Numbers 6 and 7 Report for Duty
Stas dropped into the chat early in the morning with the kind of update we always like to see: miniatures number 6 and number 7 are alive and well, and they came to say hello.
Stas dropped into the chat early in the morning with the kind of update we always like to see: miniatures number 6 and number 7 are alive and well, and they came to say hello.
We started, as usual, from hobby logistics and trying to figure out when we could actually meet up. There was talk of Rome, coming back from the mountains, maybe squeezing in a game on Thursday, maybe Friday, maybe something unusual...
Stas dropped a little painting progress update that we immediately understood on a spiritual level: the moment when the metallics go on really is one of the most satisfying parts of the whole process.
There’s a moment in this hobby that never really gets old: when a miniature stops being just plastic and starts to feel alive. Stas summed it up perfectly the other day — painted minis just come alive in a completely...
A small painting test that turned into a useful comparison

Tomorrow it begins
Sometimes the plan is simple: just grab a few supplies
We recently had one of those very relatable hobby chats: frustration with paint ranges that look completely different in the bottle, on the chart, and on the miniature. This time it started with Vallejo catching some heat for confusing colour...
We recently had one of those extremely relatable hobby conversations: we just need a few paints, and five minutes later the basket somehow costs as much as a Spearhead box. Classic.
