This is a mailing list for anyone interested in the wonderful hobby of collecting and painting metal miniatures. This list will primarily focus on individual miniatures, and not on painting large groups, e.g. WH40K armies. There are many other fine groups out there to cover that topic. Topics can (and should) include: painting, conversions, questions, techniques, and general discussion on who makes the best mini's. Topics that are forbidden at the current time: army list discussions, army color schemes, any rules questions of any kind, flaming, bashing, name-calling, offensive language, online store griping, and the casting of copyrighted miniatures. Please respect these guidelines, it will make the list better for everyone involved. Members not abiding by these guidelines will be warned to cease their activies, and will be removed from the list by the moderator(s) if their behavior does not change. This group is by nature non-commercial. We encourage a free atmosphere of discussion regarding new miniature releases and painting materials, but direct sales of miniatures and related supplies on the list or to list members is not permitted. Advertising of online auctions is not allowed. Please email the moderator if you have questions.
