    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

    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

    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

    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

The Green Templars (WIP 2026)

The Final Cogitator Entry of Captain Sébastien Yorke

They are the Green Templar: hunters of forbidden relics, executioners of knowledge, and the hammer that keeps the Dark Age of Technology buried forever. Successors of the Salamanders, they strike where the Imperium dares not tread, leaving nothing alive that could betray what they hunt.   FINAL COGITATOR ENTRY OF CAPTAIN SÉBASTIEN YORKE:   They came aboard without ceremony.   No warning chime. No challenge from the augur decks. One moment the Gloria Invictus drifte
The Green Templars (WIP 2026)

Chapter Icon Color Help

Ok, I've decided on a Color scheme for the army, and reduced the weirdness of their lore thanks to some help from @Kabaakaba      They are Salamanders Green with a Black right kneepad. This way Vulcan can slide right in. (He'll have one shoulderpad be the Templar Cross and have a Templar backpack)   But the question I have is, which looks better:    A white background with a Black Templar Cross.... or..       A Black Background with a W

There is can't be enough infantry

Finished all battleline units. There is last blob of twenty and army shoot without vechicles and ogryns who's wip right now.  I wish I finish last two bullgryns and castellan tomorrow. There is very few touches for them. And technically basecoated sentinels who need to be repainted in new( or upgraded colour scheme). That's looks good on the shelf and after I got all remained infantry, which is twice current body count I've got a company.

Conversion Tutorial: Ghetto Stranglewebs for Termagants

Did you buy a load of Leviathan Termagants and are missing out on the strangleweb frame that came out later? Or are you unwilling to drop a load more cash to get some one per unit weapons? I have your solution (as long as you can scrounge a few spare devourers)! With a sharp knife, a bunch of plastic glue and a little dry fitting, you too can have a funnel-web shooter for your numberless hordes!        STEP 1 Get yourself a termagant and make 2 cuts like this - one basic

Your unusual ogryn

This is Broggy. Once he joined the ranks he was real troublemaker. Commissar Gaffes though find the key to his soul. Instead of punish unruly Ogryn he said him:  "When your armour and uniform and clear and shiny The God-Emperor smiles on his Throne" After this no more problem from him, except may be overuse of polishing paste.

Well, 1/3 of LINE infantry is done. This year good bunch of HWS and artillery join the party. Also more command squads and kasrkins. I don't know, and to be honest I won't know why I build army this way. At the end of year I gonna have full company + some support. I wanna 3 line company.  Do GW return apocalypse or not I wanna hav

Combat Patrolling the Galaxy

Training Day

So over the weekend I got in a game of Combat patrol with a new hobbyist. He was looking to get some experience in the game via CP and I was more than happy to help. I managed to gather up 6 CPs, 3 nids, 3 marines and the IK one. I’m debating doing up two more armigars in some freeblade colours to specifically use in CP. We won’t talk about how many knight frames I have in storage still….    Anyway he was using Amonhotekh’s Guard (Necrons), I let him pick his destroyer. To which he sel

""A spiritu dominatus, Domine, libra nos"

A look at 2026

Well 2026 is upon us and I have not touched really worked on an Adepta Sororitas or Ecclesiarchy Model in Months. I have just not had the motivation to paint or build them.      I really have been struggling to build or paint Adepta Sororitas over the past few years in consistent fashion, unlock my Grey Knights or HH Raven Guard. With the release of rules for the Celestian Insidiants via WarComm updated Adepta Sororitas Faction Pack, I have some motivation.

The Shrikeborn

It's Worbla-ing Time...

So I finally got all of the models together that would need to have worbla skin-trophies modeled on them and got the time to spend messing around with the stuff. Not going to lie, was not as easy as I wanted it to be. The main problem was that I was using a pair of metal tweezers to try to hold/place the worbla onto the models, but the tip of the tweezers would get hot and basically cut the worbla in half instead of holding it. I worked it out eventually, but it was annoying.     I thi

The Night Rovfugl's insertion

OK, OK, I pledge to get the Night Rovfugl and get some decent pics this weekend. I've been sitting on it for long enough. I apologise, family commitments over the holdays and the joy of being in hospital for a few days (yay?) somewhat threw me off track. Below is a passage about the Night Rovfugl, the Night Bird of Prey.   She's a predator. She will only attack if she is sure of a kill. Under other circumstances, she will flee. If cornered, she is like a cat, she'll put on a show al

The building uprising of Prawa V

Zofia & Róża

I've never really turned my hand to 'romantic' scenes, but thought I'd think a little ahead in this small scene between Zofia Malmgren, the 280th's medic and Róźa Makówska, Sergeant of the 265th, from Comes the Sandstorm. I've sprinkled little hints in the text that there's an unspoken spark between them, but never made it blatant. I like my readers to fill in the gaps. That said, I've not posted any of this, yet! Haha   I believe the question I am asking is, 'does this work for you?'

A request for feedback and an apology

Hi all,   Firstly, my apologies for not updating much of late. Both the travelling for the holiday season and being a little unwell has rather knocked the stuffing out of me.   Secondly, a little feedback on my style and where I can improve would be most gratefully received.   I've shown my writing to both yourselves and to some friends I have here. One of the comments was that it is a "little stiff." I can see how this comes about as I tend not convey inner monolog
Combat Patrolling the Galaxy

So it begins again

So figure I place this here since this project will be covering multiple factions. The idea is to do as many Combat Patrols as possible using what I have or am getting via the Hatchettes’ lovely magazine collections or any of the other bundle boxes I get over the course of this.    Will also include battle reports for these or links to the reports if the CP is part of a large force I’m tracking in the main section of the B&C. Namely the guard and Admech ones. To help keep track of
Ashen Sentinels - an Ultima Founding Space Marine Chapter

2025 in Review - and what's ahead in 2026

I gave this army a lot of focus in 2025, adding units to take it to 2,000 points, and beyond  Not counting Heavy Intercessors and a Gravis Captain (which I started painting in 2024), here's everything I painted for the Ashen Sentinels this past year - six squads (Desolation Squads, Assault Intercessors with Jump Packs, and more Intercessors), three characters and a Redemptor Dreadnought:   The past year wasn't just a good one for this army hobby wise, the narrative campaign I ran

Siege of Mezoa - solo battle #1

With the conclusion of the opening multi-player apex battle concluded, the campaign has moved into a round of individual games. Schedules aligned to have my Luna Wolves face off against the Raven Guard in a 2500 point battle for my last HH game of 2025. This battle was fought earlier in the month before schedules completely got sidetracked by end of year craziness. It's taken me a bit to be objective about the mission experience enough to write anything up.    Mission: Take and Hold
