I must have spent hours poring over what was available trying to decide on what to start with, and I remember very clearly that what I settled on in the end was a 15mm Crusader tank in resin and white metal, and a box of Cadian Imperial Guardsmen. My current project is working my way through the Horus Heresy Legions making videos of how I would paint them in my style.Ĭourtesy Spen’s Painting Sonic Sledgehammer:įor my tenth birthday, my grandfather – perhaps unwisely – went and bought some gift vouchers for the comic book and games store near to me which stocked a pretty wild range of miniatures. For a while now I’ve also been working on making tutorials for the things I paint (which is a whole other hobby in itself). I quickly fell in love with it and wanted to progress, and try different techniques, and eventually ended up at where I am now with my grimy, grimdark painting style. After following some amazing artists on Instagram I decided that I would give miniature painting a go. Fast forward to early 2020, just before the COVID-19 lockdowns, and I found myself wanting to try a new hobby. When I was kid I had a few models and issues of White Dwarf but never really got into the hobby. How did you get started as a miniatures painter? Spen’s Painting: You can follow him on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and his commission painting service. As a commission painter, he shows off some of the big stuff that he’s worked on in Horus Heresy (including Primarchs) and also has great how-to painting videos that are accessible and high quality. Rob is almost entirely devoted to Horus Heresy content on his YouTube channel, and he’s not afraid to branch out from the Space Marines and give us a good tank or dreadnought. You can follow him on Twitter, Twitch, Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook. He’s not afraid to put Nuln Oil over a white basecoat. He, like Sonic, makes the painting of the miniatures very accessible, but he spends extra time making sure that the Horus Heresy models are very weathered. He wins points in my book because he doesn’t use an airbrush (I don’t have one, so those videos don’t help me). Mediocre Hobbies has been working his way through hobbying the Horus Heresy Legions as well. You can check out his Twitter and YouTube channel. Not a strict Games Workshop man, you can often find him painting historicals or mad 3D prints. ( You can read my interview with him here.) Sonic Sledgehammer paints in a way that I can really get behind: it’s accessible for the newbie, but sometimes he’ll push it a little further to get you to stretch your muscles. I’ve known Troy (or known about Troy) for probably four years, but it wasn’t until about a year ago that we started corresponding. You can check out his Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube channel. He is taking all of the 18 Legions of the Space Marines and painting them in a grimdark style that is heavy on the streaking grime, mud, and barbed wire. I first became familiar with Spen’s Painting when he showed off some truly remarkable Horus Heresy models on Twitter.

The Painters Spencer from Spen’s Painting But all of them paint amazingly, and they all have skills to show off. Some of them are deep into the game and some are just getting started. Today we gather together four miniature painters who have all be painting Horus Heresy models as of late. We may earn money or products from the companies mentioned in this post.
