So I picked up a Dreadstone Blight tower a while back and finally got round to painting it this weekend. I used this link as a guide to give me an idea on a number of the details, but I decided to use the same paint scheme I used for the Dreadfleet scenery (Necron Abyss… Continue reading Dreadstone Blight

Dreadfleet – The Bloody Reaver
Otherwise known as the Bloody Hard paint job….. The Bloody Reaver was the ship I wanted to save until I’d had some ‘practice’ – reason being, this is the largest, most demanding ship for Dreadfleet, and, ultimately the hardest paint job for me yet. The Reaver is filled with detail, from the wrecks comprising… Continue reading Dreadfleet – The Bloody Reaver
Rust Effects
No piccies, just a quick talk through on how I learned to do it. Base coat your area of rust in Bestial Brown. When dried, stipple Macharias Solar Orange on top of it leaving areas of brown showing through…. When that dries (really quick) apply small splodges of Boltgun metal (note this is the only… Continue reading Rust Effects
Gaming Surfaces
A long, long time ago, Games Workshop sold two 2′ by 4 boards for £35. These boards were painted green on one side and came with some sliding clips. This was positied as a gaming table for you to use for your battles (just add terrain – see my terrain post when it’s complete). Being,… Continue reading Gaming Surfaces
Dreadfleet – Painting the Shadewraith
Hi. I’m Kai (he who owns the blog’s other half :D)- and I’m painting some of the Dreadfleet stuff. Normally all I am is a writer, so painting and writing up guides is a new one on me, but here goes 😉 The Shadewraith ship seemed to be the easiest of all of them… Continue reading Dreadfleet – Painting the Shadewraith
Dreadfleet – Storm Clouds and Bones
The Windguage – Storm Clouds, Fate, Ghosts and Treasure For me, Dreadfleet has a huge potential to be a very pretty set, I’m not just talking about the ships, or the islands, but alsos the tools to make the game work. with this in mind, I decided to get on and paint the windguage.… Continue reading Dreadfleet – Storm Clouds and Bones
The Seadrake – Dragons + Ships
First off, I HATE painting light colours, by light colours I mean pale colours such as white, yellow, etc. It’s why I play Necrons, Imperial Guard and Blood Angels – I use strong dark colours in all of my armies. So tackling the Seadrake, was always going to be a pain for me. Looking at the… Continue reading The Seadrake – Dragons + Ships
Grimnir’s Thunder – the Alliance’s carrier
So in my previous post, I discussed how I painted the blimps of the Grimnir’s Thunder. Here I’ll discuss the ship itself…. Grimnir’s Thunder is the armour tank of the alliance and one of two (arguably the only true) carrier of the Alliance’s fleet. She’s a behemoth of metallics and if WD 382 is to… Continue reading Grimnir’s Thunder – the Alliance’s carrier
Grimnir’s Thunder – Fun with Blimps
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
