I thought it might be useful to start some topics where we can record basic painting information for new gamers (as well as useful links).

So – how do you paint Germans in 15mm?

Jerzei Balowski06 Mar 2008 6:22 a.m. PST

Very carefully?

(Sorry, Bill – I could resist.) wink

Jerzei Balowski06 Mar 2008 6:22 a.m. PST

Er, couldn't resist, that is … if I could resist, I wouldn't have posted in the first place. Ugh, this isn't really going anywhere.
