Njal Stormcaller – The storm lord of Fenris

Today I bring you a very special miniature: Njal Stormcaller, the most powerful Runelord of the Space Wolves. A figure full of history in the lore of Warhammer 40.000 and now comes with a spectacular redesign.

I want to start by thanking Games Workshop for sending me this miniature before its release. It has been a real pleasure to be able to paint it with time and love to share it with you.

A tribute to Fenris

From the first glance, this new version of Njal imposes. His solemn pose, the staff crowned by an animal skull, the raven flying over his shoulder, the cape in the wind… everything conveys the runic power and the wild connection with the elements that define him.

I wanted to respect his classic aesthetics, but enhancing some contrasts to reinforce his presence. The intense blue of the armor combines with warm tones in the face, beard and golden details, while the purple of the cape adds an unexpected counterpoint, giving it a mystical and noble air.

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!

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).

Lets start!
