Showcase: Gundam RX-78-2 HGUC Ecopla black version

Review: Kill Team: Shadowhunt
Here comes the Tale of Painters review of Kill Team: Shadowhunt, with an unboxing video in 4K, high-res sprue images, and a list of all build options. On the industrial world of Garranox, the feral Murderwing searches for dark malefic energies, and clash with the witch-hunting Celestian Insidiants of the Adepta Sororitas. Alongside two new kill teams, Shadowhunt also contains rules and missions for the Descent killzone, which links the Volkus and Tomb World settings on a two-part game board. All that and more in this post.
Tutorial: How to paint Nurgle Rotswords with metallic green armour
In this tutorial I’ll show you how to paint the new Rotswords of the Maggotkin of Nurgle. Quick and dirty, but the good kind of dirty. For this we’ll rely largely on a sort of Slapchop-plus-technique with zenithal basecoat and Speedpaint, plus Vallejo True Metallic Metal paints and enamel washes for a super simple green metallic effect on the armour. In this post you’ll learn step by step how it’s done.
Showcase: Sons of Horus MkIII Despoiler Squad
Today I’m presenting my Sons of Horus Despoiler Squad. MkIII “Iron Armour” Legionaries meet various upgrade sets and kitbashes for maximum Cthonian flavour. Freshly painted, but unfortunately not quite compatible with the current edition. How that happened, you’ll find out in this post, plus plenty of pictures.
