Showcase: Ultramarines Terminator Captain, Librarian, and Repulsor
Everyone loves a hero! And who could be more heroic than the mighty Ultramarines? This army was inspired by my recent Tale of Gamers project with Garfy. His magnificent Blood Angels are so well painted, you can’t help but feel inspired to build and paint some Space Marines after seeing his first-class work.
Showcase: Nighthaunt Lord Vitriolic
Here’s my take on the new Nighthaunt Lord Vitriolic. Once a charlatan who peddled miracle cures, medicines, and tinctures, he is now cursed to serve Nagash for all eternity as a master of poisons. In this showcase post, I share detailed pictures from every angle and explain how I painted the smoke effect.
Showcase: Leagues of Votann Hearthkyn Warriors
Hi everyone! I’m a big fan of the Leagues of Votann, so I was thrilled to see the latest reveal from Games Workshop showcasing new Votann models in their Big Summer Warhammer Preview. These fresh additions are a welcome expansion to the existing range, and for me, it’s vital that new models continue to flow into a faction – it keeps things exciting and dynamic.
Showcase: Grand Cathay Jade Warrior (inc. painting guides)
In today’s post, I’ll show you how I painted one of the new Grand Cathay Jade Warriors. The twist? I limited myself to just the 18 colours from the AMP Cosmic Colour Sets 1 and 2. Want to find out whether this experiment was a success? Read on…

Showcase: Hive Fleet Kraken Hormagaunts & Termagants
Sometimes it takes the perfect motivation to dust off those half-finished projects lurking in our hobby drawers. For me, that spark came with the release of Kill Team: Typhon. Suddenly, my half-finished legacy Kill Team got a new lease of life thanks to the expanded NPO rules in the Typhon dossier. In this post, I show you the remaining models to complete my collection of Hive Fleet Kraken Hormagaunts and Termagants.
Showcase: Aeldari Wave Serpent II (inc. painting guides)
A Wave Serpent completes a 1200-point Ulthwe army. The post discusses the army’s progress, future plans, and includes photography and tips for taking army pictures.
Showcase: Aeldari Hemlock Wraithfighter (inc. painting guides)
How do you motivate yourself to paint a model that is not very good in the game but you really, really want to add one to your collection? Today, I answer that as I share with you my finished Hemlock Wraithfighter, a gorgeous model that is rubbish in the current game of Warhammer 40,000.
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.
