Showcase: Primal Lair terrain for Beastgrave
I saw a hobby phrase on Twitter the other day and it summed up this week’s painting project perfectly. Have you heard of ‘palette cleanser’? It’s a play on ‘palate cleanser’ (a neutral-flavored food or drink that removes food residue from the tongue allowing one to more accurately assess a new flavour). Well ‘palette cleanser’ is the hobby equivalent and in this context it refers to a quick and easy painting project to clear the way for another painting project. After the jump I’ll talk about how I painted this set.
Showcase: Necron Canoptek Reanimator
Towering above the battlefield the Canoptek Reanimator uses it’s long limbs to stride over battlefield debris.

After the jump, I take a look it’s rules and share a group shot of all my Necrons so far.
