    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

    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

    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

The War in Khymara Sector by Metal Head Armory

Khymara Prime     My Gaming Group, Metal Head Armory, has been fighting over the Khymara Sector for years. Even our (Non LGS League) games in Horus Heresy take place in the Sector. Khymara Prime was formally known as Praxia. Praxia was a resupply point and Rapid strike forces for the Imperium before the Horus Heresy. Praxia was defending by large Company of Iron Warriors, Terran Born Raven Guard exiled by Corvus Corax, White Scars, World Eaters, and Word Bearers. A small Contingen

Lascannons and a Fellblade: Batteries

I finally got around to printing the batteries from my last post. In doing so, two things stuck out. 1. I really shoulda measured properly. While they work well enough, they are a little small for the space they're meant to fit in.  2. The details are a shallow.     The next step is to try painting them up anyway to see how they look, if all is well, then I'll just glue them up and all will be well. If not, then back to the drawing board to resize things and give i

Tybarr Seykyr - Kahl

Forged from the metals reclaimed from the dead of the lost Kin of the Shattered Star, Tybarr Seykyr was born of the Votann for one purpose; Vengeance. His cogitation unit filled with tactical engrams, his cyber nerves loaded with combat meme-forms and targeting philosophy.       Seykyr is a blunter tool of war than his organic compatriots. Lacking an inherent ability for improvisation, he relies on his implanted memories and long experience in battle to formulate plans

10th Company of Imperial Fists- Scouts

"DO WE BEMOAN SUCH LOSSES? NO! WE ARE THE FISTS! WE DO NOT NEED TO HIBERNATE OR SPIT VENOM. WE CRUSH OUR ENEMIES!" - Teachings of Rhetoricus, upon the losses of Sus-an Membrane and Betcher's Gland.     So I love Scouts. possible more than I love terminators. I have 2 Squads of 5 in my Exorcists Chapter (actually I have 11 models done for them)      So when I am thinking about building my Emperor's Shield Detachment Imperial Fist forces I know I want Scouts

1st Company of the Imperial Fists Chapter part 3- Now with Paint!

"The Emperor commands us. Dorn guides us. Honour shields us. Fear our name, for it is vengeance." Rhetoricus of the Imperial Fists   So I was going to to paint the models as Exorcists. So yesterday I pulled the Terminators to work on them. 17 Terminators built, counting the characters.  One of the terminators needs a magnet in the base. The Terminators are primed Army Painter Plate mail primer and I figured lets work on the Chaplain and Librarian.    Not Exorcists
Skoolkrakka's Sappas

More Stormboyz Progress

Luggub Skorcha's 'Elljumpas are a Stormboyz Mob under the Sappas' banner, who specialize in hurtling through the air at high altitudes and dizzying speeds, then getting 'stuck in' with the enemy. Clad in a eye-watering array of camouflage patterns, they make for striking figures.  Viewed together, there isn't much cohesion, but that's fine. These are Orks, after all. Next up is the majority of a Kommandos unit sculpted by Trollet, though I need to figure out where to get the remaining 2 model

"The Imperium is nothing less than the greatest fortress in Human history. Every world is a bastion, a redoubt made mighty by faith and toil. We are the defenders of this fortress, the praetorians who stand watch upon the walls, and who sally out to shatter each new threat as it masses before the Imperium’s gates. While we stand our watch, this realm shall never fall."   Vladimir Pugh, Chapter Master of the Imperial Fists (deceased)         So I am proceedin

The Clan Council   The Clan Council meets in a well protected chamber deep beneath the Marines Adamant Fortress Monastery on Halstarrig's primary moon. A great circular amphitheatre divided into ten tiered sectors, one for each of the mighty Clan Households, leads down to a hub-like central platform where a speaker can be heard by all.   The Council may only meet when at least four of the Households are present, and any decisions made there that will affect the entire Cha
Bad Mood Rising

The birth of a vocation. Or maybe not.

Hi folks,   An unsual topic today. What about initiating your kids to the hobby? I must confess it is not necessarily a purpose I had in mind until recently. My daughter, an 8 y.o. little tyrant, decided we had to play together with my toys.   (not her)   Her first move was subtle: she decided we had to take opportunity of my colonization of the picnic table to share space and have painting workshops together. This idea could have had the lifespan of a sparkle,

The Tip of the Spear: A journey with the XVI

Tactical status: Pinned and Suppressed

‘Incoming fire has the right of way.’   Well. Oof. I had grand plans of updating this every week or two rather than letting more than a month pass by. Work had other ideas!   My local group is  starting up our first campaign for 3.0 in November which means I have ~ 2-3 weeks before games begin. The reality is that I won’t have 3000 points painted by the kickoff and am far behind on progress compared to what I had intended to have accomplished. This will miss a personal goal t

Kayhrim is a fierce warrior and leader among the Gnostari Dominion's ranks of Einhyr. A member of the Shattered Star Kindred, she takes a personal affront to the loss of any organic Kin life that occurs. Her rage and fury, unusual for an Ironkin, have driven her to thrown herself time and again into desperate last stands and near-hopeless rescue actions.      Currently Champion Kayhrim Myrr is leading a unit of Einhyr in Kahl Tybarr Seykyr's Hearthband, under the banner of Hi

The Gnostari Dominion - The Ironkin March

The Dominion and its armies

The League The Kin of the Gnostari Dominion have suffered great tribulations in their recent history, making them an unusual example of their kind. For millennia, the Dominion had been considered an archetypical League; mercantile, industrious, and dedicated to expanding their knowledge and holdings. All that changed in M38 (in Imperium dating), when an unknown contagion struck one of the Gnostari Kindreds, Tral's Shatter Star Kindred. This plague ravaged all of the biological Kin in the Sh

"To the righteous we bring hope. To the tainted we bring fire." —Castellan Garran Crowe

"Garran Crowe is a castellan of the Grey Knights Chapter and a notable hero of that elite and highly secret unit of the Adeptus Astartes. Castellan Crowe is both the head and Brotherhood Champion of the Purifier Order.   A nobler exemplar of the Grey Knights would be impossible to find -- by the measure of the Grey Knights, Crowe is a flawless soul, not so much resistant to the temptations of Chaos as immune to them. It is well that this is so, for Garran bears a burden greater than an
