Wargaming and D&D are social games, so why shouldn't you socialize while you build and paint your minis?
We're going to start having dedicated tables for you to come in with your supplies and paint and chat with other like-minded people. Learn new techniques, find a new opponent, or just enjoy being around other who share your passion.
If you're a commission painter what better advertising is there than showing up, putting out a couple of your minis, and showing LIVE what you can do?
