    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

    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

Ikka's Hobby Land

Small Nightbringer update

Got the bits for the Nightbringer, but decided I wanted to up my game a little bit. So instead of just the Purple Sun floating with the puzzle/blackstone bits, I will take one of the Convergence of Dominion steles and use it as a base. Canted at an angle, I think it will sell the whole "C'tan that broke free" that my Necron stuff is going for. Plus, found some old FW scarabs that should make good basing material as well. Both of those are going to be shipped to me in the next couple of weeks and

Combat Patrolling the Galaxy

New Training Grounds

New Training Grounds   IRL work seems to be picking up so entries will be sporadic for a bit. I got some more hobbying done.    So I finished the what mantis Warriors I pieced together. I’m actually out of basic Intercessors, still have plenty of assault and heavy left, but no basic. I was thinking of grabbing a box with my tax refund, but the reveals put a bolt round in that idea. Still it can wait.   Vengeful Brethren (Mantis Warriors/Ultramarines) Al

The Gnostari Dominion - The Ironkin March

Ironkin Infantry - Steeljacks, Hearthguard, Thunderkyn

Thunderkyn “The Sturm‑Bon” The Sturm‑Bon are the Gardhird’s storm‑callers, a Thunderkyn battery whose fire discipline is as precise as a lightning strike. Their name comes from the thunderous recoil of their weapons, a rolling boom that echoes across the battlefield like a brewing tempest. When the Sturm‑Bon deploy, the air crackles with charged particulates and the enemy quickly learns that cover is a suggestion, not a shield. They are the storm made manifest- sudden, overwhelming, and imp

2026: Building Space Marines

Where I am today (an Update and the War in the Webway))

I know I haven't been posting like I used to, as my mental health hasn't been all that awesome lately. A bunch of stuff I expected to occur in life went the opposite way.   So I built a little (finished my ODST Tempestus Aquilons), painted a little and withdrew into myself and haven't played a game of 40k or Kill Team in a while.   Recently, I've decided that I'm going to build the army I always wanted for years, but could never afford. Plus I listened to others who said it w

The building uprising of Prawa V

The rewrite

Well, the rewrite is going well. It has given me the opportunity to revisit characters who need a little more polish and to drop those who are unnecessary. It has also given me the opportunity to add in characters I had in mind but couldn't quite work in.   For those following the story, it's gone way off WH40K as to be almost unrecognisable. It was never the intention, but it feels like the right move. Certainly the bones are there, but everything built off it is different.

Bad Mood Rising

Control is power

Hi folks,   DISCLAIMER: No link to be found with my recent paint jobs on inquisition and inquisition-like organizations. For them ignorance is power. To be applied to all and any of the other ones except the wise =][= itself.     This is more related to the capacity you (I) have to control yourself (myself). Specifically, as a matter of compulsory purchases.   I have faced this dilemma recently as I have been very tempted to buy the Aeldari Corsair box. A good

So, here's chapter two. Firstly, my apologies for the formatting. Apache Office and this forum really don't like playing ball together and it seems to remove all the line breaks, etc. Constructive criticism is as always most welcome.   =====   The carrier left the district roads behind before dawn and kept going until the sky paled from black to iron grey. I must have slept in snatches, because I remember the engine note changing more than I remember the ground we crossed. So

Skull Brethren Part 5: The Forgotten

Have you ever wanted a unit to work in your army but never could? Like a unit or character that you love in the lore, but because the game, aren't able to make it work. I have this feeling about World Eaters Terminators. I love terminators, no doubt about it. When my brother bought box of 2nd edition loyalist terminators, they brought fear into my then Dark Eldar force. That thick 2+ save was a menace, until i got some  Incubi.    - When I started my World Eaters collection, I of c

Comes The Sandstorm - Chapter One

I've been tinkering with things on this. Things like music and a little background ambience.  I've recorded this as an audio (link at the bottom) and would welcome any feedback you may have. This is the story of how the Narrator comes to be a part of the 280th Sunward Watch. I won't say any more so as not to skew opinion. All I ask is constructive criticism. Thank you!   =====   I gave a reluctant nod, jaw clenched, lips tight, and glanced at the orderly. He carefully replace

