My thoughts exactly. For Warfare we will need access to all of the minis in the range. Save for the Heroes in the scenarios boxes.

I figured that moving trays should be a no brainier for this game. All grids are same size and units are small. Has anyone made any yet? They would also be a BA way of displaying your units while not using them. Like a mini diorama.

So I opened the box not knowing what to expect. First thing I noticed was how each miniature was in its own little zip bag. I find that odd because none of the online reviews I saw mentioned that. I do see how the poses of a lot of the minis are too far forward like they are tripping and falling. My first gripe is how soft the plastic/rubber is that these minis are made of. But I have to say that the sculpts are top notch! I am going to start with the minis primed the way that they come right out oF the box. I figure most of us will just start that way, and why risk losing detail over another basecoat of primer. Step 1: cut a hole in the box, take your zombies out of the box then make her open the box.

There needs to be lots of pics posted after the event.

It's going to be interesting to see how different our armies turn out. I think your minis are the beat I've seen on this forum so far

Keep em comin. I'm doing my first unit tonight.

Much appreciated

I totally dig the 3D terrain. It's going to be awesome.

I really like your Recon Grenadiers. Did you try to pair most of the units to look like the box pictures?

Is the size that I posted the pics large enough (400x299) or should I post the new pictures up larger?

I'm going to do them a bit dramatic. I'm doing them tonight after my wife gives me the blessing.

Well, I couldn't wait until Thursday for my Dust minis to arrive. So I went out an bout a box of Axis Zombies. I'll detail the steps and processes.

I really appreciate you guys commenting. Ive always like the flamboyant style myself, mainly because it demonstrates a level that most gamers and hobbyists can't paint to. Plus, when I worked for GW it was a requisite for the master class level. And the Golden Demon basically requires it to be competitive. Across a battlefield the darker models look monochromatic to me, because I am almost completely color blind. But I have to say its going to be a lot faster to paint with the washes and stuff for the darker colors. Anyone know a wash that doesn't completely darken a model?

And here's a side by side of Dark Vs. Flamboyant. Which should I paint my Dust minis in?

Here is my flamboyant stylE

Heres are the guardsmen in the darker style too

I have been reading various forums on painting lately, because I haven't painted in a few years. It seems like most gamers prefer a dark and dirty look. I am of a different school of thought. I have always been one to paint in a very flamboyant style. The reasoning is that the flamboyant minis catch more attention from other gamers at tournaments, and frankly they look BA from across a 4 foot table. I think the details jump across the table and look the best. Either technique looks good close up. I haven't started painting my Dust minis because I am trying to settle on a style first. Here is the dark an washed look I see most people preferrin lately on some IG figs I painted today.

Hahaha, good to know. I'm doing this from my iPhone. Whats the best dimensions to scale them down to?

And here's a side by side

Here's another example

Here is my typical style

Here's some guardsmen.

Dude, your paint jobs are ridiculous. And I totally dig the bases too. I can't wait to get my hands on my minis. UPS says they should arrive Thursday an I can't wait.
