So here’s where we got to in Part 1 painting the Grey Knight and applying the Lava Bases: The colours needed are: Kantor Blue, Caledor Sky, Lothern Blue, White Scar, Guilliman Blue, Druchii Violet Eyes The best place to start are the eyes. What I want to achieve is for the eyes to look like they're…

Here is my finished Stormraven. It's been near completion for a while, but I had some problems when after fully assembling and painting it, I decided I wanted to magnetise the wings. Basically, I realised that with the wings attached it is extremely difficult to transport. I assembled it years ago…

My local Games Workshop recently started running a Battle of the Brush painting competition, and I just had to enter. I picked up a Mangler Squigs box being something completely different to my Grey Knight and Space Wolf army which I am used to painting. The model is great and fits in with my Night…

With the release of the new Eldar codex and Wraithknight, I have a major new challenge to face. Without only a single lose in the last 10+ solo games, for the first time in a long time I was rather unsure how the game would go. Apologies for the terrible photography and old fantasy scenery, you'll…

Tutorial So something I've been using for a while is Instant Mold. It's really quick and simple way of making a copy of different bits I know I only have a limited supply of and will need more of in the future. The first thing I strongly recommend for making two part molds (casting both sides of an…

The steps below are pretty time-consuming, but I believe give good results. Stage 1 - Spray The first step is…

The latest completed miniatures this week are my Grey Knight Purgation Squad. Once again the weapon effects are from ArmorCast. Unfortunately I purchased this squad already assembled and was unable to remove the heads, so several aren't actually facing the way they're shooting. I always used to say…

Here's a quick look of the start of my army of Night Goblins. This is a unit of 40 Spearman, the largest unit of my army. The front row is more or less complete, while the other 3 rows are now just in need of a final layer and highlight. The trick with these guys has been to make them as colourful…

Here's yet another work in progress update. This time it's the progress I've made on my old Dark Vengeance box set, starting with the easiest to paint, the Chaos Cultists. My partner collects a Nurgle army, so I was tempted to paint the boxset to match them by going for a Death Guard army. However…

Once again after completing a squad I thought I'd treat myself to a character. Here is my Grey Knight Chaplain. Chaplains do exist in the Grey Knight lore, but strangely do not appear at all in the last few Codices. Because of this I am forced to proxy him as a Librarian in all my games. I didn't…
