Is this thing on… testing… testing… Hi I’m Garfy and I like long walks and reading poetry… oh wait, this isn’t a dating website?
OK I’m a massive fan of painting Games Workshop models. Most of my spare time is spent pushing paint around with a hairy stick. I’m mainly a 40k collector, but I dabble in fantasy and occasionally I buy up old out of production games to paint (Warhammer Quest, Tyranid Attack etc). My main collections are Tyranids and Ultramarines, both of which at the time of writing are 13,000pts strong. I’m also currently working on 2 smaller forces, Grey Knights and Dark Eldar. I’m not really into showcase painting. I prefer to paint army collections. I’ve only entered Golden Demon once and I made finalist with 2 entries. I’ve won best painted army at Warhammer World but more recently I’ve had my work featured on Games Workshop’s ‘What’s New Today’ blog (11 times to date… but who’s counting – I am).
Outside of the hobby, I’m a Graphic Designer and I’m married to my lovely wife Jo and we live in London. I enjoy running and cycling.

So I started to look at your stuff due to Space Hulk. I started to Google "Space Hulk, Genestealers and Deathwing" and saw your features. I think you are very talented and give exciting looks into the 'hairy stick' biz. Great tutorials and a fun-again hobby. Do you play often enough? That's a great part too!
Anyways, nice to meet you and keep up the good work!
Cheers,

Fantastic, thanks.
Hi Alamo. I'll do a review and link to my airbrush set up tomorrow mate.
Hi Garfy,
I love you Dark Eldar army. I'm a lover of all things Eldar – see my plog here on Warseer:

I've recently started collecting Dark Eldar, and have about 1500 points assembled and undercoated. As you can tell from the name of my plog, I'm a slow painter – which is fine if you're happy with the results, but with my DE I want something which looks good for the table top and doesn't take an age to paint. So far I've done a Vyper and half a Raider, but I can feel myself slipping back into my old habits of painstakingly edge highlighting every nook and cranny.
Basically I'd really like to give a proper airbrush a go – but I don't know where to start. Can you give me some pointers in terms of equipment?
Thanks
Alamo
