Afternoon #WarHamFam and #WarhammerCommunity I've been #PaintingWarhammer on my Imperial Knight Armigers. With the Deathwing finished I got to focus solely mostly on the Armigers. I wanted this one to have limited yellow and black on it. Almost just the twin ribbons hanging from the back. I did my usual weathered brassy/bronze. It looks rough as can be but with the weathering it'll work out in the end. The armour plates are painted separately on the sprue, it was easier at this stage, although I hadn't done the metallics just yet. Although you can see the bonding studs, which w ..read more

Afternoon #WarHamFam and #WarhammerCommunity I finished #PaintingWarhammer on my Deathwing, but just wanted to show some unseen WiPs of the lava blades. I started with Valejo Game Extra Opaque Heavy Red. Then I stippled on some dark orange in places, then some Troll Slayer Orange. It was the same for the unnecessary Bolter Bayonet.  I mean this was just super easy with very little thought to it. So much so that when I added VGC Orange Fire it felt like it was painting itself From here I just wanted to add some yellow. And with VGC Sun Yellow stippled at the ends they wer ..read more

Afternoon #WarHamFam and #WarhammerCommunity I made this base for my TT Combat Gothic ruins way back when, but I never actually shared it.  The ruins themselves come in two parts, a ground floor piece and this upper floor and I wanted an option so I could have them as two separate pieces. This was built, primed and based for years before I finally painted the small bits of debris the other week And for this I get a Great Big Big Build BLESSED VERDIGRIS Stamp of Approval, because it was built in 2021/22 Season. I primed the bases with my truly awful Simoniz Red Oxi ..read more

Afternoon #WarHamFam and #WarhammerCommunity I've been #PaintingWarhammer on my Imperial Knight Armigers. I've got on with the Red Planet BASE! ? in my usual fashion. Army Painter Rough Iron was used everywhere else for the metallic basecoat. Some of the debris on the base needs to be picked out later on in the process, but for now the base is complete. The 'running' Armiger was progressed at the same stage. I started the modelling process January 22nd, but these pics were from February 19th. At the time I was still painting the Deathwing, but this was hobby butterfly mode. I was l ..read more

Afternoon #WarHamFam and #WarhammerCommunity I've been #PaintingWarhammer on my Deathwing Strikemaster. Now I don't know if this exists anymore but either way - SURPRISE! Yes this model has been kept secret all along [well I mentioned it a little bit in my Hobby Season review] because, well I'm doing the classic Dark Angel pose of 'swords as walking sticks'.  A pose I've openly been aghast/against/agape[?] since I realised it had become nearly as cliche as 'tactical rocks'. Sure the original fantasy art trope looks cool, but power swords? C'mon, you'd be hilt deep with it turned on ..read more

Morning #WarHamFam and #WarhammerCommunity I've been #PaintingWarhammer on my 16 Deathwing. And here we have the pics on white background for the connoisseurs. I had to fall back on Camera360 for my red pics, my recent app Ektachrome, that recreates digital pics in the style of Fuji Velvia film no longer works. Really annoying. Anyway, back to the miniatures themselves. These were quite the challenge to do, my spreadsheet had 460 elements to paint. Some were more complex than that or bundled together but it became an absolute mission to get them done. And here we have all 10 Deathw ..read more

Afternoon #WarHamFam and #WarhammerCommunity I've been #PaintingWarhammer on my Deathwing. For the most part this has been over a year in the making having started them in February 2023. Of course the models have been updated, with new Dark Angels and upgrades to better match the chonky Primaris scale. I still think these have more character though. I've been somewhat underwhelmed by the new Dark Angel models and lore. Which is a relief as I already have a ton of Primaris to paint so I don't need any other temptations But I long ago came to the conclusion this was just a painting ..read more

Afternoon, I've finally got around to starting my Turnip28 army. I say finally, that's not true, I actually built these in October! I've just finally got around to blogging about them.  Now, I'd say these are exactly as I originally imagined I'd do a Turnip28 squad, back when I first saw Turnip28. But, I've since seen some much weirder and interesting conversions. So, although I'm really pleased with my results I'm also slightly disappointed. But, I know if I was to try to achieve the more esoteric I wouldn't have even got this far.  Anyway, these are Perry Napoleonics, mixed w ..read more

Afternoon #WarHamFam and #WarhammerCommunity I've been a bit busy recently with things so it's been about 3 weeks since I last rocked up at Otty's shed for some game time. After some suggestions that a change in venue is forthcoming it would seem like he's started, but more on that at the end. In the mean time Liam from Blue Warp Studios is continuing his unofficial one man challenge of painting every Middle Earth faction! I mean he's also muscling in on my Dark Angel territory, but they're not the only children of the forest he's been working on - he has Ents! A couple of the characters ..read more

Afternoon #WarHamFam and #WarhammerCommunity I've been #buildingWarhammer on my Imperial Knight Armigers. They've been built for a while now and had quite a lot of progress with the painting. So much so I've found it quite the challenge to fit in WiP pics. Anyway, I love this pose so much. I even got round to adding some 2mm hemisphere gems to it's armour plates [not pictured]. This will give it the look of Heresy era marines, with their 'bonded stud' armour. It's not the best implementation [when you see it] but it'll do for now and add some further uniqueness to the model. I obviously h ..read more
