Paul’s youngest gave a shot at painting Necrons this past week and we talk about getting started as a new painter. The models in the thumbnail are the ones he did. Check them out! Do you know any new hobbyist getting started soon?
Hey folks,
Please consider grabbing an FTN T-shirt to help us celebrate the shows anniversary. The link can be found here. Proceeds will go to doing something nice for cast members of the show. The sticker is cool too and has been on my laptop for a year. It’s the best sticker I’ve ever owned.

We also started a Patreon for the FTN show. This will help us a lot in the form of being able to hire an editor and a few other things. If it is anywhere within your ability to support us on that platform please consider doing so. The link is right here.

We just sat down with some assembled and primed minis and messed around a bit with Washes a Drubrush and then finished off with a basic edge highlight. He says he had fun. We’ll see if he wants to paint anymore.
I’m pleased to say we have a link for the official Warhammer Merchandise Store! Check out our link here if you plan on picking up something!
