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. I think this camouflage scheme would also look great on other miniatures with a city-fight theme. I hope you like it. This painting tutorial is […]
This month – as I painted a lot of Ravenwing miniatures and will move on to painting Raven Guard Space Marines next week (!) – I decided to share my recipe for painting the black armour plates on a Ravenwing Land Speeder! Of course, this works for any black armour. I hope you like it. […]
The Imperial Knights madness continues. Whatever else, I think Games Workshop’s new weekly release strategy really is paying off with this one, keeping everyone and their dog talking about the new Imperial Knights for weeks on end. I know I caved. So what’s in the second Imperial Knights White Dwarf after the last one gave […]
I have been asked how I make cool bases, especially if I need to do a lot of them for larger armies. The following is a quick guide on how to make good-looking bases for gaming models using the Citadel Texture Paints as a base. In this case, I used Stirland Mud. This hobby tutorial […]

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 […]
I have played DreadBall for a solid year now. With a steady supply of new toys coming from the DreadBall Kickstarter, I had no need to actually buy any DreadBall miniatures the old-fashioned way (as far as ordering from an online-store can be considered “old-fashioned”). With Christmas closing in, I treated myself to a new […]
Gemstones and other ornamentation are important visual elements for a Blood Angels army. Doubly so for blood-drop shaped stones, a central part of Blood Angels iconography. These Terminators from Space Hulk have a lot of details like this sculpted on. Painting them, I decided to paint gemstones purple, contrasting nicely with the red armour. This […]
For a Dark Angels army, it is good to have common elements that ties the different parts of the army – Deathwing, Ravenwing and regular Dark Angels – together. For me, one such element is the red spot colour. The following is a brief tutorial on how I paint the red eye lenses on a […]
