    How I paint - Gloomspite Gitz- Squigs

    Image
    When collecting Gloomspite Gitz it quickly becomes apparent that at some point you are going to paint squigs. This is my take on a classic red squig. Paints required: Wraithbone spray Khorne Red Army Painter Red Tone Averland Sunset Wazdakka Red Squig Orange Lahmian Medium Reikland Fleshwash Screamer Pink Pink Horror Pallid Wych Flesh Zandri Dust Agrax Earthshade Xereus Purple Genestealer Purple Yriel Yellow Druchii Violet .  Kantor Blue Thousand Sons Blue Ahriman Blue Temple Guard Blue . The miniatures were primed with Wraithbone spray. The scheme works over black, but you must build a nice sold layer of red at the start. This was then followed by a basecoat of Khorne Red . I thinned the Khorne Red with a little water. It took a few coats to get a nice solid finish. The miniature was then given a wash with Army Painter Red Tone thinned with a little water. The eyes were painted in with Averland Sunset .  To highlight the flesh, I began with Wazdakka Red . This was then foll...

    How I Paint Zombie Flesh

    Zombies have been a staple of many fantasy and science fiction settings for years, and Warhammer is no exception. Over the years, I have mainly collected Undead armies for Warhammer Fantasy Battle and Age of Sigmar. Back when I had a Vampire Counts army, I painted many shambling hordes of Zombies.

This gave me a great opportunity to experiment with a range of different flesh tones and levels of decay while still keeping the models feeling part of the same wider undead force. The Zombies of the Exiled Dead To do this, I decided to do a bit of research online. I know I have “borrowed” these ideas from somewhere, but I wrote them down at the time and cannot remember the original sources. All of the zombies were undercoated with Chaos Black spray, followed by a light dusting of Zandri Dust. This helps make applying...

    Aeronautica Imperialis - Faction Review - Orks

    Image
      Aeronautica Imperialis: Ork Faction Review UPDATED July 2025 The Orks (along with the Imperial Navy) were one of the first two factions released for Aeronautica Imperialis . They've been a core part of the Warhammer 40,000 universe since its earliest days, and in Aeronautica Imperialis , they bring the same chaotic character and ramshackle charm. Orks are a straightforward faction, full of personality, but they aren’t the most powerful force on the table. Choosing to play Orks is a bit like turning the difficulty up to Hard mode.  This article includes several example aircraft with various weapon loadouts, each showing the average damage output you can expect in a single round of firing. Also, be sure to check out my YouTube channel – Jon Grant Miniatures for gameplay videos. Orks Air Waaagh! Ork firepower is most effective at short range, and their aircraft are designed to close the distance with the enemy as quickly as possible. The smaller Dakkajets and Fighta Bommerz ...
