A Simple Challenge of Skill to Eric Jome if he has the.................................
jack
balls to back his words.In previous post on the use of airbrush
Mr. Jome stated that they were a waste ,and when his thoughts were
opposed he issued a simple challenge,he would paint a squad of miniatures
with brush,the whole job taking around 4hrs and anyone
who challenged his opinion and that of his professional art instructors,
could do the same with an air brush and his would be better,after picking up
the challenge he then proceeded to flame me ,calling me a moron ,asshole and
a few other choice words,being protected by the anonymity of the net ,he
felt he could get away with this crude behavior
and is probably right if he hides behind his computer.But I publicly
issue a counter challenge to all even Jome ,I will paint the squad with an
airbrush ,each miniature taking 15 mins each,thats less time then him and
will submit them to an honorable judge,like Tim and Mary,
or some other suitable fair person or persons,whose ever are better gets to
keep the miniatures ,thats all the miniatures and I wager an additional
50$.since he doubted my sincerity I will do this from a sealed box bought
from my local hobby store in front of the owners and the local priest ,so if
anyone doubts the authenticity of the painting all witnessnes will be
available for verification at the store and the church,
numbers will be provided to those who inquire.So Jome put up or
shut up!!!! you talked the talk now show every one in this group
that you can at least crawl the crawl,because when it comes to painting
.I'll eat you alive!!!!!!!!! jack

I don't know from public challenges, but I sure wish I knew how these guys
manage these incredible quality paint jobs in such short time frames. The
only way *I* could paint a whole squad of anything in 4 hours is if I were
dipping the minis in a bucket of paint, shaking them off (more than three
times, and...well, you kno), and declaring them complete.
On a good day, it takes me on the order of four hours to paint a single
generic sort of space marine with single-color armor and a minimum of
detail and highlighting. Add a bit of Space Wolves furry bits and some
"touches", and I'm into the figure for an average of 8 hours. My Ulrik the
Slayer clocked in at a little under 15 hours, what with painting a banner
and all!
Of course, people have always told me I'm, you know, *slow*.

well, i sacrifice results for speed. i could do Golden Demon or better
if i tried, but it isnt worth the time for generic figs. there are some
simple things you can do to speed your painting;
Distance Makes the Detail Dumber
When you are playing a miniatures wargame, you are not looking at
the miniatures at a distance of 2 inches from your nose. You may
paint that way and you may examine another person's paint job that
way, but you dont play that way. And the playing is the thing (well,
its a healthy portion of the thing). Instead of concentrating on
intensely small, hand painted details, consider ignoring tiny areas
and leaving them a plain base coat. Items that are small but prominently
displayed, such as grenades, belts, or jewels should be detailed.
Two or Three Color Method
Face it; minis look crappy when they are sporting 4 or more colors.
And i am refering to all colors here, including black, white, and silver.
When you go to paint a miniature, pick out 2 or 3 highly contrasting
colors and get the major areas with these. Harkening back to the
golden days of yesteryear (your elementary school art class), you may
remember something called a color wheel. contrasting colors lie across
from each other on the wheel... blue and orange, red and green, yellow
and purple. these are the basic 3 contrasting color pairs. white
looks best with cool or dark colors (black, green, blue, and purple)
and black looks best with hot or bright colors (white, red, yellow,
and orange). greys and browns are the hardest to use effectively.
base coat with one color and add details with another; for a space
marine, try painting the body blue and tracing some details using
orange (including painting a number on one shoulder and a symbol on
the other... and paint bolters and backpacks drybrushed silver).
Brilliant!
Never use dull colors. Yeah, yeah, the historical miniatures gamers
and the boring realism fanatics will whine about how no one with bright
orange armor would last a second on a battlefield. Tough! this is a
game, not real life. brighter colors make for nices pieces. dont use
pastels, washed tones, all black or all white, grey, or brown as the
main color for your entire army. It takes too much time to accurately
highlight and shade these schemes...
Decals... Nothing More than Decals...
Nothing beats a water slide transfer for getting a nice detail
quickly. if you are into using these (and you dont need to), you
can often find alternatives at the local railroad or model store.
Drybrushing; The Last Stroke in Painting
There is no technique which is more important than drybrushing.
Practice it when you can. The primary use is in painting metallic
areas... paint black first, then drybrush silver. But this is also
the primary way you achieve highlighting of small, highly textured
areas. use the base coat color with a dot of white mixed in...
multiple passes with successively lighter shades will work wonders.
I'm Gonna Wash That Color All Over That Mini
Washing is a technique you must learn. It is never popular to praise
GW for anything on this forum, but i will say that they make an ideal
line of washes. buy these even if you have a preference for other paints.
Washing is a tricky business and should be relegated to only 2 basic
uses... first and foremost, washing is used to emphasize a weak color.
weak colors most often occur as a result of drybrushing or painting
over another color. by applying a wash, you will reinforce and subtley
shade the surface. second, "glazing". this refers to painting a large
area of a color with a wash of the same color. this will strengthen
the main color and (if there is a slight difference between wash and
base) some excellent shading.
What Evil Trick is Needed for Highlighting? The Shadow Knows...
Lastly, striking contrast can add a lot to some miniatures. Space
Marines are not those miniatures, but there are others (esp in WFB).
Normally, I would insist you prime white to bring out the bright colors.
But, you cant prime black and then heavily drybrush the entire miniature
with white... probably twice. This will leave ample dark crevices which
will highlight your miniature. Drybrush the base coats over the white.
What about a basic black mini? Never paint in basic black to start with!
Instead, find a nice dark grey and basecoat with that, then wash with
Black Wash. it may take two coats. but this will produce much better
results in a fraction of the time. both of these techniques i call
shadowing...

