Here’s a set of instructions for making oil washes for your miniatures. One key that I had not thought of is to first gloss coat your miniature for a smoother surface over which to put the wash.
I am seriously going to try this on my next batch.
Expanding Space Hulk
Game Workshop’s Space Hulk game is one of the best it’s every produced. Every game is fraught with tension, as the marines attempt to maximize their scarce action points in the face of an increasing onslaught of genestealers. With good players, this game is nearly always a near run thing. Unfortunately, like so many of their efforts, the Evil Empire hasn’t continued to support it. Expanding The Hulk is a website dedicated to continuing the Space Hulk game. It’s got rules for using many of the other races in the Games Workshop universe, including Chaos, Eldar, Dark Eldar, Necrons, and Orcs.
Boxer Rebellion Board Game
A couple of days ago a friend asked if I had ever seen a Boxer Rebellion board game. I went looking and found a free print-and-play Boxer Rebellion Game on Warpspawn Games
Seam – A Short Science Fiction Action Film
Seam is a short science fiction action film that I think is well worth the twenty minutes. The price (free) certainly is right. From the description:
In the not-too-distant future, a tenuous peace between humans and remarkably human-like “machines”—some don’t even know they’re not real—is tested when synthetics begin spontaneously exploding. A military-led search for these unwitting suicide bombers begins, sending a terrified machine woman and her human partner on the run.
Make Your Own Dip Washes
“The Dip” is a fantastic way to make moderate to poorly painted miniatures look great. Or to turn a basic block painting job into one that looks like you knew what you were doing. This video has a technique for making your own.
