Review: John Blanche Masterclass paint sets Vol. 1 & 2
John Blanche is a visionary artist who has shaped the look and feel of the Warhammer IP like no other. But now that he’s retired, he’s joined team Army Painter to make his own paint sets?! In this review, I show you all 20 colours from both John Blanche Masterclass Sets.

Who doesn‘t know this: so much hobby, so little space. In this video, I’ll show you how I paint, airbrush, take photos of my minis, film, and store my paints and tools on just a 48″ x 24″ desk.
