~TATTOOS & WARPAINT~

Drung Eddpunch was a simple gargant with simple ambitions: a left hook as crushing as a draconith’s jaws, and quicker than a cut grot.
When he heard of a mage who could carve spells into flesh, he hauled a sack of looted treasure across leagues to find them. At last, he stood before the reclusive sorcerer and made his wish plain. He wanted the deadliest punch in The Mortal Realms.
The ritual was long, slow, and searing. Drung bit his tongue and hissed curses as swirling ink was burned into his brow and cheek, each line pulsing with savage power.
At last, it was done.
Drung clenched his fist, feeling a wave of pulsing heat radiate from his temple down to his knuckles. He grinned.

Pop into Warhammer Hobart to pick out a section of gargant skin (or bring your own model) and design your own freehanded masterpiece! We'll give you tips for creating a striking design and freehanding it on cleanly, plus some tips for finishing up your piece with skin tones, hair and veins.
Drop in anytime to give it a try solo, or let us know if you want to join a larger group in one of our scheduled Sunday sessions!
Sunday group sessions start at 2pm, and bookings are essential. Please message us or call 6231 8471 to secure your spot!

It's just a couple of days until we kick off April's Painting Challenge!

As always, the first option is to simply paint up your free mini of the month however you please! Starting Saturday, we have stacks of Cryptguard to give away - why not stick around to add some colour while you're here?

Our special effects challenge this month is ✨Let it Glow✨ where we celebrate all things that can light up our grimdark settings. Whether you're already an OSL legend, or you're wondering what OSL even stands for*, this category is a great way to practise lighting effects and bring extra life to your minis!

Are you a beginner and keen to show off your latest Warhammer creation? Our Battle Honours category is for you! No rules, no themes, just bring in whatever you've finished painting lately and we'll display it with pride!

All entries can be displayed in the window until our next Painting Challenge starts! Message, call 6231 8471 or pop into the shop for more info!

*OSL stands for Object Source Lighting! You can learn heaps about it by joining in on our free ~Infernal Glow~ painting workshop.

~ INFERNAL GLOW ~
A very peculiar band of Chaos Space Marines have made their home in the shop...

The Hexbound Crucible are a warband who invoke each of the Chaos Gods - not to bless themselves, but to bind those dark gifts within their wargear upon the Anvil of Damnation.
Some warriors imbue their helms with the power of Tzeentch, granting twisted foresight. Others anoint their weapons with the rage of Khorne, drawing ever more blood from their foes. This infernal power burns from within the affected gear and casts each marine in their own unholy light.

Come into the store to anoint your own member of the Hexbound Crucible! This ritual will teach you the basics of glow effects and object source lighting, while letting you craft a story by choosing which wargear is to be hallowed, and by which god.
Drop in anytime to give it a try, or let us know if you want to join a larger group in one of our scheduled sessions! We can seat up to 6 painters per session.

Starting next week, we’ll be running scheduled sessions every Sunday at 2pm. Although this is a completely free workshop, bookings are essential. Please message us or call 6231 8471 to secure your spot!
