Warhammer Fest 2016 Walkabout video!

Here’s our Walkabout video from Warhammer Fest 2016! We take you through every area from the big weekend, from the video games to the studio design teams, finishing up with a look at the amazing staff army section and a peek at the Golden Demon statues!

Check out the Tiny Plastic Spacemen Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/TinyPlasticSpacemen/ for photos of *everything* from the weekend!

Finished Commission: Red Eldar and Dark Eldar

More of the red Eldar clan to go with previous commissions – this time a few Dark Eldar join the party, too!

This is a Tabletop quality commission, with a few little extra details here and there. The Windrider models are also fully magnetized so the weapons are completely swappable! Please note that commission jobs are done to suit the customer and have their full approval before shipping out – if you don’t like it, that’s fine, but in the end the paying customer has the final say!

Latest Commission: Mechanicus Knight and Skitarii

Finally wrapped up this commission, which are in the same army as the previously finished Mechanicus Dominus Tech Priest and Kataphrons!

This is a Display quality commission, with weapon options chosen by the customer. The Knight is also fully magnetized so the weapons are completely swappable! Please note that commission jobs are done to suit the customer and have their full approval before shipping out – if you don’t like it, that’s fine, but in the end the paying customer has the final say!

*UPDATED!* Games Workshop 40K Build + Paint Releases for Late 2016 – and New Blood Bowl Models!

HELLO VISITORS FROM BoLS, SPIKEY BITS AND DAKKA! Please note that we had ZERO indication that GW are trying to get into big stores like Target, Tesco, Walmart, etc. – please see below for details on where they are in the Toy Fair. We will ask them DIRECTLY tomorrow (the 28th of January) and will update this post with their reply!

This week, we’re at the Nurnberg Toy Fair in Germany, and we’ve had the big scoopy from GW about some of their upcoming releases for 2016!

First up are these starter model sets that feature some ‘classic’ sprues, small pots of paint and a brush (or two), all at prices that seem to range from ‘reasonable’ to ‘crazy’, depending on who you ask. So here’s the pictures!

Finished Commission: Eldar Wraithknight and Dark Eldar

More ‘red Eldar’ to go with an earlier finished Eldar commission. This is an allied force to go with some red Dark Eldar, so just plain red for everything!

This is a Tabletop quality commission, with a few little extra details here and there. The Wraithknight and Exarch models are also fully magnetized so the weapons are completely swappable! Please note that commission jobs are done to suit the customer and have their full approval before shipping out – if you don’t like it, that’s fine, but in the end the paying customer has the final say!

Galaxy star scheme inspiration!

001-galaxy-easter-eggs-dreamalittlebigger

Model painting group posts on Facebook can provide a lot of good inspiration while browsing and posting cat photos, and one of the posts in one of the groups asked where to find a decent painting tutorial for putting a galaxy paint scheme on a model.

One very helpful reply suggested this post from a crafting blog, showing how to paint a galactic-style easter eggs.

It’s very simple, and requires a base coat of black, some purple, maybe some blue, some gold and thinned white paint. Stipple on the colors and spatter the white on by flicking brush bristles (or use a popsicle stick and an airbrush!) et voila! Galaxy paint scheme.

Get all the steps from the link above, or check back in the near future and I’ll be trying this same technique on some of my Harlequins models 🙂
