    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

    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

New edition, new army...maybe?

So with the dawn of 11th edition Warhammer 40,000 coming this June. I have been pondering about maybe starting a new project. My Tyranids are basically done, I probably won't be adding more unless there's some drastic changes. My Space Marines and World Eaters are in playable states, they might get some additional stuff but I'm in no rush to complete them fully. My traitor guard are kinda in a holding pattern state. I ordered some non GW traitor guard infantry from game found (similar to Kicksta

Howling Griffons- 1st Company Project- pt4

Well back from vacation and I did not accomplish my goal of 20 Terminators and 4 Teleport homers......   I came up short by 1 box of Terminators and a teleport homer.         And I built the Ballistus Dreadnought too. He may have some small arms battle damage started and need to do more to him. I brought plastic cement and Super glue with me. Well I thought the super glue was a new bottle but is was not and was bad so I could not work on the their
Ashen Sentinels - an Ultima Founding Space Marine Chapter

I’ve been in a hobby slump, and that’s ok.

Greetings Fraters, this is a different sort of update from me - it’s an update of, well, very little or no progress. Basically, I’ve struggled with my motivation to paint over the last month-to-six weeks.    There are a few reasons for this; the biggest is that we had a bereavement in the family a couple of months ago. We lost a very close family member following a long and determined fight against cancer; so it was a loss that was expected, but nonetheless difficult. Honestly, if anyone

An update for plogging along

Hi folks,   One quarter of 2026 has been spent already, and it is a good moment for stopping 5 minutes and considering the progress made on my plodding along project. And the way that remains to be walked.   The project has been defined as a starting point as a scenery project, mainly directed toward addition of scenery elements to my home-made set of items for an Ashland themed table. I wanted to add some elevation to a rather flat design. My main idea was to focus on a big

Diorama finished

Finished up the diorama, Unexpected Finds, which was painted in about 3 days over six/seven hours. I now know why the really good painters do things in sections, as getting into some of the areas was not easy and I had to do more clean-up than I wished. Still happy with it, especially since it was basically a "free" diorama that I was able to put together with leftover/unused kits that were sitting around my hobby space.     Up next for painting is finishing my

An inventory for some of existing Terrain kits - Part III

Hi Folks,   And what about homemade terrain? I have started talking about it there:   In general anything special and personnal (in terms of scenery) will require being able to adapt oneself, find new solutions by proposing taylor made templates… an example bellow is my elevated road; it requires 3 large rectangle templates. Very specific? May be, unless we will require adapting ourselves to this new rule setting. But does it needs to be depicted as a terrain? Maybe rules wi

The Terror and The Truth

The Pale Wake

He crouched in the alleyway, damp palms pressed against the crumbling walls on either side. There was something here; something that didn't belong in his world of narrow alleys, creaking shanty houses, and bellowing manufactorums. It wasn't the gangs like the Razor Kids, or the Pain-Jacks, wasn't any of the obscura-freaks or ghast-heads.    No, this was something worse. It was here in the dark, the sideways tunnels that were avoided by the drug workers and the Lexmen. It had been here

Hi Folks,   This is the second entry related to the topic. First can be found here:     1.      Vertigus, Bheta-Decima and Charadon – Mechanicus sector like stuff Generally speaking all items from these series will fit the templates. There are however some comments. First about gantries: if they fit the largest line, the amount of these is rather imited atm and as such the over representation of gantries will tend to disappear of be reduced. Unless it is comb

Changing up the blog slightly

So I've decided to move over all of my Chaos stuff to this blog, rather than just focus on just the Shrikeborn. Since I plan on now combining the Shrikeborn and Ebon Word in-game, I will combine them into this blog instead of having a blog for the Shrikeborn and a WIP forum thread for the Ebon Word.    That means that I will slowly be moving over pics and lore from the Ebon Word thread into distinct posts into this blog. Since I do have a couple of fully painting Ebon Word units, they

Hi Folks,   While I have had an insight on the potential impact of the teased terrain area templates shared by GW on WarCom (#New40k – Take cover with updated terrain rules) and in line with the rule changes for 11th, I kept on playing with my mobile phone and cardboard templates, just to see how my more “corporate” pieces of terrain fit in this whole perspective. Let’s have a look.   1.      Battle for Maccrage One of my favorite set. The crashed Aquilla lander was one

I'll be back......

So tomorrow the Wife and I are leaving for a weekend away from the kids. We have rented a cabin with a private hot tub and are doing an unplugged weekend. She was very specific and said books and hobbies only. Electronics limited, my army building apps are fine but not sure how the cell service will be and it does have Wi-Fi, but not the point of an unplugged weekend. So I packed up basing supplies, bases, models, glues, tools, etc.   But what is with the Terminator References....the "

Votann, DA, Necromunda, and Inquisition weirdos

Just got some bits in and went on a little building spree. Included in the order was a single stele from the Necron Convergence of Dominion- did not really realize how big they were. It will still work for the base of my Nigthbringer count-as, but might just have to make the angle it is resting on a little more extreme, as it being 7 inches tall itself means that it is almost as big as the Nightbringer alone. So, that is on my project log to potentially get done next month.  The rest of the orde

Madmen. Charging, snarling transhumans turned into raving beasts that spoke of nothing but blood and skulls. Revving chainblades and jagged steel swung from their gene-enhanced forms.   World Eaters. Astartes touched by the Chaos power known as Khorne. No strategy but to charge and hew. Unfortunately it would work this time, as the attack struck the Gardhird before an adequate plan could be implemented. The only thing left was to delay the attack and retreat with as many resources as p

Trajectory control – Scenery project and new rules

Hi Folks,   What happens when your compass indicates that you are slowly drifting from your set course? You adjust your rudder… When it deals with scenery making, drifting is synonym of new rules for terrain features due to new edition.   But is it really a set of new rules? Shall we look at these with attention (on the basis of the extracts of info we got so far) it is not really that of a new thing: terrain area existed prior. It is more that the rules looks like they are

Niklas Raymi - Ordo Machinum Inquisitor - High Xenophobe.

Hi folks,   I am still working on my bitz box cleaning. While I have focused on the major volumes (Paretto approach) in the initial stages, while I get closer from the end of the pile, I have changed my scheduling approach, working on some small, sometimes self standing, miniatures. I have for example a lonely Ork, a ooP CSM Raptor sergeant… and parts of the original Cypher miniature. Parts as I miss the plasma pistol and the back-pack. The latter has been used on a SM kitbashed Chapla

A little fun

So, I've been far too serious with my writing. I wanted a little fun. This is a passage about 329. It's as cheesy as you like. It was quite fun to go all in, full bore, to absolutely ham it up with the best of them. It was quite enjoyable.   So, take it for what it is - an overblown passage glorying in the totally over-the-top narrative. Thoughts most welcome!   =====    The first sign was the light.   It came on above the bunker doors without warni

Foe-Ender

Skeldr Jarnvardr made a mechanical grunt. The E-COG affixing his new ankle beeped an interrogative and Skeldr waved it away. Ironkin did not really feel pain, but to make their fleshy companions more at ease they tended to utilize similar vocal signifiers during such times. It brought both halves of the Kin together, wielded them to each other. In the Solbond Gardhird, such things were not necessary but were still practiced.   The Steeljack Elder looked around at the Iron-Master's doma
