What's this?! A new blog post over on Mengel Miniatures?
Find out about the return of the step-by-step tutorial format you've come to expect from me and where you can find it going forward!

This is still one of my favorite pieces of 40K fan art. The Necrontyr when they were still flesh and blood by Alexey Kruglov. So cool.

Here’s the Skaven Bombardier I painted at the Painters Weekend while testing out the new Contrast Paints. Besides the metallic base coats this guy is 100% Contrast paints over top the new off-white spray primer. Took about 2 hours? Lots of testing things out though.

Behold! My converted Mortis Engine is finally complete!
The idea was to tie it into the deadwalker theme a bit more with the horses. I also used the tree to tie into all of the roots going through the zombies.

A true legend and one of the chief architects of the Warhammer worlds.
Today, the legendary artist John Blanche who was my Art Director on Mordheim, Realm of Chaos and WFB has retired from Games Workshop. He was the last of the titans. Truly an end of an era. However, we will see more of John's genre-defining art as he can work projects of his own.

GW kindly sent me the new Cadia Stands box early and I painted up this guy using as many quick methods as I could think of.
Say hello to the Cadian 323rd, “The Roughnecks.” Tutorial coming later this week. Would you like to know more? 😉

Ok, now that I have the Contrast Medium and Grey Seer in a pot I was able to really test out the paints. This guy has no highlights except for picking out the eye and the hair a slight bit with Grey Seer cause I went to dark on accident with it. Almost every color has Medium used

Thank you to
@WarComTeam
for sending me the Kill Team Into the Dark box!
I decided to paint up one of the new Kroot & his loyal Kroot Hound & put them in a little diorama. Such great sculpts! I’ve always been a fan of the Kroot so I’m excited to see them revisited.

Hi everyone, just a quick announcement.
I have decided to take a break from being part of the GW influencer program so I can focus on my own hobby. All this means is I won't be showing off new models ahead of release, nor will I have a model to show for every release. (1/4)

I also tested out this quick and dirty Imperial Fist with the new Contrast colors

sent me.
The armor is Imperial Fist with some of the new Casandora Yellow shade in the recesses. Weathering and sponge highlights on top. The trim is Baal Red w/ Wild Rider highlights.

This, to me, is the single most iconic set of minis in all of Warhammer and I'm super grateful I got to see it in person when I went to the WHW Exhibition.
Legendary.

FAN MADE: I love doing little mockups like this
Thought it would be cool if GW did historical campaign books for 40k. Something halfway between what Forge World did & the more traditional 40k campaign books.
These were 3 big campaigns I'd love to see. Which ones would you like?

The call of Chaos is strong &
@WarComTeam
was kind enough to send me the new Slaves to Darkness box early, so I painted up this Chosen.
Simply brutal & beautiful models. I’m calling this warband the Crimson Reavers because I used the Red Corsairs as inspiration.
Tutorial soon!

My Deadwalker themed Mortis Engine! It still needs greenstuff work, but I think I’m done with the kitbashing part. I figured all the new Deadwalkers have roots coming out of them so some sort of corpse tree would make a better fit. The bats will count as the ghosts/banshees.

@warhammer
was kind enough to send me the Soulshackle box ahead of time and I managed to get this guy painted up in time for today.
Such cool models! I’ll probably do a bit more with the base like some rubble and random civilian detritus.

Continuing to add to my C'tan collection, I finished up this wonderful model to use as my Deceiver.
I'm super happy with it. Not only do I think the sculpt is great, but I painted it using the new Warpaints Fanatic & really enjoyed blending the metallics & acrylics. So smooth.

He's done! Such an iconic mini & a truly evergreen sculpt! I painted his skin in true metallics to really drive home the living metal bodies thing.
I added the lightning from some endless spells and also changed it so his cloak is fading back into living metal near the ends.

My first Chaos Warrior for my Warriors of Chaos Old World army. Was originally meant to be a much quicker scheme, but I got drawn into the cape and then decided to make more of him match that quality.

I’ve had multiple people comment that they’re glad I drilled out the barrels on my Terminator’s bolters, when I haven’t. They’re just black dots I painted on
I feel like this just proves that you don’t really need to drill them if you don’t want to, apparently looks the same! 😂

I realized that I never did a shot of my entire painted Tomb Kings collection.

Back in the mists of time that was 2004 my local GW held a special event for the launch of 4th Ed 40K. The GW was inside a mall at the time and for the release they decided to stay open until 1am so they could sell the books at midnight when they came out.
