Warhammer Community's loyal son of Dorn & occasional painter. Any opinions expressed are poorly thought out and assuredly my own.
Finished my Sword Brethren recently. Love these models so much and they're really fun to paint! #warhammercommunity

And I finally finished my Black Templar Redemptor Dreadnaught who's been sitting half painted for ages!

Finishing up some hobby projects over Christmas. The Ad-mech kill team was a fun little project. #warhammercommunity

First attempt at red bean paste Mochi from scratch. They were delicious, but need to work on my presentation a bit next time.

6. Tidy up the lines before finishing with a layer of satin or gloss varnish.

4. Paint on some darker lines in the centre of the thicker lines. Try to keep the lines shaky and add some randomness. 5. Carefully paint a lighter colour underneath the dark lines in some areas (especially at joins or curves).

2. Wet the surface with a film of clean water. 3. Use a very thin paint (shades work well) to draw on some thick lines. The water on the surface will help diffuse the edges of the lines

Painted up a quick Navy Breachers kill team in prep for starting to learn the rules. Really fun squad to paint 😁 #warhammercommunity #killteam

The pond always looks lovely after a rainstorm. Full of tadpoles as well.

"Institutiaonal green" layers all sorted, now for a bunch of sponges weathering #warhammercommunity

Next on the painting desk is the Gallowdark terrain. Decided on a 2-tone paint scheme.... After fiddling with masking for several hours, the reason escapes me now!

Horus Heresy Blood Angels all done. Quite like how these turned out as a test squad for a potential new army.... #warhammercommunity #horusheresy

Rhubarb & custard tart was a great way to use up some rhubarb from the garden. #baking

Bought myself a cheap airbrush and had fun laying down some reds. #warhammercommunity

The boys have had their oil wash now, a quick matt varnish once dry and they'll be ready for final stages!

Starting of the mini heatwave in style with some freshly made Kiwi Bellini's #cocktails

Painting cloaks with lots (and lots) of horizontal lines is time consuming, but I'm liking the effect so far. #warhammercommunity

Managed to get a bit more done with my Black Templar sword brethren over the Easter break #warhammercommunity
