Showcase: Batch Two. 9 Goblins from the Hobbit
That’s another 9 Goblins complete. I’m really pleased with how quickly I can paint a batch of these. In between batches, I’m painting a dwarf or two just to break up the project. I’m really pleased with the project so far. I’m just over half…
Tutorial: How to paint Gloin the Dwarf from The Hobbit
If I had to describe what a Dwarf looks like, I would pretty much describe Gloin. This model is all dwarf, from his red fiery beard to his twin axes. He was great to paint as well. These models are smaller then what I’m use…

WIP: Black Legion Chosen Chaos Space Marines. Dark Vengeance.
I’ve been following my own tutorial whilst painting the last Chosen models from Dark Vengeance. I’m up to step 18, so not too much more to do before they’re complete. The tutorial doesn’t cover flesh, so I’ll have to come up with something for that which…
