Showcase: Chaos Lord on Daemonic Mount

The third of three WFB pieces to show you early in 2012. This is a simply wonderful model, but if ever something needed casting in finecast this is it, fortunately it’s now cast in the light resin you either love or hate, but unfortunately for...

Showcase: Iron Hands HQ

This army was inspired by a White Dwarf article. I know that WD peaks and troughs in terms of it’s quality, but occasionaly I’m challenged by it (Sanguinor anyone?!). Phil Dunn of ‘eavy metal was partaking in the WD tale of four painters with Goff...

Showcase: Imperial Guard Veteran Command

I don’t normally stray away from Marines, but increasingly commissions are coming in for things I can really get my creative energy behind. When I was asked to to a few squads of Imperial Guard Veterans with a variety of interesting weapons I couldn’t resist!...
