This tutorial concludes the series on how to paint Grey Knights by adding the classic lava bases, although this could be used for any miniatures. For the previous tutorials on painting Grey Knights see Part 1 and Part 2. I find the base is just as important to the overall look of a model as the…

While looking online for a new super glue, I thought I would also look to replace my Games Workshop Plastic Glue. I believe having the plastic fuse together, rather than having a medium to hold the pieces together, should form a much stronger bond now all Games Workshop's miniatures are now plastic.…

The entire side with the tower is now complete and the roof and wood is complete on the other side. There’s just a huge amount of detail on this kit that you only start to see the more you paint it…

With my second Dreadknight (see my first here) I wanted to create a new pose, to stop them looking too similar. I largely followed this post. It basically involved cutting the left leg in half just below the joint, following the rounded joint and re-positioning it and giving it a bend. I also…
