    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

    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

    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

Dawn of War: Building the Blood Ravens 2025-2026

Dawn of War: No Plan Survives Contact With the Enemy

My plan didn’t survive 3 days.    I laid out my idea and had someone point out a very obvious point to me:   "You are playing Blood Ravens, who are known for their many Librarians. And there aren’t any in your army."   I can't have a fluffy theme army that ignores the thing the Chapter is known for (besides Steel Rain and poor decisions).   So, I scrapped a squad of Intercessors I don't own yet and got rid of the Lieutenant with Combi-weapon that I can't fi

Data is Knowledge, Knowledge is Power

Hi folks,   As part of my add-ons units from Imperial Agents, I have been planning for a while dealing with an Inquisitorial Retinue. A pure Fluff reason is lying underneath as I do not really see any tactical benefit atm; yet from a narrative approach it is a nice touch: a AdMech Exploratory Fleet that as not so tight bounds with its ForgeWorld and may be suspiciously looked at because of some possibly heretek behaviours and personalities in its ranks. May it be enough for a close mon

Dawn of War: The 13 Month Plan

Alright, I've built a list that no one seems to hate, but will probably be invalidated when 11th Edition rolls around.   I have 2 insane conversion ideas that I'm gathering bits for:   1. The Ancient will be in Grey Knight power armour, carrying a Standard that's not the Blood Ravens and loaded down with "gifts" from other chapters.   2. Vulkan He'stan will be in Adeptus Custodes armour with some other ideas I'm still working on.   Here's my current list (

Not GSC - Rogue Trader Entourage Part 3

Hi folks,   As my paint job is progressing on my RT Entourage, I can already share some progress for 2 figures serving the warrant bearer: The Death Cult Assassin proxy and the Rejuvenat Adept proxy.   For the former, its paint scheme has been largely influenced by the standard paint schem proposed by GW for the Biophagus. It stays very close of the genuine model, save the loss of its GSC familiar and a head swap. For the later, the colors were selected to match with the

Doctrinae Fidei

Where The end begin

Atonement is your duty. Retribution is your path. He hurried. Fumbling in his robe and pushing aside slack servants, the Confessor hastened along the endless gallery. Sunlight streamed through stained-glass windows depicting saints and martyrs, heroes and Primarchs, painting the corridor with every color of the rainbow. Ferdinand never ceased to marvel at the skill of the masters. They created these windows two thousand years ago. It seemed like Saint Zafar was about to step from paint

The Warbird

"She's a warbird, and an old one at that, but don't let that fool you, min ven. She is a predator, a night eagle, a Night Rovfugl, and once she has you in her claws, you will never see the morning."   Stenrik looked over to me. I could see in his face that quiet strength I had come to admire in him. But there was something else. Fear, perhaps? I did not ask, I merely kept listening.   "She is like a wild bjergløve. By the time you see her, she has already been watching you f

Mechanicum reinforcements

Hi folks, As a small project framed into my 12 MoH pledge for December, here comes 2 extra models for my Adeptus Mechanicus army: a Axiarch and an Archeotechnologist. These 2 lads will bring my head counts for Marshalls and Archeotechnologists to 3 for each category, reaching the full max number for the rooster. Low to no incentive to had any extra model from the HH series when the Skitarii Battle Pilgrim Marshall will be released… The Archeotechnologist is the model that was coming wi

Imperial Knight Conversion

1. Source. 1/6 scale action figure ammunition. At the outset we have a number of decisions. First we have two design options: (1) a closed belt makes functional sense, and (2) the open links look awesome. Second, if we go with linked ammo - plastic linked ammunition is super cheap and available, but actual brass with separable links looks and feels just like the real deal. Plastic doesn't sink with weight (though it may have applications). Third, the size has to be right. .50 caliber (12.7mm) is

Dawn of War: Core Concepts

So, here's my plan.   I want to build a themey and fun Blood Ravens army that will be fun to play, but still hold its own in games.   There is one thing I want in a 2,000 point list: A Knight Paladin in the Blood Ravens colors.   Right now, I have the following models available:   3 × Eradicator (no multi melta) 3 × Bladeguard Veteran  1 × Bladeguard Veteran Ancient  1 × Chaplain  1 × Judicar 1 × Infernus Marine   various

