ToP Tip: Best hobby Prime Day deals Oct 2025
Before the whole Black Friday and Cyber Monday craziness begins, Amazon is once again offering a two-day exclusive shopping event in October for Prime subscribers. Alongside all sorts of consumer electronics, the Amazon Prime Days always offer fantastic deals on Joy Toy Warhammer figures as well as airbrushing and photography hobby supplies. To save you the trouble of a long search, I’ve compiled the best deals in this post—naturally, only on items I use myself and have vouched for.

ToP Tip: The best Salamanders 30k & 40k green paints
The Salamanders are not only the “poster boy” faction of the current edition of The Horus Heresy, they’ve also recently received a new Combat Patrol and a model for Vulkan He’stan. But like many Legions and Chapters, their heraldic colours have changed over the centuries. In this post, I’m once again rummaging through my paint archive to put together two green palettes for the Salamanders in the 31st and 41st Millennium.
Tutorial: How to paint Stahly’s purple Nighthaunt
In this tutorial I’ll show you how I paint the iconic purple-grey white of my Nighthaunt models.

After all, being Nagash’s thrall for all eternity is one thing – painting an army for all eternity is quite another.

In this step-by-step tutorial, I’ll show you how to paint grimdark-style Imperial Fists Legionaries for the Horus Heresy using fast and effective techniques like zenithal basecoats, drybrushing, and oil washes. The goal is a gritty, battle-worn look that captures the brutal siege warfare the VII Legion is known for – all without spending dozens of hours on a single model.
