    AdMech Patrol #2 - Progress report

    By Bouargh

    Blog entries pass and sometimes look like very similar to some previous ones. It is one of the issues when dealing with army building on base of multiples buy outs of the same Patrol Box...   Yet we might eventually expect some variation if the models are fitted in different fashion, ain´t we?   The Onagre DuneCrawler as already been spoiled in the FOrums, but it has been the major progress of the past week so I will "proudly" republish it there. It is also an unhonorable  wa

    Dakota Minor Defence Corps (PDF)

    By Mike Zulu

    Introduction Like many established Imperium worlds, Dakota Minor has a planetary defence force simply known the Dakota Minor Defence Corps (or DMDC). Most of its number are conscripted from the local population; a small number of citizens willingly join to escape the tedium of farm life that is prevalent on Dakota Minor. The DMDC is organised in a manner similar to Astra Militarum regiments, albeit more limited in their makeup. For the most part, it consists of dozens of infantry battalions

The Forgotten, a Fallen warband on Crusade

Phase 3 - Game 3

Xaphan grinned under his silver skull-helm. This was a foe worth destroying- the fanatical attack dogs of the damned Ecclesiarchy, Sisters of Battle. Their base was filled with statues to the Corpse-God, singing Novitiates praising His name. Xaphan's voice was raised in his infamous castigations, calling his brothers to war. They were unprepared for the Forgotten's speed and hatred. Again Xaphan lead his warband into the heart of the enemy, destroying both Novitiates and Battl Sisters alike.

The Enemy does not sleep, nor shall we. - Chapter II part 1

"Where's Mord," whispered Deputy Govenor Reeta Nirom to Governor Corvin Augulant.      They had been on the Heavy lander for about 2 hours. No information to where they were going, very little small talk or even why.  The flight had been smooth for a while. Governor Augulant scanned the room. There was a noticeable shaking of the Heavy lander.        " He was with us when we boarded. And where is Marshal Dylon, too" responded Governor Augulant.        The heavy lan

The Enemy does not sleep, nor shall we. - Chapter I part 7

The Aquila Lander and Valkyrie hovered at massive hanger doors as they opened. Both flew into the hangar and landed as the door closed behind them. As the ramp dropped on both aircrafts, the passengers began disembarking. A massive heavy lift aircraft sat in the middle of the hanger, its cargo bay was open. Inside you can see Aquila Lander and 3 Valkyries class aircraft being secured. The Inquisitorial Aquilions began moving towards the massive aircraft. Load crews and servitors began moving the

MacFarlane figure Complete!

Finished the details of my MacFarlane figure that I'll be using for reference for painting the colour-shift style I'm going for with my chapter armour.  The figure was sprayed with Rust-Oleum "Cosmic Blue" Colour Shift rattle cans (with the correct undercoat), and everything else was hand painted with good old Citadel paints. The spray paint was... not great to work with to be honest: It was, and still is, very sticky, so I have to be careful what I was holding it with, and because it's col

Reinforcements inbound

Well Mikey's birthday was yesterday and he got some Baron of Dice Ultramarine dice, Inceptors, Aggressors, and Ancient. But the Eradicators "were" delivered but they were not in my mailbox or USPS did not leave the key for the lockbox...   My other son, Chris got his Combat Patrol Necrons so he has gotten closer to fielding an army but still a ways off.

The Forgotten, a Fallen warband on Crusade

Phase 3 - Game 2

The Aeldari were holding a line, defending a section of city for their own inscrutable reasons. Squads of Striking Scorpions prowled the flanks while Eldrad, Guardians, the Void Reapers, and Wraithguards were spread out among the centerline. It mattered not to the Forgotten. Not the Xenos' defensive plans, their witcheries, or their vaunted battle skills. Galgaliem bikers formed the Fallen vanguard, capturing breachpoints and holding them while Rhinos transported reinforcing Legionaries. Havo

The Enemy does not sleep, nor shall we. - Chapter I part 6

Lady Satzie Lucotor, Descendant of House Ko'Iron, Prima Materis of the Khymara Prime, Hive Secondus, Priestess of God-Emperor Mankind, were her know titles. Rumors swirled she was head of the Cawdor gangs in the Underhive, but very few knew she was also the Matriach of the House of Redemption in the Khymara sector. As she sat in her grav throne her 2 Frateris Bodyguard with their red jackets stood on either side of her throne. The Cherubs fluttered around with censor and speaker. Lady Lucotor's

Armored Support acquired......

