    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

The building uprising of Prawa V

Awakening an ancient beast

The dust had not yet fully settled when the officer strode forward, his boots crunching over the fallen rubble. He was a broad-shouldered man with a hard-set jaw, his uniform stained with sweat and sand. Despite the years of quiet subjugation, the vestiges of military discipline clung to him like an ill-fitting coat. He turned and barked an order, his voice sharp against the thick silence.   "Get those lamps in here! Engineers, with me!"   The beams of portable floodlights cu

Meeting the Primus

I'm going break character a moment and preface this entry with a little context for you. I've never liked the Genestealer's Kiss mechanic; it's always felt like a bit of a McGuffin to me in terms of story, a quick and easy way to move the story along. So, as this blog continues and follows our narrator, it's going to become obvious he's not been taken by it. He has met the Patriarch, though he does not know the true horror of its monstrosity, being shrouded and cloaked but the encounter has left

"We determine the guilty. We decide the punishment."- Adeptus Arbites

One of my favorite armies, over the years has been Adeptus Arbites. I have a small collection of Pewter Arbites single piece and the Necromunda V.2 multipiece somewhere. When the Palatine Enforcers were released I was like not a fan. Now we have proper plastic Arbites.        I have a 1000 pt list planned:   Inquisitor aka "Marshall" Ministorum Priest aka "Judge" 3 Vigiliant squads 1 Exaction Squad 2 Subductor Squad 3 Rhinos
The building uprising of Prawa V

A distant world, toiling under the yoke of oppression

There are three great Hive Cities on Prawa V: Prawa Prime, Prawa Secundus, and Prawa Ten Drugi. Ten Drugi is my home, the home of my brothers and sisters in the Miners' Guild of Shaft VII. The Imperial overseers rule with iron fists, their myriad bureaucrats ensconced within towering spires, tallying each unit of ore we rip from the rock. They ensure that every shortfall is met with punishment—banishment to the sands rather than execution. After all, our labour is vital for the sector, despite n

Weapon swaps and customization

Hi Folks,   While waiting for the primer to dry on my Dwarves for the World that Was, I used the free time I had (due to rainy weather) on swapping weapons on some Magi I have for my AdMech.   Customization and small kitbashes are a nice way to add some subtle differences for these highly standardized models. And it is far easier now that they are in plasteic rather then in lead or white metal... Ahh, nostalgy. of drilling with my first Dremel like tool, 20 years ago...

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

"Pain is a friend. Pain is truth."-Sister Erynica N'botu, Order of the Valorous Heart   Well the weekend is over....and I did something I have been wanting to do, I was able to pickup a brush and do some painting for the first time in a long time.    Thursday, I decided to repaint my bases on my characters.  using Valllejo Model Color and Citadel wash (Basalt grey, nuln oil wash, Drybrush of Light grey and Sky grey) and then the all important black base rim.

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

"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.

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

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
