There are two Nagash models currently in my display case. They were painted a couple of years apart. They weren’t built the same way – in fact, they’re nearly opposite builds of the same model. They weren’t painted for the same reason, but they exist for the same reason. The First Nagash The first Nagash […]
Anakin is a deceptively simple model – broad surfaces, dark clothing, and a face that can easily fall flat if you don’t push it. The goal here is about simplicity and control: Build Your Own Hobby Desk Every miniature project starts with a workspace. These are the paints, brushes, tools, and hobby supplies I regularly […]
Most miniature painters enjoy the early stages of a project. Opening a new box, assembling the model, choosing colors, and laying down the first coats of paint all feel productive. Progress is visible and exciting. The miniature begins to transform quickly, and the vision you had when you first saw the sculpt starts to take […]
Most creative projects don’t fail at the beginning; they fail when the project is almost finished. If you’ve painted miniatures for any length of time, you’ve probably experienced this moment.

For this project, I wanted to give him the look of a Blood Dragon — one of the most striking vampiric knightly lineages, clad in crimson armor and gold trim. This project was […]
Stormcast Eternals are one of the most iconic armies in Age of Sigmar, and Vindictors make an excellent project for both new and experienced painters. Their large armor panels, clean details, and simple color blocking make them approachable while still offering plenty of opportunities for highlights and refinement. This guide walks through the process I […]
Salamanders!! A fan favorite among Space Marine Chapters, the Salamanders embody the spirit of Defenders of Humanity. Unlike many of their brothers, they’re known for putting the protection of Imperial civilians above all else—even if it means straying from their original orders. On the tabletop and in the lore, they’re also inseparable from their signature […]

Whether you’re adding it to your Star Wars: Legion Imperial army for tactical firepower or simply building it as a display piece, painting this model is a chance to capture […]
