WIP: Grey Knight Storm Raven #3
Small update from me today, I’ve done some more freehand work to the Storm Raven, this time the nose of the craft has some brush love. I plan to add the supplied icons to the side doors, that should help break up the large areas…
Showcase: Tyranid Forge World Hierophant I
This is my first Hierophant, not the one you might have been following in the WIP blogs. It’s my older paint scheme. As I mentioned this is my older scheme. Plenty of yellow patterning and the green spot colour. It also has the striping on…
WIP: Grey Knight Storm Raven #2
Small update on the Storm Raven front. I’ve painted some freehand icons on to the wings. I’m really happy with the outcome of these. They’re completely flat, but have a raised look to them. You might also notice I’ve used a really dark blue to…
Showcase: Tyranid Forge World Harridan

WIP: Grey Knight Storm Raven #1
This is the first post of a new project. I really like documenting my progress on Tale of Painters. I find it useful to stay motivated during a big project. I actually started this model yesterday, but the airbrush results were hideous so I re-undercoated…
Showcase: Tyranid Winged Hive Tyrant Conversion
I converted this model back in 4th Edition. It uses an interesting mix of parts to create quite a unique looking Tyrant. more pics and details of what parts I used after the jump. I used Fell Beast wings, but sculpted Tyranid details on to…
Showcase: Tyranid Forge World Hierophant II
I started blogging the painting of this beast on the 1st of March. 12 WIP posts and 29 days later the model is finally complete. This took me a lot longer then 29 days though. I didn’t document the assembly and that was quite time…
