@tabletopminis I was told I should post here by @ReadyUser31

I’m new to painting miniatures, but I’ve been playing DnD for a long time. Recently I’ve been 3d printing and painting my own miniatures. I’m not great at painting and unfortunately I’m trying to keep pace with the campaign I’m running. Here are some examples.

    They look fantastic!

    I got my family into playing D&D a few years ago. My wife, who is also an artist, has gotten swept up in painting miniatures. She likes the videos by Dr Faust on Youtube. Dr Faust goes from basic methods all the way up to layering and more advanced methods.

      My wife’s dex bonus is much higher than mine. I’d love to get her painting my minis, but the way she goes about her hobbies I’m sure we’d have GW’s entire catalogue delivered to our front door the following week. 😆

        Vallejo makes really good paints. Game Color is another good company.

        They can be expensive, but they last a very long time and look great. I purchased a 75 color set of Vallejo, when my wife went full in on painting, 4 years ago. We still use it today. It was expensive, but I’ve not had to invest that much since. Just replacing the more heavily used paints once in a while.
