Black Library do such lovely work with these limited edition hardcovers and itโs really exciting to see my first in the wild. Abraxia: Spear of the Everchosen is up for preorder next Saturday!

The arrest of otherwise peaceful protesters is a violation of the UKโs international obligations to protect the rights of freedom of expression and assembly.

Completely cracked. Pensioners and people quietly holding signs arrested for terrorism. Completely spineless.
Seem to remember a very different result to the Far Right riots earlier in the year.
A photo from the game Scrandle where players have to vote on which food item got more people saying it was scran, than not. On the left is a piece of bread with a suggestion of cheese named "Cheese Panini" on the right "Sausage and Bread", which is correctly attributed to a lonely slice of bread with forlorn sausage next to it.
Scrandle may be the finest game that exists on the world wide web.

Somehow the ""cheese" "panini"" won against an actual panini with cheese in i t later. The people have no taste.

08.08.2025 08:46 โ ๐ 316 ๐ 164 ๐ฌ 2 ๐ 4Yeah, the 50/50 Yriel/Skrag and Macragge/Calgar bottles are common.
Andy from the WH+ army and battlefield team has dozens of custom mixes on his desk for speed painting too. Pre-thinned Rhinox!
It was quite common back in the day for Forge World painters who weren't on the 'Eavy Metal team to use those paints, but these days it's nearly all Citadel - but the Archive does suggest a few alternatives that might be useful in terms of consistency/quality.
08.08.2025 08:48 โ ๐ 2 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0I think it's a very interesting topic and I would also love to see a wider array of recipes more easily accessible.
I think with the EM team being much bigger now (but still incredibly busy) it's a bit different to the days of Mike McVey or Darren L and Tom W listing off recipes.
It is helpful for that yep, but I think they can be as restrictive as the can be helpful if all you take away is a list of paints. Youโre an artistic guy whoโs done lots of fantasist stuff outside of miniature painting so I imagine you sidestep that a little!
08.08.2025 08:22 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0which is why articles and videos they cover them tend to be long, cos the though process behind it all is as important as the final recipes.
Hereโs one I did for Ushoran a few years ago:
www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articl...
A colour, glazed down twice, highlighted up a few times - perhaps with some glazing - with mixed that desaturate/warm/cool the final tone for colour theory reasons, and rendered to match the materiel. Simply following the steps without the theory is skipping a lotโฆ
08.08.2025 08:19 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Also as someone who spends a lot of time hanging out in the Infernal Brush discord a common thread is people asking for recipes before trying their own or applying a recipe from another mini - itโs a bit like cooking in that for the pro chefs theyโre guidelines based on principlesโฆ
08.08.2025 08:15 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 2 ๐ 0Using wholesale other brands here and there a lot would probably cause issues with finish and if youโve seen EM stuff in person they always have a remarkably consistent finish despite rarely being varnished (for photography reasons)
08.08.2025 08:09 โ ๐ 2 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Having spoken to the team many times, theyโre mixing lots of Citadel - stuff like the deepkin flesh and death guard green paints were based on mixes they developed in-house for those ranges, for example.
Infernal Brush used Citadel, but sometimes with his own preferences mixed in here and there.
I didnโt see the second post at time to response! ๐
I imagine itโs largely down to time. Interviews, articles and videos that cover this stuff adequately take a long time, for a small audience, but theyโre clearly getting more popular so maybe it will be expanded upon one day.
The YouTube channel is just aimed at a lower level, because most people donโt want to do the endless mixing and glazing required, and EM recipes only get you so far unless you can replicate the brush control and principals behind them. Which is what CCM is for on WH+.
