I woke up Monday and chose preparation. Adepticon is quickly closing and I have a long list to check the items off of.
30 wolves, 17 zombies, and 24 basing kits. I still need to prime them but it's fun to see the models in their raw state. T...

The hail of gunfire stippled Brother Dunkle's armor as he walked face forward into the hellstorm over the rise. One by one the traitors were made holy again, cleansed in bolter fire and left stigmatic in a sense. The hailstorm relented as their souls fled for what cruel god they dedicated them to. Dunkle pressed on.
Heh, Dunkle. Let's hav...

I'm getting ready for a big day today and making breakfast, prepping models. Yup, I'm prepping models while my food cooks, never a wasted moment.
As I'm doing this I'm checking out the new podcast, 32, from the creators of 28 Mag. I chose to start with an episode featuring Trent from Miscast. It's a good episode but one thing is stan...

32 days. A long and yet seemingly short amount of time considering what I'm aiming to accomplish before Adepticon.
I've had this in mind for a while now but got a little hung up on what to build it from. Sculpting the bricks seemed monotonous and I was low on putty.

Greetings, Chromatic Warriors! In this video I'm taking a straight forward approach. Having such a wide variety of new colors to try out in the form of the Warpaints Fanatic range I decided I wouldn't mix any colors on this project. Just carefully select the colors in front of me. Enjoy!
Colors Used:
Warpaints Air: Matt Black, Angel Gr...
Coming soon in video form!
My goal with this project was to create a more simple tutorial. I have so many new Fanatic paints to choose from so instead of mixing like I usually do, all of the color here are straight from the bottle.
Finally, at long last, it's complete. This has been on my table since September of 2023. I was painting it on Twitch mainly, so the slow progress was expected. But it felt drawn out even still. As they say though, the taller the mountain, the better the breeze. I'm going to enjoy the feeling of a job well done.
Cheers,
-Sam
Ere we go! Also, Waaagh! I'm very happy to have this video and project complete. With these extensive projects comes a larger sense of accomplishment. Today is a good day.
Colors used:
From Warpaints Fanatic, Fiendish Yellow, Temple Gate Teal, Talisman Teal, Barren Dune, Gun Metal, Shining Silver, Lava Orange, Black, and White.

Ere we goo! This one is taking longer than expected but that's the way of the road at times. Still worth the time, still painting the world. This will be the capstone for my unity entry in the quickly approaching Golden Demon. Must not rush even though I can see a light at the end of the tunnel.
Colors used:
From P3, Thornwood Green, G...
Good day, traveler! Sorry for the delay this week. It's my goal to post a tutorial on a weekly basis and I have one done. But I'm having a problem exporting it. I'm sorting out the issue but every time I'm exporting it's a 2 1/2 hour process. Check this, delete old files, wait hours to see if it worked. So the trial and error is a lengthy experi...

100 posts tagged with Blog, hooray! Alright, on to the 101st.
The final capstone is coming right along. I still want to circle back and make some adjustments now that the rest of the orks are attached, but my efforts are going into the boss this week.
I don't want to count the days until Adepticon quite ye...

Recently I ran a class on various approaches and theories involved in painting armies. Part of the preparation for that class had me pulling out my full force of Stormcast for some family photos. Finally, the long awaited pictures of the full army, people have been asking. Enjoy!
I had fun with this game at the time but didn't get as many...
I'm back and with my feet on my floor in Wisconsin, can safely say I survived Las Vegas. Not a bad time and as always, there is much to get up to! Enjoy!

Greetings, traveler! This is your invitation to join in on this month's Scrying Pool. We'll begin at 12:10pm Central on Saturday January 27th. That may seem like an odd time but it is to avoid the tornado siren that gets tested at noon. See you there!

I had one more detail in mind when it came to Rhino. Beneath the pavement there lies a network of Mario tubing. These gave me the opportunity to add a little more action in categories of wet and wild. There are many ways to create small water effects and this is one, enjoy!

Since the inception of this game and growth of my gaming group, my mission was to contain all I need to play Kill Team and have it not occupy more space than a shoe box. Hence the title. As we expand and try different games, I imagine these endeavors will pile up, so I'm keeping this one space efficient. Success!

Greetings, traveler, stay a while and listen. Here we're going to be laying down some ambient police lighting on a second session involving our dry skinned antagonist. Enjoy!

This was a gift for my band mate, which was also came into my hands as part of a gift (Thanks, Alex!). Not my greatest work but I'm proud of the upcycled dice container. He will remain without dust! It's also a fun thought to imagine him under the effects of a spell. Cased in crystal as he chops his way out to aid his companions. Loki be damned!...

I made a video on this fella recently and here I'd like to share a gallery of where he is at. The next stage will have me painting the base and adding some ambient police lighting.
The year is ramping up and if I can manage, I'll see this project and my Ork unit done and ready for Adepticon. Unchained!
Cheers,

There are a few missing gifts and commissions from this group but here are my efforts from 2023. I can't believe it, some pieces feel much older but this last year was a transitional one. I moved in 0ctober 2022 so 2023 was my first full year seated at the new place. Looking back at what I was able to get done in that time fires me up. It repres...

The dry skinned antagonist charges into the fray! In part one we'll be seeing just how that skin and all that surrounds it, was done. Next up, I'll be finishing off the base and pulling some ambient police light into the scene. This will also be my entry for the Worthy painting competition hosted at Adepticon. Enjoy!

Still tweaking the many textures on this monster but I wanted to share a quick update.
Adepticon is coming soon, heck, LVO is in 2 weeks. But my goal for this Adepticon is to enter every paint comp with at least one piece. Rhino will be my entry for the Worthy painting comp that Atomic Mass games puts on.
For this week I'...

Greetings, Chromatic Warriors! As I reflect on the past and set my goals for 2024, I have many, many, ideas.
To start, here's a sign of life and boot in the door of 2024 :)
Today I'm lining up all my projects completed last year for a nice family photo. But here I wanted to share one of the final pieces from 2023. Painted at Vince...
Yo Jooooooe! Sorry, just had to get one out. In this week's video we're taking a look at some of the more individual members of the Fomorian Legion Kill Team. Enjoy!

Killing! It seems to be a big theme in games these days. The Kasrkins excel at this task and this time around, I'd like to show you how to bring them to life and carry out orders. Enjoy!
