#Orcs and Goblins

The power of purple

What's up? I'm back. I'm still alive. I missed a couple of days of uploads. Uh I have I've got the hobby streak alive. So, the hobby streak is still going, but…

Currently on the work bench

Mail day and what’s coming next

What's up? Quick one tonight. Uh things are returning back to normal. Tomorrow I'll be back on the channel. But uh my first order, they sent me the stuff I was…

Orc bases and flesh

Another easy way to paint faces

Yesterday's face was underpaint and glaze. Today's face is Sunny Skin Tone, one Army Painter Dark Tone wash, and a couple of dots for eyes — about ten minutes start to finish.

How to speed paint faces

Speed-painting an uncanny vampire face for tabletop: Sunny Skin Tone sketched over a Bad Bruise undertone, one watered-down glaze to blend it together, and dot eyes for the creepy stare.

I can paint and ramble again.

Back from a long illness and back behind the brush. Where the Infinity commission stands, why airbrushing single models isn't worth it, and the math that makes paint commissions barely worth doing.

No making the same mistakes as I usually do

Found two Death Watch sprues and an Imperial Agents Combat Patrol in the pile — laying down ground rules for coming back to 40k for 11th edition without falling into the same FOMO traps as last time.

Mail day

Old Mage Knight metal activation tokens finally landed for $5 — opening up the box and figuring out what to do with them.

Infernal diaries two - quick channel update.

Career changes pulled all my game days, so the Pillage and Midgard projects are officially shelved — letting go of trying to play and refocusing on painting and solo games.

Painting some infinity models

Crunch week on the Infinity commission — building, priming, and base-coating the whole force in a day. Airbrush over zenithal for the alien centerpiece, then a hard pivot to contrast paints for the troopers.

Wtf is a rectifier.

Cracking open a dead heat gun to figure out what fried — turns out it was the rectifier. A small electronics autopsy instead of a painting night.

GW got me again

Breaking a three-year no-new-GW streak at my old local store, plus why the daily hobby vlog is winding down so I can start building 40k my way for 11th edition.

Highlighting black

Glazing up from Tenebris Gray to pearl gray for the dark panels — plus a sink ripping off the wall, another bout of sickness, and thoughts on a new Army Painter wet palette.

Kal Arath Live Play Session 1

A full solo RPG session in Kal Arath — rolling up Garen Vosque, a decommissioned soldier stranded in the desert, and stumbling into a wrecked battle barge and a very profane giant praying mantis.

My minimal solo rpg kit

Trying something new today. I think I found my perfect lightweight solo RPG system. I haven't actually played a game of Krath. I've read the rule book front to…

Highlighting red

Another quick one tonight. Uh, vermilion. This was our our airbrushed highlight. The highest point. Got a paper towel here. Not going to use it palette. I'm…

NMM Blue Steel Scales and an Existential Crisis

Painting non-metallic blue steel scales with Scale Color Artist paints while having a late-night breakdown about the hobby, commissions, and what I'm even doing.

Using Speed Paints as a Wash

The better red wash solution—mixing Slaughter Red speed paint with Army Painter Quick Shade medium gives deeper detail pickout without killing vibrance.

How to Wash Bright Red

Don't wash red with black. Using Army Painter mid brown quick shade to bring out details on bright red Dusk armor without killing the vibrance.

A complete guide to solo Warmachine practice—why it works, how to deploy against yourself without cheating, and how to get months of improvement in a week.

Infernal Diaries Day 1

Starting the Infernals journey—basing a fresh 3D-printed army, building a 30-point learning list with Agathon, and figuring out essence management.

How to Paint White Robes

Painting white cloth over a purple and red base coat using buff and vanilla white glazes—fast results for infantry-level models.

How to Start Commission Painting and Why You Maybe Shouldn't

Real talk on getting into commission painting—how to find clients, how to price your work, and why turning your hobby into a business might not be what you think.
