Four guides we point every beginner to first — which paints to buy, how to use them, and how to learn the games we stock.

We sell a few great things. Not everything.

Most hobby shops stock it all and leave you to figure it out. We use what we sell, we say no to most of it, and we tell you where to start.

Customer photo review of Battle Pigs Faction Set - Plastic

Brand new plastic Battle Pigs faction set comes with 40 pages booklet and 10 cards. Plastic sprue is top notch quality - mould lines are virtually non-existent and pieces fit together really good. You can build 5 Battle Pigs and there are alternative build options. I recommend buying two to get most of the kit :) Being a plastic kit you can also easily convert your miniatures to create a unique warband.

Customer photo review of 4D Glasses Turboshift Acrylic Paint

Haven’t practised much with it but it is awesome, doing one layer was enough to get something interesting, however I noticed if layering and catching recesses makes them go very clear by accumulation, but this is me being silly and just slapping the paint over all surfaces. The color shifting is phenomenal though.

Customer video review of Battlesmith Rider with Ibex Mount

This is a charming, and excellent quality sculpt. The pose is dynamic but not crazy. The mini is simple, but also easy to customise, and has just the right amount of detail to be easy to paint but not be boring. Like most of the Relic Blade minis, absolute 10/10 on striking the balance between creativity and utility. - Very clean cast, really good quality, not much cleanup required; - Very little assembly required, the mini is made of 3 parts: the Ibex, the battlesmith (with saddle as part of the rider), and the head of the battlesmith, so you can swap for a different head if you want to kitbash; - Mount and rider are completely separate, so you can truly pick and mix, or magnetise with a bit if putty work so you can change between games; - The Ibex is completely sculpted, even where it will be obscured by the saddle, so you can keep it as a separate animal if you need/want to; The mounted battlesmith is a great addition to your Advocate warband, a sturdy dwarf on a fast mount. Great synergy in the mount knocking back the target enemy, and the weapon having the reach to hit anyway, forcing the enemy to waste actions re-engaging if they want to fight. Also a good piece to keep enemy away from objectives, or to stop mobbing other characters.

Customer video review of Paragon: Illika the Second Sister

Amazing sculpt and a joy to paint! The metal material put me off at first but it's a single piece and if you clean it before priming it's all good. Would recommend

Customer photo review of Moldorf Expedition Faction Set

Fun models to paint as always, although there was some aggressive flash that took a while to clean up on the shadowfoot.

A single piece miniature. Very well balanced. Even though it is quite high, it's not wobbly.

A lovely one-piece miniature. Many interesting details, but not too much.

Customer photo review of Every Turbo Dork Paint They Make

Very easy to order and Chris was a pleasure to deal with. The paint range is fantastic and by far the best dropper bottles I've ever had. Everything was packaged brilliantly and arrived safely and promptly. Would recommend these, co.pany and paints, to everyone

Customer photo review of Crystal Cavern Colorshift Acrylic Paint

Excellent paint, takes a little getting used to on a brush and definitely requires thinning. It arrived quickly and was well packaged.

Customer video review of Get Shifty Acrylic Paint Bundle

Absolutely love this paint, you can't go wrong with it as the instructions are written on the side of the bottle. The effects are great, have bought 2 sets of turbodork now and probably will buy more in future. They were dispatched and delivered very quickly and the handwritten note, sticker and magnets were a great personal touch from a great site. 10/10 service and product.

Customer photo review of Black Ice Metallic Acrylic Paint

So far, loving it. While the necessity of needing a dark/black under coat can make it a little tricky in some areas, it makes all the black it touches pop with a brilliant metallic shine that hits just nicely.

Great figures as usual. I did get the same pose for both the little guys but no big deal.

Customer video review of Scarab Turboshift Acrylic Paint

My husband has recently starting wood whittling heads for walking sticks. We wanted a paint that mimicked the natural colourings of a duck, which change depending on the angle you're looking at it from. This is a pretty good match, which we're very pleased with. The dogs are too!

Customer photo review of #08 - Enchanted Blue Oldhammer Classic Retro Acrylic Paint

The way space marines are supposed to look. Perfect. The company was kind enough to write a hand written thank you and I can't tell you how much that meant to me. It's nice to see there is still some humanity in the retail industry. 10/10. Hats off!
