Hello everyone, and welcome to the first of a series of articles exploring different paint brands that we can use to paint our miniatures with. These articles are by no means conclusive, but were written with the intention to evoke debate and a rolling discussion on the various merits or shortcomings of each range. Any feedback or personal experience would be highly appreciated. First up, the one...

Merry Christmas everyone. For a festive treat, I've been lavishing my attention on the Sanguinius sculpt i've been working on. This will be the last W.I.P shoot for the Primarch, the next entry will be the painted, final version. Below are a few images that I have used to inspire and inform me during the process of creating the IX Legion's Primarch. Angelicus By the wonderful Aenerion...

I painted the majority of this army in a week from start to finish. Working through a wall of green scropions was an endurance test (made a lot easier by my airbrush). I indulged myself with the Shadow Specters taking a long time to consider the best scheme to highlight these fabulous sculpts. LilLos...

These Wraithlords are a part of a Biel Tan commission, and I like to think that in life they were brothers. Perhaps these guys are the Phil and Grant Mitchell of the afterlife? I added a few freehand designs to break up the large flat surfaces of the miniatures.  LilLos...

Ogre butcher commission. Client want me to fill in the gut and bulk the model out a bit. I didn't want to compromise the muscular brute vibe the Ogre range has, so I made sure that he retained the look of a powerful monster. I sculpted this using a mixture of green stuff and pro create (my first time using this; loved it). The model was then given a wash of Vallejo plastic putty to smooth over...

What fantastic miniatures these are! I tried to paint these as if they are constructed of light, using purple, green and blue washes to build up, what I think it, an interesting white armour.  LilLos...

Andrealphuas, translated from its Calabanite origins, means 'Transformation to the Crow'. This unusual name was awarded to the Librarian upon his ascension into the Deathwing in recognition of his unusual talent of transforming his enemy psyker's into bitter, black crows.   Andrealphuas earned his place amongst the first company during Abbaddons 13th Black Crusade on the...

This is a birthday present for a friend. I used a tight palette of Eldrich colours, concentrating on developing the mood of the piece. I really loved painting this miniature; so much so I want to paint an Eldar army based solely on the interpretation of light (using only Jes Godwin + Forgeworld models). LilLos...

I went to the extra effort of sculpting a broken blade on Belial's Stormbolter. Belial, the incumbent Grand Master of the Deathwing order. This model acts as the jewel in the crown of my Deathwing force and is atypical of the design principles I have used throughout...
