Tonight's batch. These are the first ones I've done since I bought a bunch of additional speed paint colors so still trying to figure out what I have to work with now. I did feel brave and followed Minsc's advice to go for the eyes on one and yeah...we'll save that for another time. I need to...

Allow me to direct your attention to Crooked Dice Miniatures. It looks like they bought most of the Otherworld Miniature molds. I just stumbled across them in the last couple of weeks and am waiting to check out the old-school drow Kickstarter that is supposed to be launching soon. I'll have...

The eyes look great to me. I'll be curious to see how the glaze works on the skin if you end up doing it. For the buckle and bracer detail, are you drybrushing to highlight after painting them?

Can attest to this. As I return to painting, I'm using speedpaints and I've been experimenting with different priming methods in terms of color. They work much better IMO with the black prime and white drybrush vs. a white prime. Nolzur's pre-primed grey haven't been too bad either now that I...

I can't unsee grafting an 80's era He-Man action figure arm onto that dragon now. The mismatched scale would only add to the authentic Trogdor look. :ROFLMAO:

Yep, something like that. Thank you!

That's pretty cool. Can't wait to see what it looks like once it's done.

Does anyone have any recommendations on the "stickytac" you use to attach a mini to a old pill bottle painting handle?

For anyone who uses Army Painter, I noticed they have a Valentine's special on their website for "singles" bottles, up to 15% off if you order 18. I placed an order (my first) yesterday to add to my Speed Painter starter colors, I'm curious to see how long their fulfillment takes.

Great point! My wife uses those nail decals from time to time for the holidays. Hmm.... :unsure: Thank you!

These are all awesome. If you don't mind me asking, how did you accomplish the two-toned armor on the knight, third from left?

That is definitely one thing I did wrong. I used my drybrush for a couple of different colors at various times so while I cleaned it in between, the brush was definitely not fully dry. I've been using cardboard for brushing the excess paint off which definitely seems to work better than the...

I was going to hold off on posting more images until I had a larger batch done but couldn't help myself after my experiment. I was taking a break from painting, having a snack in the kitchen when I noticed one of my daughters had left their glittery fingernail polish on the kitchen...
