🕑 Added 2025-04-29 15:19:07 +0000 UTCFirst up, there’s a new YouTube video out!
It’s a custom Red Space Marine tutorial, loosely based on the Blood Angels PDF I posted a while back.
I found an old firstborn marine and gave it a modern upgrade using the sponge and a few other techniques.
Some interesting results for sure, go check it out if you haven’t already.
Also, a quick sorry! Last time, I said the Horus Heresy Dark Angels batch paint would be out already.
Still chipping away at it, but it’s taking a bit longer than I expected.
It’s a big one! 60 Marines, so I’ve decided to split it into two parts.
One will focus just on batch painting tips and tricks in general,
The other will be a proper ‘how to paint’ guide for the Horus Heresy Dark Angels specifically.
I think splitting them makes more sense instead of cramming it all into one.
Meanwhile, I’ve been working on a custom conversion: a spear-throwing marine.
I and a lot of people recommended Emperor's Spears, and it is the top pick so far, but if you’ve got other chapter ideas, let me know here too!
Planning to give him a proper lightning spear with arcs of lightning actually glued on — not just painted effects this time.
Should be a pretty wild one when it’s done.
Thanks for the support as always!

Emperor's Spears is the obvious choice, but I'd like to see Howling Griffons. Would be interesting to see how you approach yellow and a quartered scheme. Not to mention the blue lighting and tan tabbards would look great.
