Really enjoy painting the minatures. Helps me relax and de-stress. Slowly learning the art as have never tried it before.

Learning by doing- best thing you can do. If you want to glean some tips from others who have already done the same, try searching the net for some miniature painting guides.
I've painted my undead, and I let my wife cut her teeth on the Heroes of my second set, as well as the Goblins, Orcs, and Fimirs. God bless her for throwin' in. :D

OK the people who say they paint their own body instead? Post pix.

Coming from a wargaming background, it just seems natural to paint your plastics, I've only painted up my Sir Ragnar model so far, what do you think guys ......

I've started to paint everything. Only just finished 1 goblin, 1 mummy, and working on a fimir, plus some D&D mini's too, but I'm planning on doing them all. Plus more mini's from warhammer as additions.
Check out my YouTube channel Boardgame Heaven, and drop me a sub please!
