Here are some tips for breaking it down into sections to facilitate easy assembly and painting. I’ll also show you how to magnetize the left arm’s two different cannon muzzles to make them interchangeable. […]

The new Chaos Space Marine Helbrute from GW is not only terrific for its own sake, it’s also great for the extra conversion bits it provides.For those of us with multiple Dark Vengeance (DV) starter set Helbrutes the extra arms and heads allow us to convert multiple variants of that model. When I purchased the […]

Space Marines of disparate chapters often work together to defend the Imperium and nothing captures that spirit better than this classic model from Games Workshop.It depicts a Blood Angel, Dark Angel and Ultramarine raising an Imperium Aquila flag together over rough ground strewn with skulls. About 14 years ago Games Workshop made this Space Marine […]

GW doesn’t sell a plastic Ork Big Mek just yet, but there’s no reason why you can’t make one fairly easily from bits.I actually started with a plastic push-fit Ork Boy for this conversion. A multi-part Ork Boy would work just as well. He has been heavily modified using bits from all manner of other […]

The Chaos Warshrine model is pure chaos, it’s really a bunch of different models in one. Here’s how I tackled painting mine. The model consists of the two Chaos Mutants, the shrine they carry, the champion on top, the large icon pole, and numerous other detailed components like books, altars and braziers. As one might […]

It’s no secret that GW’s sales were down in 2013 from the previous year and that their stock price plummeted on January 16, 2014 when this was formally announced in their most recent financial report.As a GW customer of more than two decades I can’t help but have some thoughts and lamentations about it.

A friend of mine built this impressive Imperial Guard display for last summer’s Games Workshop Armies On Parade contest.He entered it at Games Workshop Bowie, MD and needless to say it was the winner.

Looks like more Easter eggs have been spotted in the latest 40k supplements from over the weekend.  This time clear side view shows what appears to be new Tyranid Warrior type models with Lash Whip bits. Even more curious are the new look to the scything talons on these models too, as well as the […]

Warhammer Ogres are a fun model range, but their all Finecast characters start at $40 US each.Converting characters from the plastic box sets is not only fun, it will save you a lot of money. Here’s how I converted mine. First, the Ogre Bulls box set of six plastic Ogres is your friend here. Six […]

There has been much Internet chatter over the past year about Games Workshop discontinuing Finecast and there is foreshadowing in their new releases and store stock that it’s true.Based on my many experiences with Finecast, I will welcome this change if it is true. Here’s why. To be blunt, Finecast overall is not a good […]

Hello everyone! Brandon here from GMM Studios with a little blast from the past, Adepticon style! I have been going to Adepticon for five years now, with 2013 being the fifth consecutive.  I have made “Chicago” as it is know among those close to me into something of a personal test of will, creativity, and drive.
