I have been reading various forums on painting lately, because I haven't painted in a few years. It seems like most gamers prefer a dark and dirty look. I am of a different school of thought. I have always been one to paint in a very flamboyant style. The reasoning is that the flamboyant minis catch more attention from other gamers at tournaments, and frankly they look BA from across a 4 foot table. I think the details jump across the table and look the best. Either technique looks good close up.

I haven't started painting my Dust minis because I am trying to settle on a style first.

Here is the dark an washed look I see most people preferrin lately on some IG figs I painted today.

I think you need to set up the resolution for your pics. I can't see a thing apart from some sword and bolter:D

Whats the best dimensions to scale them down to?

Give the images a width of 640px.

Much appreciated
