I hear about this green warhammer stuff that dries at night. Where can I find this clay?

What you're thinking of is called epoxy putty, and is often used in miniature war gaming with a product called green stuff.

I use the Umbrol paints, which are the usual tiny pots of model paint found here in the UK. Be carefull not to slap too much paint on or you get horible lumps (I've got the knack of it now...)

There's one colour I used which didn't work that well, I got a transparent Saphire-Blue colour - you could see the printing underneath. Great for "Magical" armour I suppose...
My Other sig is funny. Honest.

From what I have heard there is a range called "Vallejo" that is supposed to be really good. I have never used them personally but most master warhammer painters do. Otherwise the "Citadel Colours" that Games Workshop produce are really quite good as well.