Well that was not planned....   I have a bunch of Phobos, more than I probably need or can use. It is all infantry and outside of the Suppressors and the one of the two squads of Eliminators having las-fusils, lack big guns. Plus the Scouts Sniper Rifle and Heavy Bolter.  Adding another Suppressors is out of the question, as they are expensive money wise. So how do I add big guns to the list.   So I was able to pick up a Gladiator kit Lancer will be added (well the

The Exorcists- The Hexbreakers

Despite their similarities to the Grey Knights, the combat doctrine of the Exorcists differs greatly. Unlike the Grey Knights, the Exorcists possess no special resources other than hardened resolve to fight the Daemonic, and are more strategically flexible due to their adherence to the Codex Astartes. They are known for their effective reconnaissance and large use of Scouts, deploying them behind enemy lines to collect intelligence. Indeed, many of these Scouts undertake combat duties that would

Steel and Fire - The Armored Might of the Forgotten

He of the Host of Iron of Old Terra, Marshal of the Ironwing, Seneschal  of the Order of Ruptured Paths, and now named Tech-smith of the Forgotten. Dar-kun sees to the wounds of the steel beasts that bring his brothers to battle, to the behemoths of war that unleash burning hell. For countless years has this Tech-smith labored to keep his charges running and fighting, welding armor to wounds and shoring up failing engines in the heat of battle. His hammer drips with the blood of the hated Imperi

The Forgotten, a Fallen warband on Crusade

Phase 3 - Game 1

The Forgotten were under attack, taken by surprise. Scores of squat power-armored bodies moved in disciplined ranks against the Fallen. Bulbous wheeled transports filled the air with fire as crackling teleporters brought even heavier-armored squads into the Angels' back lines. Xaphan and his men did not buckle under the pressure, driving the invading "Kin" back and showing them the power of eons of hate. It was too little though, as the stubby Abhumans managed to find the whatever it was their g

The Iron Snakes take a trip into the past

It’s been a while since I last posted anything here. I’ve been quietly tinkering away on my Iron Snakes project in the background and managed to squeeze in a few games here and there. But honestly, I was finding it tough to stay motivated. I tried pushing through, but it slowly dawned on me that I wasn’t really enjoying the direction 9th and 10th edition 40k were heading. As awesome as the new Marine sculpts are, I much prefer the older aesthetic. Maybe that’s because of my rose-tinted glasses f

How to save an half sliced Banshee

Hi Folks,   As part of the various tasks listed on my To Do List, one entry was associated to the rescue of an old miniature I have for years. A Banshee exarch model that I bought when GW made the trasition from lead models to White MetalTM. Youngsters among us probably won't understand what it is about. But to make it short: it is a good synonym for a long long time ago!!!    This model was initially bought in order to recover the power axe and model it as a hand weapon for

"How dare you," screamed Deputy Governor Reeta Nirom at the robed man.      "Colonel, I suggest you stand down immediately," calmly said the Black Armored figure standing next to the robed man holding a Hot-Shot lasgun aimed at her.       There was 20 of the Black Armored figures in the room. All carrying Militarum Tempestus Scion style weapons. their eye glowed red, bone skull paint on their facemasks. No ranks, no ribbons, no markings at all. Their sudden appearance as they
A Forgotten World - Now A Bastion Of Hope

Origin And Forging

Treya was little more than a footnote in the annals of the Ullanor Crusade. Neither Ork nor Astartes set foot upon its soil, nor was its system marked by any great battle or tactical significance. Of its five planets—only one held any promise for habitation. Even then, only half of the planet’s surface was considered viable for colonization, the rest locked in an endless cycle of freezing and flooding due to the planet’s extreme axial tilt. Where ice did not entomb the world, tidal deluge follow
