    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

Combat Patrolling the Galaxy

Old vs New, Teaching game.

Short update since work has been busy.    Protectors of Aun'Shar   So this time I got together the old Protectors of Aun’Shar CP, this week I was placed against another newbie. They were using Bane-Slayer’s Bulwark. For the game we did my usual modified Forward Position. They had the thunderers in the ruin on their home objective, champion was attached to the hearthguard and the warriors were split into two units, one with the melee weapons and the other with the heavy

With Faith Break them In Fire Purge them Like the hammer Smite them Upon the anvil Crush them -Excerpt from the Song of Warflame   Greetings Fraters et Sorores!   A very long-winded blog post today.   The role of Forgefather is such a cool one within the Salamanders chapter.

Call to Arms 2026- Vow 1 part 1

Today is the day, Call to Arms 2026 Opens in a few hours....8am PST    "I, W.A.Rorie, heed the Call to Arms and pledge to paint 10 Terminators, 10 Assault Terminators, and 4 Teleport homers for the Ultramarine Successor chapter, Howling Griffons for 22 points for the Glory of the Ultramarines and the Astartes Stronghold on or before 15th September 2025, or bear the badge of failure until year's end."     Front Row to Back Row Thunder hammer/ Storm Shield Termi

Weathering

I've been exploring a more realistic grimdark style for my more recent projects. To get a nice variation on the large armour panels it's important to have variation in the textures.    I've used AK Terrains Muddy Ground and AK Corrosion Texture to create what you see in the images.     If anyone is unfamiliar with the products, Muddy Ground is pretty much synthetic mud and Corrosion Texture has a fine sandy texture to simulate the why metal swells and flakes when it rusts.

Blood Greys Part 5: The Corruption Spreads

Hey traitors to the imperium! So I have been busy with work and other stuff but I will pop in once again for the group shot of the collection. This is where the painted collection stands right now Now, with 11th edition on its way. Here's what I have planned for the future. So this is the pile of shame as of June 2026. Most of it being Bloody Greys stuff. Selling my AoS army, I reinvested it back into the traitor guard. This is what we have: 20 Bloody Grey Kropmen 3 Sc
Sons of Horus Fellblade

Somnium adveho verus - A dream come true.

I've been focused on the Horus Heresy since before we had official rules, back in the distant darkness of the Black Books.  I set my sights on saving up for a Fellblade to be a nice centre piece model.  I almost had one twice but real life got in the way.   Fourteen years and two children later, I've finally got my hands on one!   I've worked for the same company since 2006 and I was pleasantly surprised to find out there's a long service award after twenty years.  I decided a Fellblad
"They shall be my finest warriors, these men who give themselves to me."

Griffons, Raptors, and Daemon Skulls...Oh my

So I seem to have a fascination with armies that fought in the Badab War. Well Loyalist at least.  I have more units then I should and certain armies look better than others in certain schemes.  With the new Detachment Point system I feel like I can take certain Detachments as one Chapter and another chapter as another. So with all the models I have or getting I could have multiple Chapters in a list. So Howling Griffons, Raptors, and Exorcists, are my go to Chapters.

11th edition is calling

So with Games Workshop releasing all of the detachments points and mission dispositions. I can now start planning out some of my armies. Generally I pick two flavors to run a army. Here's what I'm thinking.   Space Marines - Loxodon Guard  Gladius Task Force - Priority Assets - 3DP And Ironstorm Spearhead - Purge the Foe - 2DP Dark Age Arsenal - Priority Assets - 1DP   Thoughts: Now, I have been use Gladius or iron storm pretty much all throughout 10th edi

Call to Arms 2026- The Vows

In a previous blog "Howling Griffons, what say you ....?", I touched on the CtA2026 and what I was thinking about Vowing:   "My planned vow is 3 Terminator Squads (5 man each- 15 points), 3 Terminator Assault Squads (5 man each- 15 points), Terminator Techmarine (5 pts), Terminator LT #2 (5pts), Terminator Company Champion (5pts), Ballistus Dreadnought (3 pts), Brutalis Dreadnought (3pts), and Land Raider (6 pts).  Total points 63"   Well the math was not mathing....57 points

CtA 2026 - Planning...

