    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

    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

""A spiritu dominatus, Domine, libra nos"

"When the people forget their duty they are no longer human......."

".....and become something less than beasts. They have no place in the bosom of humanity nor in the heart of the Emperor. Let them die and be forgotten." Prime Edicts of the Holy Synod of the Adeptus Ministorum   Well I have been slowly working on my Sanctifiers and I am down to building 2 more Preachers      Trying to have all of them with hooded heads.  Colors will be Cream and Red sorta like my painted Inquisition forces

Metal Head Armory Big Game 2025

So my regular opponent @The_Oni_of_Hindsight and I began discussing the 2025 Metal Head Armory (our local gaming group) big game. Last year was Horus Heresy 12,000 points a side  Loyalist Ravenguard (Supreme Commander-Me) Adeptus Custodes (@GameRanma) White Scars World Eaters Traitors Iron Warriors (Supreme Commander @The_Oni_of_Hindsight) Word Bearers Demon Army Dark Mechanicus          
The building uprising of Prawa V

Some notes on the story of Prawa V

So, I've started posting more full scenes on the story. I originally starting to create small vignettes from my originally-written passages but felt they were not conveying everything I was trying to get across. Currently, I'm about six months ahead, in terms of writing progress, of what you see here and I hope you are enjoying it. I never really intended to share my writing, but it is heartening that people enjoy it.   I've made quite a few breaks from the GW Genestealer Cult lore:

And I did not take any photos of what I built.      Confessor, Cherub, Death Cult Assassin, Miraculist, and Salvantionist are built. I hate that the sprues are near the little spikes on the icons. I need to build missionaries and preachers.      Bu

Crusade - Game 6 - Up Close & Personal

CRUSADE GAME 6 - TAU VS WORLD EATERS This keeps happening.   Well, this took a while for me to upload. I've been a little distracted by work, and the irresistible allure of the square base. Shame I can't share any Warhammer Fantasy stuff on here, but it is what it is. I need to get around to making my own actual blog. Anyway, this was the second fight of the day after my game against the Death Guard, giving me a fun Oops! All Chaos! weekend.   Thing is, I'm sta

Kruel, Vile and a not so Silent King

Time for another, thematically unfocused blog entry, as Im trying to stay more active this time.   As said before, and I will probably say it more.. but a lot of my drafts and scribblings that are not commissions are challenges I give myself. The recent leak of Lady Malys made me go through my drafts folder in search for : Its a reinterpretation of the one Dark Eldar character probably never coming back, Kruellagh de Vil. The idea was to reinterpret her as a character that w

The building uprising of Prawa V

The hunt is on

The Fennec lay low beneath the dune’s crest, body pressed into the soft slope, the sand shifting slightly beneath her weight. Through the scope, the desert station played out its quiet, predictable routine. Marek’s Chimera lumbered toward the toll booth, weathered but functional, waved through without question. There it was — the familiar pattern. The complacency.   A flicker of satisfaction stirred within her. The hunt had always held its quiet thrill, but her breathing remained stead

The Fennec

Eventually, the council dispersed. One by one, the squad leaders filed out—quiet nods, exchanged glances, brief murmurs as they returned to the surface. Jagiełło left without ceremony, as he had entered. I remained behind for a few moments, alone in the cellar, the dataslate still warm in my hands.   "You spoke with conviction," came a voice behind me—soft, familiar, and unsettling in how near it was without warning.   I turned. Mona stood at the foot of the stairs, her postu

A casual collection of concepts of corruption.

With the unveiling of Lady Malys I wanted to upload my wyches drafts in a blog entry.. and then noticed I skipped some blog entries I wanted to do before.. and ofcourse now I cant do the wyches before that.. Next attempt to really keep this going commencing.   Many of my blog entries will focus on drafts over my more finished work like the Dark eldar Graea character of the last entry. One reason for this is because drafts will otherwise stay on my computer doing nothing.. another is th

The Resistance Gathers

A bit of a longer post today, but I couldn't decide where would be an appropriate place to break it up. Sorry if it's a slog, but hopefully you enjoy. Constructive criticism is welcome, as always.   The cellar was dry, dark, and cold in the way only stone could be. It had once been used for storage—wine, perhaps, or sealed grain back when the trade station was younger. Now it was quiet, its walls lit by low-burning lamps and the soft hum of activity above. The building that sat atop it

More models inbound!!!!

Well my preorder Kill Team: Blood and Zeal has shipped from GW…on Friday so it will be here Wednesday.   But I just purchased an Ordo Hereticus Battleforce.     Did I need more Battle Sisters squads…maybe.     Did I need another Immolator…maybe.   Did I need more Inquisitorial Agents…probably not.   Did I need another Ministorum Priest…probably not. Did I need another Inquisitor Greyfax…well technically I have not built a stock Greyfax, s

The Crusade Campaign Concludes

The Narrative campaign I've been running at my local gaming group, 'The Forge of Silence', has drawn to a close - it remained very close over the previous couple of months, but it was the Necron team that edged it to a claim a minor victory.   My army's record over the campaign wasn't that great, though I did pick up a couple of wins against a friend's Leagues of Votann army (one of which I felt pretty bad about afterwards 'cause I'd forgotten the battle scars on a couple of units mean

The influence grows

This is a little montage of scenes featuring our narrator over the months since the takeover of Outpost Nowa Avestia showing his growth as the squadron's new, and until then, inexperienced sergeant. It shows, also, the slow and subtle growth of the Resistance's s influence on the every day people.   The toll booth stood hunched against the desert wind, a squat collection of hab-blocks and a corrugated checkpoint arch draped with faded banners. The squad passed through without issue, helme

The Principia Libertas of Frater Tyler: Introduction

The tabletop miniature wargaming hobby is a fascinating diversion, combining elements of history (or lore), artistry, craftsmanship, gaming, and socializing. Originating in historical wargames firmly grounded in the real world, the hobby has since expanded to include imaginative and fantastical settings, broadening its appeal. Where historical wargamers might devote considerable time to researching their chosen forces, assembling and painting their chosen forces with painstaking attention to det

The building uprising of Prawa V

The months pass by

In the months that followed the firefight, the desert outpost changed—and so did I.   At first, it was small things. The way the squad looked to me before moving. The quiet nods from older troopers who had once only taken orders from Rakoczy. They called me 'sergeant' now. I still wasn’t used to it, but I stopped flinching every time I heard it.   The Cult dug in, not with banners and bullets, but with quiet persistence. New faces appeared at Salvager’s Row—traders with whisp

The building uprising of Prawa V

A glimpse into the future

I'd like to say thank you to those who have been following the story of Prawa V. I appreciate your support. I've been writing about Prawa V and the 280th since the latter half of last year and I am way ahead of the passages I have posted here.  I've found my writing has significantly improved over the past few months and I've also drifted away from writing the little vignettes as I feel I cannot convey everything I want in them. Thus, I am writing longer, fuller texts now and would welcome your
