Painting demos were mostly done by our bearded warlock Dark Ages Workshop.

We've made a Death Guard scene taking inspiration from a formidable piece of art. Experience the Plague Marines like never before - this is our take for a basic to intermediate Death Guard scheme in the grimdark painting style, where the kitbash, shapes and form are definitely huge part of the charm.
Painted in acrylics, Villainy Ink enamel washes, and Dirty Down Rust.
What do you think of this take on grimdark Death Guard?

A blend of two worlds - my love for the irrational chaotic Blanchitsu mentality and feel, and the technical nuances of the Grimdark Compendium style. The look was indeed inspired by Immortan Joe. Check out how I did it!

BROTHERS!!! Welcome to the Villainy Ink Founders Campaign! Today is the day we set in motion the realization of a dream I have had for many years! Having been a miniature painter working in the grimdark style for a decade now, I am well-versed in your needs. It is my promise now and until my ending that Villainy Ink enamels, and future products, will be hand-crafted by miniature artists, for miniature artists.
I find myself here, with this campaign, simply because the white-label industry cannot do this task. After extensive research and effort, I found that large manufacturing companies cannot efficiently produce these types of products for brands like mine. Therefore, I will do this with my own blood, sweat, and tears. As stated, the Villainy Ink Enamel line will be hand-crafted by yours truly, and thus, I will need massive support from the community to see this through. There are several steps that will need to be taken in order to prepare my small 600 sqft studio for the addition of the equipment that is required for such a job on such a scale. Small to mid-scale Vat Mixers, Bottle Fillers, Label Makers, and Labeling Machines will be needed to work as my servitors, constantly tolling away per my bidding. Not only this, but a massive amount of product will need to be procured over the course of the first few batch cycles. This will insure that I am able to keep stock flowing into the community and brick-and-mortar stores that stock my products.

This deep dive into Games Workshop's low-fantasy, tabletop skirmish game, developed in 1999, known for its darker tones and medieval apocalyptic atmosphere, will cover every aspect of the game. From art analysis, insights into the grimdark aspects, terrain/MDF treatments, and immersive gaming tips, to painting tutorials for every war band, this series will leave you with a deep knowledge of all things Mordheim!
In this intro video, I explain everything you can expect to learn from this 12-episode series, which will get you ready for what's to come, and explain why Mordheim is such a fantastic game that is lately attracting more and more players and modelers, and how it survived so many years while still being iconic and unique.

Guys, the last few months have been a very hard pill to swallow. A new freelance web developer came in and nearly destroyed everything I've built and may have tarnished my credibility. This has been a tough lesson for me. Without the years of support of this community I would've just walked away.

In this tutorial we are going to be working on a design for a basing project I have coming up. I ALWAYS design my basing schemes as a first step to any miniature project that will have multiple figures displayed in the same environment. As you will see in this video, I create my designs on a larger platform and then when it comes time to make bases for my armies, I have a small "terrain/environment template" to work from!
