i got the foundry book its not very good. its better than the GW one but it still doesn’t give you competition winning techniques. Its just a rank and file/commander gaming painting book.
no, its another company that produces minatures, u know like how Panasonic and Phillips both produce 48*inch tv’s. . .Same shit different smell basicaly speaking
“Wargames Foundry” is the full name of the company that produces the figures, the book shown in the video and some wargames rules.
I know that TheWarStore has copies (if you’re in the US), but it is a tad expensive (though I think it’s worth every penny!)
When you mentioned war games foundry, is that another type of board game?
this exist in pdf version? I’m a very poor man right now
(really)
if your going to throw it away send it me lol, nice review dude!
where can i get the kevin dalimor book?
“Everbody out their loves games workshop but me.”
No, i think most people are in your camp with that one buddy
good work AGP:)
the new gw one is great i think the older one isnt as good but defently the new one is better
Thats right the new book has an elf
Get well soon
I’ve got the GW book, the newer version of that book and also the Foundry book just recently, and I think the older GW book is definitely the weaker of the three. I think what GW tend to do is aim their painting books at the people who are starting out and JUST at that level, not really going any further in order not to “confuse” people. With the standard of painters GW currently have (such as Darren Latham) writing the White Dwarf Masterclasses, I’m sure they could make a far better book.
That Foundry book looks awesome -I’m going to order it!
Thanks for the review!
where did you get the foundry armory book?
i want to get this book so bad but its so hard to find outside of the USA!
The Foundry book is fantastic and Amazon actually carries it now for around $26. Also note, Kevin Dallimore is a great guy who will happily answer any questions you send him.
Thanks for the review, take care
I must agree with you on the GW book and the foundry book I don’t know. Nice vid, I always wondered about some painting books but I never got myself one since I always thought you have to try, instead of read. That’s how you learn it, but these books are incredibly useful for beginner painters. You might see some more comments from me on other vids of you:)
Hi there. It depends on which definition of “Wash” you use. There is a lot of confusion about Washes, Inks, and Glazes in the mini world. Generally speaking, a “wash” is considered simply painting with very thin paints (almost transparent). I do use washes in this regard.
However, if the definition of a “wash” that you’re using suggests covering the figure with thinned paint to “shade” the model, then no, I do not do that.
I’ll be discussing this in more detail in an upcoming DVD.
Hi, I was just wondering if you use washes on your miniatures. A lot of people said that you can get great results if using washes one your miniatures. I don’t know if I should use washes.
lol its oginized like a childrens book lol im laughing my face off.
Definitely i agree, even with the new GW book, some things do look a little rushed…. Again like i said, its king of hard to make out in the vid, It just looked like a bleached bone highlight, with seems to be GW’s end’s all highlighting color, but can be very effective when viewed from a distance.. you should check out their new book, I think its a lot better than the old one, and please no-one look at White-dwarf for painting tips unless you play space marines. GW loves space marines.
The new book is setup alot better. It covers the new paints and the new washes. Plus the GW book is aimed for a nice tabletop army. If you want a book for a very nice display model I like(and own, it is a hard-cover book) the Forge World book Imperial Armour: Model Masterclass vol. 1. It retails for about $50 ant I think is well worth it.
