    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

    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

    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.

    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

Lists for the List God: Bloody Greys 2026

So my last post was about the list plans for my World Eaters warband the Skull Brethren. Now we are going to look at the my traitor guard army, The Bloody Greys. Like I said in my World Eaters entry, I don't play super competitive, but I welcoming to any suggestions or ideas. Astra Militarum is probably my least played army, or at least my knowledge of what's good and what's bad is probably the lowest out of my four projects. So here we go!   Imperium - Astra Militarum - Grizzled Compa

Working on a Custodian Combat Patrol

I'm working on building all 6 models required for my Adeptus Custodes Combat Patrol.   Models Required:   ■ 1 × Blade Champion □□ 2 × Allarus Terminators □□□ 3 × Custodes Guard with Sentinel Blade and Praesidium Shield.    I'm building them in this order. I've completed the Blade Champion, and am currently removing the Terminators from the sprue.   Not the most exciting blog, I know. But I need to finish something.

Sons of Horus Green

After undercoating and pre-weathering everything got a good coat of gloss varnish, followed by AK Worn Effects.   Once you put paint on top of the Worn Effects you need to give it about 30-60 minutes for the paint to get tacky.  Then using brushes, water and an old tooth brush you can remove some of the paint - in my case reveal the undercoat in selected area.  If anyone wants to try this you must use the gloss varnish underneath, of you don't you'll burn the undercoat off too.

Here we have yellow horror and not the Red terror. Now I'm working on redemptor for Imperial fists. Yellow. Yellow is my favorite color to look at but not to paint.  The plan is simple. Clear, bright yellow to orange gradient and NMM steel for all but armour.    There is very little progress so far. I'd blocked flat panels. Put base colours for steel and waste a lot of time painting little stupid landscape in reflection on leg . And it's looks like my phone have issues w

Job's is a Big'Un - Castellan Knight - Part II

Hi Folks.   A small update since Part I, with the big guns.     I have decided not to repeat the knight livery colours on the weapons and to go instead with plain black casings. I have voluntarily limited the hue so taht it does not look like a clown: with the schemes I have already applied on the Moiraxes and the Styrix, more variety in scheme would not be a quality criteria and would instead bring too much discrepencies and lack of harmony. This black and dry brus

Liber Exorcismus

I have been working on my Grey Knights, Inquisition, and Howling Griffons. I have been leaning at reducing my Howling Griffon planed forces and moving back them to back to Exorcists. I have a lot of models for Space Marines so having Multiple armies does make some sense. The ideas I keep having follow one of two ideas, Badab War or Grey Knight support. Here is what I am thinking.    Chapter Name Founding Chapter Info Badab Ties Forces Probabilty

This guy done. It's took a lot. Result is almost what I want. It's still need touches here and there but I'm just burnet a bit. So I sealed it with varnish. Everything would be based together once Plague Marines are done.  That's a nice mini and this is a great experience of building this much trims and curvy details with NMM. Most the time I spend fighting face panel. I like the result and funny it's a simpliest part. Once I reached flat parts real proplems appears. And the rear leg t

Job's is a Big'Un - Castellan Knight - Part I

Hi Folks,   Now that my magnetization task is completed canceleld, I may start working on the paint job.   The knight superstructure is a really easy and fast track work as it is basically a big dry brush. The Castellan chassis is also less detailled that the Questoris chap: less accessories, less details on the sub elements. Part of the molded details is also quite hard to reach, for example pipes around the plasma cores.     I have plans to keep my curr

Project Origins

Initially, my first lead into the Warhammer universe was a friend buying Space Marine 2 for my birthday on Steam. While I enjoyed the game, I had no real concept of anything going on and it was mostly just a time passing game for me.  However, over a few months, through continuous play, I got a little more curious. At the suggestion of the same friend, I decided to pick up a 40k book. I started with the Siege of Vraks, and then Fall of Cadia. But I got a little more curious as to where the whole

First attempt at magnetizing - Valiant/Castellan knight

Hi Folks,   After succumbing to the charms of an überbargain price on an already bargained limited edition box, I ends up with 3 Knights to be built and painted.       I have decided starting with the Castellan. Or the Valiant. Or… Both at the same time. It will be a big premiere for me consisting in trying out magnetizing a model. I of course had my dosis of tutorials on Youtube, bought some Neodyne magnets and prepared the material to commit the crime.

Lists for the List God: The Skull Brethren 2026

With the points now out and 11th edition in full swing. I have been list crafting my butt off and I have some thoughts to share about where my projects. My method was to make 2 lists out of my current 4 armies: Space Marines, Tyranids, Astra Militarum and World Eaters. With the new detachments rules, it leaves a lot of room for experimentation. I usually don't play hyper competitive and if I can, I try to play with the current models that I have in my collection when possible. So first we are go

Chapter Characters

To crowbar my chapter into a non Blood Angels, BA codex chapter I’m creating characters to fit the skills, weapons and abilities of the BA Characters…   Certenon Proditor Commander Daniel Tey. “For many years, I have fought and I have seen the disorganisation in our galaxy. I have seen the vileness of the alien and the heresy of the desecrator. I have witnessed the sin of selfishness.

"They are beyond many things, but never my hate!" Lias du Ortise, Inquisitor, Ordo Malleus     Well 2 games down, in 11th edition and 2 loses. Lots to learn from, as the edition continues, I am invested in my Grey Knights, and I am continuing with the builds.  One of the issues I ran into was not paying attention to my missions and rules. And this was a group issue I noticed, we all were forgetting rules. So going back to basics. We have decided to play a few games at 500 points

On the question of vehicle colours…

“A bit of the old Razzle Dazzle…” said by no one in the history of 40k ever.   The chapters colours are grey and lavender. Now there seems to be a precedent that Space marines don’t do camouflage because it is cowardly and they want to be seen coming to strike fear into their enemies.  I respect that for their armour.   I’ve looked at two colour Impulsors as an example and they’re all a bit samey and meh. Now, I’ve been thinking…no one, not even a space marine wants to di

Hive Fleet Asmodeus Part 1: Vanguard Bugs

Hello fellow future biomass!   The arrival of Hive Fleet Asmodeus is here. Tyranids are my largest army in terms of plastic. The army takes up 2 bookshelves in my book case. I started collecting them around 2004-2005ish era. I started with 20 genestealers and 2 Zoanthropes as a little combat partol back in the day. The collection didn't really take off until 2010ish, where I sold off my brother's Imperial Guard Armoured Company and reinvested back into the bugs. Hive Fleet Asmodeus ten

It all started with a colour scheme

At this present time, being new to the hobby, my friend and I only have the time and sufficient grasp of the rules to play Combat Patrol.  However, with an eye to the future, should we ever get used to the rules, I’m hopeful we can fit an incursion scale conflict in.  So, bitten by the bug, I increased my number of models and had the realisation that I could make several of the 10th edition Combat Patrols with them. I had previously painted them as Crour blades (I thought blood Angels sound

Created a cheat sheet and printed out Grey Knights Faction pack. Army is all packed and ready to go.  I have 2 games scheduled, Game 1 is vs @The_Oni_of_Hindsight's Orks  and Game 2 is vs @HeiYu13's Tyranids   It has been a while since I played 40k. I am excited to get at least 2 games in. I know my opponents are going to hyper aggressive.
