I have compiled a compendium of different threads and geeklists created by various people on how to paint minis. If you are new to minis or are an experienced veteran and want to learn a new style this is the place for you. PLease, if you have a painting guide, feel free to post it on here.(check to make sure it is not already on here.)
How to paint a Regiment of 17th Century Irish Infantry who fought for His Majesty Louis XIV (pronounced loo-ee carthorse) interspersed with PICTURES and seasoned with COFFINDODGER ANNECDOTES for your edification, enjoyment and enlightenment.

A really great thread and one I pop back to to spring new painting ideas from.
Thanks! Though, since then, I changed a few things when painting: I tend to use much more washes & glazes and less drybrushes/highlights (i.e. I start on lighter colours then work more on selective darkening), and I tend to basecoat more and more with spray and less with humbrol brush-on. But overall, that doesn't change much of the process. And also, I learned to paint larger groups with quicker techniques inspired by Jim's thread...

All the information I wish I had known when I started painting minis...

Excellent resource only she ended up stopping when she got to the ships! Being a noob at this I was following her videos carefully. When she stopped I decided to carry on the torch and started a blog of my efforts:
I haven't updated it since December since my camera and my computer died! I've also been very busy lately and put the painting on the back burner. But I have a new camera and will be retaking most of the pictures in the blog. I still have some issues getting online but that should be ironed out soon and I'll be resuming the blog in the next week or so, picking up where I left off.
For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his soul?
