When I decided to paint Grimnir’s Thunder I was expecting to have an easy job – I mean look at it…. It’s just greens, and metallics (and base which is pretty easy tbh – see my earlier post on how I do these). Little did I realise that it’s a tad more complicated than I… Continue reading Grimnir’s Thunder – Fun with Blimps

Dreadfleet – Painting the Skabrus
After finishing the Skabrus base, it was time to get on with painting the zombie giant fish itself (again, majority of this was from following details in WD 382 but I did deviate here or there as colours – and my paint supplies demanded). I started with a Chaos Black undercoat and brushed Deneb Stone… Continue reading Dreadfleet – Painting the Skabrus
Dreadfleet – Painting the Skabrus base
In my previous post on painting water, I said the effect should be fine for all of the bases bar the Skabrus, and here’s why. Unlike the other bases, the Skabrus has ‘organs’, you see the Skabrus is a giant undead, zombie fish, crewed by undead Skaven…. so we need to not only pick out… Continue reading Dreadfleet – Painting the Skabrus base
The Stormraven – Part 3
Continued from Stormraven – Part 2. To finish off the final detail work I needed to “soot” up my engines – easy, Games Workshop’s Stormraven guide tells you to apply 3 coats of Badab Black (one after the other when dry) and stipple in some Chaos Black. Next, it was time for assembly. As I’m… Continue reading The Stormraven – Part 3
Dreadfleet – Painting water
In painting our Dreadfleet models, I was forced to learn how to paint water for the bases. There’s no secret to it, Games Workshop have published a pretty good step-by-step guide in October’s White Dwarf (WD382), which I recommend you pick up if you haven’t already as it is packed full of painting guides for… Continue reading Dreadfleet – Painting water
Army Manager
People sometimes ask me how I draw up my army lists, what software I use, do I have a spreadsheet, etc. etc. So I thought I’d share my thoughts on a few options. At the moment I use a piece of freeware called Battlescribe, which is a modular army generator. It’s data files don’t hold… Continue reading Army Manager

The Stormraven – Part 2
Continued on from Stormraven – Part 1. After the base coat, it was time to use the airbrush to re-coat the exterior surfaces with Blood Red, and time to start work on the interior detailing such as the seating and the screens. Once again, GW’s Guide provided some excellent tips, especially on gem effects for screens –… Continue reading The Stormraven – Part 2
The Stormraven – Part 1
So I finally caved and bought one of these flying monstrosities…. Quite often the better half and I joke about how it looks like a Thunderhawk Gunship was towed and put through a cube crusher before a Techpriest took pity on it. This really put me off until I found out about the conversion kit… Continue reading The Stormraven – Part 1
