MCP – Painting Guide Update

/ Deathwatch Studios / Leave a comment

It’s been a while since I’ve posted but I’ve finally gotten off my posterior and put together some content. I think we can all agree it’s been a weird year and I’ve been lucky enough to be able to catch up on some painting.

I’m still working away on MCP figures and guides during our strange year, as well as articles for Tabletop Gaming Magazine.

My latest painting guides for the Black Order are up and you can find them below…

I’m working my way through the rest of my collection, up to the X-Men at the moment, and I’ll have guides up for a lot of those soon! Take a look at some of the ones I’ve finished…

Why not also take a look at the latest batch of MCP minies I painted up for a guide in this month’s TTG. It’s a few I’ve already done, but it was interesting to have another crack at them. Next time I’d love to try out some alt colour schemes.
