A new year usually means a new project on the painting table. So, it also means hunting for inspiration before you commit.
Luckily, Warhammer TV is kicking things off with a proper visual treat. Additionally, this quick recap covers what is featured this week for Warhammer+ viewers.
Painting Desk goes full close up on Daz’s vampire hunter dioramas
This week’s Painting Desk spotlights dioramas by Warhammer Studio veteran Daz, also known as Darren. Since you have probably seen his work on Warhammer Community, this is basically the behind the scenes bonus level. Moreover, the episode shows his pieces in close up, high definition detail, which is exactly what you want for diorama learning.
Daz breaks down how an episode of Hammer and Bolter sparked a vignette starring witch hunter Hanniver Toll. So, you are getting the “why this scene” story, not just glamour shots. Meanwhile, Ed is there to quiz him on the craft side. That includes planning compositions, building narrative into a tiny footprint, and using colour theory on purpose. Additionally, they touch on working under looming deadlines, which feels extremely real for anyone who has ever rushed a base the night before game day.
Questing Nights keeps digging into the Jade Abbey mess
On the narrative side, Questing Nights continues with episode 2 of the season. So, the adventurers push deeper into the Jade Abbey instead of turning back like sensible people. Additionally, they run into Belga the Cystwitch and her nasty little entourage. If you have been following the Darkwater vibe, this is more creeping dread, more filth, and more problems.
Meanwhile, Deep Strike shifts to hobby reading fuel. The episode has Alex chatting with creatives behind recent DK Warhammer books. They discuss why they wanted to make them, and then they dig into how they chose what to include. Additionally, they call out favorites from titles like Warhammer 40,000: The Ultimate Guide, Warhammer 40,000 Character Encyclopedia, and The Art of Warhammer Video Games.
Summary: what you actually get with Warhammer+ this week
Overall, the big draw is Painting Desk giving you a masterclass view of Daz’s diorama planning and execution. However, you also get more Jade Abbey action in Questing Nights and some behind the curtain publishing talk in Deep Strike. All of it streams on Warhammer TV for Warhammer+ subscribers, alongside more than 600 other episodes.
Finally, the piece also reminds you of the yearly sub perks. So, you can pick one of two diorama minis, and you also unlock unlimited army creation in the 40,000 and Age of Sigmar apps. Additionally, you can redeem book codes and access the Warhammer Vault through your MyWarhammer login.
