Brush Licker
Steven Bertie
I’ve recently returned to painting regularly over the past year, with an interest in Warhammer stretching back to my first childhood Space Marine vs Orks starter set.
I focus on creating armies that are both striking on display and effective on the tabletop. My painting style leans toward clean, vibrant tabletop-plus finishes, along with the occasional display level centerpiece. I particularly enjoy working on Space Marines, Chaos, Tyranids, Orks, and other sci-fi or grimdark inspired projects.
I especially enjoy infantry squads and vehicles, focusing on efficient, high quality paintwork that helps clients get fully painted armies on the table without long wait times. My approach is centered on producing cohesive forces with strong visual impact, clean detailing, atmospheric basing, and subtle weathering that adds character while maintaining consistency across the army.
My goal as an artist is to deliver models clients are genuinely excited to own, whether that’s a tournament ready force, a standout vehicle, or a centerpiece character. I prioritize clear communication, reliable turnaround times, and paintwork that balances quality, consistency, and value.
