    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

    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

Knives in the Shadows.... done!

Another hobby progress, this time featuring my Knives in the Shadows kill team, but first I had a few other pieces on my desk to clear before starting on the kill team.     The final piece of my Hivestorm terrain, finished at last.          These are a couple of kitbashed pieces  using the models from my Combat Patrol subscription, the subscriber special Tigurius altered to be used as a chief librarian for my own chapter and the biker chaplain, changed to d

Welcome Flat Gulch - A Marshal never rides alone

Hi Folks,   As a star bearing Marshal never rides alone, he comes down to town with his mobsters. A gang of black trench coated cyborgs fitted to sting you with their dart blasters.     The kit bashed Marshal has been painted as per my now standardized paint scheme so that he (it?) fits in the aesthetic of the rest of the army.   The Secutarii Peltasts were on my rooster for a while now. I took the opportunity of a big hole in my schedule in order to build

Crusade - Game 5 - Down With The Sickness

CRUSADE GAME 5 - TAU VS DEATH GUARD A frank exchange of views.   The third game day in our Crusade began with a more interesting set-up, at least! Outflank against @Agnostic Doggo's Death Guard, with me on the defence. Seems fine, right? Tau gunline, plenty of cover, but this was a rough, but enjoyable one. Lost, in the end, but a fine scuffle.    Fully surrounded? Not with so many Scout/Infiltrate units!   Bit cramped, innit?   Sh

Necromunda: The Rampage of Hive Primus

The Forgeking has been killed. The underhive is in chaos. What little order that was has now been replaced with gangs warring to obtain a piece of his smoke Blackened empire...     Hi all, I'd been thinking about getting into Necromunda for a long time, playing one game in ~2021 or so and getting mashed on a 2x2 board by some corpse grinders, when someone at my local club proposed a new campaign. About 6 of us were interested, and it took off from there.    The star

""A spiritu dominatus, Domine, libra nos"

"The absence of faith is the mark of the heretic."- Ephrael Stern

With the Adeptus Ministorum models coming out for Kill Team: Blood and Zeal, I may really need to revisit my Adepta Sororitas.      With the amount of unpainted models and just the amount of models I have, I can either do them as 2 Orders or One giant order. The 2 Orders I would do are The Order of the Valorous Heart and Order of  Our Martyred Lady. If I go with a single order it will be Valorous Heart.      So I guess I need to build lists....and buy mor

The Strifes of the Matteus Subsector

Defence of Dakota Minor (884M41) II

+++ 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.

AM Not-Stygies - A Blog about building a new Army

A new Marshall in town

Hi folks,   After a while developping my AdMech Aemy, I've reached a point where I can consider that the mustering is now completed. It means that I am now entering in the cycle of Blobbing the army: buying more stuff that I do not necesary need but that I need for FOMO. Or, as an excuse anyone can believe, in order to get more options in order to gain flexibility and align new units adversary are not used too.   A typical example might be 3 Armingers instead of 1l Styrix Kni

Void Dancers: Narrative for "Knives in the Shadows" challenge

Hi Folks,   Today's contribution will be a different one: the narrative due to come along the painted minis for the "Knives in the Shadows" challenge. An exercice I am not very familiar with. Let's see how it sorts out:   ____________________________________________   The master of the Esdainchii was carefully watching at the stage. The troop was jumping and flipping around, dancing a Masque very few had seen played, even among the near immortal Asuryanii. As f

Necro-fun-Da: Rad Reavers Rise

I think I might have shared these already, however since October I've been involed in a Necromunda Campaign at my local club, which has been very fun and rewarding, and captured my imagination, attention and obsession like a GW game hasn't since maybe, mordheim? Early heresy 2.0 is up there also as I collected a brand new Alpha Legion Army.    My blog has so far been primarily battle reports, however none for necromunda so far, so I'll be having a go at typing up reports of my games so

But esoteric musical references from my childhood aside, I am delighted to have a project on my desk that I can share with the community here at B&C! My motivations for this project are simple, a new friend has invited me to play my first 40

All about the base!

Intro   With the Knives in the Darkness Kill Team event looming, I have been assembling my chosen team of Inquisitorial agents with a squad of sisters of silence. The inquisitorial agents I have already built on standard plastic Sector Imperialis bases, but sisters of silence I have left unattached to the bases, as i find with big cloaks such as theirs they are easier to paint when you can get to them from below. Anyway, I decided I would have a go at 3d modelling my own 32mm bases for
