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! However, I finally got round to completing this squad of Grey Knight Purifiers and am so glad they're out the way! So two of these guys I finished months back, but for whatever reason I just never got round to…

So I've been having a play with my photography over the last few days. My partner very kindly has given me her old Sony Alpha A450 and Sony SAL30M28 Alpha 30mm F2.8 Macro Lens. 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…

After spending odd mornings and weekends painting and modelling I’ve finally finished my Dreadnought. 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…

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.…

I've tried loads of different branded super glues, ranging from cheap to expensive. However, I've never found a real unbreakable bond or something with a high strength that also sets fast. After pouring through reviews online for multiple brands I discovered Gale Force N Hobby Glue. Cost At £4.00 a…
