All set for Freak Wars 2023!

Freak Wars is coming! On September 16th and 17th, all wargaming and painting lovers have an essential date in Madrid, Spain. We are talking about the largest event in Spain for Wargames, board games, modeling, painting and cosplay, which year after year brings together more and more attendees and brands.

Pintureando could not miss this event, and will be there enjoying the great atmosphere and activities. In addition, this year I will be giving a talk at the AMMO stand (stand B15) on Saturday 16 from 12:30 to 14:00.

We look forward to seeing you there and there will be gifts for everyone!

I’ll be bringing some personalised gifts, like these personalised dice from Baron of Dice that you can see below, among other things.

And if that wasn’t enough, we will be raffling a complete AMMO vehicle weathering set among all those attending the talk.

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 if you get lost with so many booths, here are the plans where you can find all the information you need.

What is clear is that this year, whoever attends will not be bored, as an event has been prepared for the whole family to enjoy all kinds of activities.

If you still don’t have your ticket (I don’t know what you are waiting for :-D), you can buy it online through their website:

How to paint weathering effects easy and fast

Here I show you a quick video about how to paint weathering effects on your miniatures.

This is valid for any armor or vehicle of Warhammer 40.000 or any other wargame.

Here are the steps explained in the video:

1.- Paint the shoulder pad / miniature using the colors you prefer.

2.- Create some chipping, use a sponge or brush and your lightest highlight color. Then use a dark brown color over the previous chips.

3.- Use oil paints to create some streaking effects. I have used AMMO Rust oilbrusher because it makes the process easier, but you can use any oil paint. Apply it and wait 1-2 minutes. After that use white spirit to blur it and its done!

A Warhammer 40k Primaris Repulsor tank has been used for this example, adding some extra bit customizations for Space Wolves from the Spellcrow company.

This tank was published in White Dwarf magazine in December 2020 (# 459) , which was an honor for me.
