Review: Leagues of Votann Army Set
In today’s review, we take a look at the contents of the brand new Leagues of Votann army set, especially the miniatures and all the build and weapon options.

Tutorial: How to paint The Blooded Traitor Guard from Kill Team: Moroch
In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to paint The Blooded, the Traitor Guard from Kill Team: Moroch (or Blackstone Fortress). The flexible paint scheme is easily adaptable to Chaos Cultists like the new Accursed Cultists that are up for preorder today, and to loyal Astra Militarum Guardsmen as well. I made use of a lot of the new Contrast and Shade paints to get a better feeling for them and sneaked in a few Scale75 Instant Colours as well, so this is gonna get interesting.
Showcase: Battlezone Manufactorum Storage Fane
I added a few more pieces to my terrain collection: a storage fane from Battlezone Manufactorum, which I got in issue 34 of my Warhammer 40.000: Imperium partwork collection. Learn how I painted it in today’s post.
