Blackstone Fortress: Unit – Spindle Drones, Ambull & Borewyrms
It had been such a strong start – getting the Ur Ghul\’s painted and a solid start on the Spindle Drones. I quickly followed up by finishing the Spindle drones: The spindle drones were much more of a challenge than the Ur Ghuls in a strange way. As with the Ur Ghuls I had decided…

Godsworn Hunt
I started with my now standard approach to preparing for using Contrast paints. I primed the models black (Stynylrez Black Primer) and then used the GW rattle cans to lay down a zenithal of the state approved primer for Contrast Paints (Wraithbone in this case for a warmer tone). I have really had no interest…

Blackstone Fortress: Unit – Ur Ghuls
Working on these Ur Ghul was an interesting experience for me. I don\’t have a particularly large array of GW paints (Contrast excepted). And as such, although I regularly watch Duncan and Peachy\’s painting tutorials – I seldom follow them particularly closely. While watching the Spindle Drones video they put out – I realized I…

Blackstone Fortress: 1.6 Test Model
You can find the start of this project here. This is a really interesting one for me. There are obviously a lot of very different models in this box and in a sense – two opposing factions. So how will we \’unify\’ the whole box into a look? How valuable is the \’Test Model\’ when there…

My Painting Set up
A friend on Instagram was asking about the desk set up that I have for my painting. This is something I have put a lot of thought into but, tried to limit how much I spend on it. My desk set up is for my painting but also doubles as my home office space which…

Removing Candle wax from miniatures
A brief note here for future reference. Having had an accident at the weekend were a bunch of models (unpainted) got knocked into a puddle of spilled candle wax. The result was a bunch of miniatures seemingly ruined. What to do?– DO NOT do this for PVC miniatures (eg most boardgame minis) Get the miniatures…

Painting up some more Nurgley goodness
Whilst I have been spending much of my painting time this year working on competition models, I still want to try and achieve a good volume of painted miniatures. Alongside the work on my Warhammer Fest entry (more in an upcoming post) I have been prepping models to give myself a break from the intense…
