By Crom! A Conan King Pledge Unboxing

This week, a year after the expected shipping window, Monolith delivered their Conan board game Kickstarter. I'm not really a board game person - the only other one that I have backed and received so far is Loka, River Horse's 4 way elemental chess game - so the sheer scale of the content is a little overwhelming. Still, that won't stop me taking pictures of everything!

King pledge - Main box, Stretch Goal box with little add-on boxes to the left.

Orruk Colour Test

A quick colour test this week, let's take a look!

Can you Hear me now Mother! Pt 1

Some people out there may or may not know about a TV series called Sharpe if not please have a look based off the books by Bernard Cornwell and also the books are very good as well. Ok, you might be wondering why I am talking about TV and books when I am a "miniature painter" well, that's all because one if you know the series/book and if you know Elan13 Miniatures you will know they have a miniature called Can you hear me now mother that is based loosely from Sharpe.

And this will Tie in with my final miniature in the three miniature series by Elan13 miniatures

Wyrd Malifax Rafkin - A work in progress

Some of you may have seen my post on the facebook page earlier this week, of the contents of this month's Model Box Subscription. The theme for this month is 'Horrifying.' One of the models I received was the Rafkin model from Malifaux. This is also my first ever Malifaux model, so I was keen to write a little review of the model, and show you how I prepared the piece.

Odyssey Kickstarter Unboxing from JoeK - Argonauts and more!

It's unboxing time once again! Earlier in the week I had a nice box full of resin turn up from JoeK Minis' Odyssey Argonauts Kickstarter -

Before stepping through the drop, this one is fairly picture heavy. You've been warned!

Face Practice!

 Some of the feedback I had on my GD entries was that the faces needed more work, White Dwarf recently ran an article on this so I decided to try their tutorial out..

The Old Wizzard Show Case.

So for the last two weeks I have been working The old wizard and now its time to see how it all turned out.

Greenstuff Textured Bases - Part 2

Last week I showed you six of the textured rollers from Green Stuff World. This week I painted them up.

Wild Elf Mascot - ArcWorlde Showcase

Short and sweet this week folks!

Following from last week where I worked on the head, it's time to make the ordinary, extraordinary!

On The Desk - Launcelot Part 4 - All about that Base

This week I'm going to talk through creating the base for Launcelot.

Greenstuff Textured Bases - Part 1

I've been looking through my collection of Warhammer models. Everything, apart from those kits I've bought this year, is on square bases. I recently got back into Mordheim, and the rest of the group have converted to round bases. I bought the Greenstuff World textured rolling pins almost 18 months ago, and haven't really given them much use. All that is about to change, as I show you how awesome these rolling pins really are.

Building the Deathwatch Corvus Blackstar - Which Options?

As I prepare for the arrival of my Conan Kickstarter pledge, I've started to clear out a little cupboard space for the boxes, which are pretty hefty and apparently weigh around 7KG between the two boxes. So, the first box out was the box on top - the recent Corvus Blackstar flier from Games Workshop.

Golden Demon Europe 2016 Showcase and Report

 Well Golden Demon Europe was last week, let's see how I got on!

The Old Wizard Pt 1

Continuing on from The Young one I am painting another miniature by Elan13 miniatures called the old wizard.

Five Hour Painting Challenge - Space Marine

Q&A With Gary Devereaux Part 1

It's Q&A time again here at Noobs and their Paintbrush and this month we've managed to drag Purgatory's Gary Devereaux away from his Kickstarter prep to answer some questions!

Blood Angels Special Edition 2016 Marine

Carrying on the Blood Angels theme, I finally got round to painting the 2016 Imperial Space Marine. It's been sat on my shelf, undercoated in red for ages. After a brisk dust off I set to work. This isn't any sort of challenge, that is reserved for the next Blood Angel model I paint.

Quick "Small" Greenskin Recipe - ArcWorlde Boglin

Last week I put together a little tutorial on creating easy dirt bases. This week I'll be focusing on the critter to go on the base, an ArcWorlde Boglin, and how I painted up his skin tone.
