Show Description:

This episode hopes to inspire you to give painting miniatures a try. I start with a motivational speech and then launch into equipment you need to paint your game pieces. I follow that with a brief description of the basics of painting miniatures and include a few of the most popular techniques.

A few years ago I taught myself to paint game pieces. It’s not the best paint jobs you will ever see but it just goes to show you that any average joe with a bit of time and effort, can paint a pretty decent set of game pieces.
