Miniatures

The second Geek Girls Rule! Podcast: An interview with Sherry Yeary, Privateer Press President.

We talk about the history of the company, their new product Monsterpocalypse, Hordes, their female characters and minis, and the furor over the Agonizer.

So, I didn't really know where to place this. Is it a blog entry? Is it a story? Who knows.

At any rate, I wanted to ask the Gamer Chicks about painting miniatures. How many of you paint your own minis? Do any of you have a company you prefer over others? How long have you been painting? Are there painting tips to offer? Do you have a book title or two to throw out to the newbies (i.e. me).

It was the fastest four days I've experienced in a while, but it was a really good time. This was probably the hardest GenCon to have to leave, and I think that says a lot about the direction of the industry and the potential impact that groups like GamerChicksRule.com can have.

I am very much inclined to like Privateer Press for many reasons, great games, wonderful customer service, high quality metal minis, and last but certainly not least, the Page 5 philosophy. It's what really won me over to Warmachine.

Now at first glance the Page 5 philosophy feels a bit misogynistic, and makes Warmachine out to be a boys only club.

In which I talk about an awesome mini-wargame I play as well as share my woes of lost parts for a commission I was working on for someone else.

My husband got me into miniature war gaming about a year ago. I am not too good at tactics but I really enjoy painting and showing off a faboo army. I got enough attention that I started getting commissions from the local gamers to paint their armies for them.
