Made up to have the Fire Hawk featured on Warhammer TV’s Hobby round up! Cheers for the kind words Nick and Wade! Cheers to @minipaintingpapa for sharing it with them, really appreciate it☺️☺️ @warhammerofficial #firehawks #warhammertv #hobbyroundup #firehawks #warhammer40k #badabwar #warhammer40000 #primarisintercessor
If you want to see how I painted the Fire Hawks chapter badge the video went up on the Brush and Boltgun Youtube channel (link in bio) tonight.
Fire Hawks primaris intercessor finally finished. Such a cool looking chapter. I love how the yellow faceplate looks on the red armour.
Clotticus is complete! Only two more series three Death Guard to go. Great miniature, I love the toothy worms on it, and the Ludo-looking nurgling with his head stuck in the banner pole.
Another WIP, this time it’s Clotticus, the icon bearer from the Series 3 Death Guard miniatures. Another awesome model, including the weird worm things that come with him! Should be a delight once finished!
Pre-shade and post-shade Illuminor Szeras. Some great detail on this mini, and glad to finally start taking the brush to it. Poor fella lying on the floor though...
