Hey Folks,
It´s time to paint our Ash Waste Stormcaller, aka the Helamite Herder!
I am really extremely sorry that it took so long to get something to you this month.
I have been herding a bug myself, if you want to call it like that!
I had planned to release the entire ...
Hi Folks,
Here is another episode of Straight from the Desk!
In this episode, we will paint our wonderful Helamite Queen!
Something technical before we start!
I have split up the video into 3 chapters to enable the new YouTube feature to auto-generate dubs
for the videos, new videos. The new feature automatically translates videos into 13 languages!

Hi Folks,
In this month's episode, it gets hairy!
We are not painting the usual grim space marine, we are painting a fearless mouse adventurer from the "Tale of Archduke Mousin "
I discovered the fantastic line of the "Tale of Archduke Mousin " a while ago.

Hi Folks,
This month's video is all about weathering!
Let´s talk about how this video came about.
I had just finished my weathering class at the past Adepticon in Milwaukee. And my long-time Patreon supporter and friend Chris Schmidt walks up to me, we chat a bit .. and he sees the base in my hand.
And he goes, "Wow, that's just what I need for my current project!" Too bad th...

Hi Folks,
Here is the final episode of AMG´s Gambit, where we will create the showbase and add the final touches to our model!
This base is a perfect example of how the base and the presentation of a model can elevate it from something that could still be a well-painted tabletop model to a showcase model.
I have talked about the importance of bases a few times before...
A wel...

Hey Folks,
It seems within a blink, this year is already almost over, and the holiday season is here!
I hope you all celebrate these days among your loved ones, with some good talks, amazing food, and nerdy goodness under the Christmas tree.
Hope you all get that ONE missing model that they were always longing for!
Maybe you can even find some hobby time and paint a bit, or watch a painting video (hiding in the closet from the inlaws :D )!!
Anyway, it´s a good m...

In this episode we will do loads of things: we will build or trench wall segment, paint our show base, and do the last final touches to the unit!

Time to take care of Hans- the Trench Ogryn!
More than 2h of evening-filling miniature painting goodness, covering all the different elements of this fantastic model.

He is the centerpiece that the whole unit evolved around.

Hey Folks,
Time to paint the Tree Goblin! He is my top favorite of the 4 BDWS Busts.
We will not only paint this one up... no, we will also do a small conversion!
I wanted to add an angler fish-like antenna because somehow his looks remind me of deep-sea creatures. I love the little detail of the leaf-like shaggy flesh elements, and I think you can also imagine him so nicely ...

Hi Folks,
this month we will be painting two little monster busts!
They are part of an amazing set of four semi-busts from BDWS Studio.
They are actually sculpted by hand at a larger scale, by the incredible GritsFx, scanned in, and printed in a smaller scale.

This is one of those videos that show you the whole process almost un-shortened.

Hi Folks,

In this video series, my good friend Matt Cexwish is creating an amazing "Insert Base".
An insert base is a showbase with embedded gaming bases, you could use for an army on parade display or for a golden demon unit entry.

Hi Folks,
This month is something from the past! The ghost of the past Painting Buddha. Today I am sharing some "lost files" with you. The first chapter of the Basing Alchemy Earth with you. This was a DVD series on different bases that Matt Cexwish and I did together! As it was an original DVD release the resolution was quite a bit lower and it can now be enjoyed in full HD for the first time.

This time we will not only focus on the purple pants, but we will also paint the tattered remains of his shirt that is dangling around his waist.
