Resurgence Recap

Despite trials and tribulations, we had a fantastic tournament down in Manhattan! Our local Press-Ganger Nick did a fantastic job not only organizing and promoting this tournament, but also of keeping everyone happy and having fun.

Here's Matt: "I don't use layering, I always 2-brush wet blend" Say what now? "It's sort of the Privateer style" he explained. I was asking him about how the smooth blends on the red Skorn armor was achieved when the areas were so small and surrounded by gold trim. His answer sounded impossible to my ears. When I first started painting models, I was surprised by how quickly the paint dried, and found that I couldn't make smoothly shaded areas as easily as I would have with oil paints on a canv
