Meet the eighteen primarchs
A beginner's introduction to the Emperor's sons: a short piece on each of the eighteen we are allowed to know about, in legion order, gaps included.
Notes
Loose thoughts, podcast recommendations and hobby chat about miniatures, paint and everything around the table.
Miniature scale, and why nobody will tell you what it is
28mm, 32mm, heroic, true scale. I went looking for an authority on what those mean and found hobby blogs quoting each other. That absence is the honest answer.
What Contrast paints changed
One coat, done, skip the hard part. What Games Workshop actually claims for Contrast is narrower than its reputation, and more interesting.
Where Warhammer came from
Games Workshop's own timeline says it was founded in 1975. Warhammer arrives in 1983 and 40,000 in 1987, which makes the company a shop for eight years first.
Why plastic looks like plastic
A plastic miniature is shaped by having to get out of a steel mould, and that one constraint explains more about your models than the concept art does.
