Tutorial: How to Paint Bofur the Dwarf from the Hobbit
I’m not afraid to admit I was a little daunted at the prospect of painting Bofur. The small intricate freehand details were a true test. I might have to wear Stahly’s King of Accuracy Crown just for today. Read on to find out how I…
Garfy’s Necrons: Paint Scheme and Fluff
I’m slightly ahead of Stahly on this project because I have some units already painted so I know roughly the direction I’m going in. In this post I want to chat about three things; painting infantry, painting vehicles and the background information for my Necron…
Tutorial: How to paint Nori the Dwarf from the Hobbit
Having completed Nori, I only have four models left to paint for this project; Radaghast, Oin, Bifur and Bofur. This is great news, one final push and I should be done. For now though, I’m pleased to present to you my tutorial to paint Nori….

Tutorial: How to paint Dori the Dwarf from the Hobbit
Hobbit Tutorial number 11 is here! Dori is very similar to Balin to paint and quite easy and achievable in 18 steps. I found this to be a good exercise in how thin I could edge highlight. I’m also finally getting to grips with painting…
