Stuff like this is like pornography for me, except I can look at it all day. Anyone know of a good website for cool miniature arrangements or dioramas?

I think that's the idea behind the Visions magazine. It's just a whole bunch of cinematic shots of their minis along with ones readers painted. I eventually just started thinking of the old White Dwarf as Warhammer porn myself so the new mag makes total sense to me.

I've been thinking for a while myself that people need to start doing more cinematic shots of their minis. Look at the gallery and the painting forum, they're all just being presented as minis and not the characters they're sculpted to be.

You sir have inspired me to start doing just that and hopefully more will follow suit. But to answer your question, I guess the only source I can think of would be the Visions magazine.

edit; actually, get on coolminiornot and just search diorama, there's loads of them. I don't know why I didn't think of that as I typed out my last answer..

I agree. Nice work on putting those together. Did you use mini's of more tan one scale to fake the distance portrayed in the images , BigP?

Not really. From what I've seen none of the photos are particularly cinematic or impressive. It's just catalog shots of GW models on standard GW terrain.

Whereas Big P's stuff is pretty impressive!

Crablezworth has a really inspirational thread going on here

Having picked up the first copy of WHV I was disappointed tbh. Not particularly inspirational.

Looks more like forced perspective to me.

I like to do edits in my battle reports to give more of a cinematic vibe, but its all with a point and click camera and photoshop.
