Oda Nobunaga
Here is how I painted Oda Nobunaga from the excellent "Daimyos" set from Warlord Games. These miniatures have been designed for the Pike & Shotte gaming system, but could be used in a variety of games.

Nurglings!
This started as a pure "How to paint Sassy Nurgling" guide, but he had far too many cute little mates to leave it there. Enjoy! Whilst I tend to remove them from my Death Guard miniatures, I really appreciate the sculpts and will happily paint them separately.

Comprehensive Paint Guide for Wargs for Middle-earth Strategy Battle Game
Wargs aren’t noble wolves or pristine hunting hounds — they’re the half-feral nightmares that stalk ruined roads and blasted hillsides, bred (or broken) into weapons. This guide leans into that: muddy, natural fur, cold, unhealthy skin, and a wet, brutal mouth that makes the face the focal point. Technically, the key is texture contrast: dry, coarse fur against smoother grey skin, then sharp teeth and glossy tongue to finish.

Alpha Galaxy - Clan Ghost Bear
My take on the 3rd Bear Guards of Clan Ghost Bear's Alpha Galaxy. I've really come to love the Ghost Bears after spending time with them in MechWarrior 2 and 5. And their paint scheme for their Alpha Galaxy is one of my favorites in the Battletech universe.
I got the idea for the snow texture on the base from this video by Painting Baron. Definitely recommend checking it out: https://youtu.be/9b4tKIedqjo?si=D_cmsAvdzziIG4l7 -
Sa'Cea Tau scheme
I couldn't find a decent tutorial for Sa'Cea Tau, in my opinion, the coolest colour scheme since the warm brown of the T'au sept (the white guys GW currently are rocking as the posterchild can go do one... imho)
2 paints are not included in PP's library, these are the Molotow range, they're great, in this scheme I use their colour, petrol as a base, and Liquitex Acrylic inks, I use their Magenta ink for effects. Feel free to sub these for something similar.
Lots of the listed paints are to provide alternatives to out-of-production colours I used, so if anyone wants to follow along, feel free to use those instead (main one being the Electric Blue I use as my drybrush pass on the armour. Any bright, saturated sky blue will do.
The same with whites, greys, blacks and metalics, just use what you have.
I wrote this while painting my test model for the scheme. I will update with pictures and effects as I get to them on different models -
Heralds of Decay army theme (deathguard)
Not really a model specific guide as my template for my Entire DG army. these models are heavy with rust and effects. So be cautious and what order you do so you don't get rust on stuff where it doesn't belong such as tentacles and robes. Just a word of advice
this is a good article for alot of stuff if you want to swap in and out effects and such

Comprehensive Paint Guide for Heart of Ghur Terrain
The Heart of Ghur terrain pieces are a central part of the wild, untamed theme of Ghur, the Realm of Beasts, in Warhammer Age of Sigmar.

This painting guide will walk you through the steps to bring out the earthy, wild aesthetic of Ghur using the reference provided. The focus will be on achieving the right textures and contrasts, ensuring your terrain pieces evoke the feeling of an ancient, dangerous wilderness.

Heresy Alpha Legion
A clean Alpha Legion scheme meant for speed. The most important bit is the hue of the blue-green armour. Other paints or mixes may give different results.
It's divided in two workloads; airbrushing the armor and filling the details. Each can be done on different sessions and on different amounts of models. For instance, I do the airbrushing on 10 to 20 models at a time and then the hand painting on 5 models at a time.
For this scheme you'll need an airbrush and some skill with it! -
Barons' War: William Marshal, Earl of Pembroke
I built this model using Wargames Atlantic's Mounted Knights (1150-1320) plastic kit and a head and arm from the Foot Knights (1150-1320) box. My aim with this guide is to leave you with a nice playable character from the "Dramatis Personae" section in the back of The Barons' War Second edition book and pay homage to the Footsore Miniatures model also available.

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. -
Warlords of Erehwon: Bandits & Brigands
This guide is a work in progress for now. I will update all of the recipes used as I go, but plan on finishing up each of the models when I feel inspired.
