Chest of Colors forum

yes, serious lack of contrast

The guy who painted these is actually very talented (IMO). I know these pieces aren't up to his usal great standard. Tommie Soule is his net handle, or real name I dunno. I am a fan of his work typically.

That`s funny, why a company doesn`t want a painter to do his best? The want to sell as much as possible and I assume that nicely painted minis sell better.

because they don't have money? don't think it's a good investment?

I think they do have some money. They got Alessio Cavatore to write the rules for their game...

or maybe that's where all their money went, no budget for painters anymore

I don`t think so, also I don`t think that painting 3 miniatures (previous batch) costs that much, $200-$300? From they image I assume they want to be world wide known GW-alternative company.

There were few companies that had weird business logic and most of them were french They probably just want to be a cheaper GW copy.

Good that we have lots of other companies

Well i guess that some less known painters would do a better job with just a few miniatures has payments

quite a few companies got some good paintjobs just in exchange for minis

and why don't they announce a contest with prizes being boxes of their minis, and reserving the right of using images for their store/announcement/boxart?
ideas are many, and I don't believe they didn't have them. they probably chose not to use good paintjobs. maybe they're afraid they might scare gamers away?

Maybe they are not inclined to glue the company to high standarts of painting... and just average gamming TTpainting is just fine for them.
