    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

    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

Norris “The death Bringer” Staedtler

“Shukuteki Norris “the death bringer” Staedtler. Norris Staedtler is a figure both revered and loathed within the ranks of the Chapter due to the duty he performs: as the death bringer, he must seek out those battle-brothers showing signs of ego and selfishness, and end their suffering with a blow from his axe. As a result no battle-brother can feel entirely comfortable in his presence, as one day it might be their neck at the receiving end of his blade. Wargear Norris is armed wi

Beserks built

Went ahead and got all my count-as Beserks build, including my Berehk. The Ironhead Squats from Necromunda turned out to be pretty darn good, better than I expected. Berehk was built from the Claim Jumper model, which works perfectly with a slight pickaxe-to-polearm conversion, as I didn't really like the back half of the pickaxe and wanted something more hero-y. The Beserks come in two flavors, concussion mauls made from pickaxes and hammers, and heavy plasma axes made from various axe weapons

CtA26 - Second vow (Questoris Mechanicum Knights)

Hi Folks,   Although I have almost reached the bottom of my pile of shame, I succumbed (again) to the sirens of the Imperium. It is no rocket science predicting it: once you buy a bargain Eye of Terror Knight Detachment to be added to your existing Questoris and 3 Moiraxes, you end up with a small force, small enough for some games but not big enough for more. And what would you do with something half established like that? Expand it to a decent size. And this is how you end up bu

Retro Style Razorback

Modification on a previous work. Changed the Razorback weapons to match the more classic loadout. Was not sure how to do the dual plasma gun. After looking around found the HH Game has two dual plasma gun bitz. The dreadnought plasma gun for inside the power fist, which was only the barrel, and the terminator plasma caster. Went with the plasma caster, chopped off the spare lascannon's connector and attached to the plasma caster. Kind of wish it was a little bigger but it works. Feedback is welc

Anguish (rough)

Just gunna put this here cuz im lazy, this is still a rough draft, and i need to edit some stuff.  If you read it and something looks stupid or like bad writing, it probably is, and i might fix it....... Anguish Chapter 1 Anir stopped in his tracks.  Volesus turned to see why.  Volesus' vision was the bright green of a night vision filter.  No lights remained active in the many kilometers of this estate, after the killings.  Volesus saw Anir lift a hand to his neck, and grasped something.  So

Second attempts at magnetizing - Questoris knight

DISCLAIMER: This time it worked!   Hi folks,   I couldn't stay on the previous failure. I had to try again.     This time I have favoured a different chassis, a Questoris. And has I had spare parts left for the unused plastic bits of my Styrix, I got rid of some of the issues mentionned previously such as the lack of spare parts for weapon mounts...   There was therefore less potential issues than on a Castellan.   As previously I made a se

Terminator Squad Storm Bolters

The rest of the squad. I had learned some from the tactical squad mistakes. They have some highlighting, though I could of done more I find it kind of tedious. Also managed to varnish the models better. The resin should pads with the chapter symbol I had planned to use were for an older model of terminator and did not fit the new ones. I had tried reshaping the resin shoulder pads but they were to small. Tried green stuff but looked awful. So I just did transfers. I found I prefer the look of th

Tactical Squad Troopers

The Boltgun wielders of the squad. I had not realize I built and painted two marines exactly the same until these final photos. Only difference is the base grass. The varnish is a bit off. I had used to much of a satin varnish making them look to shiny. Tried to off set it with a dull varnish which made them look rougher and faded. Also makes the light weird when photographing them. But I was not going to redo the entire squad, at least no time soon.

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

My chapters Chaplains.

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
