Contemptor Kevin’s Road to the 2024 Grand Narrative, Part 1 – The Road to Kessandras

In 2022, Games Workshop began the annual “Grand Narrative”, where six narrative games would be played out over a three day period.  This was beyond that of a mere Grand Tournament - the idea is that it is is *also* supposed to be an immersive experience and live action LARP while also playing toy soldiers.   In 2022, I went to the Szabyrne (New Mexico) Grand Narrative not to play six narrative games, but because they were offering a Titan painting class.  We spent 48 hours painting our Titans to parade-ready...

How to Paint Everything: Marvel Crisis Protocol – Apocalypse

The First One, En Sabah Nur, The Eternal One, the subject of today's How to Paint Everything: Marvel: Crisis Protocol goes by many names but is best known as the Supervillain, Apocalypse. Apocalypse has grown into an adversary of mythical proportions, since his first appearance in X-Factor #5, even remaking the Marvel comic universe in his image during the Age of Apocalypse story arc. As a major fan of the 90s X-Men cartoon, I decided to go with a blue and purple color scheme on Apocalypse. I also wanted to go with a flat color scheme with some classic edge...
