Longest-running tabletop wargaming podcast on the planet!
Jonathan is joined by special guest Gordon Firemark esq. He’s CEO of Firemark Industries and entertainment lawyer at his own law offices as well as being an author and podcaster.
Together they tackle the big issue of Recasting! First they cover the core facts, what recasting is, what the major causes of it are and is it legal, and if so, when and how. Then they dive into listener questions
In a previous article, I highlighted a few companies that made miniature figures that I had recommended to gamers. One such company that really stuck out was Footsore Miniatures, a company I first bought 28mm figures for wargaming Viking Age Europe. Let me say that I do not regret buying from these chaps, as they make wonderful metal miniatures for wargamers and hobbyist to collect. The first miniatures that I had collected were a six-point Scots starter warband. I have always had a fascination with Viking Age Britain for many years. After watching the television series, The Last Kingdom, I was eager to start collecting models for a new wargame.
This is a multi part series which will cover the basics of miniature painting from the materials to techniques to finishing.
You have run out and bought your supplies listed in Part 1 The Tools for Mini Painting Success! and now are raring to go! If you are just trying painting for the first time with a miniature that does not require priming, then go ahead and start base coating (which will be covered in a future post). While this month’s post is for those of you who decided that miniature painting is something you want to pursue and have invested in a set of tools mentioned in the advanced tool list and want to take the extra time to properly prepare your miniature for painting, it should be handy for all who are even considering jumping into the hobby to get an idea of what is required while prepping to get the most out of your miniature.
Keep in mind, if you are just painting something for your own table top and do not need a competition quality job, some of the steps, such as cleaning off faint mold lines, you likely can skip. My first rule of mini painting is, “Do what works for you.” If you find it works for you, then skip whatever steps or add some to this list.
The miniatures used here are as follows: the metal mini is Reaper Miniatures 01647 Courage: Australian Relief Fund Mini and the resin (Bones Black material) one is Reaper Miniatures 44006, Garghuk, Ogre Chieftain. These two will be used for much of the tutorials I will be posting in the how to series.
Jonathan aka “Mr. Salty” and Adrian share the films that inspire them with the hobby.
Jonathan and Adrian are back together to discuss some campaign guides for Et sans resultat. The duo share their thoughts on what they like and what they think can be improved (the salt flies here) with the following books:
Note: Didn’t Dare Do Anything and The most awful situation are review copies provided by The Wargaming Company who is also a sponsor of the show.
