[EA][WM] The Iron Painter's Blog
« on: July 04, 2012, 05:05:58 AM »
I'm new to the boards here but I've been painting for 15 some years. I wanted to direct everyone to a little blog of mine I just started. Current projects are as follows:

[EPIC] Crimson Fist Space Marine Company
[WM] Vampire Counts Army
[WM] Lizardman Army

Please keep checking daily for updates. Would love to hear your comments as well. Thanks!

Jonathan.....

Epic is actually commonly seen as 6 mm.....  just a heads up.

The marines look really nice, particularly the Warden.

Have you considered basing them on the newer (long thin) bases, it's just personal preference but I think they let you see the figures better and give a less uniform structure to the squads (the holes aren't all in line).

Is Warmaster 10mm? I didn't break out my ruler, but I may just have to! Thanks for the heads up, much appreciated.

I considered it, but I wanted sort of regimented units... I don't have the actual rule-set but what is most commonly used? Long thin or square 5's? Are both viable in-game?

Nice job! WM is indeed 10mm, although the GW sculpts tend toward the "heroic 10mm" (i.e. close to 12)

Both base sizes are game-legal (the rules for basing are fairly flexible). Most people seem to use the long-thin bases (that's what the figures come with now) but it's not unusual to see square and round bases. Long-thin bases migh offer a slight in-game advantage in that they'd allow you to cover more ground (units have a 'zone of control' of 5cm which can't be entered without going into combat).

If I got hold of Tyranids, or was using Orks, I might use the round 25mm bases to show how rag-tag my units are - even if it's a disadvantage.  But I find the long thin strips so much easier to paint then the square ones, so I use them for my space wolves. = )

[Update] New Post on my blog. Check here:

http://theironpainter.blogspot.com/

I will update now every day, at least once, perhaps twice. I had an issue with a camera battery so there has been no activity since I started the blog. That all has been fixed. Thank you all for looking, please feel free to leave comments so I know what I can do better.
