WIP: Ultramarines Bike Squad Assembling
In our recent Tale of Mega Painters recap I raised the question whether I should paint something for my Eldar or my Ultramarines next. Most people voted for Ultramarines, so here we are. This will be a bike squad of five, I will probably only…
Chat: Switching paint ranges
Let’s start off by declaring my love for the new Citadel paint range. That’s right internet, you heard me. “I’m a GW fanboy and proud of it”. Seriously though, there is always a downside to discontinuing a range of paints and that is will the…
Showcase: Tyranid Attack Boxed Game
Who is old enough to remember this? Or perhaps you remember the same game of a different name called Advanced Space Crusade? I never had the opportunity to purchase this when I was in the hobby in the early 1990s, so when I saw this…

Showcase: Space Hulk Ultramarine Terminators
Utterly inspired by Rev’s cool Imperial Fist Space Hulk Terminator I thought I’d dust off my Space Hulk Terminators and post them on Tale of Painters. More boys in blue after the jump. The first picture above shows the awesome Terminator Librarian. I think the only…
