My name is Matt Slade. I have been wargaming and painting miniatures for nearly thirty years.

 

After 15 years in the Prison Service and before that 8 years in local government, I decided to take the plunge into self employment as a full time miniatures painter.

 

I specialise in 25-32mm miniatures but I take commissions in all scales from 15mm to 40mm using very much the same techniques. I use acrylic paints from the Reaper, Citadel, Foundry, P3, Vallejo, Coat d'Arms and Tree Fellas ranges all over a tough, brush applied black enamel basecoat. All figures are matt varnished with a spray and are based as seen in the pictures. 

 

As you will see from the galleries I am as comfortable with fantasy and sci-fi as much as historical work as I have gamed in all genres throughout my gaming life.

My painting has featured recently in Men Who Would Be Kings, Dragon Rampant and Lion Rampant by Dan Mersey.
