I did a similar couple of posts to this with the Death Guard a while back, and as I’m now also painting up some Age of Sigmar Plaguebearers, now might be a good time to show how I’m painting them, and a few ideas to help them all look a little different, and a lot… More Plaguebearer Painting Techniques, part 1
In this short tutorial, I’ll be demonstrating a quick and easy method of painting up the Death Guard Plague Knives. The same method can be used for pretty much all Death Guard weapons.

Well March to War 2018 is over, and we thought we’d give you one last post to show how we got on. We still think it’s an excellent challenge, but it is one that needs careful planning and consideration. Next year we’ll all complete it… Adam: The end is nigh! Actually, for me it’s right… More March to War 2018 Roundup
Well, this is the twelfth update for the March to War challenge. April is almost upon us, and with only three more days to go this is the final chance we have to show you what we’ve been up to. But don’t worry, there will be a final summary post coming up soon so you… More March to War 2018 – 12th Update
When I first planned to do a Fallen army, I wasn’t too keen on the miniature for Cypher, the Lord of the Fallen. As a mysterious character, it was pretty good, but it didn’t wow me. Thankfully, when the Triumvirate of the Primarch appeared on the shelves, it included a new Cypher miniature, and it… More How to: Paint Cypher, Lord of the Fallen
It’s the penultimate March to War post. Possibly. As it stands it’s the final one for just Adam and I, after which there could be one more from Mike and Dave, and then a final post from all of us. It’s bringing about feelings of horror, excitement and dread. Rob This week I was feeling… More March to War 2018 – 11th Update
Ten updates! Count them, ten! That’s ten whole posts of hobby goodness from us here at the Brush and Boltgun. We’re well into the challenge now, with only a couple of weeks left for us to get 2018 points both built and painted.

At the start of the March to War 2018, I finally got round to starting up the small Fallen force which I’d always wanted to make. The Burning of Prospero boxed game seemed ideal for this, as it contained thirty MkIII space marines, more than enough to make a reasonable force. In addition I also… More How to: Paint Fallen
Adam: Nine? there has been nine of these things? It’s hard to imagine we are now three quarters of the way through our challenge and there is still so much to do. There has been no progress this week on my Night Lords or Age of Sigmar forces, but I have managed to get myself into… More March to War – 9th Update
The ongoing March to War has seen me paint up the Relictors, a chapter which I was originally going to start when Dark Vengeance was released years ago. I painted up one guy, the Dark Angels robed chap, then left him alone and moved onto the Scythes of the Emperor – Another doomed project. For… More How to: Paint Relictors Terminators
Hello and welcome to another update on our March to War challenge. This week it’s just me as Dave has spent the last two weeks painting his house.

It’s week eight, and we’re moving quickly through the second half of the challenge. We’ve had a fair bit of distraction this past week, with two nights spent playing some Malign Portents games of Age of Sigmar. If you haven’t played Age of Sigmar, we recommend you give it a crack, it’s simple, with added… More March to War – Update 7
My Death Guard army progress slows as we look at the Malign Portents which are being seen across the eight Mortal Realms, my focus has shifted from Warhammer 40k to Age of Sigmar. I’m painting up some Nurgle Daemons for AoS, happy in the knowledge that I can also use them in 40k as part… More How to: Paint and Base Nurglings
We’re half-way through February, and that means half-way through the challenge. That means that we should be pretty far ahead with what we’re doing. There should be lots of shiny models covered in paint to show off. Read on to see just how much we’re lying to ourselves and just what’s been going on over… More March to War – 6th Update

If you have any thoughts please comment below, and please… More Video ‘How to: Paint a Relictors Captain’
Today marks the last day of January – the first month of March to War. Progress has been varied so far, but with two months still to go, we’re on target. The tactic for completing March to War is to get the painting out of the way first then do your building at the last… More March to War 2018 – Update 4
It’s been a bit of a break from Mortarion, and the Death Guard as a whole really, but I’m back on the horse and ready to carry on with him. I think the miniature itself was a little intimidating. It’s so big it takes an age, and the thought of continuing, knowing I have the… More Mortarion – Daemon Primarch of Nurgle, part 5
Today’s video is a quick and easy way to paint up your Sector Imperialis bases so that they look great on the tabletop.

Adam: 2017 has been an interesting year for hobby. Most of my successes are stacked towards the front half of the year, as a new job in May began stealing most of my weekends due to travelling around the country, slowing down production on my armies. Whilst I often take things away with me to… More Brush and Boltgun 2017 Roundup
If there’s one thing that I really like about having space marine armies, it’s the option to have a company standard, flying the colours of the company, or the chapter, depending on how many are left. It’s one thing that I really like to spend time painting, because if the company standard looks good, then… More Carrying the Colours
Dave: We’re nearing the end of our hobby guilt marathon now, and I’ve made some good progress since our last update. I’m not as far on as I would have liked to be for various reasons, but I’m finally starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel with these guys. I don’t… More The Ever Present Hobby Guilt
Part one of this post can be found here. Since we had all the shades done at the end of part one, I started on the longest part of painting Death Guard in this way, the armour. I used a mix of watered downWhite and Citadel Ushabti Bone. Next came the corrosion. As these are pretty… More Death Guard Deathshroud Bodyguards – Part 2
