Black Legion recruitment...

I'm in the process, as you may or may not know, of making a Black Legion Chaos Marine force. So, how about some WIP shots?

How to Paint Dethskull Orks

A quick word before we start...



A few years back, I tried to start an Ork army...2 mobs of boyz later and I was sick of painting them. I admit, my painting ability wasn't as good as it is now (subjectively speaking), but I was still trying to paint them to the best of my ability. This may be fine when painting a small, elite force like Marines or an Aspect Warrior heavy Eldar force, but with a horde force, you're gonna get bored sooner or later.

So, this tutorial is my attempt at coming up with a quick and simple paint scheme that still looks pretty good on the table top.

Orks and other assorted bad guys...

Hi all,

So, the How to paint Orks tutorial is almost ready, should be going up in the next couple of days. In case any of you were wondering (snigger...), it'll be for Dethskulls. I don't get the chance to paint any blue, so even a tiny bit on this fella makes a nice change for me.

In the mean time, here's a little sneaky peeky at my newest project, my own Black Legion force. This is my newly assembled Chaos Lord and his Chosen retinue...

Word Bearers Tutorial on FTW

Just to let you know, my Word Bearers painting tutorial has been featured on From the Warp. I consider it a huge compliment to see my work on Ron's site.

If you've never checked out FTW, why the smeg not? I've learned so much from there, and so can you. I can see me using so many more of his techniques in the future.

Thanks Ron!

Next Tutorial - Orks

I'm currently working on my second tutorial - How to paint Space Orks. Not decided which klan to go for yet...I like Deffskulls and their blue war paint, but maybe I should go with the ever present Goff klan...decisions, decisions.


Watch this space...ork....

Painting Typhus

For those of you who frequent the B&C forum, you may or may not have seen the start of my Typhus conversion. I had converted him to appear more like the artwork in C:CSM. After a bit of reposing the guardsman (he was a bit stiff...), he was ready to paint.


He's turned out a little messier than I wanted so far. This is my second attempt...The idea was to paint him in the original Deathguard colour scheme of bone-marble white with dark green decoration and then to add weathering. I went a little overboard with the weathering it would seem.

What you are looking at right now is him right after an oil wash, so he still has a fair bit of shine about him and needs a good matte varnish. Hopefully, after the final highlights to the armour and metallics (and guardsman) he will look better.


What do you wish, Master?........

Welcome to Henchman Miniatures, a painting and modelling blog for those who serve those dark entities...WARGAMING COMPANIES!

Ahem...

This blog will serve as a way to watch me as I slap paint on toy soldiers, from things in my own collection, pieces that will be sold on auction sites and commission work that comes my way. I will post all my works in progress, offer tutorials and my own personal tips to anyone who asks (and sometimes even if you don't).

If you want to get in touch about anything, ANYTHING, feel free to drop me an email or message on the forums.

So, thanks for dropping in and enjoy.
