Showcase: Genestealer Cults Nexos

Showcase: Warcry Sundered Fate Boxed Game (inc. painting guides)

Completely painting a boxed set from start to finish is a lot of work, and requires stamina and determination. You have to put the hours in or it just won’t happen. To celebrate the completion of this monumental task, it’s time for me to break out the camera and share my finished Warcry Sundered Fate set.