Insolent cur! I challenge you to a test of brutish insults!
Anyway, I've always felt (despite who may or may not believe me) that my
display pieces aren't quite as enjoyable to look at as my play-only pieces.
For instance, I have a few beautiful Chaos terminator conversions that are far
superior to the majority of my collection, but I tend to gaze upon (well, you
know, when I'm thinking and whatnot) my camoflage pants and black armored Blood
Axe Orks more often, and I like them more.
As for the warning against dull colors, I strongly disagree. Any miniature
can work within its own physical context and how you organize the color scheme.
As for drybrushing, I have to say that by and large it's a fairly amateurish
technique. The only things I drybrush are vehicles, and then only if I'm
applying something like chainmail over black. Most real colors look best with
highlights and no drybrushing, a technique I picked up some years ago from two
of the damned best painters in this hemisphere (and since one of them won
numerous Golden Demon Awards, huck-pa to you! 8P).

100% correct. Brighter colors are better. I'm a Historical gamer, so
I have to be careful, but the 40K you can go nuts with the color.
Bright looks good, and is another reason to prime with white.

I'm not disagreeing with Eric here, but when I read this it made me
think of something really interesting that few people may know. I was
talking with my friend Chaz, who was the fella that brought Kev Adams
into GW way back when, and HE was talking about Kev. Many of you may
know who Kev is in that he sculpted a huge number of Orcs and Orks for
GW, more Orcs for Heartbreaker, more Orcs for Harlequin, and I think has
recently hooked up with FASA for something or another.
Anyway, the point is that when Chaz first met Kev, Kev wasn't sculpting
yet, but was painting. But Kev is also color-blind. So everything that
Kev painted was in black, white & grey. I've never seen such a thing,
but it sounds really freakin' cool! Anybody else every see something
like this? Or try it?

i am giving advice for the novice, not the elite. dull colors make
wonderful schemes if done correctly; they are harder to do correctly.
they take too much time and are often too fussy when stressing speed
over appearance. dont agree? fine.

drybrushing is extremely fast and produces effects on the order of your
highlighting, a much more difficult, practice intensive method. we were
discussing speed, not perfection.

Back in the early years of this century, photographic film was
relatively insensitive to red light, and particularly sensitive to blue.
So it was common practice for new machinery, even railway locomotives,
to be specially painted for the official photographs, using various
shades of grey, chosen to reprsent how the official colour scheme should
look.

Yes! There was a WWII game at a Historical Convention many years ago
that had US Marines vs. Japanese. The ENTIRE game was painted in
shades of grey, because that's what the old war movies looked like!
Even the terrain! What's cool is that you couldn't see the Japanese
troops who where hidded in the terrain...
Painting is where it's at. This hobby is NOTHING if you don't paint.

Yellow is good. Yellow would work between them both. But the color
wheel should be used to BLEND colors, not make your eyes hurt.

I played this at GenCon back in 1995! The game was played using Phoenix
Command rules, but with the fast-play suggestions from the PC counter sheet
pack. It played quite quickly with 30 to 40 figures per side.
It was titled something like "Back to Bataan in Black and White". The
ground sheet was a black and grey woolen blanket. The terrain was all
painted in shades of grey. The huts were mostly black with white
drybrushing. The figures were HO scale plastic figures, also done in grey
shades. The only thing in colour were the director and
movie-camera-on-a-crane figures taken from a model railroad set.
The biggest concession to realism was the "Close-up" rule. Every player had
one Close-up, where they could do almost anything they wanted. The referee
would adjudicate the close-up and assign a percent. I think I was hurt by
the fact I was first one to use the Close-up. Coming from a heavy amount of
roleplaying, I got into the spirit of it immediately, which gave our
opponents an idea of how to handle the Close-up. As a result, I came in
second on "best Close-up" voting.
I started the scenario with the commander (played by the late Toshio
Mifune) drawing his sword to lead the charge. As we got near a tree, we
were fired on by a marine sniper with a tommy gun. The marine figure was
actually IN the tree; I didn't notice him, so it was my own fault. Figuring
that his fire at point blank would take out most of my squad, I cashed in
my Close-up card. I then stated that I was going to throw my sword into the
marine's stomache, silencing his gun. The ref said, "Okay, that would be,
uh, 40% chance." I rolled 20-something, and the sniper died. The group
(including the opponents) applauded.
The winner of the Best Actor in a Starring Role went to a marine player
who's Close-up was at the end of a string of Close-ups that almost ended up
offsetting each other. When it was done, there were almost a dozen
casualties and a burning truck. The well-deserved winner received a small
wooden block with an HO figure mounted on it, spray painted gold. It was
all for naught, though, as the Japanese won the scenario.
The reason for the camera man? They moved the camera crew to the part of
the battlefield where the Close-up was taking place. All in all, it was a
lot of fun.

