A place for me to dump my Warhammer
Now the more and more I play the game with Arnau, the more I feel the pull of Space Marines. However I just cannot move past the fact that… they are evil, in some way. At least its the way it feels to me. I had been struggling with this for month weeks!! Until it […]
So a while ago, when I finally got the digital prints for the Eldar Model Joaquin Palacios did for me! I think its pretty clear to see the difference between the two casts. Interestingly I wouldn’t have actually thought there could be such a difference in the 2 casts having used the cheaper caster for […]

Ever since I saw John WIggly’s “Alternative” helmets that he did as part of the 3rd edition Craftworlds Eldar Supplement Codex I knew I wanted them (sculpted) Being born into the hobby and having that codex be released was maybe the greatest thing that has ever happened to me in my life bar non!!! Thus […]
It actually didn’t occur to me until I was much much older but while playing as a 13 year old. I never thought it odd that warp spiders didn’t have a phoenix lord. I didn’t really care tbh happy with there being so many models already and also many many more that I hadn’t ever […]
At last!!! I will get a green from Mr Diaz! No copies, no casts! Just green 😀 lol I’ve been talking with Diaz for a while now just about the good old days and well, our love for green. However I had no idea that he would rekindle his love for working with green and […]
Day 1 Day 2 – Using inks for the first time. I actually had never used inks before, I kind of thought they were absolutely awful. As when I used them as a child, they left horrible “circle marks”. The recess or left over stains from where the ink was applied. However now I’m trying […]
Funnily the first thing that hits me is the “ink” is much more “inky” in this version lol than the one in the book. But also just how much more information there is. In fact, I loved this artwork so much that I had a 30cm model sculpted on it! The sculpt is clearly slightly […]
What luck I have had and Dave thank you very much for selling to me! I am extremely grateful for this purchase! The 2 pieces I bought are actually some of my all time favourite artworks from my favourite Codex of all time. 3rd Edition! Albert had told me he had a replace from Dave […]
The Delivery The process Rider FInal Product
Well… For an extremely long time I loved this artwork a lot. Like a really lot. I am not really sure why I love the drawing so much tbh. But I do and hunted it for a very long time. I first emailed Karl in 2017.. then again every 3/4 months for 23 months, poor […]
4/5th of Febuary – Starting Avatar Having just “finished” the Asrumen statue I was skimming through the Eldar 3rd Edition Codex just as i normally do to comfort myself, I bloody love that codex lol. I saw upon the red/darker version of the avatar in the book. This was actually the original model and colours […]
I can honestly say I’ve never come over a little q…. David Brent 2001 So this little guy, being so bloody big I had no idea if I should or could paint it. With that in mind, I just thought “lets bloody go for it and not give 2 shits about how he turns out” […]
I do very much prefer it when I live edit these posts so I don’t have to crawl through months and months of messages 😀 But here it goes!! The beautiful wonderful Vlad Fox and his Eldrad Statue for me!! The Startings – Humble Beginnings Update 2 – So… with no feedback from me whatsoever […]
Whilst painting my Avatar I was going through the different blood reds I had as I wanted to make sure that the model I was painting looked the same as it did when it was made, so 1998 really. Which meant I was using the paints from then. The black screw lids. However… At the […]
Apparently it turns out my documenting of this model is very very limited 😀 But I guess, this was one of the models that I gave almost no feedback too, which is pretty rare and a testament to Vlads skills when its not “100% perfect Eldar”!! Here were all the references photos I could supply […]
Way back in December 2016 I emailed a chap who had posted what was a very very rare thing. 2nd Ed sealed boxes… But a lot of them. The order was completed on the 20th of April 2017. My eyes watered just looking at it. After around 45 emails back and forth with Daniel we […]
This was done over a year ago now, which is a shame. But the model was at the castors for some 9 months without it being cast. Finally they are being sent back to me 🙂 This was the first model done our lord and saviour Robby Crawforth lol So here he is!! Foundations Body […]
Something a little bit different this time round. I would say different in aesthetics more than anything. The sculptor I would say wasn’t the “normal” gw style. Which led me to the perfect Exodite model for his dynamics. Update #1 – Foundations I didn’t really have much to say even when he asked lol. I […]
This was actually the first painting that I had ever seen and thought… Yes, this is the model I would like to have sculpted. I have no idea why it “spoke” to me in such a way, but it opened up the way for me and my sculpting journey. Mapping the pose I never actually […]
So I wasn’t actually part of this “commission” and by that i mean, I had no hand in the idea or input. It was all Mr Robby. But after he showed me the model I thought… ye fair play i do certainly want that!
I had the luck of stumbling upon a website that was selling Geoff’s original arts for reasonable prices. At least relative for how much I loved this artwork. Here are the images when I was in the framing shop, as in, without the glass barrier that strips out all of the colour 😀 So of […]
Odd thing to blog about lol but I enjoyed seeing all the FW items laid out on a shelf truth be told!
I had actually never seen this artwork before. Which does take the “need” to buy it away a touch. But I saw it and thought… hum hummm yep! I love it I do!! Getting it in person was much much better than seeing the images Des had shared. The sly dog!!! I need to update […]
