Hey all,
Thanks for the positive feedback on the figs, greatly appreciated!
I do use miniatures for all of my RPG games. I am a miniature gamer first and foremost to be honest, so I almost
need to have some miniature project to play miniature games...
I have also met a single person that absolutely refuses to play RPGs with miniatures. That guy is crazy though
Some RPGers just don't use them because they feel no need. But most, and especially D&D 3.5 players, use them all the time; D&D 3.5 almost makes them a requirement (no doubt to push Wizard's line of pre-painted D&D figs). But yeah, I like to use them for combat, as I am not the most skilled DM out there and it helps me keep things under control!
As to the question of what colours I used for the red, it was Iron Wind Metals Red-Brown (that colour is fantastic!), highlighted up to Iron Wind Metals red, and then a final highlight of 1 parts white to four part red.
Thanks again for the feedback
