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).
