    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

    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

    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

Severed's Retro Crimson Fist Army

Tactical Squad Sgt

Had to completely strip and repaint the model after a rather horrible varnishing incident. Gave him the older mk 4 power sword as it had a more RT tech look than the more gothic looking power swords. Also gave him a wrist mounted bolt pistol from a blood angels kit, to make him look more like the cover art on RT book.

Malum Vigilia color scheme

Its nothing really special, but after like a year of working on the Vigilia, I finally ordered some miniatures and some paint.  I have two intercessors on the way and this is going to be the actual color scheme.  It will look better on the model (I hope!) and the Main grey color here is actually supposed to be "Iron Warriors" not "Eshin Grey" but i was too lazy to find the right hex.  They're kind of super not flashy, but that's the whole deal.  I'm excited to start painting.

Retro marines and Necron lord

I have been away for a bit due to work, but browsing ebay the other day I found a classic emperors champion going cheap. This was a model I always wanted when I was younger but as it was an event exclusive (I think?) I never got my hands on it. It was a fun guy to paint and was the first real opportunity for me to try out some scale 75 necro gold that I got my hands on. Absolutely lovely paint, colour is gorgeous and its a joy to paint with. Them figure itself was a bit of a nightmare to clean u

Tie miniature to a base

I don't know who this can help, but still I have used several ways to tie a miniature to the base.  First and most common is a weathering.  You use same color/pigment to weather base and lower part of miniature.  It's easy and work nice for most cases. For example my plague Marines, I use their grime and liquids to tie them to base.  Except you don't want dirty miniature or it's on flying stem.    Second one is a miniature's  falling shadow on the base. It's link mini without
Combat Patrolling the Galaxy

By your CPs combined....

Work has been a little busy, so no detailed battle reports. I have been getting in games at both the local Warhammer store (they host a semi-weekly CP day) and my FLGS. All against new players, which I did get to see the balancing of the different patrols. I faced both the Assault force and the Vengeful Brethren CPs. I used the Bane-Slayer Bulwark, Vanderghhast Swarm as well as did mirror matches. I did win both mirror matches, which I buck up to experience. Both opponents were a little disheart

K's Salamanders - Unbound Flame

A Bit of Story

In the fire of battle is peace forged - Proverb of the Salamanders Chapter-   Greetings Fraters et Sorores,    I've long had a vague idea of what my army's story should be. I like it when my forces have a little background. A little place in the setting that's theirs as much as it's mine. As a first founding chapter, the Salamanders are a little more difficult to do that with. I can't write up a whole culture from nothing, nor command structure, nor broad strokes of hist

Come on, we're not that old...

Is this thing on?

This is going to be a mess. I haven't blogged in forever. Last time, I think, was in 2013, and that was just before I left Greece and migrated to the UK. My head feels like an open filling cabinet, who someone forgot outside during a tornado. And I think a kid swallowed the keys as well.   A while back, I saw a video from a youtuber where he said something that resonated with me so much, that I am now carrying it with me as a scar. Very few things stay with me these days; when you grow

What Do I Need to Buy to Finish My Army?

I was originally saving my money for a Telemon Dreadnought, but with the September price increase looming, I thought I would try and add some more stuff to the army.   Any advice you can give would be super helpful.   Here's what I have right now:   1 × Shield Captain with Sword and Shield    5 × Custodian Guard with Sword and Shield    5 × Custodian Guard with Spears   1 × Caladius Grav-tank    1 × Contemptor-Achillus Dreadno

I’m pleased with how these guys turned out.  They act as “Sergeants” to my battleline berserking units who play as Death Company.  My chapter are non psyching rejects of Grey Knights with a Zen Buddhism vibe.  I’m not a fan of the look of GW chaplains so these Inner circle companions with the Steampunk old skool knight helmets and hoods made from green stuff.  To make them wysiwyg I added some aftermarket maces.  I shaved off some of the more ostentatious bits of the models and glued those extra

CtA 26 -Pteraxii

Hi Folks,   This summer of 26 is really to be marked as an awful era for painting. With all the heat waves (and no climatization), a large amount paints has dried out and my hobby productivity as dropped down. Over the past 5 weeks or so I have managed to paint from scratch a little bit less than 10 models: 5 dwarves for ToW and 5 Pteraxii.   But wait a minute. 5 Pteraxii? Weren’t these a part of my pledge for CtA26? Yes, they are. And they also were the last minis still undo

Requesting Color Scheme Painting Assistance for Ghostodes

Okay, I've decided on a Grey Seer primer, an all over wash of Hexwraith Flame  and finally a light to medium drybrush of Uluthuan Grey.   How's this sound? Hopefully,  it works out...   Now here's my problem. Im going to make the cloak of my Ghostly Valoris red like the King of the Dead.    How do I do that, without making it clash with the rest of the model?

Plague Marines: caster

To be honest, I don't really like this miniature; something feels off. I tried to make the metal dull and added dirt and grime. But I'm not sure how well it turned out.  I'm generally not a fan of dirt on miniatures, as it usually obscures the model itself. Here, I tried to make the dirt visible without obscuring the main paint job.

Thallaxia

Thallaxia Chapter 1 Flame was all around him.  The transport slammed into the ground at rapid speed, and the undercarriage began to peel away as they dragged.  Explosions rolled in series from the direction of the impact, before the ship caught on something, and began to tumble.  On its third roll the ship came to a sharp halt, and Lukan became pinned in the wreckage.  He was wounded, something pierced his armor.  Fires grew around him.  He only felt the pain as he looked down to see it, a j

Blood Spelunking!

Blood Spelunking Prologue The Veyrfall Temple of Water was still once. The waters came from cracks in the stone high up and tumbled down the many rings of walkways that lined the temple walls. It would flow so perfectly one might mistake it for glass. It cascaded down the stone work, gathering into scores of reflecting pools that filled and drained at a constant rate, giving the appearance of a rippling sheet. The flow continued to the grotto below that burbled with springs and geysers, sprea

Death Guard

I painted this guy not too long ago. I've had a bit of a love-hate view of the Death Guard. I like the body horror elements in spite of not actually being a "body horror guy", but I really don't care for the cartoonish dancing Nurgling vibe. Thus the slight compromise of painting the Marine minus the over-meme'd Sassy Nurgling. Anyways, here he is:

According to the attributes on his armor, and this is Crux and instead of the seal of purity, a skull in an iron halo, he is at least lieutenant.
