    XIVth Legion build

    By W.A.Rorie

    So am I back from Indiana. I have to head back to move In-Laws into a Retirement Center, in a few weeks. And of course everything goes sideways at work moment I get back. So hobby time has been non existence. Silver Lining is LGS not get Saturnine until Monday, so I can get everything I need to do first i.e. my XIXth Legion and Exorcists  Call to Arms Vows, that I have not started. And won't have time this weekend.   I did start on building one of My XIVth Legion Commanders, not sure w

    Jagieŀŀo inspects their prizes

    By GSCUprising

    The Resistance have finally captured the war machines they believe they require to make their stand.   Brutus, the Malcador, reliable, dependable the spine of their battleline. She will not fail them. She will hold the line, her battlecannon roaring, her sponsons blazing as she paves the way for the Resistance's advance. The Iron Duke, his twin Earthshaker cannons blasting holes in the enemy's fortifications. He guards those retreating and the wounded behind his massive blast shield

    Hi Folks,   Today’s blog entry is a little bit specific as it deals with something different from my usual inputs: instead of reporting hobbying progress, I will talk about a trail I did for a new technique (à la TITH – i.e. something that is not new in general but new for me).     The technique is often reported on purpose of adding details and create battle damages or war-torn marks on miniatures. But beyond painting damages, the sponge might be used on purpose of

    Wrapping Wreckas

    By zulu.tango

    Hit the throttle on the Wreckas last week. I've been painting pretty slowly this year all things considered, decided to change that with this project. Finished up free-hand on a few items, got the squigs painted up, did the bases and oil washes last week resulting in a final project I'm pretty happy with!    I dug out some of the leftover terrain bits I had from the sector imperialis/Chalnath terrain. I put a fine terrain paste around those bits and then put in some sand to act as larg

Unoffical Fan Made Data Cards- Part 1

So as my group begins to ramp up for our Campaign/ Crusade, I am looking at ways to make it more unique and add Characters.    1st up is my take on a Lieutenant in Terminator Armor       Model would be 80 points.    In the WarComm article Nick adds New Ultramarines to his vast collection we see he has 2 Lieutenants and an Apothecary Biologis. Dark Angels Deathwing had Apothecaries and Grey Knights have Apothecary options so that will be the nex

12 MoH - Nov'25 progress report

Hi Folks,   Long time no news, real life matters keeping me busy. And Winter's coming led to my hobby space being explused from the glass house. I am therefore back in the main room that I have to share with the living room TV in the background, dinner's table, which is also homework's table some times,... I therefore organized, or rather improvized, a hobby tray. Thank you shoe boxes:     This has some impact on my productivity, mainly because light is poor and da

The 164: Team Dossier

THE 164TH: Team Dossier      AQUILON TEMPESTOR MASON   Role: Squad Lead   Weapons: Hotshot Lascarbine and a Tempestus Dagger     MASON never traded up for the traditional officer’s pistol and sabre. He sticks with the same lascarbine he’s carried since his first drop, and the squad trusts him for that. He keeps a sealed relic-vial of Armageddon ash under his chestplate—grainy grey dirt Yarrick himself once trod on.   MASON’s leadership

Army Shots for November 9 Day

I try every few years to post up an army shot on November 9th, this year I planned ahead and actually got everything laid out to get a few shots. Much as I wanted to bring out both of my tables, my living room only fits one these days, so I had to get a little creative and stagger the shots. This is pretty much everything save one drop pod that I completely forgot on my shelf. Without further ado, presenting the November Warriors, The House Garaipena, and a couple of sisters from the Order of th

Oops, I didn't again....

Well I have been painting again and it was time to pick up more paint....     I already was suing this on my Horus Heresy Raven Guard and as I have been working on my 40k Imperial Fists, I figured why not.     I picked this up at a LGS for a good price and out of the colors included in the box I had 2 already, Matt Black and Gemstone Red. Need to pick up the remaining colors for White Triad and some of the other triads but this was a great pick up for th

The building uprising of Prawa V

Is it secure?

