Showcase: Van Saar Tek Hunters & Orrus Spyre Hunters (inc. painting guides)
I had the opportunity to work with Garfy on the recent Necromunda: Hive Secundus release. Necromunda is one of my favourite games. Sadly, I have not had much opportunity to play the latest edition, this is something that I am hoping to rectify next year. However, I always follow the releases with great interest and have often purchased some of the gangs and models just because I love the characterful sculpts so much. I find they are perfect for using in narrative games of 40k as well.
Showcase: How I made Hive Secundus for Games Workshop
I was recently asked to create a Hive Secundus diorama for Games Workshop’s Warhammer Community, in today’s post I’m going to lift the curtain and share how I went about building my own Hive Secundus. Lots and lots of photos in this post, so strap in, grab your favourite drink and let’s start.
Showcase: Brood Scum (incl. painting guides)
In today’s post, we’re venturing back into the ruins of Hive Secundus to investigate reports of hivers kidnapping unsuspecting gangers and taking them into the deepest depths, only to be seen weeks later without hair and a sickly complexion. Check out this article for Brood Scum Painting guide and detailed photography.
Showcase: Genestealer Malstrain Abomination Gang (incl. painting guides)
In today’s post, we take a closer look at the Genestealer Malstrain Abomination Gang that I painted as part of my piece for the Warhammer Community article I was asked to do. I’ll share some close ups of the models I painted and a painting guide if you want to paint your own Malstrain Genestealers.
Review: Necromunda Hive Secundus
Arm yourself with the finest weaponry, ensure your lumens are fully charged, and enlist the most fearsome Spyre Hunter you can find as you prepare to delve into the terrifying depths of the Underhells. Join me as I review Necromunda: Hive Secundus, exploring the contents and the detailed miniatures that bring the dark underbelly of Hive Secundus to life.
For sale: Necromunda Cargo-8 Ridgehauler, Trailer and Orlock Outrider Quads
Something different today. I need some shelf space to fit more Legions Imperialis and Tomb Kings on, so I’m selling my small collection of Necromunda models. A Ridgehauler, a trailer, the containers, barrels and boxes and two Outrider Quads.
Showcase: Necromunda Cargo-8 Ridgehauler and trailer (incl. painting guides)
In today’s post, I share why I nearly turned down the chance to work on the Ridgehauler Warhammer Community article as well recipe card painting guides for this massive model and its crew. There’s also a bonus version of the cinematic shot at the end of this article.
Showcase: Necromunda Orlock Outrider Quads (incl. painting guide)
Wheel-spinning out of Necromunda’s Ash Wastes are my Orlock Outrider Quads! These models were only meant to be background props for my Ridgehauler Cargo-8 Warhammer Community article Games Workshop asked me to do. I painted the Outrider Quads with really fast techniques (recipe card below) and now I’m thinking I quite like them and wouldn’t mind starting an Orlock Ash Wastes Gang.
