Hair-o-matic

This tool was born from a valid need I had back in the days I was painting unit after unit of dwarves, each of them a solid block of 20-40 models. The dwarves have magnificent facial hair and they started to look like clones if I made all their beards the same colour.

But how do you choose a colour for each of the beards?

As I have an academic training in random number generation I new very well that when a human being is asked to choose a bunch of random numbers he will select poorly based on some subconscious pattern.

So I geeked-out (that was a meta-geekout considering I was already painting geeky miniatures) and wrote a script to truly randomise hair colours.

Now, 16 years later, the script has been refurbished and you are welcomed to use it for your mass-painting needs.

Most fantasy and SF wargames are accused of being nothing more than glorified dice games. Whether this is true or not, dice are really the number one game pieces you will hold in your hand. They better be good then! The new dice from GW are great - if you handle them right, that is. »

These are the most common types of walls. Should you paint them with a textured paint? Use a texture paste? Or maybe just paint the surface using stippling? »
