Sure enough, David -- I subscribe to James' blog. I've been studying his NMM, and I have yet to figure out how to do it, even though it appears to be a relatively simple approach. I'm just not getting my colors right.

But, yes, I'm a fan of his style, which strikes the middle zone between high tabletop standard and display standard -- right where I want to be! I saw a lot of his work in person at Adepticon 2013 earlier this year. He won two Crystal Brushes, if I recall. I took a lot of pics of his Tomb Kings army.

Cheers, and welcome back to WAMP!

good luck with your skaven horde, we had problems found poison bait traps best. Failing that find a local with some ratting dogs.
how are you finding life in your new home, do you speak fluent french?

David,
I hope you and yours are settleing in over in france, I hope you can get your paints out soon we still need to get you painting that army.

Crawling the forums is indeed addictive. I like that term, "displacement activity". I find that if I don't start painting by 8:00 or 8:30, it doesn't happen. Recognizing that tendency helps me make a go/no-go decision. That way, I know I"m making a conscious decision instead of letting it slip by me, which makes me feel guilt.y Ultimately, of course, it's supposed to be a relaxing hobby and not one that self-imposes more stress on ourselves. But, hey, it's a different kind of stress -- a kind of tongue-in-cheek stress, if you will. It doesn't count as much as real stress. In any case, that's just me. As for you, get off your duff and paint! I want to see more pictures of painted minis! ;-)

Ah, yes. I wanted to thank you for making a substantive contribution to WAMP, but I didn't have time at the time to listen to the program. Thanks for sending the link. I saved it so that I can listen to it during my next painting session (hopefully tonight!). I read a similar account in the book "Gun, Germs, and Steel".

I missed that, David. But thanks for thinking of me. Any chance you could send me the link via message?

Best,

your up late, not sleeping or are you a night worker (or left you comp on)

I love WAB to me it was just WFB without the magic and as a dwarf player that is how I play anyway. I spent a few years playing loads of WAB comps got to know a load of great guys in fact Martin Gibbons (who reworked WAB2.0) was a regular oppo. I would go with WAB with going abroad because its the easiest to pick up and you will always find some one who plays GW games anywhere in the world.