Howling Griffons- Upcoming Projects 1st company

So as I continue working on my Howling Griffons, I am thinking about what I want to add.  I need to build and paint my 20 Terminators (2 5 man Assault Terminators and 2 5 Man Tactical Terminators), 5 Man Scout Squad #2, and 3 Dreadnoughts (Ballistus, Brutulis, and Redemptor Dreadnoughts).  I need to paint the Custom Terminator Characters (Company Champion and Lieutenant), Ancient, Captain*, Finish Librarian, Chaplain, and Apothecary, and Scout squad #1.    Ideas I have right now:
How to pretend not starting an army

Another layer of planification

Hi folks,   Now that I have explored the bottoms of my cardboxes, I am pretty sure all the proxy-AM models I had built from GSC sprues were covered by my previous photocall. Nothing more hidden in any place. These are therefore the basis I will use as a starting point.   Second step has been a deep and careful reading of the Astra Militarum DS, mostly for Command Squads and Battleline units.  Each of the three flavours has different options and DS structure, leading to differ

Ashen Sentinels - an Ultima Founding Space Marine Chapter

Parting with a previous project - farewell to the Legion of Taurus

Before there was the Ashen Sentinels, there was the Legion of Taurus. Veteran Fraters of the B&C may remember my Chaos Space Marine army, which I worked on from 2007 to 2014. Like with these Ashen Sentinels, I developed a detailed background, and played out their story over the course of several campaigns. After a decade languishing in a couple of classic GW miniature cases under the bed, I’ve made the slightly difficult decision to sell this army      This was a real pas

The Dengamar Strife Part 1: Making War

Hello folks, sometimes I want to be creative, but I have nothing to paint or I'm not in the mood for painting. I'm not made of money. So even though I love building models, I can't justify going out and buying whatever I want. What's a creative wargamer to do?  Another hobby of my back in the day was Dungeons and Dragons. I don't play much currently, I still get the itch. When I did play D&D with my friends, I was the Dungeon Master 80% of the time. So I got a knack for building worlds and s

Major Charles Emerson Winchester III  M.A.S.H 4077TH Terra 1952.M2     Spent more time working on my Crucible of Champions Apothecary in Terminator Armor. One of the images I found of a Howling Griffons Apothecary, off the 40k Wiki page, had him in more of Grey than White armor.      I really like the non white armor. So with this in mind I am going to replicate this on my Terminator Apothecary.         All Paints are Army Pai

"We are the Emperor's angels of death, not his angels of mercy."

So my favorite models are Adepta Sororitas model, followed by Scouts, and Terminators.  With all the rumors about 11th Edition, my local gaming group discussing doing a league and well we have pretty much decided to wait until 11th ed drops to allow us to figure out our starting 1,000 pt armies. I was leaning into my Sisters but knowing Space Marines will be one of the first codexes released for 11th, I am thinking of playing Space Marines.  So armed with Crux Terminatus box, all the set charact

Resuming a dormant project

Hi Folks,   It has been a while since I have last worked on my custom Astra Militarum Regiment. As it is based on kit bashed GSC models, it might lead to some confusion with GSC. But I do not play GSC (yet), even if through purchases (for example patrol boxes) I might harvest some sheer GSC models too. And as such it might lead me sooner or later to add enough specific GSC models to align a swiss-knife army. But this is not today’s topic.   Before diving into the scheduling,

I Did Say This Could Happen

My sword is at the Emperor's command. I answer to no other man, living or dead.      - Chapter Master Tu'Shan -  Greetings fraters et sorores!   Well, we've established what I said in the first post, namely that I won't be able to post very often. I just didn't realize it would be four months...    So, let's pray to the Emperor that that's not a precedent for things to come.    Fortunately, this tardiness does not correspond with a massive backlog of project upd

Skeldr Járnvardr - Steeljack Elder

Unlike most Steeljack Elders, who earn their mantle after centuries of service, Skeldr Járnvardr rose to the rank with unprecedented speed. Forged in the crucible of constant conflict after the fall of the Shattered Star Kindred, Skeldr is a product of war’s immediacy rather than its long memory. His frame is newer, sleeker, and tuned for rapid engagement- a Steeljack built not to endure ages, but to dominate the present.   Where older Elders move with ponderous inevitability, Skeldr s
