Our top 5 Blood Angels army showcases & tutorials
We’re kicking off our Road to Armageddon with a curated selection of the best Blood Angels posts from over 15 years of Tale of Painters. Let’s bridge the wait until the 11th Edition launch with our inspiring Blood Angels army and model showcases and painting guides. And if you love 2nd Edition style Blood Angels in bright orange-red armour, this is a must-read anyway.
Ranking every 40k starter set (plus our thoughts on Armageddon)
We’re going on a journey through time, ranking every 40k starter and launch set! With pre-orders for Armageddon just around the corner, we thought it was the perfect moment to pause and look back at everything that came before. We’ll tell you where we think Armageddon stands compared to all the previous 40k starter and launch sets, share our favourite starter sets from nearly 40 years of Warhammer, and show you our collections of lovingly painted starter set miniatures.
Vostroyans are back as Made to Order (and on Tale of Painters)
Few Astra Militarum regiments carry as much character as the Vostroyan Firstborn. First introduced back in 2006 as the centrepiece of the Fall of Medusa V campaign, these ornate, fur-trimmed soldiers have been a hobby favourite ever since. And with Games Workshop bringing the classic range back as a Made to Order release this week, now felt like the perfect moment to finally give my Vostroyan Command Squad the showcase it deserves.
More Armageddon reinforcements reviewed: Yarrick, Wazdakka Gutsmek, Intranzia Fraye & Inquisitor Kroyle
Four new character models have arrived for Warhammer 40,000, covering the Astra Militarum, Orks, Adepta Sororitas, and the Inquisition. We’ve gone through every sprue in detail and have high-res sprue images for you below.
Astra Militarum Armageddon wave reviewed: Battalion, Hippogriff, Centaur & Commissar Graves
The Astra Militarum rolls out new armoured might with the Armageddon Battalion, the first place you can get your hands on two brand-new vehicles: the wheeled Hippogriff AFV and the rugged Centaur RSV troop transport. Alongside these, we’re also taking a look at Commissar Graves, the imposing new named character aboard her heavily modified Centaur “Vigilance”. We’ve gone through every sprue in detail and have high-res sprue images for you below, so read on for our full unboxing and review.
Showcase: Cadian mobile command tank & Rough Rider Dirt Bike kitbashes
I was super excited to see the releases of the new guard vehicles. I am particularly keen to get hold of the Hippogriff AFV and Centaur RSV vehicles. I have worked hard over the past few years to grow my Cadian Astra Militarum force and paint it up to a reasonable standard. The force was actually inspired by World War II armoured mechanised divisions. So, I’m very much looking forward to expanding it with these new options.Â
Showcase: Craftworld Iybraesil Infinity’s Lament
When I saw this year’s Warhammer+ miniatures, as a long-time Aeldari fan I immediately knew I had to have Infinity’s Lament. Eldar collectors had to endure many years waiting for reinforcements, so I couldn’t let this wonderful little diorama vignette pass me by. In this post I’m showing you my version, painted in the turquoise of Craftworld Iybraesil.
Review: Knight Destrier, Thalia Guld & Mechanicus Hastarii
The defenders of Agripinaa take shape in plastic as Games Workshop expands two of its most beloved factions. The Adeptus Mechanicus field a fearsome new Archmagos and a heavily armed Skitarii infantry type, while the Imperial Knights debut an entirely new class with the nimble, rocket-assisted Knight Destrier. In this review, we examine all three kits in detail and explore their build options with high-res sprue images.
Review: Chaos Space Marines Defiler, Mutilators & Kravek Morne
Chaos descends upon the Eye of Terror as Games Workshop unleashes a new wave of Chaos Space Marines kits. We’re reviewing the reimagined Defiler daemon engine, the long-awaited plastic Mutilators, and Kravok Morne, the new Iron Warriors Warsmith and dramatis personae. In this review, we examine all three kits in detail and explore their build options with high-res sprue images and an 4K unboxing video.
Showcase: Marneus Calgar & Victrix Guard (inc. painting guide)
Hi everyone, I’ve just finished work on the mighty Marneus Calgar and his stalwart Victrix Guard and in this post, I’d like to explain to you the approach and the paints used to paint my Ultramarines.
