A Votann Speed Paint Tutorial.

It’s been a while since I posted an actual tutorial, and this is something very different. This isn’t going to be a huge, in-depth deconstruction of a convoluted process. Nope, this is about getting models on the tabletop and (hopefully) better than tournament ready. A friend of mine is playing Votann and can struggle from the same massive task that

Black Templars: 20 Man Crusader Squad Completed.

As I try to move through this army I felt it was time to do something really fun, and take a chunk of work on at once. I doubt I would ever do this again as it was a very time consuming squad trying to finish all parts of the process to the same standard across 20 models. Here’s how

My Latest (and last!?) Abaddon Model Finished. A Deep Dive into Painting Choices.

Here’s one of my favorite models in all of 40K. I decided to depar from my very typical facial recipe of a ‘loyalist’ nature, and stray away from tan/bones/and tilt harder towards purples/reds/blues in the skin tone to give an eerie, old look to Abe’s face with an assist from a red hue coming from the helmet. I think the

Black Templars Hobby Update: Featuring a Few Things I’ll Never Do Again!

I decided to push hard on my theory of doing everything I know to get an army on the table, while trying to make it look good. I’ve covered many of the tricks I use, but hope to come up with a valid plan to show everyone just how ‘doable’ this is. But here I bit off too much for

Hobby Update: A Quick Break from Templars to give you this Iron Update.

Iron Warriors are still getting a lot of work done every time I need a break from the Templar scheme which is quite a bit of work (I’ve never liked to paint with just black paint so I always feel the need to make things more difficult for myself!) So here’s a few quick shots of the 10 man Iron

A New Crusade Begins…. Again! Black Templars Hobby Update

Here’s something I decided I wanted to get back into. I thought it was time to revisit my first real 40K army from the old days…. again. So I picked up that patrol box, and the new Phobos Kill team. Here’s how things are looking: I’m really happy with how these turned out. The difficulty in starting a new army

Painted Daemons Showcase: Daemons of Khorne.

Here’s some pics of the army as it stands: And that is the army as it stands! Some older hounds in here (resin) but I still really like the classic look. Thanks for looking! Prot.

A New Chaos Iron Warriors Test Theme.

The new Chaos codex is officially released as I write this. The sheer amount of combo’s and interesting army ideas buzzing around my head make me feel like Huron with that Hamidraya constantly nattering in his ear. Here’s what I’ve come with for the new look Iron Warriors. I used the new(er) Warpsmith model of course, and a couple of

The Wolf time cometh! Finished Space Wolves Hobby Update.

I’m not going to waste words…. while I’m not sure if I’ll keep going with this army (it may well be on eBay by the time you read this!), I do like how it is looking. After a lot of colour theory experimentation, and seeing how deep down the rabbit hole of ‘grimdark’ I wanted to go on these, I

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.