Headsman Kordesh

The steps approach, steady and unhurried. Members of the Chosen squad flit from shadow to shadow, their weapons drawn and bloodied, their heads twisting to pierce the gloom surrounding them.   A fallen chapel; marble and gold thrown down in a flurry of battle and devastation. The grandiose space once lit by massive promethium-fueled chandeliers now had only flickering flames dancing from burning tapestries and broken pews. The Night Lords moved to surround the altar and the sobbing man

Stained Lord Tovach Carrow

"Greetings Lord Carrow."   The cultured voice of his "ally", the First Acolyte of the Ebon Word, grated in Carrow's ears. Not because the voice was unpleasant; if anything the voice of Vor Skral of the Word Bearers legion was too pleasant. A voice meant to cajole and seduce, to lead sermons and turn the will of entire planets. No, the voice annoyed Carrow because of what it represented, the slow corruption of an Astartes into the pawns of the Chaos Gods. For that is what the Ebon Word

A hobby outline

Ok... I don't normally do the whole WIP thing, so this will be a learning opportunity for me. Anyway.   This is my current plan for the Shrikeborn as far as gaming goes. This is definitely more of a theme/narrative/fun army, so I'm not going to be looking at any sort of meta list, just make my fluffy guys in-game legal without too much fuss.   The List - Pactbound Zealots Detachment (all Night Lords will be Marked Undivided) Stained Lord Tovach Carraw Chaos Lord w/J

A blog starts

Hey all, Ikka here. I'm starting up a little project that I've been thinking about foe a while- a small portion of Night Lords that will narratively be mercenaries working with my Ebon Word WB force. This blog will document their lore and the WIP process that I'll be going through to make them. It won't, hopefully, distract me from my Votann army/blog, as this is going to be a more hobby/painting intensive project than the Votann, whom I will be speedpainting.   As a note, I'm using/us

Kaba's hobby in general

Why so?

Ok, I wanna marine army, though I don't like them for years. I think I hate them for years. I like new range( I leave hobby at the end of 7th, and all primaris stuff are new range for me), most of the models are really great. But my damn brain required justification. Like cool mini or not isn't main problem. Why this guys are fighting? How they become what they are? Why this His Holly Unicorns chapter took this name? Why they are use this and that combat doctrines? Etc, etc. Aaaand in most

Suffer Not the Alien - The Deathwatch Kill Team

Hello Frater, its been a while! After finishing the Syther Squad I worked on a few non-GW related projects for a game set in a galaxy far far away. Between those going a bit longer than anticipated and the Holiday season arriving I haven't had a ton of time or energy for a post. That isn't to say I haven't been productive though, in a rarity for me this will be a one-and-done post as I completed the deathwatch kill team from the Tombworld box a little while ago.   The kit is pretty awe

Rogue Trader Entourage – Part 2

Hi folks,   As I introduced it previously [Not GSC - Rogue Trader Entourage Part 1 - How to pretend not starting an army - The Bolter and Chainsword], I have recently bought some new models to be painted and included in my Imperium forces under the form of an Inquisitorial retinue and some RT Entourage.   My objective was, initially, to get back in service some iddled miniatures I have here or there as an Inquisitorial Retinue. But this trend led me to expanding the option wi

"The Grey Knights have come on behalf of the Holy Inquisition"

So Mother-In-Law is still in town for a little longer but will be moving out here Mid January, as her and her husband's place will be finished 1st of the year and only 90 second drive away from My wife, kids, and me.    With her here, helping with our newborn (1 month old today) adopted Daughter and the boys, I took full advantage of building some models....or more of working on models.      They are not attached to bases but will be pinned to them for durability.

Veterans of the 4th Household

The Hearthguard:   The most trusted veterans of each Household form the personal retinue of their Warleader.   Sometimes these experienced warriors will act as squad leaders for line units, at others they serve as bodyguards for their commander. As the Marines Adamant never use dedicated Assault Squads, when a position must be taken the Hearthguard are also often used as linebreakers and breachers, a role at which they excel.     Whether clad in power arm
