Honest thoughts about miniatures in general and skirmish games in particular.
Painting Grimdark troopers - Khorne Warriors
Khorne Chaos Warriors are a walking shade of red with gold trim. At least if you look in the old Warhammer Fantasy army book. And it has not changed with The Old World.
While the colors are pretty much the same as the Chaos undivided warriors a different method for application using the strengths of oil colors give a slightly different result.
The limited palette, very close to the famous Zorn palette, gives the freedom to concentrate on the application and finishes the job in a time similar to that using contrast paints.
The result is not an individual pieces of art but it is mainly because the aim was a tabletop ready trooper and not more. This warrior is grim and dark enough to provide a...

Old school Chaos Warriors done simple
Просмотров 34721 день назад
Can regular people do 32 Chaos warriors in 24 hours? Yep, if you keep it simple. The plan has to be dead simple And it is I will cut almost all corners I recently bought a second hand box containing an entire Chaos army. Perfect timing when the faction just got previeved as the next release the very same weekend it arrived. The box contains all kind of things from demons to Chaos knights but th...
Practical speedpainting with oils
Просмотров 802Месяц назад
This is my entry into the Evil hobby challenge by @TabletopImpulse The idea is to do something unusual. Just painting an obviously evil Kill Team the way they are supposed to be. The miniatures are a selection of older Nurgle marines from regular 40k. By an unexpected turn of events I end up drybrushing the entire team with oil colors. And it turns out to be a awesome way to speedpaint! 0:00 In...
Grimdark toolkit - A healthy base for Grimdark conversions
Просмотров 1,9 тыс.Месяц назад
In a previous video I talked about converting miniatures Its actuall quite a theme here but the one i refer to is the grimdark conversions 101 I have built up quite an extensive collection of bits but when I try to turn things towards the grimdark I repeatedly find that I use a lot of bits from these three boxes They constitue what I would say a solid foundation for anyone who wants to engage i...
Painting your dwarfs in pure metallic metal
Просмотров 3352 месяца назад
The common way to paint your metallic miniatures is to prime black, followed by a zenithal highlight. Then you use ticks and paint with metal to make it look like real metal?! Why not just let the metal be metal? The miniatures painted are a few dwarves surviving from the days of Warhammer fantasy. There are Ironbreakers, Longbeards and Hammerers. Many of the old world miniatures will be return...
Converting Grimdark Troopers
Просмотров 2,8 тыс.3 месяца назад
Some people have asked about the miniatures I use for the boxdark Bretonnians. So the idea here is quite simple. I will just sit down and go through a few of them and explain what bits I used and why. All of the (previously) Bretonnian Men-at-arms troopers are very simple conversions. Swap a head and plug an arm. Or just tilt the head. Together with a dark an rough paintjob that will take a uni...
What would make you buy miniatures for The Old World?
Просмотров 8373 месяца назад
Games Workshop wants to sell miniatures. You want to buy some of them but probably not the same as me. We have seen the pattern for the releases so far: Alternative army lists Short time running Made to order for a selection of old metal miniatures Part of that is surely just plain creating a natural opportunity for fear of missing out but it is also a very clever way to combine it with coverin...
Is Newsh an option for Grimdark effects?
Просмотров 3,8 тыс.4 месяца назад
Many have tried newsh but this is not only trying the newsh, it is comparing it directly. When doing exactly the same Boxdark Bretonnian Mousillon color scheme the differences can be directly compared. Newsh claims to be a product that can give any acrylic color some of the properties of oil colors but there seems to be an inherent flaw in using an acrylic medium for the grime effects so common...
Speedpainting Grimdark trooper with no airbrush
Просмотров 2,7 тыс.4 месяца назад
Today we paint some Boxdark troopers for Bretonnia with a yellow and black scheme, commonly famous for the connection to Mousillon. These undead Bretonnians seem very popular and this method is one readily available option for the Old World troopers needed to play. Regardless if you use Bretonnians or the Vampire Counts. This will all be done using a simple process streamlined enough to speedpa...
Painting an Old World troll
Просмотров 5505 месяцев назад
The trolls have arrived in The Old World and there they truely belong. While the actual reason I painted up this metalic Games Workshop river troll was because I wanted to try a color scheme from The Darkest Dungeon the resulting style could be very suitable for The Old World. Especially if you want to combine the classical looney theme of the orcs and goblins together with the Grimdark astheth...
Relax, army painting for The Old World should be fun
Просмотров 8365 месяцев назад
When you are used to painting for skirmish games like Mordheim, Kill Team and Ymborg you might get stuck on keeping the bar to high. In this short video I will tell you about how I realized that when painting for The Old World it is possible to have another mindset. It is ok if some of your miniatures are speedpainted, slapchop or not and perhaps even failed. I failed a batch of goonslap Breton...
Grimdark Bretonnia - Why no grimdark in the Old World
Просмотров 4,8 тыс.6 месяцев назад
When the Bretonnian archers are so grimdark compliant out of the box, why are they not more commonly painted as such? Much of The Old World artwork leans towards the grimdark but those illustrations originates from a time when bases were painted Goblin Green, how does that add up? This video is not intended to propagate for Grimdark in The Old World but rather ask the question why there seems t...
Unboxing Bretonnia in less than 1 minute

Screw speed painting. This turned into speed unboxing. Why should I show what is in the Bretonnian starter box? Games Workshop told us months ago and everyone has already seen it.
