It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s  . . . . a bartender? Hey guys, it’s Caleb with White Metal Games here, with a question on my mind. A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of attending the Southern Front Con in North Raleigh as a vendor.  It was the first show I’ve ever […]

Four episodes in and War Council is finally finding it’s rhythm.Greetings Fellow Wargamers!  Caleb with  White Metal Games here. War Council is a joint venture between myself and a buddy of mine, Justin Jones. After having listened to plenty of podcasts about 40k, we wondered aloud to each other ‘Do we have anything to add to the ongoing […]

See this model?  This one below?  I used to build these all the time.It was a hallmark piece of mine, a cornerstone of my business model.  Custom miniatures are what sets one clients army apart from any other clients (that and a great paint job) A client recently contacted me regarding the above model.  “I […]

Three Little Words . .  . Not a ConversionGreeting fellow wargamers, Caleb with White Metal Games here.  We specialize in creating custom miniatures for your wargames . . . at least, we did, until Murderfrost came along. I stumbled across this site a few months back and I thought it was high time I share my findings […]

Like the Joker said . . . “If you’re good at something, never do it for free.” Hey, if it works for the Joker, it should work for miniature painting/commission services. The trick is how to you determine if someone is indeed GOOD at something.  Good is such a speculative word.  Maybe what I look […]

Greetings everyone: I was going to post an article today about the differences between blending and the more common wet blending. I wanted to talk about this because although wet blending is a very common technique, no one out there (on the forums, etc) seemed to be talking about just basic BLENDING. To be clear, […]

Greetings fellow wargamers!  I was recently contacted by a repeat client who wants a customer squad of ‘The Eight’ created.The Eight are the members of Ta Commander Farsights personal bodyguard, consisting of a handful of crisis suits, a broadside, and a riptide!Needless to say I was overjoyed at the prospect of building this squad, not […]

White Metal Games has officially thrown their hat into the painting studio and assembly arena and joined the ranks of other studios like Next Level Painting, Brush for Hire, and Stiff Neck Studios. “There’s more studios out there than you think. But they’re much harder to find than they should be. The problem is clients […]

We’ve all probably seen them individually in a picture or in person, but how do these new “super kits” look all next to each other? Well Caleb from White Metal Games just happened to have a majority of the new kits his studio at the same time, and took this picture.   I think the […]

Greetings fellow wargamers! Since the release of the Khorne Lord of Skulls about a week ago, the internet has been a buzz with conversion gossip. The kit is just ripe for kit bashing, and like most enthusiasts out there I couldn’t wait to get it on my workbench. In expectation of the release, MBG over […]

Greetings fellow wargamers!  We all know the value of sand as a basing solution for our miniatures. Most veteran painters will tell you to glue sand to your base before painting so that you paint the sand too.  A common technique is to glue sand down, glop on some black and spread it around, then […]

 Time is money, after all, or so they say.So I’m a power tool kinda guy.  I like anything that saves me time.  Most power tools that I use run less then $150 bucks and for the time they save me I feel that purchase price is generally well worth the time saved. And if time […]

Greetings fellow wargamers!  My buddy Spence recently acquired a Wraithknight model for his Dark Eldar/allied Eldar army.  I mean, how could he resist?  At nearly 9″ tall, this model could punt a carnifex like a football.  In a rare shift for GW, the kit contains 4 different arms to explore all the different options for […]

Greetings fellow wargamers!  What do you do when life gives you lemons?  Make lemonade.  So what do you do with GW gives you a plague drone?  Easy, you make a fly prince of Nurgle! For the most part, this was a no nonsense conversion, simple and direct.  We swapped the standard wings with the fly […]

Greetings fellow wargamers!  A friend of mine wanted an alternative to the Azrael figure offered by GW, but had a limited budget to work with. He asked me to research a cheap alternative.  And so a new conversion begins . . . For this particular build, I drew from two bits:  the Dark Vengeance Lord […]

Greetings fellow wargamers!  Since the Balrog figured was released by GW post the LOTR release, it’s always been one of those figures near and dear to my heart. The Balrog itself is intimidating enough.  The figure is posed mid stride, fire literally marking it’s passage.  And for $50 some odd dollars, even by today’s standard […]

Greetings from Terra! I have an extra special treat for your today, fellow wargamers!  By now I’m sure most of you seen the concept art for the Golden Throne from the inside cover of the 5th Ed. 40k rulebook. If not, then just follow the link!  This art was so icon, so inspiring, that I […]
