A very good friend has been dreaming of painting his Grave Guard for over fifteen years. Fifteen years. Think about that. So here’s a little help-a guide to break through that wall between vision and execution. If you're reading this, I hope you find it helpful. When you begin, try to remove all pressure from the process. This guide is for him-and maybe for you too, if you've ever stood at the threshold of a long-awaited project, unsure how to begin. These Barrow Guard miniatures (from the newer Age of Sigmar range) carry the old soul of Warhammer's Grave Guard, but with more flow and energy. As someone who usually sides with old-school sculpts, I say this without hesitation: the new models are better. So if you’ve been waiting to bring your Vampire Counts army to life, or you’re simply looking for a triadic colour scheme to paint a standout undead unit, this tutorial will guide you through every step-from the first basecoat to the final tuft of moss.

Not many times in one's hobby life you come across a great opportunity as recently I did. One of my closest friends was lucky enough to get his hands in almost a brand new bundle of 15xTeutogen Guards with an Ulric warrior priest and Emil Valgeir, the Ar-Ulric of Middenheim .

Unlike the Greatswords who are drawn from the State Troops , the Teutogen Guard are instead selected from the ranks of the Knights of the White Wolf by the orders of the Grand Master and the Ar-Ulric himself. They are often members of the Order's Inner Circle , although the selection process takes account only of merit and not ran...
Long-time no see. I have been thinking long and hard about the future of this blog. As you may have noticed I haven’t posted anything in these pages for almost 2 years. So, the question that inevitably raises is …why? And even more important…am I finally closing the blog? The answer to the first question is that a lot has been happening in my personal life: changing jobs, changing cities, then changing jobs again, then go back to London … keeping the blog active was a challenge on top of all that. The changing landscape of social media: Then another one of the reasons is that I lost sight of the blog's purpose. Why keeping a blog alive instead of just posting my work in the likes of Instagram, Facebook or YouTube? This is a difficult question to answer as this blog was born to be a personal happy diary of my progress and a vehicle to allow me to express myself personally and artistically while at the same time connecting with other hobbyists. The raise of social media has revolutio...
