Converted Warlock Engineer with Doom Rocket
Today I did a conversion I had in mind for quite a while now: a Warlock Engineer with Doom Rocket! Inspired by the artwork in the Skaven Uniforms & Heraldry book I used the gunner from the Island of Blood Warpfire Thrower team, a rocket...
Skavenslaves Assemble!
With the Ultramarines Seargent out of the way, it’s time for more scurrying goodness ehrm badness. Today I built a unit of 25 Skavenslaves. With only two pieces they came together very quickly. I used only the unarmoured bodies from the Clanrats sprue and gave...
Ultramarines Terminator Seargent finished
And there he is. He just needs a coat of varnish before he’ll be ready to smash some heads. I’m taking proper pictures of the whole squad soon. There will also be a tutorial.
Ultramarines Terminator Seargent Painting
Update from the Paint Station: I finished the armour and the golds of the Terminator Seargent. I’m taking pictures of each painting step for the tutorial, so stay tuned!

Ultramarines Terminator Seargent WIP
Remember the CC Terminator Squad I painted for my Ultramarines some time ago? Well, they were missing their Seargent because back then I couldn’t get the tabbard bit in time. I don’t like leaving squads unfinished, so as my Stormvermins are finished now, I took...
Showcase: Skaven Stormvermin Regiment
Here they are in their full glory, a unit of 30 Stormvermin including full command. The models were very detailed, so the whole unit took quite a while to paint. I noticed the style of the models is a little bit different than the Clanrat...
Warpfire Thrower Team Finished!
I just put the last finishing touches to the Warpfire Thrower team. Instead of a realistic, red fire I chose to paint the flames on the little rat greenish. I used the same colours that I use for painting warpstone but in reverse order: P3...
Review: November’s White Dwarf
I went out and bought this issue day one, but with the only expectation to just look at cool pictures of the new Necron models… The Good Stuff: The articles about the new Necrons and their fluff, an Ogre Kingdoms tactics article. What’s In There...
