Showcase: Legions Imperialis Karacnos Assault Tanks (inc. painting guide)
The Horus Heresy and by extension Legions Imperialis, has the same problem that Lord of the Rings suffers from. That’s all changing with the Dark Mechanicum models, whilst not true Dark Mechanicum models, you can take Karacnos Tanks as part of the Horus aligned Mechanicus. Find why I take issue with games from the 31st Millennium in today’s post.
Showcase: Space Wolves Terminators & Wolf Lord
Terminators are, without a doubt, some of the most iconic models in the Warhammer 40,000 universe. These mighty suits of battle plate make their wearers almost impervious to damage—though we’ve all suffered the heartbreak of rolling those dreaded “1s” when a simple 2+ would’ve saved the day!
Showcase: Aeldari Falcon Grav Tank (inc. painting guides)
Is being efficient the same as cutting corners when painting? Does quality have to suffer if you save time? In this article, I’ll explore this by talking about how I approached painting my Aeldari Falcon grav tank. I’m going to share with you my work flow and what techniques and strategies I employed to make the process as efficient as possible without sacrificing quality.
Showcase: Aeldari Swooping Hawks (inc. painting guides)
I recently finished my Fire Dragons and I was excited to paint more Aeldari, so I decided to crack on with the new Swooping Hawks. The kits are lovely and have lots of options for the Exarch and multiple head choices but I went for a pretty standard build. In today’s post I have lots of tips for building and assembling your Swooping Hawks as well as a detailed painting guide.
Showcase: Leagues of Votann Hekaton Land Fortress
Today, I wanted to share my Votann Land Fortress with you all! It’s just a “short” 😉 post, but I couldn’t resist showing it off. I was so hyped about the Votann when they were first launched. However, as any hobbyist will agree, it’s easy to get drawn from one project to another as exciting new models are released. I really need to double my efforts and paint more units—a “little” 😉 effort often goes a long way!
Battle Report: Blood Angels vs Astra Militarum
Big guns never tire, but Garfy does… painting large models can be a real struggle but in today’s post I’m going to explain how I made painting the Space Marine Gladiator Lancer in Blood Angel colours easy… but be warned, it could all go horribly wrong!
Showcase: Skaven Zikkit’s Tunnelpack
The first quarter of 2025 is over, and I’m showing you my progress in the #WarhammerChallenge. With the completion of Zikkit’s Tunnelpack, I’ve already managed to fill a complete row, and in this showcase post you can gaze over the result.
Showcase: Zikkit Rockgnaw from Zikkit’s Tunnelpack
Kicking off my New Year #WarhammerChallenge hobby bingo for the first quarter, I’ve been eager to paint the more of the fantastic new Skaven models. First up from Zikkit’s Tunnelpack is the mad mastermind Zikkit Rockgnaw himself!
Showcase: Blood Angels Gladiator Lancer
Big guns never tire, but Garfy does… painting large models can be a real struggle but in today’s post I’m going to explain how I made painting the Space Marine Gladiator Lancer in Blood Angel colours easy… but be warned, it could all go horribly wrong!
Showcase: Black Legion Daemon Prince
Sometimes, a model simply demands a place in your collection – no questions asked. A few years ago, while working on my Black Legion force, I was inspired by Garfy’s brilliant painting guides. So, when the plastic Chaos Daemon Prince kit debuted in 2022, I knew it had to be part of my army. But then came the challenge: choosing his loadout!
