Joshua Mallett talks painting on Warhammer TV this week

It could be a tough week for mere mortals on Warhammer TV this week, as Fulgrim and his Emperor’s Children battle the Astra Militarum and there’s a look at the lore of the children of Chaos. Plus, you can hear from one of the Warhammer community’s top painters.

Live Now: Loremasters: Beastmen – The Children of Chaos

Half-men, half-monsters, the Beastmen consider themselves the true children of Chaos. This week’s episode of Loremasters is all about their origins, culture, and the rise of the infernal shaman Kralmaw, the Prophet of Ruin.

Live Today: Battle Report: Warhammer 40,000 – Emperor’s Children vs Astra Militarum

The Astra Militarum and Emperor's Children both make their Warhammer 40,000 11th edition debuts on Battle Report, giving us a chance to see how their new detachments work.

While the Imperial military has sheer numbers, these brave soldiers may prove to be nothing more than bodies to be chewed through by the debauched followers of Slaanesh. If that wasn’t bad enough for the Astra Militarum, they also have to contend with BOTH of the Epic Heroes from Codex: Emperor’s Children – the Daemon Primarch Fulgrim and Lucius the Eternal!*

Live Tomorrow: Painting Desk: Joshua Mallett

Community painter Joshua Mallett, known for his artistic and atmospheric style, joins host Ed on Painting Desk to chat about his work – including his incredible diorama, Dying Light, based on the Astartes II trailer.

Joshua talks about finding his own style and taking inspiration from real life subjects like art, daily life, and more. He also discusses developing new skills, balancing enjoyment with the desire to constantly try and improve, and progressing from painting a full army to focussing on a single model or display piece.

We’ve also been fortunate to have hosted some of Joshua’s work right here on Warhammer Community – check out his Tyranid Ravener and Cado Ezechiar.
