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.

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.

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.

On my quest to paint a playable Nighthaunt Spearhead this year, I could cross another unit off the list: here come my Grimghast Reapers, 10 in number. Several years ago I painted the first half, and now five more models join my spectral hosts. This presented me with some challenges. Which ones, you’ll find out in this post.

Showcase: Skaven Master Moulder

I’m expanding my Skaven collection one warpstone-tainted creation at a time. Today I’m presenting my Master Moulder, painted using a combination of zenithal priming, Speedpaints, and Contrast paints with additional highlights. This twisted rat-surgeon-butcher yes-yes will eventually join my growing Skaven force for Warcry and beyond. In this post you’ll find plenty of photos plus details on how I achieved the grotesque skin tones and weathered brass effects.

Showcase: Decimator Daemon Engine & Space Wolves Contemptor

Hi folks, I’m back again with some cool models for your viewing pleasure. I’ve always enjoyed the Warhammer 40k Forge World kits, and sadly, with the way things are today, these more specialist and complex kits are far less common and seldom seen on the tabletop. However, I do believe you can still use them as “Legends”, treat them as “counts as”, or, if you’re a filthy heretic like me, you can simply create your own rules (EVIL LAUGH!!!)-
