Jon Grant Miniatures

The Feculant Gnarlmaw is a grotesque daemonic tree for the forces of Nurgle. It provides buffs to nearby Maggotkin but cost no points in Warhammer Age of Sigmar. As such they can be overlook, even though they are an essential part of the army. The Gnarlmaw has a range of different components, each requiring a different paint scheme and set of techniques.

  Painting Aeronautica Imperialis Bases One thing I’ve never understood about Games Workshop’s Aeronautica Imperialis range is why they don’t paint the bases. The sculpted radar screens and industrial-style riveted metal details give a fantastic thematic vibe—but left unpainted, they make the miniatures look unfinished.
