WIP: Space Marine Tactical Squad and Rhino

I've neglected my Marines long enough! Time to expand the chapter. A few pics and a question after the break.

REVIEW: Modelmates Rust Effect

If you've been a longtime reader of Tale of Painters, you may have seen Garfy's review of this stuff on his Necron warriors.  It just seemed too good to be true (not that I don't trust the guy, but dude's got skills- it couldn't be that easy, right?), so after months of searching for someone who would actually ship it out of the UK, I finally got my hands on a bottle to test for myself.

FEATURE: Only suckers pay retail.

Warhammer isn't cheap. Ask anyone in the hobby, and it's the first thing they'll tell you. Here are some tips for saving cash.

SHOWCASE: Tyrant Guard

A showcase of the Tyrant Guard completed for the Tyranid Tutorial.

Showcase: Tau Goodness

Been steadily growing my Tau Orange Sun cadre over the last few weeks.  Here's couple quick pics of the random pickup models I've knocked out.

H.O.W. TO: Painting Tyranids

As my work has been featured on the GW blog twice, users have requested a basic tutorial on how I paint my tyranids. Step by step details after the break.

SHOWCASE: Tyranid Haruspex

Hive Fleet: Unending Maw grows!

REVIEW: Figure Painter Magazine

I stumbled upon a new magazine today completely by chance (thanks Google Now app!). Figure Painter Magazine. As far as I know it is digital only, but it is entirely dedicated to the hobby of miniatures and painting. Could this be the answer to White Dwarf's annoying habit of monetizing every bit of useful content out of their magazines?  Let's find out.

NOTICE: Adsense added to site

Hey everybody, just a quick update - some of you may have noticed that I've added a small ad space in the side bar. I hope it's not too obtrusive. We're getting a regular readership, so I figured I'd see what this whole adsense thing is about. I've tried to filter out dating sites and other crap, and keep it games and hobby-centric.

I was hoping that the algorithms would be smart enough to serve up only wargames related stuff, like what I see on tale of painters blog, or BOLS, but maybe I haven't configured it correctly. If anyone knows how to do that, be sure to comment below.

H.O.W. TO / WIP: Citadel Realm of Battle Gameboard Pt1

I was going to do a simple WIP, but realized I took enough photos to make a tutorial. Step by step instructions after the jump.

FEATURE: My work showcased on GW's blog once again!

Hey, look at that! I managed to make it on the White Dwarf Daily blog again! Feels really great to have your work recognized by your peers.

You can see the photos at this LINK. I'll post a full showcase gallery later next week.

SHOWCASE: Broadside

At long last, I've actually completed a model!  It's been a while.  Feels good.  This was a great kit to put together and I'm really pleased with how it came out. More pics after the jump.

REVIEW: Warhammer: Visions (Digital Version)

Both Trip and I bought the newest GW publication that launched over the weekend. The internets are alive with everyone weighing in on the new format.  See our thoughts after the jump.

WIP: 2,000 pt Tau Army - January Recap

No major progress in January, but lots of loose ends tied up. Details after the jump
