Showcase: Grey Knights Contemptor Pattern Dreadnought
I love this model so much and I completed it just before I joined Tale of Painters. I wanted a striding pose with lots of movement because dreadnoughts can tend to look static. It’s a great kit and with lots of posable options because the…
Review: RDG Tools Airbrush and Compressor
Alamo recently contacted me on Tale of Painters enquiring about airbrushes. I thought I’d write up a review on the kit I use. This kit pictured above can be bought from the link below: http://www.rdgtools.co.uk/acatalog/AIRBRUSH_KITS_AND_SPARES.html The first thing you will notice is the price, it’s…
Dreadfleet: WIP of the Bloody Reaver
A little WIP shot of the Bloody Reaver I’m working on. I can’t say I’m enjoying it much. It’s quite challenging model to paint with so many pieces. But I’m slowly getting there.
Thunderhawk: We need guns… lots of guns. Part 2.
I’ve been very quietly recently… sorry about that. It was my birthday the other day and I was away for the weekend swimming with Sharks in Europe’s largest shark aquarium. It was awesome. Enough about my birthday though, I’m just starting to get my hobby…

Showcase: Completed Grey Knight Purgation Squad
Regular followers of the blog would have seen the WIP around a week ago, well I finished my Grey Knight Purgation squad yesterday. I don’t normally spend this long (23 days) painting 5 models, but I was working on these in-between the Thunderhawk, which is…
W40K Boba Fett Conversion
I made this model in August as a bit of a fun project. I know this is a GW only blog, but technically I can share this with you guys because it’s made out of 40k parts and is 40k scale. I used Catchan Commander…
Thunderhawk: Tail fin
Well today’s entry is all about the rear stabilising tail fin and ailerons. I’ve cleaned the pieces up as shown in the pic above. In these pictures you can see a groove in the engine, it’s important this is facing upwards otherwise the tail fin…
Thunderhawk: Landing Gear Part 2
Brother Sergeant Chronus is mightily impressed with the landing gear. Can you believe that with all the straightening, filing, sanding of all the parts, the actual landing gear needed no work! It was a perfect level fit. Close up shot of the front and rear…
