Old Man Gloom

Seriously, can't stop watching this video. I'm torn between The King's Empire and The Cult of The Burning Man.

Thank you Wyrd for setting the standard! Your miniatures are awesome and I'm really looking forward to playing something on a bigger scale again. 

I dumped so much money in PP for years and finally gave up due to the subpar quality of their miniatures since switching to plastic/resin. So again, THANK YOU!

I'm really liking the Cult, can't wait to see more. 

Thank you so much for everything you've invested into Wyrd and the gaming community, you will be missed!

OMFG... WYRD I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!

Interesting but, I don't think she'll be my flavor.

Hm... very interesting indeed. Can't wait for the new book!

I can't wait for the next book to come out, it's killing me!

Hmm... very interesting indeed.

HOLY ****, I NEED THAT HAMELIN!!!

This is in no way a jab at Wyrd so, let me make that clear. I noticed that as time progressed that the quality of detail in Wyrd miniatures actually got worse up until they switched over to plastic. The new stuff looks amazing and the amount of detail is perfect. However, there are a FEW of the old ones that still look better to me. Anyone else feel the same?

Examples IMO: Streamborg Executioner, Grave Spirit, Sebastian, Mortimer, Necrotic Machine, Teddy, Bete Noire, Silurid

Gremlin witch doctor? Very interesting, especially if he can use and/or summon wicked dolls. Hm...

I never had much interest in the silurids  but, now...

Looks really nice, can't wait!

Very cool, I want them!!!

Thanks guys! Really appreciate the feed back.

Hey,

So, I'm looking at all of these pictures of beautifully painted models online and a lot of them are done with a combination of airbrush and some detail done by hand. The bottom line is I love the perfect transition of colors which airbrushing provides. Just the highlights and shading that you can get out of an airbrush are amazing.

Needless to say, I'm not willing to spend a fortune on an airbrush kit but, at the same time I don't want to waste money on a piece of junk. Any advice that you guys or gals can provide to set me in the right direction?

-Thanks!

Has anyone played with Army Painter Warpaint yet and if so how were they?

Now that I'm looking at it again, how did you do the swords?

Very nice work indeed.

Coat'd'Arms then. How long have you been painting? Do you remember the GW flip top hexagonal bottles from the nineties?

I didn't start gaming until around 03' and 04' so, Coat'd'Arms would have been before my time. So, they basically their pot style now is the same or similar to P3. I started out with the hard plastic, bolter shell shaped pots which were trash.

As for paints, aside from the usual suspects, I really like Andrea and Coat'd'Arms.

I'm not familiar with either of those brands. Can you share some details on?

I've had ball bearings rust in paint pots, this was when I used GW paints, but most acrylic paint should be about as corrosive. I didn't seem to ruin the paint though, there were just these annoying rust flakes in it.

Now days I use 5 mm glass balls.

Have you tried using stainless steel ones since they aren't supposed to rust if they really are stainless?

This is where I'm at right now with paints. I'm using mostly Vallejo's Game paint with a combination of P3 washes and inks. Now with Vallejo you do have to use a bit more paint due to it being thinner and it has that semi transparent quality. I like that quality because it makes it easier to add those subtle undertones and you don't lose detail in the model with too much pain.

1. Anyone using or tried Scale 75?

2. Anyone using or tried Liquitex?

3. Is it possible to add tiny ball bearings to Vallejo bottles to help mix the paint?

Thank you guys for your input.

When I first began painting I started out with the classic GW pots. Later on i switched to P3 which I stuck with for a few years. I now have Vallejo which are pretty great but, I was wondering what everyone else is using and why? Reaper and Scale 75 are two I've never tried.

Any input and/or comparison is more than welcome.
