    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

    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

    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 building uprising of Prawa V

Mødet med nomaderne - Meeting with the nomads

Firstly, my apologies for any errors in my Danish. I am far better at Polish! I hope these three passages help to bring to life the different waves of settlers who arrived on Prawa V over the centuries. I also hope it deepens the mystery of Mona a little. As always, comments, criticism, etc. most welcome. Thank you.   If you're interested in pronunciation, it's Jagiełło (yah - gee - eh - woh - soft G), Stenrik (steen - rik), Kasnyk (cash - nik - yes, I am aware I've missed out the accent
The building uprising of Prawa V

We need to talk about Marek

The vault walls were old steel, streaked with oxidation and reinforced with thick slabs of desert-cut stone. Lamplight traced long shadows across maps, dataslates, and supply manifests scattered over a folding table at the centre of the room.   “They found him slumped in the runner,” she said, voice soft. “Or, at least, what remained. No one heard the shot.”   “They weren’t meant to.” Jagiełło didn’t look up from the slate he was reviewing. He paused. "The round was designed

Aether sailing - Part I

Hi Folks,   It has been a while since I touched to my Dark kins.   My initial motivation was guided by the reinforcement of my (old, very old) Aeldarii army. My plan was to go Ynnarii and add a tactical depth brought by the deep striking Dark Eldars plus some signature units such as Scourges and Mandrakes. The plan was blown away by the Release of the Aeldarii codex. Which left me with some minis unbuilt and waiting in the pile of shame.    I decided it was tim

The Forgotten, a Fallen warband on Crusade

Phase 1 - The outline

This is a quick outline of what happened during Phase 1 of the campaign. Pics are there, but not great (apologies, I am terrible), and this is more of a stream of concious/AAR that I did for the campaign rather than anything really organized or story-like. I will work on some sort of in-character updates later.     Phase 1 Special campaign rules - Started off at 1k points games, increasing by 250 every two games. Start off with 6XP given to a single character (Xaphan took all

Patrol day 2

Grand Master De Sonnec and Inquisitor Rork, meet with Sgt Magdalene of the Langham 13th. Sgt Magdalene was grizzled old Sgt with white hair, and no nonsense attitude.    The first stop on the patrol was speaking with an Imperial Fist Captain Eaton at the “Tower”. The “Tower” was more of heavily armed and armored Fortress in True Sons of Dorn fashion. The “Tower” was able to defend the entire city if needed. And was also right against the River crossing the city    Next was a vis

The Aftermath

Lieutenant Kasnyk leaned forward, monocle interface flickering green as he parsed the packet’s structure. A transmission, incomplete. Encrypted but within protocol. Origin: Marek Sobczak, Sergeant. Timestamp: early hours, local time. Location: near the southern ridge. That alone should have been routine.   But Marek was dead.   The initial report had come through the PDF relay chain an hour earlier — Sergeant Sobczak found in his runner, chest perforated by unknown fire. No w

The First Patrol.

After donning his suit of Terminator armor, Grand Master Wilhelmina De Sonnec of the 2nd Brotherhood of Grey Knights met with Ordo Malleus Inquisitor Sasha Rork for a morning meal.   ”We have a long day ahead of us, so please have some nourishment, Grand Master,” requested Inquisitor Rork.   ”yes , ma’am,” replied Grand Master De Sonnec.   Inquisitor Rork briefed Grand Master De Sonnec on the plans of the day. Routine patrol of important areas with the walls of the

This is not The End

So, spoiler for this - this is not the end I plan for my band of Resistance fighters. I was just tinkering with ideas for them, but I thought you might like to see. It's a short passage, but you can see how they are all bonded, even 329 spins up for the fight. Thoughts most welcome.   The sun didn’t rise that morning. Not properly. Just a bruised smear above the horizon, like the sky was ashamed to look us in the eye. We stood in the courtyard — the last open ground before the fallback p

Marek's Report

The wind tore at them as the Valkyrie dropped into the canyon, its engines shrieking against the tight walls. Dust and gravel whipped into the air, reducing the world to a swirling maelstrom outside the armoured glass of the troop compartment. Kasnyk stood, swaying with the turbulence, one gloved hand gripping a restraint overhead as he stared through the side viewport. The canyon was exactly as it had been described in the geological surveys — a deep scar in the desert, sheer cliffs of win

Thunderhawk has arrived

The Grey Knight Thunderhawk touched down safely after launching from the Inquisitorial Black Ship Phoenix. Ordo Malleus Inquisitor Sasha and Grand Master De Sonnec exited the ramp and were met by Inquisitorial Agent Satri. Taking them to the waiting Inquisitorial Chimera, Agent Satri transported them to Inquisition hold Langham for the next few days. The Langham 13 Black Guard greeted the Inquisitor and Grand Master. After getting situated in their quarters, Inquisitor Sasha and Grand Master De

The Iron Duke

This series of three four passages is a lot longer than I have posted in the past and I hope you have the patience to read it. I feel it is quite revealing about our three main character, our Narrator, Mona, and Jagiełło.   Constructive criticism always welcome, of course.   -----   The engineers worked with steady purpose. The charges were placed meticulously, each bundle of explosives hugging the seams and structural weak points where ancient metal met equally anc

