Showcase: Frodo wearing the Ring

I’ve spent hours working on this model, it’s an accurate representation of Frodo wearing the ring. The likeness is uncanny! OK OK, just so you don’t feel hard done by with the lame excuse of a blog entry, read on to see a cool LOTR scene...

Chat: Garfy’s pictorial hobby timeline

Looking at the models I have painted so far this year, I can’t help but notice how much my approach to painting has changed. I paint a lot less nowadays but seem to enjoy it a lot more. I thought it might be nice to...

Showcase: Grey Knight 1500pt Army Shot

You don’t get many models in a 1500pt pure Grey Knight force, but you do get some lovely big centre piece models.  Despite the lack of models, I still wanted a mix of units to paint. Draigo armies of paladins look so boring! Variety is...

Showcase: Grey Knight Interceptor Squad

I’ve completed my Grey Knight Interceptor squad. I really enjoyed batch painting just 4 models, it feels like such a long time since I batch painted a squad. This year has just been huge centre piece models, or individual Dreadfleet ships.  Click on the above...
