MkII Ultramarine Assault Marine, painted up for Wednesday’s video. Another of the ‘had for years in a drawer’ 30k Ultramarines. 🤦‍♂️#horusheresy #thehorusheresy #ageofdarkness #ultramarines #ultramarines30k #assaultmarines #mkiiassaultmarines #warhammer30k #warhammer #warhammer30000
Tonight’s video is a start to finish of the Horus Heresy version of Roboute Guilliman. Absolutely amazing miniature, and I’m pleased to say he’s the first painted Ultramarine for the force that’s been stashed in a drawer for years. The new heresy things will be for a Space Wolf force so expect some of them soon. Any way - Roboute - magnificent! #ageofdarkness #thehorusheresy #horusheresy #warhammer30k #warhammer #ultramarines30k #ultramarines #ultramarine #videotutorial #miniaturepainting
Two sets of the heresy box must mean there’s a heresy project going ahead at the Brush and Boltgun. Thankfully I’m not painting them all! ☺️☺️ #horusheresy #horusheresy30k #imperialfists #spacewolves #warhammer #warhammer30k
Goodbye, sweet prince. #mediumlayerbrush #citadel #youareretired #warhammer #warhammer40k #warhammer30k #paintingminiatures #miniaturepainting #haveyoueveretiredahumanbymistake
Tonight’s start to finish video was how to paint the magnificent Chaos Lord. I’ve been wanting to paint him for my Black Legion force for ages, so glad to finally have him done. In fact I swear I said I was doing him soon to @madmick48 about two years ago… #blacklegion #chaoslord #blacklegionchaoslord #hereticastartes #hereticastartes40k #chaosspacemarines #thunderhammer #warhammerquest #warhammerquestblackstonefortress #warhammer #warhammer40k #warhammer30k
Last night’s video was how to paint Night Lords (link in bio). Really enjoyed this one, love the colours, the lore, and an opportunity to paint the tabard like a flap of flayed skin! #nightlords #nightlords40k #hereticastartes #chaosspacemarines #traitorlegions #paintingnightlords #warhammer #warhammer40k #warhammer30k #nightlords30k #nightlord
