[QUOTE="MNblockhead, post: 9221874, member: 6796661"] Man, I so miss minis and terrain. Due to working overseas and traveling more often than I'm home, I've been running games on a VTT for years and I have so many gray, unpainted Reaper minis stuffed away in storage. I think mini painting may have to wait until retirement. My friends and I were really into Warhammer 40,000 in the '80s. I got to be quite good with dry brushing, washes, blends...but the detailing always killed me. Especially flags, standards, vehicle detailing, etc. But my poor artistry worked really well with space orcs (I believe they call them "orks" now). My friend who was a quite good artist in a variety of media, used to have me paint his space orcs because he could never get the good bad artistic look I did due to my poor but earnest attempts. I even won some miniature painting awards at the local hobby shop. I really made my lack of skill work for me with the space orcs. Did some mini painting when I got back into TTRPGs with 5e, but with work and family, I never have the time. [/QUOTE]
