Paintrix Miniatures

At the moment I'm painting up a series of figures from the Malifaux and Freebooter's Fate ranges.

Some of these are absolutely beautiful miniatures, and they deserve to be painted with the utmost care and attention. Otherwise the paintwork just doesn't do justice to the raw metal.

So I decided to do some research, and looked into a few websites focused on miniature painters.

Cool Mini or Not came up, and there is always some great work on that site, but a lot of that is hidden amongst the mediocre...I was looking for something with a bit more information.

A bit more looking and I found the Paintrix.

If you want to find good stuff on CMoN, go to browse, then select the manufacturer you're interested in (e.g. Wyrd miniatures) and sort by rating (descending). It will put all the great stuff at the start. You can also search for a specific mini, and again sort by rating if you want inspiration to paint a specific model.

Other good mini painting websites include:
*Massive Voodoo (by far my favorite painting blog)
*Chest of Colors (some amazing stuff in the gallery, and a good forum for painters)
*Brushthralls (nice tutorials, but no longer updated regularly)
*Destroyer Minis (personal website of Marike Reimer—if you like Jen Haley, you'll like her stuff too)
*Hand Cannon Online (not specific to painting, but they have some nice painting tutorials, including some by *cough cough* myself.)

A Guide to Geomorphs (Part 7)

A working computer and scanner...that means it is time to get back to work on the geomorph sequence. A lot of the discussion in this set of tutorials has been focused around square geomorphs. They're the easiest for most people to wrap their heads around.  But my preferred form of geomorph is based around the hexagon, these tend to produce more organic and interesting shapes. This is true for natural environments, but it's no less true for urban environments. The example set of geomorphs above as a simple two-phase system. One edge type is plain, the other edge type has a road piercing the centre. There could be dozens of combinations and permutations for each of the two phases around the hexagonal edges, but a quick look at the variety of buildings and road shapes shows that there could literally be hundreds of possible options when drawing these map fragments. But you certainly don't need to create hundreds of designs for the system to be effective. Usin...

A Guide to Geomorphs (Part 1)

After numerous requests to get back to map tutorials, it's time to start our new series. This time focusing on the concept of geomorphs, modular map fragments that can be mixed and matched. We'll start with a couple of theoretical tutorials before sinking into a few more practical posts. I'm predicting a dozen or so posts in this sequence, but let's see how long it lasts.
