Hello and welcome to the Putrid Painting Blog! THE place to get the latest and greatest news on the inner goings on of Putrid Painting!
First off I would like to apologise for the lack of regular updates, it’s been a busy few weeks for myself and Emily and we hope to get back into the usual rhythm soon!
Putrid News
Those of you who follow us on Facebook and Twitter will already know about this but heck there’s no harm in being reminded!
The January supplement for our catalogue is now available to download, this is meant to be read alongside the main catalogue and content in it supersedes the catalogue (prices, products codes, etc).
To get your mouse pointers’ mitts on this add-on simply click the link below to view/download the PDF!
And yes you read that right in the supplement, we at Putrid Painting are NOT raising our Army Painter prices AT ALL! The only thing that will change over the next few days is the RRP, which you don’t pay anyway! Because we don’t believe in unjustified price hikes here at PP!

Death by Die from Kevin Rowland
This latest installment from Kevin of the Tredegar Reavers sees a quick bat rep of 40k, some WIP of some wicked terrain he’s building as well as a sick looking game of X-Wing! be sure to give it a read!
This latest post from Matt is a Battle report of where he takes his glorious Chaos army of Tzeentch and goes up against the mighty Necrons in a 1000 point 40k battle! How does he fair? Read on warmongers!
It’s product review time in the land of JoJoMan! This video sees him give his thoughts on some laser cut terrain from Wargame Model Mods! But what DOES he think of it? Watch to find out!

Welcome back to the Putrid Painting Blog, the ONLY place to get the latest releases and news within the Putrid Painting Network!
We have a good amount to cover this week so I’ll get stuck in straight away!
Putrid Updates
The Blog
The keen eyed amongst you (which is most likely all of you warmongers!) will notice that the blog has not only changed in style but also in where it is located. We have indeed decided to trial run a full wordpress account instead of our usual integrated one we use for our site, this is because I have wanted to post videos to the blog and our older integrated one just won’t let us do it but this version does so we are putting this on trial for a bit to see how it goes, if people don’t like it then we shall go back to the good old favourite!
The Webstore
Emily has been super busy completely re-designing the structure and theme of the Putrid webstore over the last week or two and I have to say it’s looking great! We have had some brilliant feedback already and around 90% of the warmongers we asked about it said they really liked the new layout and style! If you haven’t seen this yet then I strongly suggest you head over there now and take a look (in a new tab obviously, you don’t wanna miss the Putrid news do you?!), simply click HERE to head to the webstore!
Personal Updates
So myself and Emily are going to be buying into a new game system very soon and yes it’s one we sell but it is one we have liked the look of for a while now and decided with some money raised from some personal bits I’m selling, we are going to be getting…Deep Wars by Antimatter Games! This skirmish/rpg game is set completely underwater and not only do the models look outstanding but from what I’ve read so far the rules are exciting too! We will have more updates on this as we start collecting so keep and eye out for personal posts from myself and Emily in the future! Might even make a separate category for it here!
No you aren’t drunk/going mad (well you might be!), you are seeing a brand new range we can get hold of! More details on them later but for now this means that we can now order in the Star Wars X-Wing Miniature Game as well as a good selection of expansion packs! As you read this the products will be available to order in via our webstore (follow the hyperlinked title above!) where you find our prices cheaper than some of the bigger wargames retailers on the internet! Because we love you more than they do ;).

There are other games we have added today, head on over to take a look!
This week we have some releases from Micro Art Studios in the form of some very nice terrain and bases! We have some Terminals which have been designed to go with the ever popular Infinity game system but also work with most 28mm scale games, for those of you looking to buy into some new aliens this weekend they have released a Hive Defense Line which is perfect to hide your ranged support behind so you can blast down your humanoid enemies behind the saftey of a wall! We also have a new addition to the incresingly popular TauCeti range in the form of a habitat and also a new range of Pipework wRound bases, perfect for steampunk or any tabletop system for that matter!

Secret Weapon
From Secret Weapon this week we have a Pigment fixer which acts as a bonding agent to keep your pigments firmly stuck to your models! Here’s what they have to say on their new product:
“This unique enamel fixative creates a permanent bond between your model and the pigments, without altering the texture or color of the pigments.
Apply with a brush over the pigments via capillary action to keep a soft texture. Sprinkle pigments over fixative to get a rough texture. Or create a wash with pigments and fixative for a dusty finish“
Pigment Fixer – Secret Weapon
Fantastic! So you need not worry about your precious mud coated tank loosing its’ dirty look with this awesome product!
So as you’ve seen above we have introduced Fantasy Flight Games to our ranges! But it isn’t just X-Wing we are going to be selling oh no! For if you head over to the webstore after reading the blog you will see tabs called Card games and Board games, we will be selling a selection from Fantasy Flight Games’ (DUST Tactics, Anrdoid: Netrunner, Game of Thrones Card Game) as well as some others! We have also eyed up a few other manufacturers but we are testing the water with mainly Fantasy Flight first. Click the title of this section to be taken back to the webstore and see for yourself!
In this segment of the blog, I would like to dedicate somewhere to the friends of Putrid Painting, these are the people that we are either trying to help or are involved with in some way! This will be updated as regularly as the blog (as long as there is fresh content to show you!) so make sure to read this segment every week to keep up!
Spud Tate
This weeks latest video from Wargamer Spud Tate is a video from his How NOT to build series where he updates us on the current progress of his 1/35 scale Stug III tank! Give it a watch, throwdown a sub and like if you enjoyed and as he would say, turn up the #BASE!
GreatJoJoMan
JoJoMan is a man/wolf of pure legend, a creature like no other and a madman of greenstuff and his latest installment of his Hobby Tips series is a video on how to use an airbrush and the dos and don’ts of owning and using one! Just started airbrushing? Then give this a watch! WARNING: COULD CONTAIN STRONG LANGUAGE!
Power Armoured Metal
Matt of Power Armoured Metal is a friend I have known for well over a year now and I have watched him grow in leaps and bounds in his kitbashing, painting and overall blogging and I’m super happy that he is doing so well. In his latest blog he tells us about some changes that will be made to his regular blogs and also what he would like to achieve this year. Keep an eye on this guys because I can see big things from him in the future so be sure to follow his blog and social media pages which I will link at the end of this blog.
Roses and Boltshells are cosplayers like nothing I have ever seen, also the fantastic drawers of the Putrid Painting official logo these guys are among, if not THE best creators of cosplay costumes I have ever seen and I’m honestly surprised they haven’t been recruited to some costume making company of some sort. Latest updates include a professionaly photographed album of their latest costumes, if you like massive power armor and flames then I highly suggest you go take a look and leave a like if you loved it!
Well that’s it for another Putrid Painting Blog, I hope you like the new layout, we would really appreciate it if you could leave any feedback in the comments section below! If you would like to know anything about any of the things discussed in today’s blog you can do some by contact us via our contact means provided above!
Anyway I’m off now, have yourselves a great weekend warmongers and I’ll see you next week for another blog!
