Second Batch of Guardian Defenders done!
So I finished the batch of Guardians I was working on. The first batch can be viewed here. This means that half of the squad is done! Left to do are four more Defenders, a Weapon Platform and a Warlock. Before I’m painting that, I’m...
Eldar Guardians Final Spurt
So this is the status on the Guardians, the majority is done. What I need to do now is to paint the black areas, finish the helmets, do some corrections, paint the base trim and then they are done!
Glowing Warpstone, Scource Lighting Mini-Tutorial

First draft of my Skaven army
Now that we know the contents of “Island of Blood”, I took my Army Book and wrote a 2500 points around the models of the starter set and the great Skaven kits that were released last year. Now I’ve never played a game of Warhammer...
