RuneBrush's Painting & Miniature Blog
In less than a couple of weeks, a few hundred die hard fans will be heading to Nottingham for the Horus Heresy Weekender 2017! This event has rapidly become one of the highlights of the year for fans of the heresy and this year I’m sure will be no different. So this post has been […]
Continue ReadingA slightly belated Happy New Year! In this post I go over progress on my Acastus Knight Porphyrion, putting together my AoS Death army and the plans I’ve got for 2017 – needless to say, I’m planning far too much! I spent quite a bit of time not at home over Christmas, so though I made […]
Continue ReadingThe Forge World Acastus Knight Porphyrion was unveiled at the Horus Heresy Weekender in February put up for sale last week and I can happily say that I have one of these in my hands and what a beast! Weighing in at 1.6Kg and pretty much the same height as a Warhound Titan the Acastus […]
Continue ReadingWell Forgeworld are teasing us again with their latest blog post! It would appear that the long awaited Heresy Space Wolves upgrade pack is very soon to be released to the public. If past teasers are anything to go by then we can expect a release the end of this week. Interestingly the old Space […]
Continue ReadingWell the Horus Heresy Weekender 2016 is over and what an event it was! Lots of new miniatures, lots of new information and “read between the lines” and plenty of photos taken! (some up on my new Twitter account but others will be added later on). This was the first time I’d managed to do this event […]
Continue ReadingI’m starting to enjoy this 52 week challenge! Week 3’s targets have been comfortably achieved and I’ve done a few other bits to boot! Firstly I’ve created myself a Twitter account. Although I’m generally against “personal” Twitter accounts where people post up the fact they’ve just made a sandwich or gone to the toilet, I […]
Continue ReadingWeek 1 of my 52 Week Challenge has gone fairly well although it has rolled over a little due to the sheer scale of the amount of tidying and sorting I’ve had to do. Significant quantities of sorting, binning and re-arranging has occurred and I’ve now got numerous piles of old miniatures that have been […]
Continue ReadingI know January isn’t for another 3 weeks, but I’ve been exceptionally rubbish at putting new things onto this blog, despite having done quite a bit of modelling and painting, and there being various “big news” releases over the past 6 months. So I’m resolving to identify that and try and get something up new every […]
Continue ReadingI cannot believe that it’s the middle of June and until a couple of days ago the only painting I had done was painting the kitchen! That said, the transfers on my Death Guard got done a few months ago and have turned out really nice, it’s worth taking the time to cut as much […]
Continue ReadingIn comparison to how long it normally takes me to paint, my first squad of Death Guard are progressing really quickly. As you can see from the above picture, I have got the airbrushing, initial details and varnish done on the first fifteen. I’ve done the washing on four and done the first metallic highlight […]
Continue ReadingWhere the hell has January gone? I can’t believe that four weeks ago today was New Years Eve and I was looking forward to a quieter year with more modelling opportunities crammed in… The last ten days have been really bizarre for me and a lot of the UK in general. My other half managed […]
Continue ReadingWell I’ve been trying to finish off a post for the past week but just don’t seem to have found the time – sorry! The fact that the blog ate all of the entry on Tuesday didn’t help… I have however managed to get a bit painting in. My second Death Guard tester went really […]
Continue Reading2012 is now firmly behind us and overall was pretty crap. That said I am on the whole an optimistic person and I did manage to get two very significant projects completed (the Stormlord Tank and Space Wolves Contemptor) and ended the year with enough cash in my hobby pot to collect most of a […]
Continue ReadingI took the first of my Forge World miniatures home last night and washed the first ten marines whilst my other half was doing some baking. This is the first time I’ve properly inspected any of the miniatures and overall they’re not too bad. There are some bits that will need to be green stuffed […]
Continue ReadingWell Forge World have really done a good job on the pre-Christmas delivery and I have a rather large box of resin sat next to me at work. Considering I ordered this last Friday, it’s arrived in less than three working days which is actually faster than I’ve ever received an order previously. Although I’ve […]
Continue ReadingEvery year Forge World do a Christmas jigsaw puzzle of one of the releases for the early part of next year. There’s been some discussion about what it is, but they’ve just released the last piece and it’s Mortarion’s favoured – The Deathshroud. And they’re lovely miniatures too, absolutely full of character and uniqueness. They’re […]
Continue ReadingThe Forge World seminars are always a wonderful source of information and pleasure. Because Forge World are a smaller team, much of their work is planned months in advance and they’re not bound to the same ‘tight lipped’ secrecy that has become synonymous with Games Workshop. I think some of this is because Forge World […]
