A quick Grey Knight update
December 21, 2012
These are the boys as they stand now. Ignore the blu-tac’d heads… I still have a bit of work to do on the inside of the neck area – needs some decent shading to make the helmets stand out. Stormbolters will be a dark red and I think the cowl of the Justicar needs some … More A quick Grey Knight update
Tale of Gamers – Grey Knights week 2
December 18, 2012
Second week down – more of the details on the Marines have been painted, and I have started work on the bases. There are two examples in the photos below – they are made from Super Sculpey, small (1:48) bricks by PK-Pro and a little bit of cork. They are not too tall and should … More Tale of Gamers – Grey Knights week 2
Tale of gamers – a little progress
December 11, 2012
I have progressed a little with my grey knights but don’t have any ‘proper’ photos – just quick shots from my mobile phone, so I am going to keep them quite small. I wanted to do some gritty demon slaying marines rather than the shiny paragons of light that you normally see Grey Knights painted … More Tale of gamers – a little progress
Putty and Paint – I now have my own account

At the end of November I posted about a new website called Putty and Paint. It is still early days for them and registration is currently controlled and invitation only, but after my post I got an invite to join them (woohoo). I really recommend that anyone interested in miniature painting and wants to look … More Putty and Paint – I now have my own account
Tale of Four Gamers… the beginning
December 5, 2012
Do you remember back in the day, White Dwarf ran a series of articles which basically amounted to painting a certain amount of models a month to slowly build up an army? It was called the “Tale of Four Gamers”, and is a really great challenge for people like Toosh and I who are painters … More Tale of Four Gamers… the beginning
Tabletop Standard Marine…
November 29, 2012
Yup, you read correctly, ‘tabletop standard’… The bunch of guys Toosh and I paint with are all recovering wargamerholics and I have been spending a lot of time recently coveting their beautifully painted armies. The one thing I struggle to do these days is paint multiple miniatures to a decent standard, but I would definitely … More Tabletop Standard Marine…
New kid on the block – Putty and Paint
November 27, 2012
Cool Mini or Not has been a staple for mini painters for ten years now, and for me was the first step outside of Wargames and into miniature painting as a recreational hobby of its very own. They are well known for their ‘hot or not’ scoring system where people get to score what they … More New kid on the block – Putty and Paint
Imbrian Arts Kickstarter
November 27, 2012
Kickstarters seem to be all the rage at the moment and, for miniatures at least, there seems to be a couple of different ways they are used. One is by larger companies as a convenient, hip and ‘modern’ way of taking pre-orders. This is a bit of a twisting of the idea behind crowd funding, … More Imbrian Arts Kickstarter
