A Christmas is not Christmas without Da Red Gobbo

This year I want to show you a very special miniature! This is Da Red Gobbo’s A-Bomb-Inable Snowman, the latest Warhammer Christmas miniature. First of all, thanks a lot to Games Workshop for sending it to me before its release. It has been a pleasure to paint it and to share my version with all of you.

Since I saw it for the first time, I knew I wanted to give it a unique touch. To do so, I got to work and sculpted some Christmas presents with green putty, which I spread around the base to give it a more festive look. And, of course, I also changed the head of one of the grots for a helmet of a Bloody Angel, I had to add a touch of humor!

The snow was also important to make everything look round. I used the AMMO Winterizer set, which was great to get that realistic effect on the ground and the snow monster. I think it looks great with the bright colors of the gifts and the red details of the Gobbo.

This miniature has an incredible personality and, above all, a lot of fun, perfect for the Warhammer Christmas spirit. Between Da Red Gobbo’s defiant pose, the snow monster with the unfriendly face and the custom details, I’ve tried to tell a little story full of humor and action.

Happy holidays and may the paint be with you this winter!

Freak Wars 2024 is coming!

Freak Wars is coming! On September 7 and 8 is celebrated one of the biggest events of Wargames, board games, modeling, painting and cosplay, which year after year brings together more and more attendees and brands.

This year, just back from vacation, I will be able to attend this annual event. It will be an incredible opportunity to enjoy the great atmosphere, participate in activities, and of course, meet again with friends passionate about the world of modeling and painting miniatures.

I’ll be bringing some personalised gifts, like these personalised dice from Baron of Dice that you can see below, among other things. So if you see me there, come over and say hello to me for a chat! You’ll get a little present for sure 🙂

It is also a perfect opportunity to get to know and try first-hand products, tools and paints from your favorite brands, as this year there will be a multitude of stands. If you want to know all the stands and brands that will attend, you can see it in the following link.

And attention! This year it will be held in a different location (La Nave), so the distribution will also be different from previous years. Here are the plans where you can find all the information you need.

Here you can see all the media and streamers that we will be attending the event:

How to paint the armor of a Salamander Space Marine Leviathan Dreadnought

Welcome to a new Warhammer 40k tutorial! As many of you know, I’m a real Warhammer 40K fan and one of my favourite factions are the Space Marines. Although I paint Marines from all chapters, the Salamanders, alongside the Space Wolves, are my favourite chapters.

I hadn’t painted a Leviathan Dreadnought to date, so when I saw the spectacular bits released by LiberDaemonica, I couldn’t resist customising the Games Workshop plastic kit and painting a Leviathan of the XVIII Legion.

Before I begin, I would like to tell you that the complete tutorial on how I painted this Dreadnought can be found in the new issue of Fantasy Figures international magazine (issue 24).
