Only a few days later and another character complete. But, this isn't just any character, this is Castellan Garran Crowe, head and Brotherhood Champion of the Purifier Order. A nobler exemplar of the Grey Knights would be impossible to find. He is considered a flawless soul, immune to the…

Here is my next completed miniature, a minimally converted Grey Knight Librarian. I'm getting closer to finishing off my Grey Knight army with only a few squads and vehicles left. I also think I've finally found the photography technique that I will continue with from now on. Miniature Review There…

Today I completed my Grey Knight Interceptor Squad! As always it's taken longer than expected, but I'm really happy with the final result. The first step was to try, and pose them dynamically with a feel of movement as they are effectively the Grey Knight Assault Squad unit. However, each…

Finally! It's been a while since my last post, I've just got so tired of painting silver!

The camera and lens are around 5 years old, so not cutting edge tech, but it is a massive upgrade to what I've been using…

It started off as a standard Dreadnought, to which I added the Paladin/Terminator banner and Dreadknight incinerator head and fuel canisters, along with a metal support. I also added the Dreadknight…

As mentioned in my previous article I've been working on my first green character. Well he's no goblin, but is a really cool classic Black Orc Warboss, and I think he should keep all those gobos in line. Meet Morglum Necksnapper! Morglum Necksnapper was the leader of the mighty Necksnapper tribe of…

Remember these? Spot any differences? They are my Realm of Battle Boards with a bit more work done as I wasn't happy after completing them around 6 months to a year ago. So the problem I had after finishing off the boards was sealing the snow. I applied a special glue that very firmly attached the…

So to start of my Space Wolves army I thought I'd start big, and you don't get a lot bigger than an Imperial Knight! It is possibly the most impressive miniature I have ever painted and likely will remain that way for a good while to come. I much prefer the pose over the out of the box pose of the…
