WIP Uther Pendragon
Here he is after a couple days painting and recording. I filled out some areas on Twitch but didn't add any steps. It's been a fun one, a lot of tinkering and moving lights around. Next I'll bring some ink and red reflections into play. Decent!There will also be a healthy amount of folia...
Finished, Again! Forge of the Gods
Forge of the Gods from Mindwork Studio. 2023 is all about the classy pieces and this one is no exception. I painted it up during some private lessons but was unsatisfied with the color of the base. So it sat for months until I snapped it off and made things right again. This serves as a good example...
Accepting Defeat
Sometimes the rain keeps falling, those big drop run into your pockets, mix with your tears, and pull your pants down..In the rain still. It's hard to walk like that.I flubbed it on this video I intended to make. There are still parts I can salvage and will feature later on. To learn is to fail,...
Mistakes in Water Effects.
The recent project I've been working on is coming along quite well. There are a lot of fun things in play, until today.As you can see from the pictures above, hirtoes alone cannot contain the liquids behind the wall of plasticard.Ideally I would attach the plasticard with a glue gun but I didnt ...
Oi Ye Zoggin Git!
I may have used that title already in the past, but it's a good one! This has a bit of a tale attached to it.While chatting it up at Adepticon, Bill (Berzerkerworks) and I came to an arrangement. The deal was one chainmail shirt for one painted figurine. I was surprised that this is all he wante...

Imperial Fists: Additional Details

Leviathan Terminators: Imperial Fists Style
Leviathan mania is sweeping the nation, so much so that it's sold out. But here lies the struggles of one man, grappling with the color yellow and what is expected by the Emperor. I had a blast painting these new upscaled Terminators. I'm sure the boxed set will have even more to offer. Many...
Garbagehammer 40K
This is getting out of hand.At first I saw some potential in these spent vape cartridges and wanted to make a small piece, conjure some of that old school energy when you had to get a little more crafty with your scenery. Make a small video, take pictures of my retro orks standing among it. I kept c...
For Dorn!
Leviathan fever is sweeping the nation. Or at least, dwelling on my mind. I'm excited for the new edition and this box gave me a chance to paint some great models. So I dipped in to the Imperial side on the box and painted some yellow ones.I'll have a full tutorial on these and the basing up...
Tyranids Special Effects!
In today's video we will answer the question no one has asked. How do I paint brains, spores, and sacks? I pulled some colors already in use on my army and with simple combinations, created some good effects. Enjoy!Colors Used:From Vallejo, Emerald, Black, White, and Deep Yellow.
Dorn's Chunky Knuckles
Leviathan fever is sweeping the net and my studio is no exception. Recently I got my hands on the Army Painter's full set of Warpaints Air. So I'm giving them a run and picking a lane, after much deliberation, when it comes to what color of space marine. I paint them from time to time and wi...
Leviathan Progress Log!
Phew, this last month has been FULL of painting. As I was working on the Tyranids from the new starter set, I kept track of the days I made progress on. I'll have some tutorials coming along soon but here I wanted to capture the process of half planning a color scheme and then figuring out the o...
Leviathan Day!
Finally, I can show off the secret project I've been working on. I have to rush off to TMX but I wanted to show you my army, here, first. Cheers and remain unchained!-Sam

Sky High!
Remember Micro Machines? Yes/no? Well here one is! Something very different for me and I had a blast. There isn't much to say here that isn't said in the video. Enjoy!Colors used:From Vallejo, Deep Yellow, Violet Red, Verdigris, Emerald, Dark Prussian Blue, Light Green, Bright Orange, Flat E...
For The Best Mod
Behold, Uther Pendragon from Big Child Creatives. This model gives me a lot of room to play with sky and earth reflections. And who doesn't love a little dose of Camelot lore? That will be fun to dwell on when I get to this.It's also a gift for the greatest mod, mod of my life, Turkeygerky. ...
WIP Sky High
Well look at this lil buggy/buddy.Back in the day, the early 90's, I vaguely remember having some Micro Machines. These small toy vehicles you could buy packs of. This memory came back to me at random and I started looking on E-Bay to see what was out there. It's wild but I have to speed thi...
You Call That An Army?
It's been a slow rolling process but my retro ork collection has grown. This all started during Orktober 2022 and now I find myself craving more of these classic models. I'm trying to keep it under control, only painting one at a time and not buying another until the rest are painted. There ...
WIP Garden Gates
We have such beautiful things to show you...Something new for both me and my Student, Francis. It's been coming along slowly as we meet once a month but it's getting close. A bit of a struggle a points but each obstacle was overcome. Similar to the Imperial Guard diorama I'm working on, ...

Finished, Forge of the Gods!
A real beauty from Mindwork Studios. This was painted up during some private lessons and the finishing touches added a little later. It serves as a good example of controlling the volume of shadow. I have mixed feelings about the base, I don't mind it but also wonder what it would change if I ha...
Imperial Guard Diorama Update
I'm still pondering a good title for this one. Into the fire, into the jaws, for victory, I have a concept in mind. Something that makes you think and forget you're being ambushed. But that deadline doesn't come until the last day!It's been a good run, all the painting has been done ...
Complete Process: Merlin
Hails and cheers, chromatic traveler. Here lies in digital record, the creation of the great wizard Merlin. I was aiming to create a video on ambient light but also a certain effect that's been on my mind. This was the first attempt at these types of reflections and I'm happy with the result...
Finished, Beach Babe Libby!
This was a cute project I've had sitting half finished for years, about 8 if I can remember correctly... It's a fun figure from Hasslefree Miniatures, who make a wide variety of pewter characters. I added the antennas myself, it was made some time ago but there was some kind of metaphor in t...
Dude, Merlin!
Recently I went for deep dive in my hall of potential, the one in the basement. My stores runneth over, the sign of a prosperous house. I was down there looking for some older Ork sculpts from the early days, more on that later.While I was digging, I came across this sculpt from Nocturna Models and ...
April Scrying Pool
A big thank you to everyone who joined in last Saturday! Things were off to a bumpy start, I expected that, but above is the video with the bumpy start cut out. This was a fun time! We'll be doing it again on Saturday, June 3rd, at 12:00pm. I'll have a new event scheduled soon. The goal is t...
