Product review: Maxmini – Feral Heads

Hot off the anvil this week, the Polish mail swifty delivered us a pack of Maxmini's newly released Feral heads. With the poll for next company to review clearly showing Maxmini as favourite, this review seemed inevitable.

Creating Pre-Heresy marines – part 2

As part 1 was well received, I am quite hyped about producing more tutorials and extending the existing guide. A few questions have been asked in response to part 1 which I shall first address:

I do intend to paint the model created in part 1. I don't intend to produce a guide for painting the model, but showing the finished item is a great way to round off the article.
