There is a real sense of job satisfaction to seeing a finished army on the tabletop, their colours shining in the summer sun. However, most of us don't have 'Eavy Metal standard painting abilities, so we don't tend to get the models matching the mental image we hae of how we'd like them to look. Here you'll find some articles from guys I consider to be experts in the field - hopefully, theyll be of some use to you as you strive to improve your painting and converting.
