Book of Arcanium

Okay, its just a fancy name for "Links" which you have to admit sounds boring, but is always useful. Here secrets will be revealed - links to amazing tutorials found across the net, if I get time I may include one or two of my own. Discover some new techniques and have a go at applying them in your own work, its always fun learning something new and even better if it works out great first time. Beyond tutorials there will be reviews of miniature and non miniature related products - art books, training dvd's, music, games etc. You get the picture I am sure. Hinton on Cool Mini Or Not has kindly allowed me to post his Random Geek video reviews here as well, just don't say the "R(esin)" word. Sssh, I said don't say it! Anyway, I do hope you find something of use here.

FREE E-Zines!

Lately I have been coming across a few freebie zines online and thought that it might be useful to link them here. I hope you find them enjoyable.

Miniature Turnarounds

I thought it would be a great idea to get some videos of miniatures on the blog as well as pictures. I will be keeping a look out for high quality paintjobs and adding them here as soon as I find them. We start off with some paintjobs by "Freeman" - the amazingly talented Joaquin Palacious and "Alezi_Z", the equally amazing Natalya Melnik, multiple slayer sword and Golden Demon winner.
