Master Moulder & Chainrasps WIP

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.

Nighthaunt Lord Vitriolic WIP

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.

The weekly update!

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...

Saturnine Dreadnought progress

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!

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.
