    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

    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

Assault Druhtii

The Greymanes do not have Blood Claws, as they cannot afford to waste even a middling prospective Astartes. Instead, more experienced brothers, whose proficiencies lie in close quarters combat, take up the roles that Blood Claws would in other Chapters of the Russ lineage. These duguthi are odd sorts — impetuous, but measured.

Status Check in

Ok, I haven’t forgotten about this, just been a little busy.    So I did two more training CP bouts. I got to use the Medusan Reboubt against the Vanghast Swarm. Not much to it, the turrets took out the psychophage pretty much turn one and the heavy intercessors held their own against the rest of the swarm. I split the squad into two squads of five and sent them to take the two no-man land objectives. One group took the charge from the leapers and held. The other held their own against

A beginning is the time for taking the most delicate care that the balances are correct.

I have started this project multiple times in the past.  Collecting Genestealers, putting together terminators and more.  But usually I would complicate the idea so much that it would get to be to much for me, and time or attention span would not be up to the task. This time I decided on a couple of quick rules.     Keep the list as simple as possible I would get lost in magnatizing the marines, or hand carving/building the Space Hulk terrain, and it would just take too lo

First four units table ready

The first four units in this project are table-ready: Ballistus Dreadnought, Terminator Squad, and two Assault Terminator Squads.    Because the chapter was created to fight alongside the Adeptus Mechanicus, there is some of their iconography. The marine interred in the Dreadnought was a Techmarine, so that iconography is added heavily to that model in particular.   This is all a learning experience for me. I've been painting for a long time, but I've never thought of myself

The Old Man of the 4th

Well, it's been a while! I've been busy with other projects, but now the weather is improving, I really want to get back to my Marines Adamant! With that in mind, I've finally finished a centre piece build for the army, my Logan Grimnar counts as…   Warleader Isgrimnur Ironheart     As you can see, he's built from Caanok Var, with a multitude of SW bits and a fair bit of scratch built plastic and GS sculpting, not least of which getting a high enough scenic bas

TO&E of my Chaos Marines

Just a quick layout of my current, in-progress units for my CSM. Leaders will have what they are in-game after their name/title, units will have their loadouts after their name. Sub-leaders are two categories- for the Ebon Word they are members of a kill-team/trainee-style leaders that do not have full lore breakdowns. For the Shrikeborn, sub-leaders are unit champions who will have full lore breakdowns. The split comes because the Ebon Word is very character/leader-heavy, where the Shrikeborn h

The Ninth Verse

They advance as if the air itself were listening each footfall a syllable, each breath a vow No haste, no fury only the cold cadence of certainty A choir that knows the ending before the first note sounds.   Blades rise like scripture being recited bolters speak in measured, punishing refrain Where the Ninth Verse strides, doubt curdles into terror they do not fight to win but to affirm what they already believe.   The Ninth Verse C

Where the Dire Catechists walk, your faith dies screaming.

Its all very well playing individual practice games but I don't really learn where my head is at with the game until I play something properly competitive. So I signed up for the spring tournament at my FLGS   This is 2:40 minute rounds at 1500 points so its maybe slightly less time pressure than I will be facing in Birmingham. Adjusted list for the reduced points will be posted at the bottom. Even so I decided to play fixed missions every game to see how well that stands up under pres
