Video Showcase: Space Marine Heroes Series 1
I thought celebrating 10 years of Tale of Painters would be the perfect occasion to finally make one of the announcements from my 2021 hobby resolutions come true and launch my YouTube channel with my first ever video: an epic showcase for my Space Marine…

Today I present you my take on painting the iconic green armour of the Sons of Nocturne, in an easy to follow step-by-step tutorial, painted with the budget-friendly Warpaints range from The Army Painter we reviewed recently. Check out the detailed instructions after the jump….
Showcase: Salamanders Space Marine Heroes Brother Calistus
Here he is, my painted Brother Calistus (or Infernus, as he is called in the Space Marine Adventures game) from the Space Marine Heroes blind box series 1. He was a lot of fun to work on because I have never painted a Salamanders Space…
WIP: Salamanders Space Marine Heroes Brother Calistus

Showcase: Salamanders Pyroclasts (and an AoS idea)
