Showcase: Lord of the Rings Mounted Aragorn
I couldn’t help but notice the complete lack of LotR models on the blog, so I’ve dug out pics of the Aragorn I painted last August for a friend. The slightly smaller scale was interesting to paint. I quite enjoyed it and my friend loved…
Chat: Garfy’s pictorial hobby timeline
Looking at the models I have painted so far this year, I can’t help but notice how much my approach to painting has changed. I paint a lot less nowadays but seem to enjoy it a lot more. I thought it might be nice to…
WIP: Rogue Trader Tyranid Warriors
It has been slow going on these old skool Tyranid Warriors, I’ve been working on them sporadically in-between Dreadfleet ships. I’ve painted a lot of Tyranids in the past (including these back in the early 90’s) but I must say, the detail on these models…
Showcase: Dreadfleet The Shadewraith
I’m quite pleased with the way this turned out. It was painted pretty quick using washes and dry brushing, something I don’t do all that often, but I really like the glowing bright colour. Two ships left to paint.
WIP: Dreadfleet The Shadewraith
Real life has taken priority this week, so the hobby has taken a back seat. Today I wanted to pick up my brushes for a bit of escapism, so decided to work on the Shadewraith. I’m on a bit of a roll with the Dreadfleet…
Showcase: Dreadfleet Grimnir’s Thunder
I thought I would capitalise on the enjoyment of painting the Black Kraken and paint another Dreadfleet ship. I painted the Black Kraken’s arch nemesis, Grimnir’s Thunder. On this model, the majority of the hull is metal. This made painting the model a little time-consuming….
Showcase: Dreadfleet The Black Kraken
Painting the Flaming Scimitar sucked out all my enthusiasm for painting Dreadfleet models. The Black Kraken has restored my faith in the awesomeness of the models in this game. This was so much fun to paint, the model has something that none of the other…
Showcase: Grey Knight 1500pt Army Shot
You don’t get many models in a 1500pt pure Grey Knight force, but you do get some lovely big centre piece models. Despite the lack of models, I still wanted a mix of units to paint. Draigo armies of paladins look so boring! Variety is…
Showcase: Grey Knight Interceptor Squad
I’ve completed my Grey Knight Interceptor squad. I really enjoyed batch painting just 4 models, it feels like such a long time since I batch painted a squad. This year has just been huge centre piece models, or individual Dreadfleet ships. Click on the above…
WIP: Classic OOP Tyranid Warriors
I love these old Turkey Warriors. In 1994 aged 13 I jumped on a train after school to buy a box of these. I remember the box, it was purple with some yellow and photograph of 3 warriors on the front. You always stick (or…
