Age of Sigmar - Slaughterpriest
This week, I decided that I'd get back on with my Khorne Army for Age of Sigmar. This is a project that will see me through until the end of the year. I have had this Slaughterpriest on my WIP bench for a while, and this week seemed like the perfect time to finish it off.
Paint Recipes Index
Welcome to the Index page for our new paint recipes section!
Recently a group was founded on Facebook, dedicated purely to the sharing of painting recipes, from elaborate multi-glaze NMM to tricks and shortcuts for getting things on the tabletop in record time. You can find the group right here! We offered up the blog as a place to host an archive of the recipes shared - you're currently looking at the index of that very archive.

Reflections on the painting mojo
This week I'd like to return to a topic I've discussed before and share some more thoughts I've been having around my painting mojo..
Purgatory's Siren - A Closer Look
For the final A Closer Look for a little while, I had quite a choice to make. In one hand I had the new Toughest Girls in the Galaxy Freebies from Raging Heroes' second Kickstarter. In the other I had Siren from Purgatory. There are probably dozens of blogs and videos about the former already, so I'm going with Siren (whom I like more anyway ;) )
The Five Hour Painting Challenge - Scibor Dwarf
This week, may I introduce to you a new monthly feature: The Five Hour Painting Challenge!
The idea is to paint one model within a 5 hour time limit. I got the idea shortly after painting the Feral Nexus this past week (which took around 4 hours to complete). I recently subscribed to the Model Box mail order service, and was pleasantly surprised by the random selection of models I received. The Model Box I received in July had the Feral Nexus, and the Scibor Miniatures Dwarf Wild Warrior you are about to see.
ArcWorlde Unithorn from Warploque Miniatures
Last week saw me playing with my new airbrush and starting out practicing on the Unithorn from Warploque Miniatures. The practice didn't go quite to plan, so instead it became a session of playing with inks and sponge. I continued working on it this week and it's finished!
Desperation! WIP: Part 2
A bit more progress this week, we start on the cast of characters which are going to go the base..
ArcWorlde Njorsvald Preview Set - A Closer Look
As you should have heard by now, Warploque Miniatures are heading back to Kickstarter at the end of September to fund the production of their new ArcWorlde Expansion - Troubles in the North. They've taken an interesting step in releasing a small number of models that will appear in the campaign in lovely Warploque Resin. In today's A Closer Look, we'll be taking a peek at the Njorsvald Preview Set.
Feral Nexus, by Icarus Miniatures
This week, instead of churning out even more WIP shots of ongoing projects, I decided to paint a random model I received in my subscription to Model Box. For those of you that don't know what Model Box is - its a monthly subscription, whereby you receive a bunch of models, paints and accessories for the hobby. I took a punt on the one in July and got the model I have painted today.
Learning to Airbrush - First Steps
Last week I got an airbrush for my birthday - more particularly a Harder & Steenbeck Evolution so this week I've been teaching myself how to use it.
Desperation! WIP: Part 1
Che Guevara P1.
This year at the Talford show my Club's theme is Iconic and one of the models I decided to do for it is Che Guevara.
Tilly Tumbleworth from Statuesque Miniatures - A Closer Look
After last week's foray into playing cards we're back with miniatures for today's Closer Look. More specifically, we're looking at Tilly Tumbleworth from Statuesque Miniatures.
Book of Nox - Unboxing and Product Review
I attended the UK Games Expo on Saturday 4th June, where upon I stumbled across a small independent stand. I was drawn to the 3D Dungeon Tiles and from there proceeded to have a chat with the games creator, before making a purchase. There were two version on offer - standard and deluxe. The deluxe version is the one I will review today. Unfortunately I haven't had a chance to play this game yet, but I am going to rectify that in the not too distant future.
This is my first crack at an Unboxing (or should I say Un-Nox-ing) review. I wanted to add variety to my Sunday slot. Also, you'd better sit down to read this, it's rather long...
The Box of Shame
All hobbyists have one. No, not the place you hide stuff you don't want found by parents/children/significant other. That place that you put the WIP projects that you aren't quite feeling, things that you try something new on and it doesn't quite work out how you intended so don't go any further and those projects you put aside when "ooh shiny" syndrome strikes and a new toy appears on the table.
The box/drawer/cupboard of shame. And I'm opening up mine for show and ridicule.

Q and A with Ernesto
We are very pleased to be able to bring you a Q and A with Ernesto Reyes Stalhuth.
It's all just Work, Work, Work (in Progress)
I currently have three projects on the go, and I'd like to share some of my progress. I have taken a back seat to the Stage by Stage Guides this week and concentrated on blocking in base colours on a selection of models. All of the Stage-by-Stage guides I have published so far have been used in some capacity on the ongoing projects I have at present.
Kharis, Vampire Queen Bust from Kabuki Studio - An Unboxing
Today's post sees me unboxing Kharis, the Vampire Queen from Kabuki Studio. She's a 1/8th Scale bust made of resin and comes including a plinth.
WIP Warrior Priest: Part 4
A bit more work on the base this week, starting to add the light effects which was my main aim for this piece..
New type of paintbrush holder.
As some of you all know I am a huge fan of the tools of miniature painting and have almost all of it whether I know how to use it not. I have been very lucky to be able to be around wile
Shae, Elven Ranger from Heresy Miniatures - A Closer Look
We're back with Heresy Miniatures for this week's A Closer Look at Shae the Elven Ranger.
Stage-by-Stage Guide to... Painting Skulls.
This week's Stage-by-Stage is my guide to painting skulls. I like to make my skulls and bones look old and tired, but still retaining a stark highlight. I haven't gone with Screaming Skull/Ushabti Bone for this, but instead I have used Rakarth Flesh as my base colour, and worked it up to white.
This guide is pretty straightforward, and only uses a small palette of colours, which are shown below.
Diane Tianseen Part 1 - Cold Black
Welcome to Part 1 of painting Diane Tianseen from Scale 75. There are actually two variants of Diane at the moment - the large, 75mm version and the Fallen Frontiers 35mm version, which has recently been put up for pre-order on the Scale 75 website. While I have both, I'll be looking at painting the small, resin model opposed to the large metal one :)
Looking for an alternative.
We live in a world where if you have a hobby and need something people will make something for the hobby and charge a fortune when you can normally find the same or an alternative for a lot less.
