help fill in the blanks here. We have to make a lot of assumptions. Some are easy. We can reasonably...

I've been worked on a Mortis Engine, and have discovered that the base is severely warped and won't lay flat. I tried coating the underside in glue and then pressing it flat. (That sounds weird, I know, but doing something to balance out the tension of paint on canvases and panels on the...

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...

My original plan painting these models was that the dead are cold, and so in order to convey that, I decided to stick to cool, muted tones. I ended up with a strategy where I more or less grey-ed everything out, highlighting in almost all cases with white, and using gobs and gobs of GW's now...

I had a thought, and decided to post it here so people can tell me what's wrong with it. Basically, that thought is this: Vampire -Aura of Dark Majesty -Fear Incarnate -heavy armor & shield -BSB -The Screaming Banner -extra magic level -Death Magic, in the hopes of getting Death...

I learned years ago that the reason why GW's spray varnish sometimes ruins your models by hazing them gray is humidity - I guess the varnish is trapping water from the air inside it. People seemed to generally recommend Testors Dullcote, but I couldn't find anywhere in my area that sold it, so...

So GW has continued their merry tradition of discontinuing paint colors I consider vital to my pallet, because they are horrible bastards who I will curse with my dying breath. (In the meantime, I will probably continue giving them money by buying their other products.) Anyway, I've...

Gonna start with the warcasters. All of these are the original models, but Deneghra has had the most iterations over the years. I have the second version of her as well, and though I think it's rather better sculpted than the original, I'm fond of the overall design of this model. [/img]...

My Grave Guard have sat on their sprues in their boxes for months because I cannot decide between sword and board or great weapons. I know conventional wisdom around here is to give them great weapons. The one exception I've seen was someone who suggested going with sword and shield against...

Back in the days of 6th ed, I had an idea for a Necrarch-based army. I wanted it to look cobbled together with necromancy by a beleaguered vampire who felt that he had better things to do with his time than exterminate mortals in nearby villages and towns, but periodically would be forced to by...

My first post on this forum. (Eep.) This is the old GW Neferata model. I have no idea how I came to own it. I did this more or less as an exercise in taking a really awful miniature and trying to see how much less awful I could make it. So I hacked off the staff and dremeled off the crown, and...