I think that you should contrast your figures. I have a bunch of Eldar
scouts with flat grey coats over brightly coloured mesh armour. Looks
pretty spiffy to me (and there aren't many others to please really).
I prime my Ork stuff black, because I like to do them with dark skin. That
yellow-green that GW painters do the skin just looks dopey, but the shades
they use for black orcs looks really good, so I aim for that.

I do it real early on, before building the base colour up, but I'm too lazy

drybrush. Just like the painting guides.

Thanks to everyone who gave me advice on the decals, as the weekend is

So, you wash the figure after drybrushing it? I usually do the opposite, but a
wash after the drybrush gives a nice unifying glaze sometimes--also good for
metallic colors when you only have silver & boltgun. Just curious, because I
sometimes think the final drybrush ruins the job.

doing it before or after will produce different effects. usually, you
would want to do it before... washing is traditionally done with a
darker shade. after a base coat is applied, you would wash the surface
to shade the recesses. when the wash dries, you drybrush the high points
to lighten them from the base coat.
you may do it the other way as well, by highlighting the highest points
and then washing the whole surface. sometimes this is preferable, as
the drybrushed areas are too light or too contrasting, and the wash helps
to tame it. also, washing later on can produce a glazing effect, esp
when done over a rough drybrushing. this effect will seal the drybrushing
and add a lusterous tone, bringing out underlying colors and accenting
the higher, lighter ones.

First of all, football players don't wear cups. Second of all, I said "covers his
nuts", implying that I covered them with my hands. Third, that'd have to be one
fucking big thimble, but, fourthly, it ain't how big your pencil is, it's how you

I dunno.. whenever I play Monopoly we use figures from 40k..
it all started out when I was left withthe thimble, so I ducked out
and got a runtherd, put it on his head and said it was it's had. S omy
brother went out and got the rider off a track, and put it riding his
dog. So my little sister went and got a trak, and put her.. well,
whatever it was in the back of it.. and the rest is history.. :)

Sure, why not? They already have Star Wars Monopoly, Star Trek chess
sets. Star Wars beer steins (with Yoda or Boba Fet on the little mug
lids), R2-D2 telephones, heck you can even buy the Noisy Cricket from
MIB for a cool $295. You can pay for all that stuff with your Star Trek
limited edition checks.
All GW sells is this stuff that you have to put together and payint
yourself. What a rip-off! I want them to make a set of official
Ultramarines bed sheets and a bumper sticker that says "Orks do it
fasta".

OK, so anyone wanna help out on this one?
If we could make a monopoly set that functions just like monopoly, but
completely 40k-ised.. would be cool :)
sure, it does break copyrighty things from two companies, but we can

put the finished monopoly conversion up on the web..

Well, I guess there's still some hope for me, then. It took me around
four hours to paint a Knight of the Realm, which was the fourth figure
I've ever done... It would have taken me less time, if I hadn't followed
the GW painting instructions like and idiot and didn't glue the horse
together before painting the inner surfaces of the legs and the barding.
It also didn't help that I decided to do a black and yellow color
scheme, touching up with black is not a problem, but the other way
around...

I'd be in for it. Grab some nice strong board, mark out all the different
squares and do some basic job on it, and then rework the cards. Just use
your favourite figure for your piece (as long as it is painted :) ). and
Bob's your auty's live-in lover.
Maybe you could make it like Talisman and have extra boards which hang off
Go, Jail, etc. But that's just getting silly...

don't see why not. Teach those snobs a damn good lesson and give them a
taste of demon-schlong (oops, that would be a KoS).

On that note, how would a fanatic work? Random directions bashing D6 S5
hits on any house or hotel that's on what he lands on? Of course doubles
he'd die I guess..

Here's some basics..
this could relly work for 40k OR for fantasy..
First, you need an oversized board. we need to re-name all the streets
(planets? Craftworlds? we could allways do it in 4 sections..
Imperium, (eastern fringe), Squats, Orks? then Chaos, with the 4 Eldar
craftworlds in place of railways.. (read the bit on the webway))
Move around the board using your favourite model.. army leader,
vehicle, epic thunderhawk, space fleet miniature.. take your pic
This represents your personal army.
Nw, instead of Houses, use troops from your army. Epic stands count as
one..
This represents defensive forces
If you get a Hotel, att a Sargeant to the squad.
When your personal army lands on a spot that is defended, you lose
(whatever - the normal rent) of troops from your army.
You must controll an entire sector before placing defensive forces on
any planet.
THis all sounds like fun :)
