Rattus Vulgaris – Painting Skaven Clanrats step by step
As part of our Tamworth Games Clubs "tale of" event I am currently building a Skaven army. I say building, but its built - one hundred plus grey plastic models glued together (for the most part) to practice the Skaven game plan.
Legion of the Damned as Salamanders
I decided to put my money where my mouth...was. I bought a Legion of the Damned marine yesterday and decided to kit him out for my pre-Heresy Salamanders. Multimeltas are hard to come by with only 1 per Devastator pack, so the choice of model was easy.
Reluctantly I didn't make any changes to the model, but did use a different backpack. To fit with the rest of my Salamanders I made him my usual backpack build and kept the metal pack for another project.
Creating Feral Servitors
I am slowly amassing a Dark Mechanicus force for an upcoming campaign and as such have delved into all things heretical and forbidden. One of my favourite concepts from the Mechanicum book are the feral servitors - wild and dangerous versions of a Techmarine's beloved helpers.
I've used the idea before with my Soulforge themed Daemons, put want to carry the idea with the Mechanicus. For the campaign there's no unique unit for them, but rather than using normal servitors, whom lack any oomph in combat, I use the models as proxy Plaguebearers.
Dark Angels painting tutorial
I noticed in the painting poll that Dark Angels got quite a few votes and having recently started an army I thought I'd put a little tutorial together. Much as Whitehorn/Rusty Dice did with the Space Wolves, this is a 'ready for tabletop' standard painting guide, but I think they look quite good and am pleased with the overall effect that my army is starting to take on in squads. If you are looking for display standard painting tips, I'm afraid you'll need to wait for Kidjal to do a tutorial
Painting Space Marine Legions – Space Wolves
Here is the first painting guide for pre-Heresy Space Marine legions! The first chosen legion is the mighty Space Wolves, decided quite convincingly by public poll.
This is a simple step-by-step guide covering the process involved in painting a marine to a tabletop standard. It has definitely been a good challenge and lesson for myself throughout painting the model. I can certainly see room for improvement and hope that such a thing will happen as this series develops!
