Cam Howard has been playing and painting Warhammer 40,000 competitively for 3 years following the standard post-adolescence break and Covid Revival. A deep lover of color theory and pushing the boundaries on design depth, bringing texture and colors together to create a strikingly realistic product - whether it could ACTUALLY be real.

Favorite Model that I’ve painted - My Caladius/Magamdroth conversion for my Adepts Custodes Army, OR Gaz
Favorite Miniature Game - Warhammer 40K, nothing else comes close but I like the sigmar/underworld/necormunda models quite a bit for conversions
First Army - Ultramarines, there weren’t many options or instructions on how to paint other schemes back them, plus loved blue lol
Why Painting Artisanal Army men? - Its a relaxing and rewarding personal hobby as you can improve, while also creating something, but being able to share your creations and abilities with others, who truly understand and appreciate them is a reward beyond the pure creation
Favorite Fandom - Has to be Lord of the Rings
Favorite Book Series - Stromlight Archives by Brandon Sanderson, simply the best
Favorite TV Series - Rings of Powers, if you can suspend canon, its amazing
