Hope you're having a great week. Here comes the news:
Patreon & swatches
This Friday there'll be the next update for the 7-in-1 colour matching document, carrying over the accuracy improvements for AK 3rd Gen paints.
Next week, there'll be a new, combined swatch for Vallejo Game AND Model Color. This will be a freebie for Dire Avengers (and above), and for anyone who bought both the single Game and Model...

With the Saturnine Dreadnought and Lord Vitriolic done (pictures soon on Tale of Painters!), I returned to the Skaven Master Moulder I painted to about 80% before Saturnine came out. All that's left now is doing the final details and touch-ups. I also did the airbrushing on the Chainrasps, which will probably be the next in line. Can I finish the original Nighthaunt Spearhead this year? I'm not making any promises :D

Hope you're doing great! I'm currently working on a few things, for example a video about The Army Painter's new Speedpaint markers, a look at Green Stuff World paints, which will also come with a new paint swatch, Bear Cavalry paints, Vallejo Metal Color and Liquid Metal (which will probably become an expansion of the Model Color swatch), and more. There'll also be a new combined Model and Game Color swatch, plus more updates to existing swatches. Phew! Since I'll be on vaca...

So last week I was working on the new Lord Vitriolic model, very fun model to paint with the smoke effect. Almost done now, just needs some more refinement. I also started assembling some Chainrasps, since I noticed I only have random models in my Nighthaunt collection. Would be nice to have at least a playable Spearhead force painted ;)

Hey folks, here comes a huge update for my popular AK 3rd Gen swatch. For the new V2.0 version, I implemented a lot of quality of life improvements:
Every colour has been revisited & rebalanced to get the accuracy as perfect as possible, I also improved the image quality for some colours
Added the Frost Effect paint I somehow missed before
The alternate chart, which is sorted by product codes, now actually shows the product code...

I'm currently completing my collection of metallic paints from Vallejo. A lot of people asked me about Metal Color, so I want to add them and Vallejo Liquid Metal paints to the Model Color swatch. Thank you very much for your support, as they are quite expensive and your support here on Patreon helps me investing into paints I can't get review samples for. I also plan to do a ranking or tier list video comparing every paint brand's metallic paints at some point, so they're great reference mat...

The naughty boy is done! Well, 99%, just need to fix a transfer on the shoulder pad not visible in the photo above, and give the model a final coat of varnish. Love this model so much and can't wait to take proper pictures for you!
Next on the table is a "secret" project ;)

How are you doing? With the AMP video out, and the updates for the Pro Acryl swatch and 7-in-1 document done, I started working on the next round of swatches. Green Stuff World and Bear Cavalry paints will be next. I'm also working on updates on the AK swatch, a combined swatch of Vallejo Game and Model Color was requested, and I would love to add Vallejo Metal Color to the Model Color swatch and 7-in-1 document. So lots of things coming in the next weeks and months :)

Work on the Sons of Horus Saturnine Dreadnought is almost complete! All that's left is adding decals, finishing the base with pigments, and a coat of matte varnish to take off the gloss :)

Hey folks, here comes a huge update for my popular 7-in-1 colour matching document: V2.0! For the new version, I added all of the exclusive AMP and Warpaints Historical colours and improved accuracy for a lot of Pro Acryl colours. V2.0 also has an increased page size (plus two columns and one row) to make room for future paint additions. The added space also allowed me to rearrange a few colours here and there so that the colour sequences become more intuitive (hopefully ;) <...

With the Pro Acryl swatch updated with the AMP paints, later this week comes the big V2.0 update for my 7-in-1 colour matching document that adds both AMP and Warpaints Historical colours in an updated, more spacious layout. I'll also post the video review of the AMP paints, telling you all about the similarities and differences with the main Pro Acryl range.
After that, the next "new" swatches I'm working on will be Green Stuff World and Bear Cavalry, plus there will be a few more upda...

Hey folks, here comes the big update V1.4 for my Pro Acryl swatch! The updated version has the 18 new colours from the AMP Cosmic paint sets, plus improved accuracy for a handful of colours.
How to get the new version (as a Patreon member):
Hope you're good! The P3 review video had a rocky start since I forgot that they had the big Warhammer Preview running at the same time. Views tanked after the preview started 😅 Well, I hope the video will be a grower, not a shower.
Next up will be the review for the AMP paint sets from Monument Hobbies. And to this end, I hope to have the updated Pro Acryl swatch with the new colours ready this Friday. As usual, this will be a free update for those who already own the Pro Acryl swa...

Mde some good progress on the Saturnine Dreadnought last week. He'll be part of my Sons of Horus collection, but from the First Compandy, hence the black paint job. I'm still jumping from subassembly group to subassembly group, but it starts to come together. Can't wait to see him finished!

Hey there! The P3 swatch is finally out, with the video following on Friday and the written review on Saturday. There are still a few quirks with my Patreon shop, but I hope it works for now. Next projects are AMP from Pro Acryl and updating the Pro Acryl swatch, Bear Cavalry paints, the big 2.0 update for my 7-in-1 document, Green Stuff World paints, and a few more surprises and updates :)
Another important update for those who missed it: I removed all of my masterclas...

Patreon will be changing its shop system soon, and I'll have to re-upload all products when the change is rolled out.
Don't worry, you'll always have access to your purchased products via the purchase confirmation email (and if in doubt, you can always drop me a message, and I'l...

Long time no painting update... because I was secretly working on the new Saturnine Dreadnought! Really love this model and want to do it justice. I spent a lot of time making a scenic base, and as you might notice, I'm going for the black and deep red Sons of Horus scheme of the First Company :)
PS: Don't mind the recent colour swatches posts. They're not new, just needed to tidy up a few things for the shop.

Finally! After a lot of back-and-forth my set of P3 paints arrived. I asked for dropper bottles multiple times, but beggars can't be choosers ;) I immediately started work on the much requested paint swatch and review video, both should be out the week after next week! Good impression so far, metallics are a great improvement, while the acrylics didn't change too much. They improved the covering power of some of the weaker colours, apart from that they still flow very well and dry quite satin...
