Soapbox Article By Dave Haysom
...having a painted army was one of the best parts of this hobby - but hardly any of us actually had a painted army...after asking around some more people, this was the case with all of us. Why?
The most common reply was that they liked every model painted to perfection, even the lowliest foot trooper. If it wasn't perfect, they didn't like it. I have called this common disease " 'Eavy Metal Syndrome," and it can be picked up by staring at pages of studio miniatures for too long.
The other problem is timidness - people are apprehensive to paint up any major characters, vehicles, (war machines) or important squads, as they are worried that they will mess up the whole thing up, and regret it.
The new 'Eavy Metal "How to Paint..." pages are definately helping to combat these problems, with step-by-step guides to painting models to a good standard that we can hope to achieve.
I know you've heard this countless times before, but I'm going to say it again anyway - well painted models, combined with good looking scenert make any battle far more enjoyable.
