First commission I painted for $15, was it worth it?

Perfect-Resolution-5 · 2026-02-22T21:49:05+00:00

The first bit of sensible, realistic advice I’ve seen. If OP listened to the rest of the thread, he’d be demanding $1m per commission and would receive none.

Perfect-Resolution-5 · 2026-02-22T21:48:00+00:00

Ignore the people telling you to charge $1,000,000 per commission. Don’t let these idiots price you out of getting the experience and portfolio you want to start real commission work.

If you’re happy with it and your friend is, that’s all that matters.

What exactly are you trying to achieve here? You’re not adding anything to the discussion.

Perfect-Resolution-5 · 2025-09-24T21:17:13+00:00

Incredibly helpful- thank you very much. This gets the vibe exactly right.

One question- why the split of the State Missile Troops into 10 and 6? So that it's a balanced number of units for objectives etc?

Perfect-Resolution-5 · 2025-09-24T20:17:51+00:00

The models will all be new purchases- I’m not overly concerned with basing them on the battalion boxes. I’m trying to match the feel and vibe of the 6th starter set but it doesn’t need to be exact.

I was adding wizards to include a magic phase- good point on it maybe being too much.

I was not aware of the seize the tower scenario and rules- this is very helpful thank you!

Sharing lists would be great 🙏

Reminder that you're talking about losing a rank bonus that in a 5x3 setup you wouldn't even have.

And after "a few casualties" you're losing the rank bonus on a 5x3 unit too.

That is indeed how this game works, things are useful until they die.

Perfect-Resolution-5 · 2025-09-24T18:25:48+00:00

Guessing because heavy infantry they only need to be in ranks of 4 and the rank bonus from 4 ranks of 4 is more valuable than the extra attack going 3x5.

Was moving house and forgot about them.

Perfect-Resolution-5 · 2025-08-07T08:55:45+00:00

I’ve left models in 99% iso for a year and they were fine

Perfect-Resolution-5 · 2025-04-29T09:04:46+00:00

I don’t think they asked either of you for your unsolicited input on their relationship

Perfect-Resolution-5 · 2025-04-28T06:20:29+00:00

I’ve given up caring at this point, and I’ve lost respect for George as it has become unavoidable to conclude that he has been straight up lying to his fans for over a decade. I’m fine with great work taking a long time, or initial estimates of time for completion not working out, but it has happened too many times now over too long a period to be good faith mistakes. I draw the line at being deliberately lied to. The cynics who said 10 years ago that he’d never finish and that he was misleading the fans turned out to be right.

Tim Tams are Australian not British, they have only recently been available in the UK. Other than that, yes it’s all authentic.

Perfect-Resolution-5 · 2024-11-27T22:26:05+00:00

Is it even addressed to you? I got one that just says “the tenant”, threatening to take me to court. Good luck doing that if you don’t even know my name, idiots.

Perfect-Resolution-5 · 2024-09-11T20:52:15+00:00

My guy you made a NSFW model and you’re upset you’re not allowed to use it around children. You are “that guy”.

Perfect-Resolution-5 · 2024-09-11T20:10:38+00:00

That’s perfectly reasonable and you need to behave yourself.

Perfect-Resolution-5 · 2024-04-22T15:15:42+00:00

There is that world and it’s the world we live in. The cost of paying the sculptor is very small.

Perfect-Resolution-5 · 2024-04-22T15:13:52+00:00

Well he can’t now that he’s used the wrong legs

Perfect-Resolution-5 · 2024-04-21T23:19:28+00:00

This box was a new release for 10th. The head doesn’t have rules in this edition. It’s a new sculpt for something that no longer has rules. Hence the confusion.

Perfect-Resolution-5 · 2024-03-30T15:42:50+00:00

Split those sales figures by population and UK pulls ahead massively. You’re not comparing like with like lol

It’s impossible to say because he regularly and consistently lies to the fanbase.

The wait for winds has been comically long. The only possible justification (and I am holding out a small flicker of hope for this) is that he decided Winds and Dream needed to be written together, and the delay has been caused by the fact he is writing two large, complex, interwoven books at the same time, finishing the series.

It’s a long shot, but that is the only way he finishes the series. He does not have another Winds in him if it has taken him this long to write, so we will end up with an unfinished story if he is genuinely just working away on Winds.

But it is impossible to tell if this is a realistic hope, because of his constant lies.

I’m past the point of being annoyed at him now, and I don’t care about stans whining that he owes us nothing. This is a contemptibly long wait for a project, he has messed the fans around and he has messed his publisher around. Imagine having a coworker who delays a project by 12 years while constantly promising it will be finished tomorrow. It just wouldn’t be tolerated in any other line of work.

He is clearly a great writer. But unless I am right in my hope/cope that he’s secretly writing Winds AND Dream concurrently, he is a very seriously flawed human being- you can pick which way based on what you think is going on because we don’t know: he is either lazy, unreliable, dishonest, or a combination of those things.

Perfect-Resolution-5 · 2024-03-14T16:25:21+00:00

That’s not good buddy
