My current project

Welcome to the next instalment from Old Mini Junky. For this I wanted to show you what I am currently working on, which is a squad of Death Skull Ork Nobz. I have never painted Orks before but after seeing a couple of videos on YouTube I was really inspired.

So I have a few photos the first Ork almost painted. In further blogs I will be showing you step by step how I have been painting these guys. I have to say i really enjoyed painting this Ork and really looking forward to finishing the squad (or should i say Skwod?).


All my Nobz we be weilding close combat weapons and be splattered with blood.


I used GW 'Blood for the Blood God' for this effect.


As they are Death Skulls they will all have war paint some where on their body. I wanted to give the war paint a worn out look so you can see their skin underneath in patches.



You can also see that his armour was once all painted blue, but there are only patches of paint left and rust is starting to form in parts of the arnour and weapon. I'm also really happy how the feace turned out.

So my next blog I will show you how I painted his skin and how I got the tattered war paint effect. I would also love any feedback on what you think of this mini.
See you next time

My First Blog

This is my first blog ever!

So I thought I would give you a short introduction into what I will be talking about.


I am in my late 30's and I'm into painting Games Workshop miniatures, Warhammer 40K in the most part. I got back into painting about 5 years ago after not even picking up a paint brush since being a young teenager. I love the escapism its gives me from the real world as I have a rather demanding job.


I have leant a lot in the last few years and have some great feed back on some of the models I have painted. Don't get me wrong, I'm not going to win a golden daemon anytime soon, but I might be able to give you the reader some hints and tips to improve your painting skills.


So in following blogs I will showcase some of the miniatures I have already painted and show you the step by step progress on new projects.


Hope you will follow my blogs and of course leave me comments as to what you think of my work.


See you soon
