Realm of Battle Finished

Here's a walk through tutorial showing how I painted up the Realm of Battle modular board from Games Workshop.  It is on the pricey side of things, but nice details and durable.  I've also done a modular table for much cheaper if you want to check out that video.

I had my first games on this on the 27th with my brother and it was a blast. I also made up a wood frame to keep everything together and stable on top of a table that isn't quite 4 feet wide.  I'll have to make up a tutorial for that one when I get a chance.

Thunderwolf Calvary part 2 (finished)

Here's the second and final part for the Thunderwolf Cavalry painting tutorial.  These guys paint up fairly fast and are fun models.  Can't wait to see them on the table top.

Fenrisian Wolves Assembled

Here's some pics of the new Fenrisian Wolves all assembled.  They go together nicely in 4 pieces.  The bodies are labeled and it appears the heads are interchangeable.  Nice poses and texture, so they should paint up nicely.  They will also go well with my converted dire wolves and on the table top you won't be able to tell the difference (much).

Thunderwolves Painting Part 1

In this post I'm showing how to paint the giant wolves with some live action video and commentary.  I'm using Scorched brown, Bestial brown, Snakebite leater, Vermin brown and bleached bone in progressive layers of dry-brushing/over-brushing/stippling.  The second video will be painting the space wolf marines on their backs.

More Thunderwolf pics

Here's a couple more pics of the thunderwolves before I paint them.  I put some gel medium on the bases to help give some shape once I add snow to them.  These guys are primed now and will be painted up next.

Thunderwolf Assembly

Here's some pictures of the new Thunderwolf Calvary models I just assembled.  I didn't know exactly what loadout to use, so I'm going with 1 plain, 1 with melta bombs, and 1 with thunderhammer.  That should total 185 pts and have full wound allocation.

The models are good looking in person and assemble well.  The different wolves are marked and there's a couple options for the robotic legs and one extra head.  The riders come with lots of options and I'm pretty happy with the bits.

40k anniversary Model Done (Video)

Here's the video(s) and pictures I shot while painting the Rogue Trader cover tribute model. I captured some steps to show how I painted it, and shot photos along the way as well.  I tried to intersperse the photos as appropriate, but they some might be out of place.  Hopefully the music isn't too loud.

25th anniversary model Done

Here's some of the finished pics of the Warhammer 40,000 25th anniversary model (Rogue trader cover tribute) completed.  Not much to say, but there will be a stage by stage painting video of the model, not the slide show with commentary... actual brush strokes type thing.  Hopefully I'll have that up tonight.

Crimson Fist Anniversary WIP 2

Another work in progress set for this guy.  As you'll see by the end I'm getting pretty close.  The major areas are done, and I just have to work on the details.  That should just take another night of painting to finish up.  I'm trying to shoot video of each section I'm painting to put together into a tutorial, so I'll be putting that up once he's done.  We'll see if that makes for a better tutorial, or if I just stick with the format I've been doing before.

Warhammer 25th Anniversary model

Here's an unboxing and assembly video of the Rogue Trader tribute model GW released for the 25th Anniversary of Warhammer 40,000.  I first started 40k in the rogue trader era, although it wasn't in 1987, sk I feel a little nostalgia for this stuff.  I also picked up one of the posters and would like to frame it.  Anyway, here's the video...

Canis Wolfborn painting video

I decided to pull this out of the archives and put together a commentary video since the new plastic thunderwolves are coming out.  I've got mine on preorder from miniwargaming.com and should be getting them in a week.  In the mean time, here's some pics and a video of Canis Wolfborn.... who might actually see the table top (perhaps as someone other than himself).

Space Wolves Lists revisted

Well, now that there's a new batch of Space Wolves coming out I'm going to start revisiting the list I have painted up. I've ordered a set of thunderwolves from store.miniwargaming.com (sale on now) as well as the finecast banner guy.

Brother Lemartes Tutorial

Another special character that I painted a while ago, but am only now posting a video.  I used some of the techniques from white dwarf for the legion of the damned models for this guy.  Lots of fun, and I'm happy with how he turned out.

Blood Angels Sanguinary Guard

Another painting video where I show play by play how I painted up a squad of 5 of these guys to a (high?) table top level.

Blood Angels Furioso Librarian Dread

Another one from the archives (almost caught, honest)... this one is of the Furiosi Librarian Dreadnought.  A neat model, decent on the table top, but not my favorite.  Simple but effective paint job here.

40k Scenery - Craters

In this video I show how I mounted the GW vacuum craters on hard board (MDF) and painted them up.  These are a great staple in the 40k scenery world and easy enough to make look presentable.

Orks v. Space Wolves

Here's some pictures of my Kan Wall versus my brother's Space wolves in a battle we had over Christmas. We're playing in my parent's basement, where it all started with 1st edition.  We used my modular table (from previous posts) and some other scenery I've painted up.  Fun game, nice to try out my kan wall, and it was successful.

Blood Angels Brother Corbulo tutorial

Man, I'm finding some great gems that never made it online.  Here's the named Sanguinary priest, Brother Corbulo.

Conversion tutorial: Big Mek with KFF

Here's the finished guy and video of how I did it.  This was originally inspired by a post on Dakka Dakka with some different kit bashed Big Meks with Kustom Force fields.

The parts I used included some bits from the battle wagon kit, Leman Russ, Bastion and mek from the loota box.  Click through to see the video.

Mangler Squigs Video Tutorial

Finished these guys up and put together a video.  Pretty cool model on the table, but I'm not that impressed with the casting.  I don't know if its just the one I got, or if they are all that way, but some of the detail isn't the greatest.
