Description

Sci-fi worlds dominate the tabletop wargaming hobby for a reason: nothing beats the thrill of commanding your own army across alien landscapes in distant galaxies. Turning a collection of grey plastic into a force you're proud to field can feel overwhelming - especially if you're new to the hobby or unsure where to begin.

This book removes that uncertainty. Professional miniature painter Lloyd Davies shares the distilled knowledge of decades spent painting, teaching, and refining the craft. Inside, you'll find clear, friendly, step-by-step guides that take you from a bare plastic sprue all the way to a fully painted, battle-ready force.

You'll learn exactly which tools and materials will make your life easier, how to prepare and assemble your models for the best results, and how to approach priming, layering, shading, highlighting, and basing with confidence. Each technique is presented with simple, accessible instructions, practical tips, and dozens of crisp colour photographs. You'll also build real, hands-on skill through several full step-by-step model guides, walking you through complete paint jobs from start to finish.

This book will give you the confidence, skills, and inspiration to bring your sci-fi miniatures to life - and enjoy every step of the process!
