Let's take a look at the Plastic Soldier Company Zis 2/3. For the odd person that is unaware, recent errata/changes made the soviet Zis 2/3 guns medium guns rather than large and reduced the crew from 5 to 4 for the non artillery guns. This means…
The dust has finally settled after the recent run up to the Necromunda campaign weekend, and what a superb weekend it was all-round. Good games and good company, what more can you ask for, it all ran very smoothly thanks to Scipio’s superlative organis…
Finally a proper bit of painting action as I’ve finished of my DB Robots.Once again it was something of a suck it and see paint job especially as I was trying out a couple of new techniques. I wanted a rusty bronze look and fancied trying out some sour…

Second-to-last round of the 7th Lead Painters League over on the Lead Adventure Forum, and it’s more Pulp Figures for me, with a cadre of suspicious characters lurking in a back alley somewhere! These guys will be great fun in … Continue reading →
I mentioned in my previous workbench post about an Obliterator I had mostly complete. I took a few shots of him this morning to show. I just put on basing material before taking this shot so if you see snow on the model that’s why; I haven’…
Recently I was asked to throw up some basing tutorials, so here we go, such things I have learned about basing as you may find useful. I’ll be doing a few of these, I imagine.1. The PorridgeI’ve already posted on this, you can read about it here. Howev…
Happy Saturday, blog-lovers! Hope you’re having a great day so far. We don’t normally put up a blog post on a Saturday, so it’s just a quick one. I wanted you guys to see the other Undead videos that were sent to us by YouTube’s very own squidgybidge. (Also, I’m cheating. I’m actually writing this on [...]
Hey gang! It’s been a day since I admitted to my distinct lack of a Kings of War army, but I left the office last night with my head held high, full of excitement and eager to get building! Unfortunately, being a bit rubbish when it comes to self-motivation, I ended up going for a swim, [...]
Painting Oaths has been a positive influence, not just to my painting; but also my personal life. So to have this group pushing me and making me grow as a painter, has been a tremendous benefit to me. This month has … Continue reading →
Hey folks, Here with a small update. Lately I have been pushing to finish all of my projects that I currently have on the go. I finished those Dark Eldar, and I have moved onto some Warmachine miniatures and the Deathwing Terminators. While the Deathwing [...]
Despite Army Painter Quickshade having served me well for most of the army, I decided to dispense with it for a handful of models.The K’daai Fireborn were the second of the two additions courtesy of Salute 2012. They were much better cast than the Iron…
Hey folks – Here we go again. Life has stabilized a bit, my family has moved in with my parents until my new house is ready and we have found some consistency and routine and things are starting to feel normalish again. With that I have…
Just some Chaos Space Marines (Alpha Legion) I painted for a friend. Worked them up from some existing basecoats that were on them already. 
The pressure of trying to paint these models in time, is starting to get to me. My main focus seems to be on the Kraken just now, to the point that the Blood Hags are just being left unfinished just … Continue reading →
Gauging Detail I don’t know about you but when I’m painting figures or making scenery it’s sometimes difficult to decide how much detail I should add. Often adding too much detail can make a figure look unrealistic as the super ……
In an effort to get models ready for an event at the end of this month, I started working on this Chaos Terminator. I did finish off the last Obliterator I needed but forgot to get a shot of him. This model is 99% done, I just have to go…Read MoreThe…
The OH-6 Loach is one of Battlefront's earliest forays into an all plastic kit, and I am a really big fan. The kit is easy to assemble, is comprised of few pieces, and is relatively inexpensive at $26 for two Loaches (including 2 flight stan…
And with a squelch of stinking black mud, the half dead return.May was a complete wash out for me on the hobby front. A perfect storm of deadlines conspired to keep me at work almost literally every waking moment. I would look forward to special treats…
So I have been spending a whole lot of time playing Warmahordes and doing modifications or conversions on my Trollbloods army. So my painting time has suffered a bit. However I did get a bit of time this last little bit to work on this litt…
Apologies for lack of updates and pics of the models I am painting. This is due to the vagaries of the welfare system in the UK, in respect to how easily someone can screw you over with a simple mistake. … Continue reading →

Work took me to Victoria for two busy days this past week. I didn’t get a chance to visit Fort Rodd Hill or the naval museum. But I did get an hour to walk through Miniature World. Now in its 42nd year of operation, Miniature world is a collection of d…
There are a lot of things people do with their hobby time. Most people play their games, paint their figs, research their lists, drool over the latest models. But everyone i believe has their “secret” hobby, or their hobby within a hobby. What cou…
