Recently, I found myself painting a lot of Tau, so I thought it would be a good idea to share my paint-recipe for easy Tau armour. It really can be done in three simple steps. I hope you enjoy this tutorial. This painting tutorial is a guest article by Tom from Mini Brush Studio. For […]
It can’t accelerate worth a wheep and it turns slower than a comet, but if you get in its sights, it can blow you to itty-bitty pieces. It would be embarrassing to have to inform your family you got shot apart by a shuttle, so stay alert. It’s been nearly 3 waves into Fantasy Flight’s […]
I recently completed painting a Raven Guard Space Marines force. I painted the Camo-Cloaks of the scouts in an urban camouflage scheme that I present in this months painting tutorial.

In this tutorial I present a short guide to painting gold with Citadel Metallic Paints. There are different ways […]
Merry Christmas everyone. I hope you’ve all had some great days (and lots of wargaming-loot below the tree). I’ve been packing my things and getting ready for a nice week of winter-holiday. To truly unwind (and due to technical constraints), Pins of War as a whole is going on a week-long holiday. I’ll be checking […]

This is a guest-post by Jeff La Belle & Crew, backers of Total Extinction on Kickstarter. Preparing a Game of […]
