Showcase: Aeldari Farseer and Spiritseer (inc. painting guides)
Imagine the scene, you’re 13 and you’ve just got your first White Dwarf magazine and you flick through the pages and you’re greeted with bright green battlefields and painted models in all the colours. It captures your imagination and you immediately want to be a part of it, you want to learn more… then you see it… the Eldar Ulthwe Dreadnought. Tall and slender armed with huge crushing fists and shoulder mounted plasma cannon. You’re blown away by how freaking cool it is. Well, that was me 31 years ago and it had such an impact on me that I decided to channel it’s awesomeness into my Aeldari Wraithlord. I’ll share more pictures and my painting guide in this article.

Showcase: Chaos Knight Ruinator (inc. painting guides)
I’ve been painting Games Workshop miniatures for decades, most of the time I’m just painting the modern renditions of the same things I painted decades ago, like my recent Aeldari and Blood Angel projects, where I painted their predecessors in the 90s. It’s rare something new and different comes along that I’ve never experienced before. Enter the Chaos Knights…
