    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

    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

    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

"Primarch-Progenitor, to your glory ..."

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

The Forgotten, a Fallen warband on Crusade

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

The Enemy does not sleep, nor shall we. - Chapter I part 5

"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

The Enemy does not sleep, nor shall we. - Chapter I part 4

The air was thick with lasbolt rounds from lasrifles, las pistols, multilaser off the chimera, auto rounds from autoguns and auto pistols, Heavy stubber rounds, solid slug rounds from the combat shotgun as the unknown assailants and the Vigilant squad 83 and Marshal Mat Dylon engaged each other. It felt like thirty minutes of combat had passed but it was less than 2 minutes since the gunfight had started.       "Vigilant Phard, I know your busy, with this gunfight, but anything on Comm

Planning CtA25

Hi folks,   The announcement of a resuming of the Call to Arms’ challenge for the third consecutive year has set my mind in turmoil. Every year this event is a key incentive to reach new milestones in completing assembly and painting of these numerous minis stuck in Piles of Shames.   For me 2023 has unlocked a very serious progress: I resumed an Aeldarii project stopped at least a decade before Crafworlders changed from Eldars to Aeldarii. This cleaned part of my backlog and

The Enemy does not sleep, nor shall we. - Chapter I part 3

"Planetary Governor Augulant, Planetary Governor Augulant," screamed Governor's Senior comms operator Van Der Flint as he ran down the hall.      Mord Van Der Flint and his family has been serving the Planetary Governor and his family for centuries. Mord has known Corvin Augulant since they were kids and have been friends since then. While Corvin left for to the PDF, Mord went into the family business. Eventually Corvin took over as Planetary Governor and saw his old friend, Mord, he

Iron Hands Rhino

I have finished up a 5th rhino for my Iron Hands:    I've gone with a different dozer blade and a havoc launcher on this one as it is for the Graviton Shredder Support Squad so it stands out and I don't lose track of them. The Havoc Launcher provides a bit of anti-infantry firepower to a squad which is very anti-tank focussed. As I can only run the Graviton Shredder squad in a Head of the Gorgon list, this will only get a run out then (unless I buy some plasma guns or something t

Jetbike Command Squad

I finally finished my jetbike command squad for my Iron Hands using the now OOP Iron Hands Mark III Torsos, Shoulder Pads, and Heads:    Their weapons and shields come from a variety of sources:  1. The power maul on the left model as you look at the photo is from the new 30k melee weapons upgrade set.  2. The power fists are from the Mark IV kit.  3. The banner is from the old Cadian Command Squad with the detailing filed off and a brass rod as the banner pole.

Land Raider Proteus

I have also assembled and started painting a Land Raider Proteus fto carry around my Gorgon Terminators (this is the only shot I have of it right now). The Cataphractii Terminators will be in the Phobos so I won't forget which unit is in which transport on the tabletop.    I have to say this is a much nicer kit to put together than the Phobos Land Raider, the parts just fit together much better. I have started painting and will post a photo of the progress soon.

Militia Discipline Master

I have kitbashed up a discipline master for the militia, this guy is made up of 3d printed legs (I do not know the STL I got them from a friend), the laspistol arm from the now OOP Krieg HQ command squad, a closed greatcoat torso, veteran beret head and power axe (all from Anvil), and the Scion coat.      I have had to greenstuff the waist joint a bit as the 3d printed legs were slightly larger than Anvil or old GW Cadian legs but it is not noticeable now that the model has

The Enemy does not sleep, nor shall we. - Chapter I part 2

Marshal Mat Dylon of the Adeptus Arbites 8th Precinct on Khymara Prime sat in the transport area of the wheeled Chimera. Vigilant Squad 83 sat with him. Vigilant Proctor Yin Pliskec was sitting across from Marshal Mat Dylon, his winged helmet on his lap. His black armor, while normally shiny, was showing some damage from a recent encounter against a gang ambush, as was the entire squad. Dented and scarred armour, green fatigues torn.  Vigilant Proctor Pliskec shaved head had beads of sweat rolli

"We cannot afford mercy for any of its victims too weak to take the correct course. Mercy destroys us; it weakens us and saps our resolve. Put aside all such thoughts. They are not worthy of Inquisitors in the service of Our Emperor. Praise His name for in our resolve we only reflect his purpose of will."   The Book of Exorcisms, the Verses of Inquisitor Enoch     This past weekend, I had 2 games with my Grey Knights against Emperor's Children (win) but tabled and

2 games down....Time to shelve Grey Knights for a little bit

Had 2 games this Saturday   1st game Emperor's Children I won 6-2 but was tabled photos can be seen here   2nd Game was against World Eaters, Lost 3-1....severely wounded Dreadknight Geraint choosing to leave the battlefield after turn 2 here   Grey Knights need lots of help. Points are way too high, and damage output too low.  So until Codex is released, they have to be shelved.

The Exorcists- Enochian Guard

The Enochian Guard is an elite formation of Orisons* in the Exorcists Chapter. Making up the Veterans of the Chapter's 1st Company, they typically are equipped with Terminator Armour. The Guard is named after Enoch Trismegistus, the Exorcists very first Chapter Master. The Enochian Guard pride themselves on being Daemon slayers, and membership to its numbers carries a requirement of having slain a manifested Daemon in single combat.   So I keep running the idea of running Exorcist
