Showcase: Secrets & Lies
Another mini inspired by a book. I’ve got 4 or 5 of these old errant style marines. In an ironic twist this mini which must be around 20 years old is paired with very modern forgeworld parts. Perhaps it symbolises my journey through the hobby…
Showcase: The Goblin Scribe from the Hobbit
I don’t know a lot about this model, because I haven’t seen the film yet. It looks like a goblin catapult, but from what I can gather it’s a crane for a rather small goblin. One more picture after the jump. I painted this model…
Showcase: Blood Angels Predator #1
First Predator Destructor finished! As you can see, all the formerly blue drops and such have been changed to green to fit with therest of the army better. That less wide range of colour is made up for with with yellow and black hazard stripes….
Showcase: Path of the Seer
I’ve got a real thing abotu building Eldar Warlocks, not sure why. These guys were originally going to be jetlocks, but in the absence of any bikes I went with skirtwearers instead. Made using essential the same set of componants for each model, stuff from…

Showcase: Ork Mek Boss Buzzgob
Buzzgob was the final model that I painted for a commission this week that also included 90 Ork Boyz. And I feel completely exhausted now. It was quite a daunting project. I used Vallejo Olive Drab for the skin tone and Mig pigments for the…
Showcase: Vampire Counts Coven Throne
Way back at the very beginning of 2012 GW released the Coven Throne. In my opinion the model is fantastic and was a pleasure to paint. I tried my hardest to paint this one more gently and patiently than I normally paint most other models….
Showcase: Valkia the Bloody
Valkia the Bloody. Why, why, why do Games Workshop continue to make the most fragile models in Finecast ? Don’t get me wrong I love the model. But how fragile was she to put together let alone paint. It all went well though. Nothing broke….
Tutorial: Stahly’s Escher Paint Recipes
Hey there, a lot of people asked me which paints I used for the paint scheme of my Escher gang. So I compiled a list of all the paints I used in this lenghty post. It’s not a real step by step tutorial, but to…
