Review: Aeldari Eldritch Raiders Battleforce & new Vyper
The Aeldari Corsairs raid the galaxy with style in the new Eldritch Raiders Battleforce. After literal decades of waiting, the ancient Vyper jetbike finally receives a plastic update, now buildable as either a Craftworlds Vyper or the baroque Corsair Starfang. Alongside it comes Prince Yriel in his new Corsair garb, the first-ever Void Dreamer model, the winged Skyreavers, and the returning Voidreavers. In this comprehensive review, we unbox the entire battleforce in a 4K video, examine every build option with high-res sprue images, and let you know whether these swift raiders are worth adding to your collection.
Review: Huron Blackheart and the Masters of the Maelstrom & Lords of the Maelstrom Battleforce
Huron Blackheart’s reign of terror expands with not one but two new boxed sets. We’re reviewing Huron Blackheart and the Masters of the Maelstrom, featuring the Tyrant of Badab himself alongside his sinister inner circle, as well as the Lords of the Maelstrom battleforce, which introduces the new Red Corsairs Raiders and Reave-Captain. In this comprehensive review, we unbox both sets in 4K, share high-res sprue images, and examine all the build options.
Showcase: Skaven Master Moulder
I’m expanding my Skaven collection one warpstone-tainted creation at a time. Today I’m presenting my Master Moulder, painted using a combination of zenithal priming, Speedpaints, and Contrast paints with additional highlights. This twisted rat-surgeon-butcher yes-yes will eventually join my growing Skaven force for Warcry and beyond. In this post you’ll find plenty of photos plus details on how I achieved the grotesque skin tones and weathered brass effects.
Review: Lumineth Realm-lords Vanari Lord Regent
The Lumineth Realm-lords are receiving a new commander to lead their forces, along with a battletome and multiple army bundle sets. Today we’re reviewing the Lord Regent, a heroic general designed to inspire Auralan Wardens from the front lines. Read further for all the build options and high-res sprue images.
Review: Disciples of Tzeentch Fatemaster & Argent Shards
Change doesn’t stop at the Disciples of Tzeentch model range either. We’re taking a close look at the enigmatic Fatemaster, a charismatic sorcerer-leader, and the mysterious Argent Shards, floating terrain pieces brimming with the magic of change. In this review, we unbox both kits and examine their sculpts and build options.
Review: AK’s new Acrylic Washes
I’m testing the 18 new acrylic washes from AK with the blue cap. Easiest, fastest, and most effective shading – that’s what the marketing promises. Also, loads of realistic brown tones, and you can never have enough brown washes. But can AK’s new washes really do something the others can’t? We’ll find out in this review, with a big comparison of the most popular brands like Citadel and The Army Painter, and of course the old Deep Shade washes from AK that they’re meant to replace.
Showcase: Gundam RX-78-2 HGUC Ecopla black version
Today, for a change, we have not Warhammer but a new Gundam model from my collection: the iconic RX-78-2 in High Grade, in the black Ecopla version. I’ve enhanced this kit with weathering effects and hand-painted glow effects. How I did this, I’ll show you in this post.
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.
