Showcase: Dark Eldar Beast Master
I’ve had this model hanging around for ages. I decided to use the skyboard as a test piece for my airbrush extractor fan. Once I’d done a neat job of painting the skyboard, I thought I’d finish the job off and paint the beast master. I...
Review: Portable airbrushing spray booth & extractor E420
I bought this from www.airbrushsupplyonline.com for £74. It looks like I’ve become a door to door salesman selling vacuum cleaners! The kit includes a booth which folds down to a suitcase with the dimensions 42cm x 15cm x 24cm and an extractor hose comprising of 5 parts....
Chat: Garfy’s man cave gets an upgrade
We love a good man cave here at Tale of Painters. I was recently visiting a friend who had a fantastic man cave with 2 desks. 1 for his computer, 1 for his hobby. This got me thinking about upgrading my man cave to make...
Review: Finecast Dark Eldar Wracks and Urien Rakarth
I haven’t seen many reviews of Finecast models online recently. This got me thinking… have Games Workshop clamped down on the quality control? I decided to buy a box and a blister of Finecast models and find out for myself. Read on to find out...

WIP: Necron Doom Scythe #3

Showcase: Necron Scarabs
My lichen turned up today, so I finished off my scarabs and superglued some lichen to the bases. I think the lichen is a good addition to the bases. Before it was quite red, and now it helps break it all up. Happy with these....
WIP: Necron Doom Scythe #2
This is update number two for this project. I’ve highlighted the edges of the craft using a fine detail brush and some vallejo fiery orange + white and used some Citedal Temple Guard blue to line the circuitry patterns on the hull. I think I...
WIP: Necrons Scarabs
These are nearly finished. I just have to highlight the red armour and tidy the base edges. They are the easiest thing I’ve painted in a very long time I think… it’s all been massive Tyranids, flyers or Warhammer Fantasy monsters. It was nice to...
Tutorial: Airbrushing Necron Vehicles – Doom Scythe
With the Grey Knights completed, and my next army choice not even on the new release radar yet (Chaos), I thought I would spend the next few months revisiting my Necrons. Having just enjoyed Flyer Friday I decided to purchase another flyer, the awesome Doom Scythe /...
