    Square Pants Bob

    By Bouargh

    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

    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

    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

The Terror and The Truth

Changing up the blog slightly

So I've decided to move over all of my Chaos stuff to this blog, rather than just focus on just the Shrikeborn. Since I plan on now combining the Shrikeborn and Ebon Word in-game, I will combine them into this blog instead of having a blog for the Shrikeborn and a WIP forum thread for the Ebon Word.    That means that I will slowly be moving over pics and lore from the Ebon Word thread into distinct posts into this blog. Since I do have a couple of fully painting Ebon Word units, they

An inventory for some of existing Terrain kits - Part I

Hi Folks,   While I have had an insight on the potential impact of the teased terrain area templates shared by GW on WarCom (#New40k – Take cover with updated terrain rules) and in line with the rule changes for 11th, I kept on playing with my mobile phone and cardboard templates, just to see how my more “corporate” pieces of terrain fit in this whole perspective. Let’s have a look.   1.      Battle for Maccrage One of my favorite set. The crashed Aquilla lander was one

I'll be back......

So tomorrow the Wife and I are leaving for a weekend away from the kids. We have rented a cabin with a private hot tub and are doing an unplugged weekend. She was very specific and said books and hobbies only. Electronics limited, my army building apps are fine but not sure how the cell service will be and it does have Wi-Fi, but not the point of an unplugged weekend. So I packed up basing supplies, bases, models, glues, tools, etc.   But what is with the Terminator References....the "
Ikka's Hobby Land

Votann, DA, Necromunda, and Inquisition weirdos

Just got some bits in and went on a little building spree. Included in the order was a single stele from the Necron Convergence of Dominion- did not really realize how big they were. It will still work for the base of my Nigthbringer count-as, but might just have to make the angle it is resting on a little more extreme, as it being 7 inches tall itself means that it is almost as big as the Nightbringer alone. So, that is on my project log to potentially get done next month.  The rest of the orde

Phase 2 - Game 3

Madmen. Charging, snarling transhumans turned into raving beasts that spoke of nothing but blood and skulls. Revving chainblades and jagged steel swung from their gene-enhanced forms.   World Eaters. Astartes touched by the Chaos power known as Khorne. No strategy but to charge and hew. Unfortunately it would work this time, as the attack struck the Gardhird before an adequate plan could be implemented. The only thing left was to delay the attack and retreat with as many resources as p

For the Oath and the Word -Chapter 1- part I

The War Room of the Howling Griffons Strike Cruiser Firefell     Captain Jeanne DeClisson stood staring out the viewport as she waited for the Officers of the Howling Griffons aboard to arrive. Senior Astropath Louis-Antoine DeBougainville, stood near her resting on his staff. Captain DeClisson was trying to ignore the pompous chattering of Baroness Joan Talbot, Regimental Commander of the 1st Shrewsbury of Dennar IV. Captain DeClisson's ire towards Baroness Talbot was hardly contained

Trajectory control – Scenery project and new rules

Hi Folks,   What happens when your compass indicates that you are slowly drifting from your set course? You adjust your rudder… When it deals with scenery making, drifting is synonym of new rules for terrain features due to new edition.   But is it really a set of new rules? Shall we look at these with attention (on the basis of the extracts of info we got so far) it is not really that of a new thing: terrain area existed prior. It is more that the rules looks like they are

Niklas Raymi - Ordo Machinum Inquisitor - High Xenophobe.

Hi folks,   I am still working on my bitz box cleaning. While I have focused on the major volumes (Paretto approach) in the initial stages, while I get closer from the end of the pile, I have changed my scheduling approach, working on some small, sometimes self standing, miniatures. I have for example a lonely Ork, a ooP CSM Raptor sergeant… and parts of the original Cypher miniature. Parts as I miss the plasma pistol and the back-pack. The latter has been used on a SM kitbashed Chapla

Blood Greys Part 1: Heavy Metal Thunder

The building uprising of Prawa V

A little fun

So, I've been far too serious with my writing. I wanted a little fun. This is a passage about 329. It's as cheesy as you like. It was quite fun to go all in, full bore, to absolutely ham it up with the best of them. It was quite enjoyable.   So, take it for what it is - an overblown passage glorying in the totally over-the-top narrative. Thoughts most welcome!   =====    The first sign was the light.   It came on above the bunker doors without warni

