Gretchin or Grotz are basically a smaller subspecies of Orks, who are more cowardly than normal Orks and are usually used as living shields, to clear mine fields, are stepped on to get through difficult terrain, and sometimes even as emergency rations. Gretchins are quite low in the strict…

So I painted this miniature back in April 2015 and never got round to writing a blog post. Unfortunately I only have one photo and don't have the finished piece at hand buy hey, better late than never! The Brotherhood Champion ... Miniature Review I always used to really like the pose of this…

So after several months of periodic work my first piece of terrain, Skullvane Manse, is complete and matches perfectly with my Realm of Battle Boards. It’s not designed for 40k, but it looks so awesome I think I’ll still be using it in games. It doesn’t look massively out of place in my opinion, and…

I thought I’d share the progress I’ve made so far on this massive piece of scenery, Skullvane Manse. 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…

Inquisitor Coteaz used to be my favourite character back in 6th edition and always lead my army, although normally from the rear with my purgation squad.

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…

So I finally got round to finishing off my Night Goblins. This 40 strong unit of Night Goblin Spearmen ended up not requiring that much more work from when I last posted my WIP update. From that past WIP post I went through the rear 3 rows adding several layers of green to bring out that colourful…

After my Space Marine purchases last week, I've finally got my Space Wolf Centurions fully assembled. I only added a few bits onto each to blend them into my Space Wolf army. The main change was to swap the heads, but a few more subtle additions include wolf pelts and trinkets, a forge hammer…

Here is the progress I've made so far on this exciting new project, a Leviathan Crusader. I'm not currently sure if I'm going to use it as. It's about the same size as a Warhound Titan, but looks nothing like it. It would fit the role of a Reaver Titan much better, but unfortunately isn't quite tall…
