“But, you know, I feel more fellowship with the defeated than with saints. Heroism and sanctity don’t really appeal to me, I imagine. What interests me is being a man.” Attributed to Mortarion [Unverified] ++++++++++++++++++++++ Like Typhus, Mortarion allowed me the chance to stretch my weathering legs. The armour was painted in a pale bone and shaded […]

What an utterly gorgeous kit. I knew from the outset I wanted more of a classic paint job – earthy oranges, greens and browns. The wood effect was created using a base of a red brown highlighted with pure white, then washed with orange. In the very highest parts I have added texture to the […]

Another model on the hit list of things I must paint before I shuffle off this mortal coil. The work Jes done on the initial Warhammer 40K character models went on to define the very character of the armies themselves. The Blood Angels had the late antiquity/ renaissance vibe, the Imperial Guard had Yarrick, Space Wolves = Dark […]

“Let history mark my words well, for I care nothing about who sits proud on the Throne of Terra when the last day dawns. Horus is a fine commander, but that’s the limit of my admiration for that arrogant, preening bastard. I joined his rebellion because I can tolerate him easier than I can endure the […]

“…And so I will deal with all tyrants and deceivers.” Epic is a word that fits this model. “…And so I will deal with all tyrants and deceivers.” Epic is a word that fits this model. From a single sentence in the background history, the Heresy grew. Over 25 years ago Horus would make a […]

The second version of Lorgar, Primarch of the Word Bearers.I’ve entitled this piece ‘The Tears of Monarchia”. Lorgar has just been chastised by his father and still bears the ash tears of the perfect city. The ash in his left hand was created by piling weathering powder on the base and sealing it with hair […]

“Because we couldn’t be trusted. The Emperor needed a weapon that would never obey its own desires before those of the Imperium. He needed a weapon that would never bite the hand that feeds. The World Eaters were not that weapon. We’ve all drawn blades purely for the sake of shedding blood, and we’ve all […]

Myles from Lil’loser Studios here with a project I hope you fancy.  Well, this has been quite a journey. I started a Blood Angel force when I first started blogging and like many projects I start I didn’t feel my skills were up to realising my vision for the commander.  The Caverrera campaign has obsessed […]

Hi, Myles from Lil ‘Legend Studio here with a new Imperial Knight Titan!Outside of Forge World releases I can’t remember being this excited about a kit in a long time. I know the kit has its detractors, but I think this thing is a must buy for any collector of 40K. When I picked up the kit I […]

Hi, Myles from Lil ‘Legend Studio here with a look at another Fulgrim commission.“I have no faith in human perfectibility. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active – not more happy – nor more wise, than he was 60,000 years ago.”  Intimations on Perfection, unpublished treatise. Author […]

Hi, Myles from Lil ‘Legend Studio here with the first large vehicle I have tackled from Forge World, the Sicaran Battle Tank.  The tracks were the biggest obstacle to overcome in an otherwise supreme kit. The metals were painted using the tutorial of the Red Scorpion Land Raider Forge World Master Class Vol. 2.  The Sons of Horus […]

The […]

“Now we become Death, and the Destroyer of Worlds.” -Unattributed. Hi, Myles from Lil ‘Legend Studio here with the second Typhus / Typhon that I have painted. The first, the 41st millennium version can be found here. Like the first, I worked this model up from a white base coat shading with colours rather than black (a technique […]

I’m begging for more likes but this time I wanted to offer you something really special. Once this page hits 1500 “Likes” I will be giving away one converted & painted (if a model already exists from Forgeworld’s catalogue I will be painting that for you) Primarch miniature to one lucky winner. What do you […]

General. Liberator. Conqueror. First Son of the Imperium. Horus Lupercal. This pict capture (recovered from a routine data sweep of Imperial records, Terra) shows the Heretical Primarch Horus leading his forces at Ullanor. The Ullanor Crusade marked the largest war undertaking in Imperial History toppling the Xenos Ork empire; safeguarding the future of Humanity amongst […]

Myles here from Lil’ Loser Studios with the final photos for the Iron Hands Legion Primarch, Ferrus Manus. This is my first Primarch project and i’m relieved to have one under my belt. I own Angron and Fulgrim but indecision has forced me to put off the projects to later dates. Still wrapped up in […]

Terra was not created in order to disappear – Terra will endure and flourish. It is the child of hope and the home of the brave. It can neither be broken by adversity nor demoralized by success. It carries the shield of democracy and it honors the sword of freedom. Ancient Terran War Chieftain. ++++++++++++++++++++ […]
