Review: Imperial Knight Questoris Defender
Towering war machines, bristling with weapons and heraldry, Imperial Knights embody both the splendour and brutality of the far future. Now, over a decade since the original Questoris kit marched onto tabletops, Games Workshop have refreshed the model with a new release and a brand-new Knight Defender variant. In this review, we’ll unbox the new Questoris Knight, take a close look at the sprues, and see what makes the Defender stand apart from its predecessors.
Review: Raven Guard Aethon Shaan & Imperial Fists Darnath Lysander
Today we’re unboxing and reviewing not one, but two brand-new Space Marine character kits: Raven Guard Chapter Master Aethon Shaan and Imperial Fists Captain Darnath Lysander. Both miniatures bring their own distinct flavour to the tabletop. Shaan is a striking, maximalist centrepiece bursting with Corvidae iconography, while Lysander is a modernised take on an old fan-favourite. Let’s take a closer look.
Showcase: Necrons Nephusir Dynasty army by nicholas.painting
The Anatu system once belonged to the Nephusir Dynasty a millennia ago – and they’re determined to reclaim it. Recognisable by their white masks and a soft blue energy glow;Â these robotic land-owners would like the Imperium off their property.

Showcase: Nighthaunt Lord Vitriolic
Here’s my take on the new Nighthaunt Lord Vitriolic. Once a charlatan who peddled miracle cures, medicines, and tinctures, he is now cursed to serve Nagash for all eternity as a master of poisons. In this showcase post, I share detailed pictures from every angle and explain how I painted the smoke effect.
