RuneBrush's Painting & Miniature Blog
Well I managed to put together the last few Space Wolves and infact managed to magnetise the Lascannons on my Razorback in time to take with me to my brothers. We managed to have three very good Warhammer 40,000 games, with me playing my Space Wolves and him playing his Daemons and have a much […]
Continue ReadingScarily a very quick browse on Games Workshop’s website earlier on and I’ve actually decided on what I’m going to do as my Golden Demon entry (and bought it too). Purely by chance a Eldar Wraithlord model popped up in the “have you looked at” box. The basic GW one is very plain and stood […]
Continue ReadingWell I had quite a successful weekend on my Space Wolves, despite rolling out the Sculpey I baked too thick, resulting in me having to bake another (thinner) piece. I have now assembled and based (still need to be sanded) a Rune Priest in Terminator armour, four Long Fangs (two missile launchers and two lascannons) […]
Continue ReadingThe weekend of gaming with my brother draws ever closer and I had my first opportunity last night to actually do some modelling (slotted between the washing). Due to various work items and visiting my girlfriend I’ve not actually had an evening solely to myself since last Tuesday or Wednesday, so took the bull by […]
Continue ReadingEver had a sudden flash of inspiration where something has dawned that is so obvious you just want to kick yourself? Well I’ve just had that.. I was just reading a forum post and suddenly wondered how much it would cost me to get together a squad of Space Wolves on bikes (Swiftclaws). Reading up, […]
Continue ReadingHo hum, despite poring over the internet for Rune Priest ideas, I realised yesterday that Rune Priests are actually armed with Runic Weapons and Wolf Priests are armed with Crozius Arcanum’s – which means the weapon I’ve converted actually doesn’t look quite right – oh joy. So I’m faced with a few different thoughts. Currently […]
Continue ReadingAs I mentioned in my post on Monday, I’ve been invited to have a game (well games technicall) of 40k with friends in Cheltenham using my Space Wolves. This coupled with the fact I’ve agreed to also play some games with my brother on the weekend 18th ~ 20th March have made me dust off […]
Continue Reading…to create a decent Thunderhawk Gunship for a sensible price using regularly available components? The last weekend I visited friends in Cheltenham and have subsequently been invited along for a few 40k games with my Space Wolves should I fancy it. It also seems that they play fairly large (as in Apocolypse sized) games which […]
Continue ReadingI’ve recently been painting a GW Shrine of the Aquila 40K building. Well when I say painting I actually mean airbrushing. I’ve now managed to do a nice mottled blue on the outside of the building and a mottled creamy colour inside. Doing something on this scale really teaches you airbrush control and repeatability, as […]

Continue ReadingYes, ignore the fact that it’s actually the 14th January! The past couple of months have flown by as they have a tendancy to do around the Christmas period. I have actually done quite a bit of painting during that time too. Not as much as I would have liked, but enough to say that […]
Continue ReadingDespite my last post being in August and saying that I’ve almost got my office/modelling area finished, I’m only now coming close (yes it’s December next week). I’ve got sliding shelves in one of the cupboards now and have almost brought over most of the stuff from Mum’s. It’s just down to random bits and […]
Continue ReadingAnd yet another month has flown past without me touching any modelling or painting. My office has almost come together and I just need to fit some sliding shelves into one of the cuboards and put the doors on and all will be pretty much done. I’ve largely resigned myself to the fact that I’m […]
Continue ReadingThis weekend I finally got round to moving most of the ‘desk based’ items from my Mum’s house over to mine, so I potentially could actually start painting and modelling. I also shifted across the Dreadnought that I did as last years GD entry and had a weird thought – how about having another go […]
Continue ReadingYup, over eight months since my last post and boy have things changed in my life. I have recently just bought (and moved into) my first house which has consumed bags of time and money – but worth it without a doubt. I have a three bedroom semi-detached place with garden and garage. I’ve just […]
Continue ReadingGreat, just when I was getting into the swing of things again I go and injure myself. I’ve somehow managed to end up with an inflamed lung lining, this was absolute agony yesterday. So I am now on a short course of anti-inflamatories, hopefully it sorts itself out by the weekend as I’m meant to […]
Continue ReadingThe weekend allowed me to make good progress on the Wolf Guard Terminator that I’m painting. The armour has come out OK, not as smooth as I’d like, but it has been a learning curve without a doubt. The key thing I’ve learned is that I need to ensure that my highlights are thin enough […]
Continue ReadingI borrowed the Tomb King Warhammer Army book off my brother yesterday, although it’s quite sparse on artwork there are some key elements that I could use for a possible entry for GD2010. There is a really quite cool map/article that describes lots of traps encountered in a small pyramid. One thing that is interesting […]
Continue ReadingI can’t believe that there has been 10 days since my last post, it’s true that the closer to the festive period you get the faster the time seems to fly past. I have however managed to get some painting squeezed into this last week and a half, so I’m thankfully not having large gaps […]
Continue ReadingWell the weekend went quite well, especially considering I didn’t actually do lots in the way of modelling. I did however get all 14 Blood Claws assembled & based and also finished off the Scouts and based those as well (yes two dozen bases). So all I have left to do is the 6 Long […]
