Barons' War: Barricades
These barricades were a great excuse to try out a bunch of different wood recipes. I put a little more effort into these than I probably should, but I plan on getting a good amount of use from them.

My revised scheme for the newly released Space Marine Scouts Kill Team. This Tome Keepers recipe collection is similar to me previous one, but has a few tweaks to compliment the new design, and also reflect my growth as a painter.

Comprehensive Paint Guide for Uruk-hai Warriors for Middle-earth Strategy Battle Game
⚔️ Lore Context & Painting Philosophy
The Uruk-hai of Isengard are among the most iconic villains in Tolkien's legendarium — brutal, disciplined, and born from foul sorcery. Engineered by Saruman to surpass Orcs in strength, stature, and resilience, they first emerge en masse during the siege of Helm’s Deep, clad in grim iron and bearing the White Hand of their master.
Visually, Uruk-hai blend crude industry with brutal efficiency: patchwork steel plate, dark chainmail, and filthy leather wrappings over corrupted flesh. Their aesthetic is intentionally unrefined — everything about their design screams mass-produced cruelty.
This painting guide is designed to:
- Recreate the cinematic look of Peter Jackson’s film trilogy
- Be efficient enough to batch-paint large forces
- Provide options for detailing your heroes or centerpieces
This core guide focuses on the armoured Uruk-hai Warrior wielding sword and shield. We'll also include adaptations for Scouts and Berserkers. -

Hive Fleet Kronos Concept Art Colour Scheme
I've decided to eventually get around to making 1:1 colour schemes for all of the Tyranid Warrior art works of the 9 main Hive Fleets. Kronos is to be the first as it was the Hive Fleet I played during 9th Ed (that, and I am thoroughly biased for it haha).
For Kronos, the model used is a Norn Emissary as it is what I had at hand. I will eventually post a combined recipe for all 9 Hive Fleets, with the examples being 9 Tyranid Warriors, built (possibly cut up / kitbashed if necessary) and posed to be as close to the art as possible. Said combined post will also include Neuroloids to serve as examples for brain matter for each Hive Fleet, as close to the style each artwork was made with so to stay true to it.
The next 1:1 will be Jormungandr, followed by Behemoth, Kraken, Ouroboros, Hydra, Leviathan, Tiamat, and Gorgon in this order.
To keep things as simple to follow / do yourself, all paints used will be from Citadel, except for white. (Citadel white sucks, use literally any other brand)
Each ratio and mix has been tested multiple times, and is made to be exactly as shown in the art, so each ratio mentioned will be extremely specific.
If anyone has any questions or requests for artwork 1:1 recipes, feel free to ask me through Discord, located in my profile. -
