Tutorials and How To's Resources

[Brother Tyler]

There are lots of useful topics about painting, modeling, and converting scattered across the Bolter & Chainsword website. While most will occur in this forum, other related topics are bound to spring up elsewhere. In addition, plenty of external websites will include content that is useful for hobbyists, including blog posts, videos, etc. Since we can't pin every useful topic, this topic is intended to provide a handy resource for hobbyists.

 

If you know of a topic, external site, or video that you would like to see added to this resource listing, please reply with a link to that topic, external site, or video. If the moderators agree that the submission is both relevant and useful, it will be added to the listing.

 

If you see a link that you think is no longer relevant or which is broken, please post a reply notifying the moderators of the issue. We'll do our best to keep this resource listing updated, fixing broken links and removing those that are no longer relevant.
