So stop discarding your mangled brushes and get to cleaning! You will need the following: Start by filling a cup…

“Hard days are the best because that’s when Champions are made.” -Gabby Douglas

Winning. Coded from birth, our instinct motivation compels us to achieve. “Wanting a reward is closely tied with the activity of mesolimbic dopaminergic neurons, particularly within the ventral striatum and ventromedial prefrontal cortex”-Berkman, 2018. Why is this important? When you win, your brain rewards you with dopamine. Using the dopaminergic reward system, your brain then…

Bubblegum’s Tenacious Journey Comes to an End

As Bubblegum makes its first debut into the world of Warhammer, a sense of what only a parent could describe as pride overwhelms my feelings of fear; for this was only the 5th model conceived in the world of competitive painting.

Just a Rock

Our condo had been using this rock as a doorstop FOREVER, and I finally got around to painting it. Honestly I’m surprised how long it’s held up.

What kind of woman would I be if I said I didn’t love death ponies? This kit was ridiculously fun to build. However, it wouldn’t be a GW model if there weren’t discrepancies in the directions. Surprisingly though, it was minor. On the second model on 4g, you will need 2 main spikes labeled “75”…

Ermahgerd it Armigers!

Yes, I do pronounce it Ermahgerd and it’s ridiculously funny. A few notes while assembling these “FUN” models. Thankfully this one made a full recovery and is quickly on it’s way to my fiance’s chaos army.

Who Ordered the Chaos Rhino?

Surprisingly when I assembled this, GW didn’t make any mistakes as far as the manual was concerned. However, older models, because they were sculpted by hand, will need sprue-goo to create that seamless look. You can find a sprue-goo tutorial below. Happy building!

Sponging My New Tank

Ever feel intimidated about painting your Warhammer pieces? Or painting in general? Try sponging! I came across an inspiring tutorial that made my anxieties about painting my armies go away after scrolling aimlessly on TikTok. AnotherDayMinatures does phenomenal painting tutorials. I didn’t have the same materials shown in the video so I substituted the colors…
