Best Airbrush For Miniatures – Unboxing the Badger Patriot 105

by 1 Comment

I recently decided that I wanted to learn how to use an airbrush for painting my miniatures so I started doing some research on the best airbrush to get as a beginner and pretty much everyone recommended the Badger Patriot 105 as an all-around great starter brush.

I ended up picking one up at an art supply store locally, and today I did a quick unboxing video to show you guys what’s inside the box.

Check it out here:

What do you think?

Have you used an airbrush before?

What are your thoughts on the Badger 105?

Age of Sigmar Prosecutors – Painting Pics

by Leave a Comment

I haven’t had a lot of time to do any more painting since the painting party I had last weekend, but I did want to post a few more pictures of my Sigmar Prosecutors at the current stage of their paint progress.

Sigmar Prosecutor Sigmar ProsecutorThe first picture caught the top part of the miniature in better focus, and the second one caught the base in better focus.

I still have yet to do some dry-brushing / highlighting on the base but besides that what do you guys think of the model so far?

Sigmar Prosecutor Sigmar ProsecutorThese next two pictures show the second Prosecutor and then both of the together, side by side.

The two small “boulders” on the base are actually just two small pieces of gravel from my front driveway.

I put them there because I think they look good, but also because the weight of the gravel rocks weighs down the base of these miniatures so that they don’t fall over so easily since they’re so tall and they have that wide wingspan.

Once I put the gravel rock there, they don’t fall over as easily anymore.

I wasn’t sure whether I wanted to go with the gold / red color scheme, or if I should go with gold / blue like they’re show on the GW website, but I think I’m going to stick to the red.

What do you guys think?

First Ever TabletopGamer Painting Party

by 1 Comment

Today we held our very first ever TabletopGamer painting party at my place.

My nephew Kamil, my brother Bart from BartsWorkshop.com, and my friend Jabeel from BlueLionStudios.com joined me for a day of building and painting our Warhammer 40k / Age of Sigmar miniatures.

My newphew Kamil was painting his Dark Angels, my brother Bart was painting some Tyranids, my friend Jabeel was building first Warhammer 40k set of Ultramarines.

For this session I decided to start painting my Age of Sigmar Prosecutors.

Here are some pics I took during the painting session of my Prosecutor in progress.

I was thinking that I might save the third one for a painting video I record instead.

What do you guys think?

I’m still working on getting the first two completed, but they’re about 90% done now.

I honestly wasn’t too sure about the whole “gold” thing when I got the Age of Sigmar set, but when I painted these two miniatures I REALLY liked how the gold turned out.

The pictures don’t do it justice at all.

The gold looks way better in real life.

What do you guys think so far?

Age of Sigmar Prosecutors Assembly – Part 2

by 2 Comments

In today’s video I assembled the last two Prosecutors from the Age of Sigmar Starter set.

The first Prosecutor I assembled was posed differently from these two.

These two were posed very similarly to each other, so I changed the positioning of one of the hammers as shown in the manual to add some variety in the look.

These are my favorite looking models in the starter set, and I can’t wait to get started on painting them!

What do you think of these?
