Weekly Finds #20

Seems to have been a slow week when it comes to hobby content... I suspect it is because everybody is excited about the upcoming Grey Knights. Regardless of this, here are the articles, posts and whatevers from the past week...

Who Really Benefits From Fell No Pain? By Sandwyrm from the back 40k - This is a post dedicated to mathhammer or law of averages as the guys and gals at GW call it. As the title suggest it is about Fell No Pain, and attempts to show that it isn't that big of an advantage for Grey Knight Terminators. Which is true when compared to Dark Eldar. However, with that said, the comment by Chaosheade illustrates that it is still a good thing even if only a small one.


Secret Weapon Washes For Sale by LBursley from Awesome Paint Job - I'm not sure how many are aware of this, but some time ago Les Bursley provided a range of washes. However, due to some reasons or other he had to stop producing them and instead wrote up a tutorial on how to be a mad scientist. Can find it here. And now it appears that they have returned with an even wider range of washes. These will be a great supplement, or even replacement, to Games Workshops range.


Ashdown's Black Templars by Ashdown from The Bolter & Chainsword - The vehicles in this thread are a great source of inspiration. The weathering that Ashdown has achieved on his Venerable Dreadnought is stunning. I'm looking forward to seeing further progress on these miniatures.


How To: Painting Dark Eldar Mandrakes by RealGenius from The Painting Corps - A follow on from last weeks post on preparing Mandrakes. These guys look completely and utterly different to the 'Eavy Metal version. The orange, purple and green work well in creating a unique negative Dark Eldar.


Hobby: Strictly Average Top Tips, Too! by Brent from Bell of Lost Souls - We love you Brent! 'Nuff said. I've got to get myself a wet palette. Find out tomorrow if Eckersley stocks them.


Brent is my online super hero... he hasn't fallen into the trap of categorising other interwebz users. Rather he does something that I can't figure out how to describe since it is mid-night and I've gotta get up in 6 hours for a long, boring day at University. Regardless, we love you Brent!
