How to tackle red and yellow over a black basecoat
A lot of painters have difficulties painting bright reds and yellows over a black basecoat. Both colours tend to have a weak pigment regardless of the paint manufacturer. This means you will need a lot of layers for an opaque coat, which is both time...
On the Station April 15
Progress is coming slow with the Banshees. Shading the armour the cleaning up ate time. And there is a lot of detail work yet to come… On the far right you can see the finished test model for the squad.
Showcase: Vostroyans
Finally, high quality pictures of the Vostroyan Squad I painted. Click for higher resolution. Vostroyans were released as some kind of poster boys for the Cities of Death expansion for Warhammer 40.000. As a result of the “shiney new toy syndrome” I bought the battleforce...
Incoming: Pegasus (Reaper) Colours, Sanguinary Guard
Look what I got today in mail: Some Pegasus Colours (which are in fact relabeled Reaper Master Series) and two Sanguinary Guard and some Death Company Bitz. The Colours were kindly provided by Pegasus Spiele and I will review them (in German) for BrΓΌckenkopf as...

Eldar: Bonesinger
My latest addition to the army, the limited release Bonesinger. Unfortunately the paint job was a bit rushed and you can tell that by some parts of the model. But the model has some sloppy sculpted parts as well, so I really couldn’t be bothered...
Eldar: Wraithlord
Great kit, great design, once again beautiful work by Mr. Jes Goodwin. A lot of people like to heavily convert their Wraithlords but as I like the model itself very much I didn’t felt it was needed. I just repositioned the left shoulder pad. The...
