( Red  items were completed this month,  purple  items in previous months) March '23                                                                                                        May '23 At the end of March, I decided that I needed to start working through my backlog of Warhammer Underworlds miniatures. I have stopped buying miniatures for other games, for now, and I am trying to get some warbands painted up before any more are released. As such, I began the month by painting three members of Grinkrak's Looncourt: Snorbo Da Spore, Moonface Nagz and Pointy Burk. While, I was painting these grots, I also painted a squig herder. For all the Moonclan grots, I used my How I Paint Moonclan grots guide. I then wanted to paint up the squig rider, Prod da Wonky Lance from Grinkrak's Looncourt. For painting the squig, I used my How I Paint Squigs guide . After this miniature, I need to change to something other than Goblins.   I am jumping around between different paint

I intend for this article to be a work in progress. Having discovered Oathmark a few months ago, I started to build an Orc and Goblin army. My choice was based around the fact that I have never had an Orc and Goblin army (although I have just started building a Gloomspite Gitz army). With this in mind, I started to plan a Kingdom for my army.  The first 550pts In the Oathmark rulebook, it recommends learning to play the game with a force totalling 550pts. This sized force can be built with one or two boxes of Oathmark miniatures, each costing around £25 but you can find them at a reduced price on the internet. The first purchase I made for the army was a single frame of Goblin Infantry from eBay. I immediately built these as miniatures as five Goblin Soldiers. The idea was to see if: a) I liked these models and b) to work out a paint scheme. How I Paint - Goblin Infantry   After finishing these five miniatures, I bought a box of Goblin Infantry and built another fifteen Goblin Soldie

Wolves have been a common feature of fantasy stories and fairy tales for many years. When I first read the Hobbit, I came across the idea of goblin wolf riders. Having bought a set of Goblin Wolf Riders for Oathmark, I decided I wanted dark grey wolves and that I also wanted to give the miniatures the impression of being furred. This is my method.

The upper side of the wolf was painted with a 1:1 mix of  Abaddon Black  and  Mechanicum Standard Grey . To the underside of the wolf, I applied a coat or two of Mechanicum Standard Grey .

This was then followed with a light spray of Mechanicum Standard Grey . Then a basecoat of Lupercal Green , thinned with a little water, was applied over the miniature. I used a large drybrush and worked quickly, avoiding returning to panels already covered. When this initial basecoat was fully dry the aircraft was given a second basecoat with Sons of Horus Green (a layer paint). Again, this was thinned with a little water and applied with the medium drybrush. Two or three coats were required to get a nice smooth finish. When the basecoats were full dry, Coelia Greenshade was painted into the recesses and around the panels of the aircraft using a small deta

I used a large drybrush and worked quickly, avoiding returning to panels already covered. It took around 2 coats to get a nice solid finish. When this initial basecoat was fully dry the aircraft was given a second basecoat with  Yriel Yellow  (a layer paint). Again, this was thinned with a little water and applied with the medium drybrush. Three coats were required to get a nice smooth finish. When the basecoats were full dry,  Cassandora Yellow  was painted into the recesses and around the panels of the aircraft using a small detail brush (I use synthetic brushes for this job). Try to

                           As I continue to work through the legions for Aeronautica Imperialis I wanted to paint up the loyalist Blood Angels. The Blood Angels are famous for their mastery of the skies, for being one of the legions that defended the Emperor's palace and for being one of the main legions of Space Marine used by Games Workshop. The Blood Angel livery is a bright red with some splashes of black. This is my take on their scheme.
