    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

    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

A tale of hats…

Well, this was an “adventure”.  I wanted my specialist units to have a more Grey Knights vibe.  So I searched the interwebs and found a suitable looking helmet.  They were described as Diesel punk Sallet heads for Arcamundi.  I had no idea what that was but assumed it was 28mm scale.  On arrival they were too small.  They are 28mm but I’m guessing the whole Primaris thing… So I got to measuring them and found that they were about a mm too small.  This worked out at 20%.  I spoke to the make

The Imperial Governor and Imperial Citizens Part 2

Well I am still writing the mission and discussing with @The_Oni_of_Hindsight we decided that the Imperial Side (Rescue Team) will get 3 twin Heavy Bolter Tarantulas and a twin lascannon tarantula that will have BS 5+, No movement, T 9,  SV 3+, W 10, LD 7+,  OC-, Tarantulas are automatic disabled in melee. Heavy Bolter Tarantulas can only engage targets they can they hurt on 4+ or better. Twin Lascannon Tarantula and only engage monsters and vehicles.    I did prime the Governor and Im

The Red Hunters Part 5

"Non permittant vivere impuritus."   Well it was a busy weekend for modelling....Did not get done as much as I would like, family life and all. The more I use Army Painter the happier I am for making the switch. The Army Painter Warpaints Fanatic line with the color sets (6-7 colors if it has a Blanche version) that gives you your next highlight is great. Especially if your paint rack is organized. Now the Warpaints Air line uses the Triad system. My favorite part is the the Air and Fa

Armageddon Box Update 2 – Summer Slowdown and a First 1,000 Points

So, I'm slowly getting the Eradicators painted. Work and personal life have been busy, and with the six-week summer holidays just starting, I don't think that's going to improve any time soon. I'm hoping to get a couple of hours of hobby time in each week, but we'll have to see.   As usual, though, I got a bit sidetracked and started painting another model. I really need to focus on getting the Eradicators finished first.   The aim of this project was to get everything from t

Vow number one completed

Having started the painting vow before 11th edition dropped I wanted to create some of the old Space Marine Combat Patrols using a handful of models.  I have now completed that vow and will move on to the next, which will add models that will make up the new Assault Force and Blood Angels patrols. After that I will consider adding my unbuilt Impulsor and Dreadnought.   When painting the Dreadnought I’m unsure as to wether I should paint it like a large Space Marine (i.e. in the sa

Hive Fleet Asmodeus Part 2: Biological Warfare

Hey fellow future biomass, Hive Fleet Asmodeus is back again with the mid sized bugs. First we have the Barbguants. I like the idea of the barbguants, a lighter version of the biovores and a cool debuff that was all the rage when they first came out. They usually are points filler unit now, usually acts as screen for maleceptors. Which probably not the best use for them. Now we have the brain bugs, aka the Zoanthropes. One of the first kits i got for my tyranids, although t

Job's a Mid'Un

I was thinking a month ago that I haven't painted a proper sized Knight in over a year and got a hankering to try out one of the new Destriers because they have some pretty useful abilities for 11th ed (Ignores Cover + Towering, good movement, etc...). So I got one and have now built it up, including keeping the hatch on top open. Normally I wouldn't, but my FLGS is doing a painting competition at the end of the month and one the two categories is Big Guy: a model with a base of 50mm or larger.

Venerable IV/V: Steel

Right arm is glued on it's place. Finished ammo box and added some metals on leg. After the horror of barrels other parts are going smooth.  Im add metals in different styles gloss, matt, damaged, dark, light. Tbh it would be faster just make him with one approach, but this "project " is more like training model. Next would be painted parts like barely above ammo box and I'll switch to power fist which I don't know how to paint  i. Worn and torn metal on fingers and armor

Red Hunters- 3rd Company Armory

Non permittant vivere impuritus."   “Suffer Not the Unclean to live.”     The Red Hunters Chapter is constantly at war, on missions, and serving as bodyguards for Inquisitors. As such, resupply is sometimes infrequent, with their Chapter homeworld, Montsegnur, being on the edge of the Segmentum Tempestus near the Ultima Segmentum. As the Red Hunter's forces needs to be become combat ineffective, they will return to Monesegnur  When resupply is required for armor the Red Hunte

Venerable III/V: Heat

That was easy. I've expected it would turns some horrible brush fencing on tips of barrels but it's turns pretty easy. I coat it black. Once it  dries put few glazes of deep magenta. And wait again. Put some white highlights here and there  and add few glazes of night blue.  And another glaze of magenta on top and sides.  For reference I uses my stove pipe (:

...over and over again expecting... paintjob to change... Ok, Insanity is working just fine. Got result. Barrels looks nice. Now it's need a lot of fixes, secondary reflections like Dread's hull or base elements. It's great experience and challenge.   Would be glad for criticism and feedback.

Did I ever tell you what the definition of insanity is? Insanity is doing the exact... same thing... over and over again expecting... Something to change... That. Is.

First 3 are just a mess. Im add base coat, it's all right. Add first layer and it's almost fine, add second and get all ribbed tub

Hi Folks,   Bastille day left me with enough time to complete 2 additionnal models from my pledge: the Ironstriders.   These models were in stockpile for a while, more than 2 years, but I was not very enthusiastic for painting them: I used to play at sizes where I have enough models to fulfill most tactical role and I am one of those convinced that Striders behave well mostly at small size when tooled up as Ballistarii. With the release of the Hastarrii, I am even more c

Honestly this stage will last until his decals are added. This will go for most of the army.    III Company Captain Razak of the Red Hunters Chapter     Paints use

Lists for the List God: Hive Fleet Asmodeus 2026

Hello fine folks of B&CS. We are back again with Lists for the List God. Today we are looking for my plans for the largest of my armies, the Tyranids. Now my Tyranid collection is heavy on the monsters and mid sized bugs, and light on the smaller gribbies. According to the tournament data that has been out for a few weeks Tyranids are looking decent. Out of my 4 project, they look the most competitive. So lets look at my 2 lists.   Xenos - Tyranids - Crusher Stampede, Warrior Biofo

Armageddon Box Update 1 - Heatwaves, Holidays, and Heavy Bolters

Well, between the current UK heatwave and going away on holiday, progress on the Armageddon box has been a little slower than I'd hoped. Now that things have settled down, though, I'm finally starting to crack on with it.   I've started with the first unit, the Heavy Bolter Eradicators. These are part of my plans for the Space Marines and will be painted as Unnumbered Sons Ultramarines. I still need to add some weathering powders to blend the lower legs into the bases, but I'll do
