    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

    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

    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

The building uprising of Prawa V

Prawa V - a new start

I've been going through and editing the first story of Prawa V, Comes The Sandstorm, and making changes to it, such as adding to the story with things such as physical descriptions, and so on. I've completely changed the beginning and given the Narrator a far better motivation. We've all lot someone precious and I hope I can convey the numbness one feels in such a circumstance.   As always, constructive criticism and thoughts most welcome.   Ida is a Danish name.

Veteran Brother Hywel Kaedor

The second operative in my kill team is Veteran Brother Hywel Kaedor of the Griffon Lords Chapter.           Both shoulder pads, both arms, and the Stalker pattern boltgun come from the Deathwatch kit. The rest of the bits are bog-standard Tactical/Devastator squad bits.   The Griffon Lords Chapter is one of the three Chapters I know of that use the rampant griffon badge, the other two being the Howling Griffons (a favorite of mine) and the Knights of Gryphonne.

More VoidReavers (3oo3)

Hi Folks,   After kit bashing and building 2 units of VoidReavers out of various bitz, including a KT VoidReaver set bought on purpose, I’ve finally built and painted the genuine models.   As a foreword, I would say that the quality of the sculpt is high. It is a lot of details and a series of very good-looking models once built. Yet, as comments, let me share that, in my opinion, building these models is a painful experience. Mainly for two or three reasons: ·         F

Painted Rangers’ reinforcements

Hi Folks,   I share here after my kit-bashed Rangers once painted.   These models were built from various bitz and bodies recovered from my Bitz box. With the number of options in the genuine Ranger and Shroudrunner kits, it allowed me setting up a full 5 models strong squad.     The painting has been done to integrate these lads into my Saim-Hann army. I had initially though about following my Corsairs scheme and call them Ghostwalkers, but I gave up this

Xenith's Hobby Hangout

First game of Heresy 3.0

I think it was maybe June since my last game of heresy, having loved 2.0 naturally I was on the wagon for 3.0, and willing to give it a shot. Some of the rumours were weird, and after receiving and digesting the rulebook (there's a lot to digest) I'm reasonably happy with the game - now it was just time to play it!   The game was 1000pts against my regular raven guard opponent to try and get our heads around the new way of playing   Alpha Legion: Crusade Detachment

Burn the witch! - a Warlock Conclave and a Clown

Hi Folks,   Today's batch is filled with my last models for this year's CtA: the 3 characters that were kitbashed from various bits and lost parts. Including a bluestuff molded one for the Harlie's torso.   Let's start with the Troupe Master (a.k.a the Clown); the result is almost as a miniature that might be mismatched (by a night without moon and eyes closed) with a real GW stuff. No, not really (or at least as a spiritual son only). But I'd like to believe it. I've painted

VoidReavers ready to board – dish has been served!

Hi Folks,   I(ve told you this method was rocket fast. My 2 pledged squads are already done! While I usually paint one unit per week at full speed, this time it has been twice taht amount. And in fact in less than one week. Sure, rainy sunday helped. but generally speaking the method for the base colour has saved me some hours.   What about the result? Well not that bad for 2 units fully kitbashed and made of bits, putty and hope.     One of the units is

VoidReavers ready to board – a cooking book entry

Hi Folks,   After kit bashing and building VoidReavers, I’ve decided to enlist part of the miniatures as a 3rd vow for CtA25.     So I have started working on the paintjob immediatly as time is running fast. I have pledged 2 out of the 3 Reaver units builts ( each with 10 miniatures each). I have decided myself fotr the units  kitbashed and not for the genuine from the KT set. I also enlisted the Warlocks and the Troupe Master but this is for another story.

My Full Army - So Far (and Campaign Narrative Conclusion)

Last night I finally got the opportunity to do something I've been meaning to do for a while: set out everything I've painted for this army so far and get a photo!    Before we get to that, I've also finished writing up the narrative that concludes the recent Crusade Campaign I ran, the 'Forge of Silence'. For those who read my previous posts about the campaign (thank you! ), here's the conclusion of the narrative: Forge of Silence Conclusion   For those who hadn't seen
