RuneBrush's Painting & Miniature Blog
Rumours 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 […]
Continue ReadingA bit of a muse for me rather than a constructive post. I’m struggling to keep my mind focused on what I’m meant to be doing so decided to have a bit of a break and create a post on here as a light diversion. So… The past couple of years had seen some quite […]
Continue ReadingDespite the lack of posts, I have been painting recently. I currently have a conga line of miniatures in various states of being painted. Annoyingly I’ve one Grey Hunter that I need to finish airbrushing, which is why there are only 8 of them!
Continue ReadingWell the past month has once again flown past in a flurry of rather dull real life interferences. It was however Games Day and Golden Demon 2013 on the 29th September and I spent the Friday evening and Saturday prior to the day rebuilding the base of the Contemptor Dreadnought I painted for last year […]
Continue ReadingAlthough I still have my drop pod to glue together, on Wednesday my other half wanted some company whilst she did some bits on the PC so I did a bit of airbrushing. I have now managed to base colour another block of Space Wolves, including the remaining 7 Blood Claws of the large pack […]
Continue ReadingNot sure what happened but everything seems to have “come together” over the weekend. I’ve done all of the edge highlighting (and pushed that further than I normally would) and got a coat of varnish on everything. I spent a bit of time yesterday evening gently scraping the two pieces where the fins slot in […]

There are times when you feel like people really do listen to your frequent grumblings and moaning. I have a very old (8 years) can of Citadel Boltgun Metal spray that I’ve sparingly used in the years since GW stopped making them. This is a nice dark silver colour that is in fact darker than […]
Continue ReadingWell the drop pod is almost at the point where I can begin to assemble it. All of the blue has been airbrushed and just needs some edge highlighting with a brush. The fins has have their red tips airbrushed and again just need a edge highlight. Once the edge highlight has been done I […]
