Hi all,
Now that we have a full compliment of artists and a programmer working on the Fantasy Army Painter project, it is time to start thinking about what specifications we would like it to have.
This is a topic that would benefit from the thoughts and ideas of everyone that has access to this area, so please feel free to add to this discussion as the more ideas we have the better we can make this programme.
The basic specification is a programme that has a commonly used model from each Fantasy army, that is an accurate representation of the miniatures that it is based on. This will then be broken down in to sections that can be coloured to allow a paint scheme to be tested out and then used elsewhere, for instance on a forum. So far so good. This in itself would be the first programme of its kind to support GW Fantasy models, and would be a useful tool. However we want it to be as good a programme as possible so we would like to include:

- Hard coded colours from the GW and Vallejo paint ranges
- A 'mix your own colour' function using reference paint colours
- Interchangable shield and banner symbols to allow customisation of the model
- A print function
- A save function
- A forum output function
- Protected from rehosting
- Minimal server stress from saved images, etc
- A Heresy-Online logo embedded in the interface
- A donation link to Heresy-Online
- A tutorial of some sort
- Credits to all people involved in the project
- A full legal disclaimer
