    Dakota Minor Defence Corps (PDF)

    By Mike Zulu

    Introduction Like many established Imperium worlds, Dakota Minor has a planetary defence force simply known the Dakota Minor Defence Corps (or DMDC). Most of its number are conscripted from the local population; a small number of citizens willingly join to escape the tedium of farm life that is prevalent on Dakota Minor. The DMDC is organised in a manner similar to Astra Militarum regiments, albeit more limited in their makeup. For the most part, it consists of dozens of infantry battalions

    AdMech Patrol #2 - Progress report

    By Bouargh

    Blog entries pass and sometimes look like very similar to some previous ones. It is one of the issues when dealing with army building on base of multiples buy outs of the same Patrol Box...   Yet we might eventually expect some variation if the models are fitted in different fashion, ain´t we?   The Onagre DuneCrawler as already been spoiled in the FOrums, but it has been the major progress of the past week so I will "proudly" republish it there. It is also an unhonorable  wa

Brothers of the Mark - Slaughter Class Cruiser - Test Model

BROTHERS OF THE MARK SLAUGHTER CLASS CRUISER - ROLL THE BONES   Festooned with lance and gun batteries, ready to roam the flanks and prey on the weak and vulnerable.   After years of yearning, I've finally started work on my first BFG fleet! It turns out the local BFG community is surprisingly large and active, and possesses a number of very eager 3D printers, happy to print whole fleets for the coast of materials just to help a newcomer like myself get started. Thi

MAY - The calm before the potential (TINY) storm

May has been a relatively quiet month.   I type that realising that it's not exactly a captivating opening to a blog entry and I'm likely to lose many readers immediately. But it is kind of the truth in the context of what this blog is about. The first 4 months of the year have seen fairly gaudy numbers of models in and out of the pile of shame whilst May has seen pretty modest values on both sides. For various reasons (which I will expand on below - oooo what a tease please keep readi

The Aurora

This ship was something of an exercise in perseverance through frustration. Initially this ship was going to be an included, but removable, portion of the display board itself. I had designed a tray which incorporated the base of the ship into a corner of the board, serving as both base for the ship and a transfer tray for the kill-team. I had an IOU 3D print from a kid in my local Kill Team group that I called in to get this ship made, and received assurances that it was an easy print, and I wo

Preparing to go on a Crusade

I’ve completed a Boarding Patrol of my Ashen Sentinels, and once I’ve painted Bladeguard Veterans and Aggressors (next on my painting desk), I’ll have some flexibility as to what I can take for playing that game mode. But the next ‘phase’ of this army is doing a ‘standard’ 2,000 points worth of models. Rather than repeat what I’ve already done, I’ll be painting a different selection of Primaris miniatures and models – and as I do so, I’ll be using them in an ongoing narrative-driven campaign wit

Sanguinius Dice Tray

Made one of these and really like how it turned out after many many people told me they wanted dicetrays with these designs.  So here's the first one, and I love how it turned out. What do you all think?   Love it? Get yours here!  https://www.etsy.com/listing/1738743981/wh40k-themed-dice-tray

Tau expansion.

I've spent a fair bit of time hobbying recently and made some relatively good progress, the main idea was to try and clear the decks ready for the big expansion of my tau army following the release of the new codex and models. I spent most of the previous 2 weeks building , basing and priming the models with the aim of having these ready for the Call to Arms 2024 event on here and as you can see from the image below, I'm pretty much ready to go.      Ready to paint are:

We are vigilance unending!

Well this just happened.....     I guess I have to build a Custodes army for HH now.... Still more to do on the base and well order more Custodes. Unlike my Sisters of Silence this will be a full army.  I plan on painting them Gold like My Knight Abyssal shown here:     But red robes. I think the bases may be more Unique with more than skulls.   So to start the plan is: Shield Captain  Hetaeron Guard Custodian Guard Squad Sent

Introducing the Kids to 40k- a summer project - Preview

A while back my Fiancée was shopping at Target and asked me if I wanted anything. I told her the The Space Marine Board Game. She did pick it up for me.        Not being a Tyranid Player or an Ultramarine player this was an enh purchase for my armies but as an introduction to 40k for my fiancée's adopted sons and my future (step) sons (11, 10, 9, and 8) it felt it would be perfect.  I can build in paint Capt. Titus, the kids can build and paint the Tyranids and then we can pl

Silence is Golden.....

Another weekend has come and gone and well I had to take some extra time off but had to go in and conduct training at work on Sunday.   I started the weekend working on my bases for the Sisters of Silence all 31 of them....     Vallejo White pumice, tile grout and rocks, cut of coffee stir sticks, Pegasus hobbies bricks,  Gale force 9 barb wire, and of course citadel skulls.    Then I started building 5 Prosecutors     I am awaiting the

What do you mean I'm a third done

Due to being off work a week for surgery I've caught up on some modeling      Somewhat depressingly the infantry here are less than a third of the total in my 3000pt list aha.   I'm now off to lazily build 7 whole stormcast models over a weekend

No one expects The INQUISITION!

Here's my my Inquisition based book cover to go with the others I've been doing. 3 skulls with roman numerals for 1, 2, and 3 to represent each ordo.   the Rosette featured proudly in the center.

White Scars Kill-Team and Board

Another slow day at work, another blog post to archive a previous project.  When the Strike Force Justinian Kill Team was announced/revealed I got to work on a conversion. The stock models are fine, but I'm not a big fan of the Ultramarines and didn't feel like shelling out cash when I had most of the models/bits on hand. The one exception I made was for the captain, because I needed both a powerfist/plasma pistol...and white-scars bits to accompany the upgrade kit I'd picked up ages ago on a

Starting off with a finish

I've been wanting to do something like this for a while, and I'm finally pulling the trigger. I want a place to share my work and receive comments on it that isn't one of the socials or discord. Plus I can upload here from work, which is certainly a boon.  Opening project is going to be sharing the progress to date, and completion of, a display board for my take on the Euclidian Starstriders kill team (previously posted in the kill-team channel). I started the board last year, and completed

For the Necron fans (Is Me)

So I sought to pay tribute to the Necron faction as a whole. With the Symbol of the Triarch, the Silent King, and the Infinite as well as the Divine, I laid a good bit of groundwork. What do you all think? The Green is a standard green acrylic The yellowish is actually a fluorescent green.   Let me know which is your favorite! And if you want your own, you can grab it here! https://tomcatlasercreations.etsy.com

A Story of Death or Victory- The Angels of the XIXth Legion Raven Guard Pt1

I am a Rememberacer. My job as given to me by Holy Terra, is that of a documenter, as journalist, if you will. Even as I write this, I wonder if it will be read by others. I am one of lucky few, given the opportunity to join the Emperor’s Great Crusade, as the Legions bring the worlds back under the Emperor’s light. This the story of my time, or better yet, retelling of the battles of that the Angels of the XIXth Legion, Raven Guard, I witnessed. The fleet, XIXth Legion, Raven Guard, 707th Exped

For the last primarch in this series, the warmaster, Horus Lupercal

So this is the last design in my primarch series. All 18/19 are accounted for that we know of, and this last design highlights the transition from the Lunar Wolves to the Sons Of Horus, of the Mournival, of the blade Drachnyen, and of his lightning claws.  I present the design for Horus Lupercal, Warmaster, and Favorite of the sons of the emperor.   “For the Warmaster!”
