    Fighting the Gray Tide (Miniature Painting)

    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?

    Fighting the Gray Tide (Miniature Painting)

    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...

    Meant to say, those drybrushed minis look great to me. That's one thing with the cheap brush set I bought. The standard brushes are doing pretty good but I question the quality (or lack thereof) of the included drybrushes. It's probably more to do with my just getting started with the...

    Danish cookie jar filled with craft supplies, check. Definitely a legit paint setup!

    Fighting the Gray Tide (Miniature Painting)

    Quick question for the veterans. If I'm going to do any sort of basing, do I apply spray varnish on the mini before I do the base or after? Second, any recommendations on varnish from anyone? It seems like an important step if you expect the mini to be handled with any regularity. Thanks!

    The Reaper KS set I'm painting is similar. 11 or so years of just sitting in a box (except for every few years when I'd run across them, take them all out and say to myself "Someday...")

    Today's batch... 3 Nolzur's hobgoblins. This was an interesting batch. Since they were using the same color scheme I jumped from one to the next. I ignored the bases as I plan to pick up some base materials to fancy them up. Overall I thought they came out "okay". No better or worse than...
