Paint Perspective - Miniature Painting Podcast

It's that time of the year where Games Workshop release some new battleforces for Warhammer, but are these huge army boxes actually worth it? This week we discuss our experiences over the year from painting, and how we would take what we have learned to starting a new army (using one of these sets). We also go through each of the boxes to give you some tips for which ones are a good buy, and whats worth a miss...
Also in this episode, we tackle our question of the week about sustainability in the hobby, go through the latest hobby news, and of course share our Hobby Hack which this week is all about painting metallics!