Again, mid-story Comes the Sandstorm, we see three of our main characters interacting with the mechanical beasts they have unearthed. This also features one of only two appearances of the Patriarch. Why so few? I prefer to focus on the human interactions between characters rather than the full, cosmic horror. But, it's important to have him there, always watching, always waiting.   Anyhow, constructive criticism welcome, as always.   =====     The Macharius Vul

The building uprising of Prawa V

A moment to exhale

So, following @W.A.Rorie's advice, I am going to start tagging these little vignettes and scenes with the appropriate story they are from. I will be going back and ensuring others are tagged appropriately, so there's some consistency and readers do not mix up one with the other.   So, this is from about midway through Comes the Sandstorm, and occurs after the assault on Complex 73. I think this is the first bit I've posted from that particular portion of the story.   I've had

The War in Khymara Sector by Metal Head Armory

Khymara Prime     My Gaming Group, Metal Head Armory, has been fighting over the Khymara Sector for years. Even our (Non LGS League) games in Horus Heresy take place in the Sector. Khymara Prime was formally known as Praxia. Praxia was a resupply point and Rapid strike forces for the Imperium before the Horus Heresy. Praxia was defending by large Company of Iron Warriors, Terran Born Raven Guard exiled by Corvus Corax, White Scars, World Eaters, and Word Bearers. A small Contingen

Lascannons and a Fellblade: Batteries

I finally got around to printing the batteries from my last post. In doing so, two things stuck out. 1. I really shoulda measured properly. While they work well enough, they are a little small for the space they're meant to fit in.  2. The details are a shallow.     The next step is to try painting them up anyway to see how they look, if all is well, then I'll just glue them up and all will be well. If not, then back to the drawing board to resize things and give i

Tybarr Seykyr - Kahl

Forged from the metals reclaimed from the dead of the lost Kin of the Shattered Star, Tybarr Seykyr was born of the Votann for one purpose; Vengeance. His cogitation unit filled with tactical engrams, his cyber nerves loaded with combat meme-forms and targeting philosophy.       Seykyr is a blunter tool of war than his organic compatriots. Lacking an inherent ability for improvisation, he relies on his implanted memories and long experience in battle to formulate plans

10th Company of Imperial Fists- Scouts

"DO WE BEMOAN SUCH LOSSES? NO! WE ARE THE FISTS! WE DO NOT NEED TO HIBERNATE OR SPIT VENOM. WE CRUSH OUR ENEMIES!" - Teachings of Rhetoricus, upon the losses of Sus-an Membrane and Betcher's Gland.     So I love Scouts. possible more than I love terminators. I have 2 Squads of 5 in my Exorcists Chapter (actually I have 11 models done for them)      So when I am thinking about building my Emperor's Shield Detachment Imperial Fist forces I know I want Scouts

"The Emperor commands us. Dorn guides us. Honour shields us. Fear our name, for it is vengeance." Rhetoricus of the Imperial Fists   So I was going to to paint the models as Exorcists. So yesterday I pulled the Terminators to work on them. 17 Terminators built, counting the characters.  One of the terminators needs a magnet in the base. The Terminators are primed Army Painter Plate mail primer and I figured lets work on the Chaplain and Librarian.    Not Exorcists
Skoolkrakka's Sappas

More Stormboyz Progress

Luggub Skorcha's 'Elljumpas are a Stormboyz Mob under the Sappas' banner, who specialize in hurtling through the air at high altitudes and dizzying speeds, then getting 'stuck in' with the enemy. Clad in a eye-watering array of camouflage patterns, they make for striking figures.  Viewed together, there isn't much cohesion, but that's fine. These are Orks, after all. Next up is the majority of a Kommandos unit sculpted by Trollet, though I need to figure out where to get the remaining 2 model

"The Imperium is nothing less than the greatest fortress in Human history. Every world is a bastion, a redoubt made mighty by faith and toil. We are the defenders of this fortress, the praetorians who stand watch upon the walls, and who sally out to shatter each new threat as it masses before the Imperium’s gates. While we stand our watch, this realm shall never fall."   Vladimir Pugh, Chapter Master of the Imperial Fists (deceased)         So I am proceedin
