Showcase: Chaos Hell Talon and Hell Blade
For most of the week I have been busy working on two of Forge World’s Chaos Hell Talon’s and three Hell Blades for a friends army. The models themselves are pretty impressive, especially the Hell Talon. Which was much larger than I had anticipated. Assembly…
How to paint Oin the Dwarf from the Hobbit
This is it, the last tutorial for the Hobbit boxset. Maybe you’re seeing this for the first time as you undertake your own box set, or maybe you’ve followed this project as it progressed and painted your own set at the same time and now…
Showcase: Dreadfleet – The Sea Drake
The High Elven Sea Drake is another visual highlight to me. Bright, elegant, different to human ships and with a very Fantasy twist in the shape of a dragon. In true High Elven form, there are no cannons on the ship but instead it’s all…
WIP: Dark Eldar Warriors #4
Half time! There we have model number 4 and 5 of my unit of 10 Kabalite Warriors. I’m pleased how they turned out, the glow effect of the eyes came out even better than on my first three models. What do you think? Next up…
Tutorial: How to paint Bifur the Dwarf from the Hobbit
This is the penultimate tutorial in this series. After Bifur, I just have to post Oin and I’m done. Read on to find out how to paint Bifur in 15 steps. This tutorial assumes you have a basic understanding of how to paint. For the…
Showcase: Dreadfleet – The Heldenhammer
Next we got the flagship of the “good” side, the Heldenhammer with it’s shipwrecking automaton in the front. Lovely model and pretty much encapsulating what I enjoy about the Empire (or Warhammer as a whole). Pretty much grounded in familiar real-life concepts from history but…
Showcase: Necromunda Escher Gang Pt. 3
Welcome to part three of the showcase of the Escher gang I painted recently. Here I present models number 11 to 15. Most notably of the bunch is the heavy with plasma cannon, a somewhat rare model that often fetches high prices on ebay. To…
Review: Liquid Rust by Modelmates
I love learning new things, so when Ghoulio suggested a liquid rust paint in the comments of my Necron Paint Scheme blog entry, I was quite excited to give it a try. One virtual trip to eBay and a few days later I have the…
Showcase: Dreadfleet – Grimnir’s Thunder
Today’s capital ship is the steam-powered, airship launching dreadnought – Grimnir’s Thunder! I won’t pretend that I’m particularly fond of the new design concept that Dwarfs built EVERYTHING from metal or stone but in the context of Dreadfleet, this one fits in rather nicely (by…
WIP: Dark Eldar Warriors #3
Here comes the next batch of Kabalite Warriors. The unit is 10 models strong, so I decided to alternate between batches of three and two. This time it’s a batch of two, so I chose the Sybarite and the Splintercannon armed Warrior because of their…
