Been continuing to work on the contents of the Imperial Assault box this week and managed to finish off the 15 Stormtroopers. The paint scheme was nice and simple, a light grey spray all over followed by a whit drybrush getting all the armor. The guns where then painted black with a contrast black, as … Continue reading The Safest Place to be!
Praise the Sun
So the weekend saw something very odd happen over Manchester in the UK, Saturday was actually an ok weather day! This incredible alignment of my time off work and actually daylight without rain meant something very important, I could take some photos outside of my Epic models that I've really struggled to get decent photos … Continue reading Praise the Sun
That’s not a meteor
Recently I've started working on a rather different project, I picked up this box set a couple of years ago second hand to play with my little lad, we did have a quick go then but really he was a little to young, now he has shown and interest and wants to start playing it … Continue reading That’s not a meteor
A tiny bit of Elite
I've been working on my Alpha Legion for Legions Imperialis (i.e. Epic, i.e. really small scale) recently. I got a second infantry box so been added that to the force, but at the same time I've also been redoing the bases a little as I felt they where a bit flat before. As such I … Continue reading A tiny bit of Elite
Dropping into 2026
Been painting a 3D printed drop ship for Mech Warriors, I really liked this model, it really closely matches the pictures from the games I recall playing as a child so was really happy to paint it up.

Meching around
Continuing on the flow of being a massive hobby butterfly I've been painting a couple of the Mechs I got for Christmas. First up is a Panther, this is a light weight Mech (35 tones) that packs a big punch with its right arm being a ER-PPC or and Extended Range - Particle Projection Cannon … Continue reading Meching around
Guns Ships
I was finishing off the Storm Eagle transport for my Alpha Legion and noticed I had never painted any symbols on its partner, so did both at once. I think the damage on the new one has come out OK and helps separate the pair. I also thought the bases looked a bit dull so … Continue reading Guns Ships
Frigate
Been a bit of a hobby butterfly this week but rather than fighting it I'm rolling with it! So been working on a battle fleet gothic ship for my Chaos fleet. This is a Idolator Class Raider which is a Escort class ship hence its a smaller ship that only has 1 hull point meaning … Continue reading Frigate
