The Devil is in the details
As I insist on modifying every nook and cranny of my army, the same goes with my terrain. As the battle-board easily becomes recognized as the GW standard board, I might as well try giving at a little nice touch. The skull pits have a very grateful and natural recess. So in order to make… Continue reading Drop the acid
Following up on my previous post, its time to wrap up my first unit of troops. It was interesting painting a larger amount of models in one batch. On one hand, it became a bit of an assembly line, painting the different parts multiple times in a row. On the other hand, it was very… Continue reading Skitarii Rangers – part 2/2

Basically claws, metallic limbs and sharp stuff pointing in every possible direction coming out of a red torso. They also have heads,… Continue reading Sicarian Ruststalkers – The obsession takes form
