The first entry to my new tutorial section is up. How to make icicles This is actually a revision of the same tutorial that I did in 2004. I hope you find it useful.
Welcome to the Artisan's Edge. My corner of the web where I showcase my meager miniature painting skills and whatever else I have going on in my life. I hope you find it interesting enough to stick around.

For the first time in nearly 6 years I've managed to finish a playable Warhammer 40k force. Whoo! It's only about 1200 points with a few upgrades so it's still a work in progress. My goal is to add another 800 points for a complete 2000 point list. I'll have the remaining units on display in the 40k section of the gallery shortly. Now to find and opponent. Who wants some?
What I'm up to at the moment

Two updates in one week. Imagine that.
I've done both of these models before and I wanted to give them another shot. The Vanguard actually came out better than planned. I've been experimenting with different techniques for simulating battle damage effects on large flat surfaces. This is a combination of airbrushing and various washes over a metallic base. I plan on doing more like this. The Nomad is nothing special other than a different colour scheme. I should have tried out the battle damage on this one too. Next time...

Once again I'm way overdue for an update. I guess I've just been caught up in lifes everyday bullshit. Par for the course I suppose.
So I have a couple of new Warmachine models to share. High Paladin Vilmon of Menoth and A Cygnar Stormclad.

A Pestigor Champion for Warhammer Fantasy. I have no idea why I decided to paint this. I like it though. Maybe I'll paint a few more?

I've been dying to paint a Warpwolf in in grey as opposed to the usual brown. I think it works.

I can't remember if I've posted these yet. I really never thought I would get into the Cygnar models like I did. They just didn't inspire me like a Khador Warjack does. Glad I got over it and tried them out. The blue on the Ironclad comes of a little bit underwhelming to me but the yellow balances it nicely.

Yes another site redesign albeit a very small one. I got sick of messing around with Dreamweaver. Too many annoying quirks and you really need to have a little bit of code skill to make it work the way you want it too. I'm an old dog with no time to learn new tricks. A friend recommended That I try out Namo Web Editor. Finally a true WYSIWYG web site designer for the non code guy. It's not perfect but you can't beat the price.
The past few months have been busy. Balancing fatherhood and work is challenging but worth it of course. My Grandmother also passed away recently so I haven't been that active on the paint table. What I have done has been largely for my own display cabinet as opposed to commission work. I'll post more as I go along.
