Warhammer 40K & Wargaming Blog
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 […]
It’s always great if hobbyists drop me a line or two about their projects and events through my contact form. Early this week, I received a huge dropbox folder full of pictures from the 2nd Golden Dwarf Painting Competition in Athens, Greece. I can’t possibly post them all, but here’s a small selection of entries […]
This is a tutorial on using two of Games Workshop’s Citadel technical paints – ‘Ardcoat and Lahmian Medium – to apply decals to miniatures in a way so they appear to be perfectly part of the armour and are not clearly discernible as decals applied on top of the paint of a miniature. This painting […]
Slimy bugs are the talk of the town these day, both on Kickstarter and in Warhammer 40K. Personally, I’ve never managed to start a Warhammer 40K Tyranid army, but there is no denying that slime, claws and chitin bring out some of the most amazing paint-jobs in the hobby. Time to take a look at […]
Hussar 2013 on the 19th was the 4th Hussar Painting Competition held in Poland. Miniature painters assembled and showed off their best. I wasn’t there, but pictures were shared on Facebook (many thanks to Joker Studio.. shoot them a like!). Here are 10 of the amazing entries (in no particular order). #1 – Meadow of […]
Ok. I am in the middle of establishing a Pins of War Forward Operating Base in the lead belt. Part of that will be setting up a new corner for me to paint. Paints and brushes, I can mostly take from home I believe. Most of the other equipment, I will have to get new, […]
By good fortune, I got my hands on another copy of the Ravage Miniatures Gaming Magazine: Issue #9, after Ravage #5 I read in January and again in a printed version, and not for the iPad. Time for a review! This issue is titled August-September 2013, so it isn’t truly up-to-date (and feels more dated […]
A few days ago, having been asked to write this review about a new line of paintbrushes, I began to think about how important my brushes really are to me. Without doubt, my brushes and my paint are my most important tools. What would a miniature painter be without his brush? That’s like a burger […]
Games Workshop’s UK Games Day 2013. Let’s get the basics out first. I didn’t really enjoy this year’s Games Day. Not nearly as much as I enjoyed Games Day 2012. Not everything was bad at this year’s Games Day and I see why some of the changes were made – in theory. The most change, […]
As there weren’t actually any games on Games Day 2013 (outside of the valiant efforts by the guys from Fantasy Flight to demo some of their board games), the Golden Demons and Armies on Parade painting competition were the only “fan-contribution” to the event (beyond shopping). Here’s a choice of 5 miniatures from the Golden […]