The Nuts and Bolts- the Crusade list and general gameplan

A quick look at my Forgotten Crusade force. As of now (4/21) we are in our fourth week of Phase 1 of the Nachmund Campaign, about to go to Phase 2, each phase being four weeks. I don't intend to add anything to this force, as we are doing a growing-style crusade with increasing points limits (1k/1k/1.25/1.25/1.5/1.5, etc..) going up to 2k for the start of phase 3. Unless something changes and we go beyond the 2k, I think I'm good at where I'm at, but you never know...   Total Crusade S

The Suriel - Oathsworn Terminators of the Forgotten

"They came in a shattering impact. Thunder and lightning rang from the center of our camp. All was quiet for a moment as we turned and saw a crackling dome of light fade into the air. From that dome came no sound, then the terrible roar of bolters.    The bolts slammed into men near me, turning them into mere memories of living beings. Limbs sprang from torsos, heads disappeared. The firepower was well targeted in taking down our heavy weapons first, then moving on to the company banne

The Strifes of the Matteus Subsector

Defence of Dakota Minor (884M41) III

+++ INTRODUCTION +++   The Defence of Dakota Minor was a series of conflicts in 884M41, that saw the Imperium defending the Matteus Subsector’s primary food provider against invaders. With only a token battlefleet and planetary defence force to protect it, Dakota Minor was expected to fall to the invaders in less than three months. Fortunately, intervention by local Astra Militarum regiments and the Adeptus Astartes saw the invasion quelled and the planet secured for the Imperium.

New magii onboard

Hi folks,   A small update for my AdMech force with the addition of two new mages. The ones prevuously teased for their weapon swap and limited customization.     These lads complete my coterie of Technomagii, with a grand total of 3 Manipulus and 2 Dominus (plus an Abeyant used as count as). It is therefore a full mobilization, 3oo3 for each entry.      The Manipulus shows some (very) subtle colour changes with my rpevious models, not only

“but we must also guard the Emperor.” - Sermons, volume XIV chapter I- Sebastian Thor   Well it took a little bit but I finally got the Sanctifiers built.      I am not sure when they will be primed or painted but they are built. Need to focus on getting Grey Knights ready for 1500 point games, which is just painting a Nemesis Dreadknight and new weapons for dreadnought. But I will keep working on Adepta Sororitas in between.   Ave Imperator

The Head of the Beast - the leaders of the Forgotten

Xaphan the Castigator, Dark Apostle "Never forget our dead. Never forget the betrayals against us. We are Forgotten, those who will remind this stagnant Imperium that the past is not dead and buried, but alive and hating."   Xaphan is the core of the current Forgotten warband. Charged by Grand Master Beleth to disturb the Nachmund Gauntlet, Xaphan is on a mission to destroy Imperial faith and morale. He believes that the Forgotten, in conjunction with the mercenary Night Lords and

"We are the Hammer!"

“I am His sword as He is my armour” Vol 2 Part 2

So there I was working on my Adepta Sororitas  painting my Retributors and building my Sanctifiers (which are finally done). Next thing I know, my Adepta Sororitas are back in display cabinet and Grey Knights are on the table! They just teleported on to my desk…I swear.    See I swore. Truth is I love my Adepta Sororitas army, and Monday my wife and I leave for the UK, Scotland, and Ireland for almost 3 weeks and I don’t want them lying around in our office in case of little hands or p

Terrain Pegasus Hobbies Ruined Gothic Building

I bought this Pegasus Hobbies piece years ago. I painted it in basic gray colors and used it in a few dozen games. Last year, I and a comrade decided to level it up. I hope you like it. The original building had an open top. This was covered in plasticard. A building from Age of Sigmar was added. Then texture paste and some random bits were added to the rooftop.   The model got a new coat of paint followed by a heavy wash. I can't remember if it was Nuln or Agrax Earthshade. A spong

The Start- My hobby journey, how the Forgotten came to be, and a new beginning

Hello and thank you for looking at this little blog. It will be about my Forgotten, a Heresy-era Dark Angels force that has taken a bit of a journey to become what it now is- a Chaos Marine force in a local Nachmund Gauntlet Crusade campaign. This first entry is most likely to be the most boring, with no pics or lore or gameplay, just a winding story of how the force came to be. So, if you aren't interested in the self-indulgent personal history digression of a middle-aged hobbyist, feel free to

The building uprising of Prawa V

Marek returns to the outpost

Nowa Avestia loomed ahead, washed in the pale glow of the setting sun. Marek sat atop the Chimera’s hull, arms folded, eyes scanning the familiar silhouette of the outer walls. The station was as he’d left it — quiet, unassuming. Yet, as the squad dismounted and rolled through the gates, something gnawed at the back of his thoughts. The yard should have been busy. The 280th, ever a fixture at the outpost, were nowhere to be seen. No idle banter, no groups lingering near the vehicle bays. Marek’s
