Tutorials
I have been wargaming for nearly 15 years and I thought it would be a great idea to put down all the little tips and tricks I have picked up over the years so that people who are new to the hobby can pick up some really useful tips! All the tips and guides are rated from 1 star to 5 stars (1 being easy and 5 being hard).
Painting and Detailing Guides
Painting - Imperial Fist Armour
Yellow is often seen as a difficult colour to paint well. I have had so many of you ask how I paint my Imperial Fists I have decided to share my technique with you all in this step by step guide.
Painting - Black
Black is a tough colour to get to grips with. Trying to get it still look black after you have applied the highlights
is a problem. This guide shows you one way to get a clean, crisp looking black colour. Once you know a good technique you can apply it to weapons, armour or anything you want!
Citadel vs Vallejo Game & Model Colour (Color) Comparison Chart
After receiving loads of questions about colour mixes and alternative colours people can use to get the same effects, I thought it would be a great idea to make a comparison chart for the main colour ranges I use day to day in my painting. Your favourite colour been discontinued in one range?? No longer a problem just look up the alternative here! N.B. Citadel & VGC are exact colour matches
Sculpting, Converting & Modelling Guides
Repairing pitting and cracking in white metal
COMING 06st FEB
If you've ever bought a miniature only to get it home to find that it has pitting or cracks on areas like cloak folds you'll find this little tip very handy indeed!
A bit of an obsession of mine at the moment is to take older minis that you can't easily get hold of anymore and giving them some treatment in my infirmary. Some I have found in boxes in my attic and haven't seen since I started collecting minis over 15 years ago while others I have purchased from the internet because I really like the mini and haven't already got it myself. Treatments range from simple paint stripping, minor conversions to update weapons/ equipment and then a brand new paint job and base.
The Infirmary
Space Marine Veteran Sergeant
COMING 08th FEB
I picked this miniature from eBay around a year ago, it is the limited edition Space Marine Veteran Sergeant - Web Promotional miniature released in 2008. This is the first miniature I'm working on in The Infirmary. It's been really neatly painted, but as this is such a hard miniature to get hold of and I want to paint it myself the first treatment will be to paint strip it and clean it up. Follow me as on this project and watch how I get on.
