Hi everyone, Guy here!
A very cool video for you today, a bit more of a traditional video for you this week. I show you how to make your boring old Intercessors a bit more interesting with some easy battle damage tips and customisation tricks.

Not only that, I then show you how to paint really cool, really easy Black Templars!

Yes, this could have been 2 videos, but...

Hmmm. I'm not sure what the "but" is.

Please enjoy this "all in one" useful video! Even if you don't collect Space Marines or play Black Templars, this is packed full of useful modelling and painting tips, so I hope you get a kick out of it anyway.

I'll be away next week, taking the kiddos to Jersey. Quite nervous about travelling with them by myself, so keep your fingers crossed for me!

Lots of love

Guy
