When Orktober arrived at the end of last year, it rekindled my love of the greenskins, and I decided to try and paint up as many as possible over the following months. Here we are four months later, and I’ve not done a whole lot of them if I’m honest. When I saw Speedfreeks, I… More Shokkjump Dragsta, part 1
In this video I’ll be painting up an Ork Warboss for a Death Skulls army. While the colours of the clothing might be different, the principles would be the same for any Ork Warboss. If you watched the Warboss Skin video, you may want to jump to 5:05 as this will take you to the… More Video ‘How to: Paint an Ork Warboss’

In this week’s short video, I’ll be showing a quick and easy method of painting up an Ork Nob’s flesh for the tabletop. With most ork armies there’s going to be a fair few Nobs, either leading boyz mobz, or in their own tough squads, so this quick (and easily variable) method is great for… More Video ‘How to: Paint Ork Nob Flesh
In this video, I’ll be showing how to paint a Death Skulls Meganob from start to finish. The techniques used are all easy to do, but combined together they’ll get your Meganobz looking great on the tabletop.

Welcome to another annual edition of Hobby Guilt, where we’ve realised that we really do have too many miniatures that need painting. With Christmas imminent, and we hope the arrival of many more models, we thought it would be best to finish off some of the things we already have. So let’s see what we… More The Hobby Guilt 2018 – Part 1

When I started playing about with Orks again a few weeks ago, I couldn’t help but notice the number of bare plastic and undercoated boyz. I wanted to paint them up quickly, and was going to do just that, with a quick ‘how to:’ post and video. Instead, I became distracted. One of the greatest… More Kustomizationz: The Ork Shield-Wall
With Orktober finally here, it’s all gone green at my particular part of Brush and Boltgun. Nurgle is on a nearby shelf, Stormcast are waiting for their turn under the brush, and the greenskins have burst onto the desktop like a spiky green plague. Prior to the Kommando nob and Painboy that we’ve covered this… More 9 Shades of Green – How to: Paint Ork Skin
In this video I’ll be giving a tutorial on how to paint an Ork Painboy. The model itself is great and full of details that give it a lot of character, to the point where it was an impulse buy for me. I’ve pasted a few links below to relevant videos which you may find… More Video ‘How to: Paint an Ork Painboy’
Way back in 2008 I got back into 40k after a long period of not playing or painting.