So, I of course am going to do the CtA 2026. Love the event and getting more stuff finished! So far, I've decided to challenge myself and complete at least 5 points, or a minimum of a character model/5 man squad, in each of the Strongholds (Space Marines, Imperium, Chaos, Xenos, and Horus Heresy). I don't have a lot for all of the Strongholds, but I have at least a single character that I can do. Here's what my plan is so far-    Chaos Vow - All Word Bearers Chaos Lord in Terminator

The Terror and The Truth

Kharvex

Long lost was the path of joining Scripture and oath scattered, kneeling prayer abandoned Truth found in steel and bone   Silent now burns the ashes of suffering souls Etched ruins of control, daemon screams into the void Forging with hatred, with Truth   New-birth sealed into ancient bones Bitter blood dripping into slavering mouths Fervent chants baptize those that hunt   Kharvex Daemonsmith, Corruptor of Iron

"Well, it doesn't get any deader than that." - Historitor Meric Van Damm, upon witnessing the mission on [CLASSIFIED] -    Greetings Fraters et Sorores!   The diligent (or bored) among you may have noticed a few more picts go up on the Kommisar's Salamanders album a week or so ago. Predictably, I set up the images long before I could get around to actually creating a blog entry. Oh well. Such is life.    Anyway it's been busy. I finished painting a bunch of Tid

Howling Griffon Land Raiders

One of things I miss about the past editions of 40k is not so much the game but the cool upgrade kits from Forge World. Besides the cool Leman Russ upgrades FW released there was a few kits I wanted and some I even was able to get.  My absolute Favorite kit was the Mk IIb Land Raider kit. I was able to get a Mk IIb Land Raider and is in my Grey Knights, with added Blood and Skulls Track kit. You can see few other Land Raiders you can see some of my other built and not painted Grey Knights Land R

CtA 26 - An inventory

Hi Folks,   This is that time of the year again, Call to Arms challenge is coming back.   For this 4th iteration, my contributions will probably follow a distinct path vs. previous years. Let’s be clear, I was organizing my pledges so that I compete for the points in a limited number of categories. This was made possible thanks to a back log that was, let’s say, substantial.  But after years of accumulation, and then years of painting, saif back log has melted like polar ice

8th Company Howling Griffons (The Plan)

Originally I was going to play my first game as Grey Knights. but I want to play my Howling Griffons, so I am looking at the various Detachments. My Primary is going to be 1st Company Task Force, then either Subversion Assets or Vanguard Strike Force, which follows my love of Terminators and Scouts/ Phobos.        As part of the Idea of my army is the that the Terminators, Scouts, Phobos units, some of the vehicles (Land Raiders, Gladiator and Impulsors) will be painted in th

Moar Gunz

Having compared both Eds in my last post I wondered what was missing…I had made v1 according to the Combat Patrol mag instructions but looking at the combat Patrol card it only shows a Dread Klaw and a Rokkit launcher.  There is still a flamer and a couple of big machine gun looking weapons on the sprue.  So off came a Klaw and after a bit of trimming I squeezed all three on the one arm.  He now has all the options And looks a bit more Dred too-ownine.

Dredd Too-ownine

I was trying to find a more colourful mech and thought of a mobile suit Gundam type, but, although I have some background in creating car skins on that theme I’m not fully immersed in the genre.  However, when I was a kid Ed209 in Robocop was the meanest, shootiest mech I had seen so I gave it a go. Now, as for stairs… I guess if Orks believe it can get down stairs it can. Or it can “elevate” but that’s different.

"Howling Griffons, what say you to the oath sworn by your brothers long dead?"

"Honour them!"       Well I was able to get my preorder in for 11th Edition Armageddon. I will be picking it up early that day and meeting with @The_Oni_of_Hindsight to trade my Ork stuff for his Marine stuff. We are supposed to be playing that following Friday so we do need to meet up. We have are leaning towards 1750 points but are really waiting to see the points and list building for the new edition. I would really love to play my Howling Griffons but not a lot is painted

The Wooden Spoon

So im my groups previous tourney i did bad. Soo bad i came last. Bad times. But with the greatest perk...   I won the wooden spoon. So for the last few the tradition of adding a dice became a thing... annoying to loose 1 out of a set but i think its been a brilliant tradition and its more of a thing than our actusl trophy. If i ever win that i have plans... but anyhow..   So i previously upon my win and addition of a dice decided to pimp it a tad. Doin a slight burn and sand so it

Early thoughts for list building 11th

This blog post is even more for me to read back and laugh some time in the future than normal :)   Still its time to set out some hostages to fortune, we do now have the basic rules and we have seen all the missions. Choosing disposition is going to be a challenge, from what we have seen I think Recon fits my playstyle best of the dispositions, fortunately we know one of the 1DP detachments has Recon so all I need to do is add that in (well so long as KHP is a 2DP detachment, which as
