They sure do... and lots of other hobby goodness too. The reviews are great, totally unbiased and fair to what's being criticised. Chris has a long history as a miniature painter, and
plenty of knowledge to go with it! He was once a professional painter for Reaper's Miniature line, and therefore knows how to paint display quality models. His painting style is somewhat traditional - he uses lots of layering, drybrushing, feathering, etc, and is certainly the kind of person you'd want to learn from if you aren't looking to aribrush. (Check out awesomepaintjob and girlpainting for that!)
They put out motivational, sometimes religious videos from time-to-time, but it's their channel and it doesn't bother me at all. Their "Let's Paint" DVD's are availiable to purchase online by email, but when I asked if they'd do downloads he said that it was something they were working on. Things to check on the channel:
-
How to Paint a Blood Angel ...One of their first videos.
-
Let's Paint Tyranids ...A freebie that they put out!
-
Cool Mini or Not? Painting Secrets with Natalya ...This one's really funny! Chris is slightly out of charecter here.
-
Wood Elves Project ...Recently re-launched. Chris wants to get it done before the end of 2010.
...and lots more.
What's to remember is that, although he can paint miniatures, he can actually communicate on what he's doing. Teaching someone what you know is
never as easy as learning it. See the Natalya video above and you'll get what I mean!
Thanks Dakka - Cosmic.
