    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

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

Visions of the Prognosticar pt 1

""Abandon compassion and pity. They will not aid you in this war.Your soul is the crucible, and hatred your only weapon against the Daemon. Let both burn bright." — Prognosticar Theoddus, recounting a vision he received in the Augurium.         Sons of Titan have been silent. Too Silent. The War has raged on.  My Brothers have not participated.  Nor have I. We have not have been idle. We know the Enemy is out there. Training.

Painting Bunker Bingo 2026 - Planning update

Hi Folks.   We are at mid year and it is time to draw a situation point on the Bunker Bingo. First half of the year has been prolific enough and the card is now largely filled.     My last entry is a Wraithseer that helped completing one line and one column. A nice stamp.     Second half of the year will probbaly be tougher in terms of fitting my backlog with the card. I indeed have something like 4 Battleline units (and no stamp left)

Blood Greys Part 4: The Lost and the Damned

Hello Reengages and Heretics! It been awhile since I have posting anything. I have been working a lot of overtime so my usually Saturdays where I do most of the my blog writing has been taken up by work. Today thought, I have a reprieve from work. So lets get into the rank and file of the Traitor guard Bloody Grey  So lot of different kits were used. Much like all Traitor guard forces, its a motley sort. You have the black stone fortress traitors mixing with some OG chaos cultists with auto
The Gnostari Dominion - The Ironkin March

Ironkin Vehicles - Kapricus Defenders, Sagitaurs, Hekaton Land Fortress

The Chisel‑Point Defender teams are the Solbond Gardhird’s precision bulwark squads; compact, disciplined units of Kapricus Defenders engineered to hold narrow corridors, breach‑lanes, and choke‑points with unyielding efficiency. Their name comes from their battlefield doctrine: strike clean, hold firm, and carve a path through which the rest of the Kin may advance. Together, the three Chisel‑Point teams form a single, precise instrument of war; a tri‑edged wedge that shapes the battlefield acco

The Gnostari Dominion - The Ironkin March

Grimnyr Eldrun

Grimnyr Eldrun carries a quiet gravity that even the Solbond Gardhird finds difficult to name. Once taken by the Dark Mechanicum during a skirmish gone disastrously wrong, Eldrun vanished into the cold depths of heretek forges where Ironkin minds are broken down, rewritten, or repurposed into abominations. Yet Eldrun did not break. His core‑logic folded inward, sealing itself behind layers of ancestral encryption and oath‑runes so old even the Dark Mechanicum could not decipher them.

A varnishing Warning to you all!

As this came up in a forum thread, here is a little warning and/or let's have a laugh at my misfortune     This is obviously not a 40k model, but it serves the purpose, because it's what I used.    Finished my faction terrain piece for AoS, and as I was going to be handling it a lot, I thought I'll varnish it with my Citadel Munitorum Varnish Spray. 'What could go wrong?' thought I?   Well, the results speak for themselves.        Yeah

Another experiment

I've been tinkering with the audiobook again.   I've had may offers of help with it from all manner of friends both here in the UK and abroad to voice certain characters, and so on. Always open to new ideas, guys.   In the meantime, I have been friends with a singer since high school. She does alright for herself and I'm going to call her Victoria, her real name. Sh'es done a couple of samples for me she's happy for me to use at the end of chapter and all that.   Th

The story Grows

Beta Dala - Giving reason to the Imperial Fists and the Deathwatch chapter.   I wanted a DeathWatch group composed of Imperial Fist successor chapters (for Kill Team).  And I am tieing it into the other stories I was writing.    So once I finish Space Hulk, Death Watch it is!  And I will try to make them AoD kill team compatible, or I just need more minis.       To: Chapter Master Gregor Dessian, Lord of the Imperial Fists Location: The Phalanx, Strategium Ana

Gardenhammer - messing about with what 11th rules we have

My son - who talked me into this journey to Birmingham - is visiting and we have been talking a lot of warhammer. Meanwhile its a heatwave here in the UK   So with getting the Aeldari preview yesterday and having seen the stream games we decided to test out a few ideas we have about how 11th will play. This was not going to be a real 11th game - we simply don't know all the rules - but the idea was to test out some thoughts we have had on the table with the information (and some educat
Combat Patrolling the Galaxy

Hunting Bigger Prey

Got in two Combat Patrol games this week. Both against the Armigar Trailblazers. Now originally I thought the armigar one was one of the stronger ones, but after this bout, not so sure anymore.   First game was Scorched Earth and I was using the Stormglaive Hunters. Subatan had the Master Rider Enhancement and selected the kill warlord secondary. Opponent got first turn but due to terrain didn’t have any shots. They did move the warglaive (warlord) forward to get ready to capture the A

Decision has been made...

... but is it that surprising? I have decided keeping my only test and the Nemesis claws has been issued in a whitish scheme.   Thepainting process has not been that complicated once the recipe described in the previous blog entry has been validated. The dry bruched white gives an overall aspect that is dirty enough to fit to the idea of a unit of CSM cut from its logistical support and counting on resilience of its material rather than spare parts.    I use as an excuse this
