Hey folks, here comes the next update for my 7-in-1 colour matching document. Based on your feedback I fixed a few wrong colour designations.

Hey folks, V2.1 brings a big update to my Warpaints Fanatic swatch! I added the colours from the new Infinity paint sets, and also rebalanced most colours to improve the accuracy even further. This also accounts for fluctuations in the Warpaints Fanatic range, for example, Pure Red, whose newer b...

Update time! I had to rearrange my production schedule quite a bit, as it seems that AK's new Playmarkers are coming out soon after I got some protoypes at Spiel in Essen in October 2024. For that, I planned a comparison video that is covering all sorts of miniature painting markers (Playmarkers,...

Hey folks, I updated my hand-painted Game Color chart to V1.3.

Last week I worked on assembling a unit of Despoilers for my Sons of Horus. I combined the new MkIII kit with the melee upgrade set and added Sons of Horus Heads and weapons from the Sons of Horus armoury set for extra flavour. Quite complex assembly process, as the assembly guide of the melee se...

The most requested paint range I haven't mapped in a swatch is definitely Scalecolor. Unfortunately, I don't have a contact at Scale 75 yet, so I can't get review samples. But since the 7-in-1 document is selling quite well, I decided to shell out for the complete range on my own. So, a swatch fo...
