How to Paint Grimdark Space Wolves

I should start by saying I want to make this very easy, with a few options and this is after a few tests of my own that I did not like. When it comes to Wolves, I’ve never really liked the easter egg shell look that can be the result of bright primers, and baby blue hues with yellow accents.

Prot’s Eldar Scheme Finalized. The First Finished Models and Test Models.

Sometimes when I’m deciding on a scheme I get asked how I come up with my recipes whether it be my Ultramarines, or Custodes, or these Eldar. And I always say it’s just a little extra work but it goes a long way. What I mean by that is use a simple test model, and get the ‘uncertainties’ out of

Ultramarines go for sale, and a Hobby Update.

Well I never thought I would sell my Ultramarines again after selling them two times previously. I took great care to make sure this one would be better than my last two. I wanted this Guilliman to be better than my last. The infantry would be a step up, and I tried to maintain that all the way through to

Adeptus Custodes Hobby Update. Valoris, Virtus Praetors and Custodian Guard Pictures.

An Update of an Instant Classic. I love the Custodes background. All of it. The novels, the models, the playstyle, etc. But what can turn into a grind is doing the gold ‘properly’. For me I’m always looking for ways of aging the gold in a ‘classic’ appearance without diminishing the stunning effect that an army of gold can look

Easy Glow Effects with Vallejo Mecha Colour

I wanted to do a quick, but honest look at the Vallejo Mecha colours and show you what I really think they’re good for. I think they’ve been out about a year as of this writing, and they are defined by a very high contrast, rich colour saturated appearance. This is one of the reasons I don’t use it in

Deathworld Terrain in 45 Minutes or Less!

So if you’re like me you’d much rather play 40K than build and paint terrain. But I do believe part of a great experience comes from great terrain. I won’t lie… the Deathworld Terrain never appealed to me. “Aquarium trees” probably best describes my initial reaction. But they’ve grown me as I’ve seen them applied on different boards, and to

New Deathwatch Kill Team Releases!

Just a very quick update because I’ve been waiting with baited breath for this one… Deathwatch have been spotted in the release rotation for Kill Team. As we know every race is getting their own box set which basically follows the pattern of: A Squad of your faction’s Kill Team. A Set of Terrain pieces which come with their own

Hobby Update: Custodes II, Valoris Completed, and Death Guard Depart.

It’s been a hectic couple of weeks but if you’re reading this it’s for the hobby content, so let’s get right into it. Sadly I’ll start with the sale of the Death Guard. It did not take long to sell them, but I find it hard to let something go you’ve worked on for a really good amount of time.

Alternate Face Painting Method: A look at the Vallejo Face paint line.

It wasn’t too long ago that I shared what I consider to be a real easy way to add some realism into your face painting projects by simply using inks to transition over your base skin tones, and eventually end up with a finished product. If you haven’t seen it, or want to see it, that article is linked here:

Prot’s Painted Armiger Showcase Video

  In the spirit of 40K, I did a little homage to the painted Armigers on youtube, and want to have it here for reference. I think it’s safe to say most of us can’t wait to see what the actual, full Imperial Knight Codex gives us!
