"...the life of man, solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short."
-Thomas Hobbes
Space Marines live hard lives. Even scouts will have scars from thier years of training.
Analysing skin tones over the weekend course in Australia lead to discussion on how marine faces are different from human. Even a new astartes is a creature reformed into a weapon - hardened, weathered, scarred. Then vets of any distinction should have multiple surgeries, reinforced skulls, servo eyes, iron ...

...The farmer’s son tried to mount a wild horse. He was thrown on the ground and broke his leg. The neighbors came by to express their sympathies for this stroke of bad luck.
“We’ll see,” said the farmer.
The next day, the village had some visitors – military officers who had come with the purpose of drafting young men into the army. They passed over the farmer’s son, thanks to his broken leg.
The neighbors patted the farmer on his back – how lucky he was to ...

2024-03-29 15:28:39 +0000 UTC View PostHELLO MY LEGENDS -
This week has been a busy one. When you see this I will be teaching a sculpting course in Chicago. I thought I'd share the course materials here as well as an exclusive first look at the first few pages of "Guide to Colour Theory' - a book that is coming to kickstarter this year.
ENJOY!
Take 5, and remember - painting makes you feel good.
I sometimes forget painting is pleasurable! Always the next deadline, the next technique to try, the latest paint that will make it all come together. Damn I need that paint shaker.
This #hobbyhammer #oldworld challenge has been a breath of fresh air. Building units month by month reminds me of building an army with my pocket money.
It's also forced me to slow my process down. Mass-producing armies is an ...

It's an unusual video - I\'m joined by Keith, a student who took the opportunity to spend the weekend hanging out in the new studio talking about life, love, and his perfect grey.
We also play a lot of Creed. Enjoy.

This week we bring you the following:
How to paint grim dark orc skin - or Kruel boys in this case.
The student wanted to learn how to paint an orc skin tone closer to the Lord of the Rings version. We went for more olive tones, saturated with oranges and purples. A quick sketch, but pleased with the results.
Please note this video should be paired with How to Drybrush
Enjoy.
