Hi guys! I am looking at getting some tutorials up on my site, I just don't know what to put on there... So any suggestions would be good!
These could be things that you like that are on my site, or things that you think would be interesting for me to explore (this might require a little trial and error but the best things do!).
Thanks,
Tom

Just knock out anything that you think could be useful.

So remembering your duel, maybe one on the weathering you did on the Space Wolf. Maybe one doing skin?

One regarding display bases would be good, as they are rarely done.

Best suggestion is probably next time you are painting something and it is an obscure technique or something that isn't always done well, write a tutorial about it

I just skimmed through your site. Loving it.

Perhaps a tutorial on how to bring you bases to 'life'?
Something like 'how to make volcanic bases', or marshes?
Otherwise, just about how you paint your models, that can be a good tutorial.

Painting White and Painting Black would be good, since they're usually difficult.
