RuneBrush's Painting & Miniature Blog
Although getting up earlier doesn’t appear to be getting any easier, I am ploughing through my ‘Wolves at quite a rate. The pack markings have been done, all of the bone elements and trinkets, black on the weapons and all the metallics. I’ve base coated and washed all of the ‘rope’/thong type bits that are […]
Continue ReadingI mentioned in The Wolves Progress that I’d got hold of a piece of wood that sits between my two desks to give me an extra bit of working area and was using this to keep my Space Wolves out as I work on them. This has been fantastic and I’m really making good progress […]
Continue ReadingBecause I clearly don’t have enough painting planned, I thought it would be sensible to buy my next project. So what if I’ve a Space Wolf army to paint and Imperial Knight to do? :p In all seriousness, I have recently purchased something completely different to work on, a 1:10 scale bust of a Templar […]
Continue ReadingBeen a little bit since I’ve posted because I’ve been struggling to get anything approaching a half decent photo because it always seems to be dark. Thankfully the mornings are getting light enough that I can take a few snaps before I go to work. I’m changing jobs the end of the month which is […]
Continue ReadingHats off to Element Games (and Royal Mail). I ordered two Imperial Knights (one for me and one for my brother) and my order arrived on Saturday morning, which means I got them on release day. Needless to say, the Knight did get opened and inspected and I have to admit, it’s a beautiful kit. […]
Continue ReadingIf you’re a Warhammer 40k player and even slightly observant, you’ll likely know that Games Workshop have pulled an absolute blinder on the 21st and released a new Super Heavy (walker) into the 40k universe – the Imperial Knight. This is a plastic kit, roughly 8 inches tall and probably one of the most imposing […]
Continue ReadingLast weekend I finally found a bit of time to play a game of Rivet Wars. After what seemed like an age of badgering I persuaded my other half that she wanted to have a game and she reluctantly agreed. This sounds really bad, but if I say that she prefers playing co-op style games […]
Continue ReadingRumours came out about 3 weeks back that Games Workshop were looking to get rid of their White Dwarf magazine and replace it with something different. Initially there were quite a few different rumours, but GW confirmed a week and a bit ago that they were going to be taking White Dwarf over to a […]
Continue ReadingWell although I didn’t get onto anything much early on this evening, I’ve just finished a quite productive session with the airbrush. Below is a (rather crap) photo. Everything has received a coat of The Fang, the minis that haven’t been shaded have then been shaded. Most of the tank has been sprayed but one […]
Continue ReadingTowards the end of last year, hobbyists got very excited when a Gamezone Miniatures announced that they were going to produce a 25th anniversary edition of the classic Heroquest game and put it on Kickstarter to get it funded. Those same hobbyists were equally very disappointed when the Kickstarter got pulled due to intellectual property […]
Continue ReadingIt looks like Forge World are undertaking various changes in the bundles that they offer. This might be related to the rumour that Games Workshop are redoing their whole website and incorporating Black Library, Forge World and GW into one store (at the same time Forge World take over Finecast production), or it could be […]
Continue ReadingDespite numerous delays and problems, the first part of the Kickstarter I was backing arrived on Monday! Rivet Wars: Eastern Front is a strategy board game and takes various concepts you’d find in a computer game and applies it to a miniature board game. Overall the miniatures are really good, some of the assembly leaves […]
Continue ReadingBlimey my first 2014 post! Can’t believe that January is flying past quite as quickly as it is. Fear not, although posts have been slow I have been doing some work on my Space Wolves (although not as much as I’d like) and almost have a Predator and Rhino ready for undercoating (magnetised so I […]
Continue ReadingWell the weather outside is awful today, despite yesterday being quite pleasant (though quite cold). Although I’ve been putting it off, I’ve now started the fur pelts and decorations on my Blood Claws. I’ve never enjoyed doing these as I’ve not really found a way that I like of painting them, however it’s a necessity […]
Continue ReadingFirstly, Happy Christmas! I hope you all had a good day and didn’t over indulge 🙂 True to form for a mid-week day, I was awake fairly early, so took the opportunity to start the edge highlighting on my Blood Claws. Sadly I didn’t manage to get them finished before the break, but did manage […]
Continue ReadingWell I’ve finally got round to creating a custom theme for the blog and new logo. I think the new look is a bit smarter and tidier and has a few extra bits and bobs behind the scenes so that it should view a little bit better on smaller format screens (such as tablets). I’d […]
Continue ReadingMaking a bit of progress on my Blood Claws on a day off after a really nice weekend away. Weapons have received their washes now so just a matter of a bit of drybrushing and then sorting out the black sections. They can then be put to one side until I get the pack of […]
Continue ReadingFor some unknown reason I’ve never published an update to my Drop Pod construction. I clearly began to create a post but then had a moment of epic fail and didn’t put anything other than a collection of pictures together. The drop pod is actually glued together now (the pics below don’t show the “engine” […]
Continue ReadingIn recent years, miniature painters have become to be more and more “sophisticated” with their painting tools and quite a few people have moved over to a wet palette as their palette of choice for painting. I’m pretty positive that the vast majority of people reading this will know what a wet palette is and […]
Continue ReadingThere are times when people’s stupidity absolutely astounds me. I look round and see things that are small miracles of technology and engineering in their own right and wonder how in a world of wonder there are as many ass hats living in it… The Royal Mail has recently changed their “Restricted Goods” list for […]
