  • Here’s my take on the new how to paint book from GW.  Its a well done book, but at $60 not everybody is going to get good value out of it. Link to Watching Paint Dry Original Link http://itslikewatchingpaintdry.blogspot.com/2012/04/how-to-paint-citadel-miniatures-book.html

  • The Metallic part of a paint range is very important to me and GW has had great silvers in the past, but not so great golds.  Here’s a video where I look at the metallics in the new 145 paint range from GW. Link to Watching Paint Dry Original Link...

  • Here’s another new section of the range for GW.  While not technically paints, they do replace something that you used to have to paint; the sand after attaching it to your base.  There are other similar options out there, but this one seems decent if a little unnecessary.  Might be...

  • Here’s a review about the new Dry range of paints.  This is perhaps the most unique offering in the new set, and to my knowledge isn’t done by any other hobby paint range.  For the most part I don’t see myself using all of these, but for things like bases...

  • Here’s the second set of paints to be reviewed… foundations.  Overall they seem to behave similar to the old foundations.  The colours aren’t the same, but there’s lots more.  The coverage seems similar but they might not be quite as matte.  This doesn’t really matter because you’re going to cover...
