Paint scheme for my Wood Elves

Thought I'd share my color pallet for this project with our readers. I'd also like to mention how much I enjoy using GW's new washes. Devlan Mud does about everything and all of them seem to have a just about perfect pigment to water ratio.

Share your workspace (or workspace tricks)


You know how people share workspaces on lifehacker? I thought it'd be a cool idea to share our workspaces (however 'neat' or 'messy' they may be) and comment on what works for us. Recently I moved into a new place with an odd feature. I have a small spare room off of my main bedroom that I managed to fit a twin bed into. Being an avid producer (check out my music here) and hobbyist I needed to find a way to make room for both digital and analog projects, but I still wanted it to be a space to hang out (considering the bed is out of the picture as it is and we don't have a living room per say).
I found my answer in a couch/table combo that serves as a desk and a comfortable spot to listen to some music or watch a movie. I can slide the monitor over and the keyboard back when it comes time to get into some painting or modeling. After I'm done I can quickly pack away my organizers that hold my tools, supplies, and bits into my closet.
I want to invite all my readers and fellow FTW members to share your workspaces, or workspace tricks, in the comments section. Even better make a post on your blog and link over to it.

Pictures of my Explorator Magos

Over the next few weeks or months I'll be sharing some pictures of my Adeptus Mechanicus force with my readers. For this first round, I present to you my counts-as "Commissar Yarrick" (and Explorator Magos). This conversion comes entirely from my bits box... makes me realize how deep its gotten. Let me know what you think of him!
