    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

    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

    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 Gnostari Dominion - The Ironkin March

Kayhrim Myrr - Einhyr Champion

Kayhrim is a fierce warrior and leader among the Gnostari Dominion's ranks of Einhyr. A member of the Shattered Star Kindred, she takes a personal affront to the loss of any organic Kin life that occurs. Her rage and fury, unusual for an Ironkin, have driven her to thrown herself time and again into desperate last stands and near-hopeless rescue actions.      Currently Champion Kayhrim Myrr is leading a unit of Einhyr in Kahl Tybarr Seykyr's Hearthband, under the banner of Hi

The Gnostari Dominion - The Ironkin March

The Dominion and its armies

The League The Kin of the Gnostari Dominion have suffered great tribulations in their recent history, making them an unusual example of their kind. For millennia, the Dominion had been considered an archetypical League; mercantile, industrious, and dedicated to expanding their knowledge and holdings. All that changed in M38 (in Imperium dating), when an unknown contagion struck one of the Gnostari Kindreds, Tral's Shatter Star Kindred. This plague ravaged all of the biological Kin in the Sh

"We are the Hammer!"

"To the righteous we bring hope. To the tainted we bring fire." —Castellan Garran Crowe

"Garran Crowe is a castellan of the Grey Knights Chapter and a notable hero of that elite and highly secret unit of the Adeptus Astartes. Castellan Crowe is both the head and Brotherhood Champion of the Purifier Order.   A nobler exemplar of the Grey Knights would be impossible to find -- by the measure of the Grey Knights, Crowe is a flawless soul, not so much resistant to the temptations of Chaos as immune to them. It is well that this is so, for Garran bears a burden greater than an

"Our will shall be our weapons, our faith shall be our armour." Part 1

True Scale Grey Knights Project Log*   So this will be the start of my True Scale Grey Knights.  I was resistant to doing a True Scale Grey Knight army, but as more models are redone the tiny scale wore me down.  So I'll be running the Crusade with @The_Oni_of_Hindsight for our group in February 2026. So to have the models ready I have to get a start sooner than later.  So I have been getting the pieces ordered or purchased.         So here is the projected bui

"We are the Hammer!"

‘I am not people. I am a Grey Knight!"

So my Gaming Group/ Club Metal Head Armory  moves into month 3 of the LGS Heresy Slow Grow League, as individuals outside of playing each other in the League games we have lost every game.  But some of them are epic fun loses.    We have 4 more months to go but we are looking for our next Club game. We were thinking Horus Heresy at first but we have decided to play 40k instead but more specifically playing Crusade.    @The_Oni_of_Hindsight - League of Votaan @HeiYu13

DISCLAIMER: If you though I had any political intent, you have been lured into my Blog ( and the title works as intended ). And now that you arrived here, well, feel free reading to the end; after all you have already made the difficult part…   Hi folks,   This is an ode to my (almost new) Dremel 3000.     I have been the happy and satisfied owner of a bargain Chinese rotary tool that served me well for two decades. And one day the reduction gear broke. I

Kill Team - Outreach

Outreach Session After Action Report

So after a delay, the outreach session finally took place today. Despite how much I suck (more on that later), I think it went very well.   So how do I suck?   The overall summary of my suckiness is that I allowed myself to be distracted by other things. Admittedly, some of those were Real Life things and far more important than the game, but a significant chunk of the time I should have been devoting to preparing for the big day was devoted to some site stuff. I'm kind of ex

Servitors energized

Hi folks,   I needed some distraction from the black robes of my (populous and numerous) Night Goblins for the World that Was. Time to resume work on the AdMechs, starting with the Servitor clade and the kitbashed Seer I prepared in Sept. It is a small step into coming back into the fray of cybernetical sociopaths, knowing that I still have some models I initially bought for CtA25 but did not unbox yet.   The Servitors have been painted as per my usual colour scheme. But this

"Disrupt the Enemy Lines!" Part 19

Well the next 500 points (1000 pts of HH done!) are done minus some chipping, weathering and black base rings.      Next 500 pts (1500 pts) is already started and should be done quickly but I need to double check my 2000 pt list to see what I am planning on taking. This month, October, is super busy between events on multiple weekends and working weekends when I am not "out of town". New Opponents and missions are listed tomorrow, so I need to really finish my round 3 Models

Bits, Prints, and Progress

In my last blog post I talked a bit about the inspiration for this project and the main theme, which is treating the new Mark X armour as just the next stage in power armour development without needing to involve Primaris Marines.   With that in mind, I’ve started raiding the bits box and digging into my stash of 3D-printed parts to come up with a test model for the project. The plan is to use standard Mk X Tacticus armour for the basic squads, and then mix in parts from older armour m

Long time no news

Hi folks.   When I’ve started this blog, which turned out into THESE blogS when the topics were split and redistributed within distinct categories, my aim was getting approx. one contribution per week. Sometimes it has been more. But recently it turns out being less. But what happened? Boredom? Real life issue? Stepping out of the hobby? Or something else.   Something else in fact. Or some things else. As it looks like it is a series of factors. But what is the root caus

"Not just a psyker, a mirror psyker, that rarest of rare beasts."- Ravenor on Zael

Horus Heresy has been taking up a lot of my hobby time. And that is not a bad thing. I do really like my Raven Guard with a planned Sisters of Silence allied force. I am also building Solar Auxilia (eventually- have the models) and building all my Mk II/ Mk III and Saturnine stuff into Space Wolves. The Space Wolves will take some time because of the amount of conversions.  My group has started discussing playing 40k again. So with me messing with Space Wolves, I looked into maybe potentially pl

Weekend Horus Heresy Update

I did not get as much done as I wanted but I need to get my Raven Guard done for round 2 of my League game.      need to finish browns, metallics, bases, decal and weather.....in 4 days.    Continued building my Space Wolves Praetor as well.     almost to the point where I need to story doing gap filling and sculpting Wolf pelts.

Wójek, the Guardian

Hi all,   I wrote this small scene as an experiment. It features a man guarding the nursery in Nowa Avestia, the headquarters of the Resistance. Now, I will confess, it is a little self-indulgent as the name Wójek is what my Polish little goddaughter and nieces call me - it means "uncle". My heart melts a little when they call me that.   If I decide to include this in the story of Comes The Sandstorm, he'll only appear in this one scene, otherwise I think it'll become redunda

Horus Heresy Updates

I really have been focused on my HH Raven Guard. With the Saturnine Box I was planning on doing Deathguard with all the Mk II and Mk III's I had. The Saturnine stuff is sitting around as I have been getting Solar Auxila for an Armored Company, which was going to be Therion Velites (Legionnes Auxila for Raven Guard),     But I have decided to go with Tallarn Reborn, not parade ready, lots, of stowage and weathered.      As I go down this trail further, I am

League army update.

A WIP update working through my squads. I felt that the blue on the Bladeguard (previous blog entry) was a bit too "bright" on the blue, so I've changed up the recipe, and now I've gone with Naggaroth Night base, light colour as MacCragge Blue, and blended back with Vallejo Dark Prussian Blue (the darkest blue I had). So I'm happy with that, as I don't want the colour shift to be too prominent in that the army looks blue rather than the purple I want. Edge highlights are Teclis blue or Genesteal
