I ordered two Star Wars Imperial Assault Jabba's Realm expansions and one of my rancors was missing it's base I emailed FF to see if I could get the missing base. I was wondering also if any one had any trouble with the rancor miniature putting dents in the hero sheets from packaging issues and the sculpture's spiky bits? Both of my expansions had dents on the Shyla Varad heroes sheets due to the rancor sculpt being all spiky.

I had the same thing happen to my Shyla card. However, I had previously dented my own Davith card by writing something with a pen on top of it so at least now I have a matching set.

I am pleased to inform you all that FF is sending me my missing Rancor base. There customer service has always been exceptional. Thank you Fantasy Flight!!!

I just realized that my Mak Eshka'rey looks like Mr green jeans from Captain Kangaroo

Same thing on my Shyla card. So, they might send me one, since it seems to be a systemic issue then. Nice!

They did replace my card but it also had the same problem with the dents. It's ok, they don't show up once sleeved

Sleeved? There are sleeves I can use for the sheets? Where do I get those???

I use postcard sleeves. You can find them on Amazon.

These are what I use for the hero cards for the campaign. They fit perfectly on the card like a surgeons glove.

I ran some excel magic and did a count of each of the Citadel paints. This way you know which ones Sorastro uses most - and which ones are the most important to buy.

I missed Bugman's Glow - 12

I just placed a large order for paint and was looking for a list like this. Thank you! Its too late for me this time around, but i'll reference it before my next order.

Well here is my first ever attempt at painting miniatures. I guess they turned out ok but I would like the line work to be a bit thinner and cleaner.

Some lessons learned and things I have taken away from this experience are, first off slow down and take your time. For some reason I was in a rush to get all my Troopers done. When you rush you make mistakes. You also will not take the time to fix those mistakes if you feel rushed. Those mistakes will drive you crazy later on if you let them go. No one else will probably notice them but in the back of your mind you will know that they are there and they will haunt you.

Second check your work. I don’t know how many times that I would go to the next step in the painting process and find something I missed in the previous step. You can always stop and fix but it’s a lot easier to fix something before you start the next step.

Third, let it dry! Don’t be in such a hurry that your layers can’t dry. Try to work on something else while you let your paint layers dry. This is where having multiple miniatures to work on comes in handy. Work in an assembly line fashion and by the time you’re done with a layer on the last miniature the first or previous miniature’s paint work should be dry enough to start on the next coat.

Fourth, have everything that you need handy and all the paint colors that you will need laid out. I know this sounds like a no brainer but you will be surprised at how easy this can be to overlook. This includes all reference pictures.

Fifth, it’s not the end of the world if you make a mistake. I know I sound hypocritical after what I said previously about my rushed way of working but you can either fix the mistake or if worse comes to worst strip off the paint and start over.

And finally the thicker your layers the more detail in the casting of the miniature you will lose. Try to keep your layers thin and to a minimum.

One thing not to forget if you like to photograph your miniatures is the camera will distort the proportions of the miniature and magnify any defects you don’t like in your work. So don’t be too disappointed or hard on yourself if you miniatures don’t look perfect in your photos.

Well that’s what I found on my first go at painting miniatures. I hope my work improves as I continue to paint. I know this may be common sense to most but I hope this helps some of you out there that are first timers like me or those on the fence about painting to take the leap.

So feel free to offer some constructive criticism and add some good pointers for first time painters.

I'm just starting out myself. I've only painted three Stormtroopers so far. One thing that I noticed is, while applying the Gloss Varnish, when I applied it to the areas that have Nuln Oil, it tends to look off. Someone suggested to me that I only apply the varnish to the raised areas as this is where the light would hit naturally. Just something to think about. I'm going to give it a go with my next Stormtrooper.
