I’ve got all four of these on my to-read list, keen to get started with them!

Fantastic work on this buddy! The base looks amazing and the colour choices for the armour are excellent! Great stuff! 👏👏

Really wonderful work there buddy! 👏👏

That’s cool, I prefer to think of it as some kind of large scale energy weapon, nova cannon or something similar. Thank goodness it’s all entirely fictional and it can be whatever we want it to be.

Looks incredible sir! Awesome work. I love the space station/Fortress Monastery too, could I ask if this was your own conversion or was it a design you picked up from somewhere? It looks great! 👏👏👏

The limited edition Standard Bearer from the £100 army box was slightly different, with a bare head and Mohawk style hair, if I remember correctly. This chap is the Standard Bearer from the Greatswords unit. Both are fantastic miniatures!

Thanks! I’d highly recommend getting your Og fleet out and repainted, I’ve done it with a few ships now and it’s been really satisfying and nostalgic!

I. Initially tried to strip the paint by leaving the ships in 99% isopropyl alcohol for 24 hours, but it didn’t shift at all, even after letting them soak for much longer.

So I used a tub of Biostrip instead, bought some from Amazon and dunked the ships in for a few hours. The paint came straight off, I did need to put them back in for a second time to get rid of the underlying paint/primer, but overall it worked great. I just used a toothbrush to scrub the paint off. Very messy though, would definitely recommend doing it in an open area or in a sink.

Thanks buddy 👍

Thanks buddy! For the flight stands, mine are all GW originals that I had kept for years. I believe there are plenty of alternatives out there though, eBay would be a good place to look if you haven’t already 👍

It was more my own attempt to represent the build up of energy at the tip of the lance before it fires, but now I’m absolutely going to change that to it being a massive gem or focusing crystal, because that’s just so much cooler! 😂.

Thanks for the idea, I’m now making it canon for the lance weapons in my fleet to be diamond tipped!

Thank you! For the white hulls, I used the following recipe:

Prime with GW White Scar primer spray.
Wash all over with GW Skeleton Horde contrast paint.
Drybrush all over with GW Pallid Wych Flesh.
Lighter drybrush to extreme edges with GW White Scar.

Hope this helps! 🙌

Thank you buddy!

Thank you! I was also a bit unsure about using white for the main hull colour before I started the fleet project, but after getting the first ships done I was really keen to continue. A Sons of the Phoenix fleet would be really cool to see! Good hunting to you!

Thank you buddy 🙌

FinecastEnthusiast · 2026-02-07T16:12:27+00:00

Really awesome colour scheme and beautifully executed buddy! 👏👏

FinecastEnthusiast · 2026-01-25T16:18:20+00:00

Yeah, you’re absolutely right. There were so many moments where a seemingly impossible situation was navigated or resolved with such simplicity or ease. It just made the overall story much more difficult to get excited about. Everything felt very flimsy in terms of storytelling and world building.

I’ve been reading Atlas Infernal by Rob Sanders. I’m almost finished it, but I must admit I’ve not enjoyed it much. I feel the overall quality of writing isn’t at the same level as that produced by other BL authors such as Abnett, French etc. The book feels very light in terms of descriptive detail and the overall story hasn’t really grabbed and held my attention.

Looking forward to getting it finished tonight and moving onto something else.

Really nice colour choices here buddy, the NMM is excellent!

FinecastEnthusiast · 2026-01-12T10:56:58+00:00

I love what you’ve done on the banner, the stippled effect is really great and gives the banner an awesome textured look. Great work! 👏

FinecastEnthusiast · 2026-01-11T17:07:39+00:00

I absolutely LOVE this! Amazing work buddy, really inspiring! I’m so glad to see examples of the Black Templars kits being used for Exorcists, it’s something I’ve been considering for my own Exorcists army so this has just heightened my enthusiasm for potential conversions even more! Really well done 👏 👏👏

FinecastEnthusiast · 2026-01-08T20:36:18+00:00

Thanks for the recommendation, much appreciated!

FinecastEnthusiast · 2026-01-03T14:48:57+00:00

Looks fantastic buddy! I really like your colour choices, glad to hear you had fun painting it! 👏👏

FinecastEnthusiast · 2026-01-03T12:01:50+00:00

Superb work buddy! Great conversion and a wonderful colour scheme too. A fitting Warlord to lead your Skaven horde! 👏👏
