WIP: Dwarfs Hammerers
It has been awhile since I posted any WIP on these guys. Progress on them has been slow but steady. Very much the tortoise and the hare situation here. Since my last update I did the Leadbelcher on the steel with very controlled dry brushing. Then I...
Showcase: Dark Elves Shadowblade
The latest contender in the Dimensional Cascade Podcast is Shadowblade, the Dark Elven assassin. Without question one of the best character models GW has ever produced. Not a whole lot to say about this guy. It is just plain amazing and so fun to paint....
Showcase: Fieldstone Cottage (Terrain)
I have been doing a lot of casting and building with my Hirst Arts molds lately in preparation for SPDM4. This small fieldstone cottage is my latest creation. It painted up quick and easy with the airbrush using assorted Golden High Flow Acrylics and a dry brush...
Showcase: Wood Elves Eternal Guard
Today we continue the showcase of my winter themed Wood Elves army with the unit of Eternal Guard. There are 15 models here but I actually have 16 painted. The unit is magnetized for the first three ranks and the last guy just sits off...
Showcase: Wood Elves Wardancers #1
Continuing the showcase series of my winter themed Wood Elves. Today I would like to share with you all my first unit of Wardancers. I was super happy to see that these sculpts continue as is. They are packed with dynamic energy and oh so...

Showcase: Wood Elves Glade Riders #1
These Glade Riders are the second unit in the review of my winter themed Wood Elves. Keep in mind that this army was built to play WHFB 7th Edition so the units are usually small by today’s standards. The entire collection is only a little...
Showcase: Wood Elves Glade Guard #1
The last year has been amazing for me with regard to new releases. First the Lizardmen then Dwarves and now the Wood Elves. All three armies I collect and play. When I saw the new woody models last Friday, I will confess to literally squealing with delight....
WIP: Dwarfs, Hammerers and Runesmith #4
Back to work on the Dwarfs now that pesky-pointy-ear Anlith Anar is done. The next step was going to be a fresh layer of Leadbelcher on the whole unit but I was scrapping the sides of the paint pot for just the first five and...
Showcase: High Elves Alith Anar
Alith Anar, the Shadow King. Ruler of Tor Anlec and a realm shattered in The Sundering, now leader of the Shadow Warriors and their unending war against their Dark Elf brethren. He is also the latest contender of The Pit. So, I will confess to not...
