But seriously, who wants to know how to paint the Tallyrand way, and on top of that, I don't just want this to be just "my" thread. I'm hoping to learn some stuff here too.
It saddens me to see mini painting being relegated to the sidelines of the hobby, and I hope for this thread to become a clearinghouse for anyone keeping the flame alive, be you neophyte or master brushman.
Let me start with my own personal Rule #1:
Rule #1 of painting Miniatures: There is no such thing as cheating.
I repeat, when it comes to painting miniatures: THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS CHEATING! When I paint, I use a magnifying visor, two lamps using both an incandescent and "natural light" and super microfine ink pens to do such things as add tattoos, designs, and general blacklining.
I hope in the coming days to cover a number of topics, with lots of pictures and so on, feel free to chime in, I may even take requests.
Topics on deck:
Paints and inks- the good, the bad, and the ugly
Minis - pewter to plastics, prepping and priming
Brushes - care and feeding, what to get, how much to pay, and brush modding
Bases - simple black, or scenic
Online resources - sages and gods of the brush
Heck, we may even get around to how to actually paint!
Edit: I'm mostly covering subjects at they randomly pop into my head, if you have a topic you wish me to blather on ablut, please pipe up, and let me know, and I'll blather at it to the best of my ability.
