Happy New Year!

Firstly I would like to wish everyone a Happy New Year! It's thanks to you all that I am able to work in this way, I'm incredible grateful!

I've just posted the first video of this year, which is the NMM golden skull mask for the Cult of Paint bust, which was recently part of their kickstarter. This is only the first video in the series, but I will be coming back to it. It's nice to be a...

Update!

I've just posted the latest video, which looks at the Dark Reaper I am painting as part of a unit for a potential Golden Demon entry. The video looks at the armour, golden elements in NMM and the blue hair. I am planning to release some PDFs for these individual pieces just to make it easier to follow specific elements as the video is over an hour long and also features the mistakes and changes...

After getting through that mouthful, I'm trying to quickly get the second video out for both the Nurgle Plaguebearer and the Delaque G...

Orange Blood Angel with a Mustache!

This video looks at how to paint a Blood Angel marine with a more orange feel to the armour. The model was painted as part of Movember for mental health awareness and this also explains why the marine has a mustache! Part of the challenge was to use Troll Slayer Orange as one of the main colours on the model, so I went with Blood Angels to match more of the old school colour scheme that they us...

This week I've released a PDF for the NMM Gold Armour for Rogal Dorn. I painted him for Games Workshop for the release of the Horus Heresy game, so it's been a while coming.

I've been 100% focused on my Golden Demon entry for Germany this week! The model is nearly finished now, although there were some significant problems which nearly caused me to just cancel going to the competition �...

Update!

I've just posted the latest update for the AeldariAutarch, which is my main Golden Demon entry for Germany. I'm keeping the main part of the model a secret for the time being, so it's more exciting to see just before the competition! There has been a lot of work on it with an awful lot of reflections 😅

Don't worry if you were hoping for the second part of the Skaven Arch Warlock, that ...

I've used NMM for the steel and copper, along with a lot of weathering. There will be another video to finish him off.

I also received the rest of the Skaven as review copies from Games Workshop. The...

Update!

Golden Demon Germany is approaching quickly, so it's time to get some entries finished. I have gone back to an older project to finish off as this was originally intended as a GD entry. It's the Aeldari Autarch. I've begun refining areas and making changes to level it up a bit.

The latest video looks at the armour again, plus the pink sash and the NMM elements on the gun. I go into detai...
