Retinopathy. And my hands used to work much better. It's hard to be enthused when you know you can't physically improve.

I have never entirely given it up, but taken months-long breaks from time to time. Anything from illness, to other hobbies, to complete apathy over the figures. After collecting and painting for 30+ years you start seeing too many similar figures, often from artists who've been in the industry for 40+ years. Having a game group who enjoys using figures and needs new ones from time to time has really helped.

Had that olive sample, too. Mine finally kicked it a year or two ago. It was an awesome base color for grassy ground. And walnut brown. The MSP version just isn't the same. I have a few pots left that might be usable, but I think most have solidified or separated beyond saving.

Ah, that was an old favorite. Mine has long since dried up though.

They look nice.

Looking good. I find the bones statues need a metal base to help keep them from toppling.

Certain to strike fear into the hearts of even the sturdiest heroes. Good job!

Pretty cool spellcaster figure, and nice paint job.

"Hi Everyone, It has been quite a while since I posted an update about any of Dark Fable Miniatures upcoming projects. Unfortunately, I became very ill back in January and was diagnosed with cancer. Since that time everything pretty much ground to a halt while I have been receiving chemotherapy treatment. Slowly but surely I have started to recover and gain my strength back and now feel ready to launch a Kickstarter project soon. Well over a year ago Dark Fable purchased the rights and moulds to a number of lines from Otherworld miniatures, including the Evil Cultists. We wanted to rerelease these excellent miniatures and have some new moulds made for them to produce some really nice crisp clean castings. We also asked the original sculptor of these miniatures, Kev Adams, to make some new additions to the Evil Cultist line. These new sets have all been completed and will soon be sent to the mould maker. I wanted to give everyone who supported our last kickstarter a heads up before we launch Evil Cultist project - although I do not have an exact date yet it will probably be in a week or so. If you have any questions please message me - Thank you! Mike"

There's a facebook trading group. You'll have to search for it, I'm not a member and didn't note the exact name and address, only the existence of it.

Nice details.

I suspect they are flushing carts so people can't camp on them for days before buying them. They have done this in the past.

Whoo! Got my shipping notice. Now to figure out which ones DH wanted. Archeoptl - Bases: Square one Cuetzpal Gold Coin two Large skulls kit one Small skulls kit one Tlemiahuatl 1 - Bases: Square one Tlemiahuatl 2 - Bases: Square one Tlemiahuatl babies - Bases: Square two Tonatiuh, Coatl whisperer - Bases: Square

I don't know if we'll go again this year, but I can confirm that the food was good and the portions very generous last year. And you do need a car to get there.

Nope. Then it becomes a chore, not a hobby. I don't even paint minis for friends. And nobody wants to pay what your time is worth.

Those look very good.

Anticipation is half the fun. In my mind it's "Reapercon is only 2.5 months away!" [flails muppet arms]

Don't forget the hotel has a pretty nice pool, whether you like to swim or just want a quiet place to relax. I took one afternoon off and just hung out there. There is an indoor and an outdoor version.

No, I can't find faction choices anywhere on Growtix, the Reapercon site (which is nearly devoid of con information) or in the email. But you can change/choose when you pick up your badge. And choosing a side doesn't stop you from giving points to another faction if you want.

Drunk and wide awake is rarely good combination. Someone already embarrassed themselves last year. I'm hoping to get a lot out of this class.

2 per day (or even 1 per day) is a good number if you want to spend any time visiting the vendor area, the art show, the factory, socializing, visiting artists row, playing games, or going to social dinners with new friends. Vendor hall closes at 6, so does the art show. The tour of the Reaper factory takes about 2 hours. There are opportunities during the day to do paint-and-take and play paint related games in the main hall, first come first served. I try to leave time to do one a day. Do you need to have meals on a regular schedule or is grabbing a power bar and a soda more your thing? Are you the kind of person who jumps out of bed early and hits the ground running? Lots of classes a no breaks might be ok for you. Are you the kind of person who gets overwhelmed by crowds, noise, confusion and too much information? Fewer classes and more breaks might be more your speed.

That's a pretty good deal for a bunch of nice looking figures and terrain objects.

Very, very well done. If you have not already, please consider entering our annual large scale figure contest (you can find the link in the contest section of the forum).

I'm down for some peegasi. Cute gets me every time.
