Painting Fur and Feathers pt. 1 by Mananarepublic from Bell of Lost Souls - First of a two part series that looks at painting fur and I assume feathers at an above TT standard...
Do Not Miss Out: December 2010 by Volomir from Volomir's Blog - Just like the above article, as well as several more, this is from last year. This is probably my favourite of those included in the list... need to read the comments to get an idea why. Edit - The link is NOT child or work friendly. Dave, from N++, presents an informative view on Appropriate Themes for Hobbying over on his blog . For those curious, and hopefully none of you are, this is the 'worst' diorama I have seen... it is by a Golden Daemon Winner and makes the other diorama look PG.
Rogue Trader Friday: Forgive or Forget? by Brian from FTW - This motto will need to somehow find its way into the Victorian Crusade. Probably add it as a watermark on Army Roster...
Friday Quick Tip: Don't Drink and Paint by Grey Death from The Painting Corps - If you missed out on reading this then now is your chance. I'm tempted to get drunk just to see how much my painting improves.
Making a wet palette.... and why by Master Manipulator from Every Store Needs One - This isn't the first tutorial on how to make a wet palette. There are several all over the interwebz, including TPC. But this one makes the distinction between needing a plain palette and a wet palette.
Painting Recipes: Gold by Munky from Painting Munky Style - This is the without a doubt the best tutorial out of all of those included this week... shows several different approaches to painting gold. This is well worth a read.
Blood Angels and Rhinos. I present my case by Archnomad from The Pinktastic Blog - This was wrongly perceived by the unclean masses as a direct comparison between Rhinos and Razorbacks, with the conclusion that Rhinos are better. As usual the unclean masses completely miss the point. Although not a tactic it does include diagrams to illustrate how fire points can be used and leads on nicely to this army list for Centurion... hence forth any list that spams Rhinos shall be known as a Crash.
Basics: Metals and armour by Ron from FTW - This is the second last article in the Back to Basics series. The entire series is worth a look as it points out little ways to help get more miniatures painted for games of 40K or fantasy if your into that sort of thing.
How to Increase Traffic to Your Blog (Part 1: Content) by Rob from Warhammer 39,999 - To all you bloggers out there, this ones for you. If you want to increase your readership, then this series is for you.
Working with red by Ron from FTW - I've include this not only because Ron gives some useful advice on how to paint red, but also for the inclusion of two links to tutorials on painting red.
Grid Revelations by Erin Palette from Lurking Rhythmically - I enjoyed Tron Legacy... not as much as the first, but it was still good. And Erin's analysis of the film has given me a different perspective. I'm looking forward to the sequel/s.
And on a final note, Happy New Year to Papa JJ and Rob who both wished me one in older posts. I figured they are more likely to see it here...
That diorama depicting the possible rape scene can only be described with one word: Godly. It is an intense look at real life issues of war, while remaining thought-provoking as to state of mind of the victim (the "helpless" Eldar) and the perpetrators. Not only that, the detail and paint job on it is exquisite. I would be dumbfounded if there were not people on both sides of the line regarding this controversial piece of art.
ReplyDeleteNot sure the word Godly describes it lolz But we are on the same wave length in regards to thoughts on the diorama.
