Myles David of Lil'Legend Studio is pleased to bring you a series of classes over the course the LGT. Each class has an specific focus and you only need to buy a ticket for the classes you want to attend. This allows you to mix and match seminars with the gaming activities we have on offer.
Since 2012 Myles has been a professional freelance miniature artist, developing people’s own unique visions of what they want from their collections. Previously, Myles worked as a wine merchant - so he can offer you a decent wine pairing for your army of choice.
Last year, Myles launched his online, interactive teaching courses that covers a wide variety of miniature painting techniques. Alongside personal tutored sessions, there is a growing library of video tutorial, Q & A sessions and PDF tutorials available on his Patreon site: www.patreon.com/lillegendstudio
Although Myles is known for his work in the Horus Heresy, he has worked in developing Kick Starters, Box Art and created bespoke miniatures for collectors around the world. Now, his focus is on creating one off pieces for people’s collections, and engaging more fully with a community of all skill levels to develop, and paint miniatures their own way.
