Since every interview with painters seems to cover this topic, I figure it should make for a good blog post. At the moment there have been three clear turning … Continue reading My Painting Journey
Pregame: My Death Guard are taking the field opposite the Crimson Fists in a small 1000 point game to help my friend James get some practice in. He's a newer player, but doesn't want to play against a specifically toned-down list so that's why I'm bringing what I am. I haven't seen his list but … Continue reading Battle Report: Death Guard #1
More ideas and half-started projects from me, this time it's fantasy stuff instead of being 40k related Knights InquisitorialInspired by the Warhammer Underworlds warbands for the Stormcast Eternals, I wanted to make a small warband of holy knights for use in various fantasy skirmish games.
