Keep in mind I am new to all this within the past months :)
You're NEW TO THIS? I've been painting em for years and mine don't look this good!
edit: After reading through your techniques, I probably use too much paint. And probably don't do enough dry brushing of slightly different colors. I tend to use three base colors: a base color, a shadow wash, and a dry brushed highlight. I probably don't do enough dry brushing with a slightly different shade. I tend to go with a sharp highlight contrast dry brush, and then mute that with a wash. Probably not the best.
I too use those cheap craft store paints ("It's not the paint that matters; it's the technique," I've always believed.)
I like the soaking of the skellys in hot water to bend them back into shape. I have few of the minis throughout the games that need re-adjusting. I'll have to try this. (And the cold water bath afterwards.)
Thanks for the tips! maybe I'll break these out and paint them!