Foe-Ender

Skeldr Jarnvardr made a mechanical grunt. The E-COG affixing his new ankle beeped an interrogative and Skeldr waved it away. Ironkin did not really feel pain, but to make their fleshy companions more at ease they tended to utilize similar vocal signifiers during such times. It brought both halves of the Kin together, wielded them to each other. In the Solbond Gardhird, such things were not necessary but were still practiced.   The Steeljack Elder looked around at the Iron-Master's doma

329 Awakens

I will be the first to admit, 329 is my pet tank. I try not to let it be the case, but I love the monster I have created. Unfeeling, unknowable, unpredictable. It is my Beast in the Basement.    I wrote this short scene a few days ago while I was away. It'll not likely be included in the story, but was a fun exercise. Krystan is reviewing camera footage from the previous day. He's trying to work it out. 329, the unknowable puzzle. He doesn;t like missing pieces and he's trying to wrk i

Howling Griffons- 10th Company Project- pt1

I really enjoy painting my Howling Griffons terminators. And as I paint them more my confidence increases in the my ability to paint them. I decided to add some of the Phobos marines to the log and testing the night camo world on a Reiver Sgt.     I love Reivers and how this scheme looks. I need to finish my scout squad and the rest of the reiver squad. And eventually I will paint up the Eliminators in the following scheme on the camo cloak.        My

The Pentarchy of Death

Hi Folks,   It has been a while that I have been thinking about it and the recent announcement of release for Yriel resumed this idea under the form of a small self-standing project: gathering the key Dramatis Personnae from the Ynnari narrative arc as a homogeneous collection of models.   My Ynnari force is led by the Yvraine (IR$ tax) and I field the Yncarne as often as possible. But I’ve stopped myself there for a while. Now that Yriel has been released, I guess I might ga

Adeptus Bricklayer

Hi folks,   A small insight on my plodding along vow for 12 MoH 2026. among the uncontrolled growths of this project it is worth mentionning the addition of a set of second hand Ryza pattern ruins. These I believe were initially released in Moon Base Klaissus (or is it Kassius?) . They have been then sold as a separate boxed set (latter reworled and lossing some parts such as the barricade with briken door and the sas entry) and finally re-released through the Hachette suscription.
Old Misadventures in Sci-Fi

Starting to harbour some doubts

So, the other day I finally got out of a bit of a hobby slump (to be fair to myself, I'd been steadily, but very slowly, painting some Nurgle guys for AoS but mostly/only because I meet up with some friends once every week/fortnight and paint) and felt the urge to do something creative. So I found some styrofoam I had lying around as well as a ship I bought in the local thrift shop a couple of years ago, decided to build a harbour and got to work. I initially just placed the styrofoam sections i

Howling Griffons Chapter Master.....Part 1 - The Mock Up

So who is the Chapter Master of the Howling Griffons? Is it Kenot Friche or Alvaro?   Alvaro (Lexicanum)  Alvaro is the current Chapter Master of the Howling Griffons. During the Third War for Armageddon he led the First Company of the Chapter from the Battle Barge Force of Destiny, where they engaged in the persecution of a company of Night Lords Traitor Legionnaires under the command of the infamous Daemon Prince Periclitor.

Training Day Part 2

So once again I used the new FLGS Learn to Play/Combat Patrol day to teach another vic… player how to play via Combat Patrol. They took Strike Force Octavius so instead of using my newly completed Medusan Redoubt I used the Vanghast Swarm to go classic mode.    Medusan Redoubt (IF edition)     I split the termaguants up, had the barbguants and a termaguant unit hold home while the rest readied to surge forward.

"Hate your enemy. There is no room for compassion in the prosecution of the enemy's destruction. Strive with every iota of your will and strength to see him destroyed. Slay him and cast down his works without mercy.  Only when every corrupt work is destroyed and the ashes of his body float on the wind, only then can there be compassion.  Hate the enemy who yet lives. Reserve your pity for the dead."   - Chaplain Ur'Venn, attached to the Salamanders 4th Company, Purging of Clovis' World -
