    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

Kill Team - Outreach

Veteran Brother Karjalas Martäinen

First up is the kill team's fighter, Veteran Brother Karjalas Martäinen of the Emperor's Hounds Chapter.           The power maul and both shoulder pads are from the Deathwatch kit; the grav-pistol is from the Sternguard Veteran Squad kit (I think), I forget where the helmet came from (it came out of my expansive bits box), the running legs come from the Assault squad kit, and the torso and backpack come from either the Tactical or Devastator squad kits.   The Empero

Xenith's Hobby Hangout

First game of Heresy 3.0

I think it was maybe June since my last game of heresy, having loved 2.0 naturally I was on the wagon for 3.0, and willing to give it a shot. Some of the rumours were weird, and after receiving and digesting the rulebook (there's a lot to digest) I'm reasonably happy with the game - now it was just time to play it!   The game was 1000pts against my regular raven guard opponent to try and get our heads around the new way of playing   Alpha Legion: Crusade Detachment

So I have not touched my Sisters of Silence in a long time besides moving them from point a to point b.

Burn the witch! - a Warlock Conclave and a Clown

Hi Folks,   Today's batch is filled with my last models for this year's CtA: the 3 characters that were kitbashed from various bits and lost parts. Including a bluestuff molded one for the Harlie's torso.   Let's start with the Troupe Master (a.k.a the Clown); the result is almost as a miniature that might be mismatched (by a night without moon and eyes closed) with a real GW stuff. No, not really (or at least as a spiritual son only). But I'd like to believe it. I've painted

VoidReavers ready to board – dish has been served!

Hi Folks,   I(ve told you this method was rocket fast. My 2 pledged squads are already done! While I usually paint one unit per week at full speed, this time it has been twice taht amount. And in fact in less than one week. Sure, rainy sunday helped. but generally speaking the method for the base colour has saved me some hours.   What about the result? Well not that bad for 2 units fully kitbashed and made of bits, putty and hope.     One of the units is

VoidReavers ready to board – a cooking book entry

Hi Folks,   After kit bashing and building VoidReavers, I’ve decided to enlist part of the miniatures as a 3rd vow for CtA25.     So I have started working on the paintjob immediatly as time is running fast. I have pledged 2 out of the 3 Reaver units builts ( each with 10 miniatures each). I have decided myself fotr the units  kitbashed and not for the genuine from the KT set. I also enlisted the Warlocks and the Troupe Master but this is for another story.

My Full Army - So Far (and Campaign Narrative Conclusion)

Last night I finally got the opportunity to do something I've been meaning to do for a while: set out everything I've painted for this army so far and get a photo!    Before we get to that, I've also finished writing up the narrative that concludes the recent Crusade Campaign I ran, the 'Forge of Silence'. For those who read my previous posts about the campaign (thank you! ), here's the conclusion of the narrative: Forge of Silence Conclusion   For those who hadn't seen

Tactical Test Model

I’ve completed the first Tactical model for my Dark Angels Legion. I’ve chosen the Sergeant to work on initially and I’m quite pleased with how it’s turned out so far. I’m not sure if I’ve gone far enough with the worn/weathered look though so any feedback is appreciated on improving it.   He’s equipped in the classic Dark Angels style with a sword and Plasma pistol. Please ignore the shoulder pads looking very clean as I’m still waiting on the DA transfers to arrive before I can weather

Pardon Our Dust part 4

Ok this project is taking far too long....   But it is nearing completion. I ordered all my paint racks last night so they should be here next week or so. I had to move my works station from the wall to the middle of the room because i could not get the desk to fit          I need more lights. The upside is I can move stuff around and all my paints, weathering, basing stuff should be right behind me and until my paint racks arrive I have to make

Kit bash time - the Conclave

Hi Folks,   As a final episode of this "Kit-Bash" series, it is time to put the cherries on the cupcakes with two kitbashed Psykers. Let’s say they will be used as Warlocks or Warlock Conclave.   Base models for bodies are taken out of Guardians 2022 edition. Customization has been done from parts and bitzs taken from various recent kits: -          Psyker stuff from KT Corsairs.  Simple and easy: staff and hand plus helm. Tabart from the first Dire Avenger kit. Nothing

The Hexagrammaton

It Begins…

With the arrival of Horus Heresy 3.0 I wanted to start a new Legion force. I’d already done Blood Angels, Iron Warriors, Mechanicum, Custodes and a small contingent of White Scars and Solar Auxilia so I decided to use the gorgeous MKII marines for an entirely new Legion.    I narrowed it down to Space Wolves, Dark Angels or Ultramarines. The Dark Angels ultimately prevailed due to a combination of their Knightly Aesthetic,  their Playstyle, their Lore and the amazing design of their Legio

Kit bash Time – The Troupe Master

Hi Folks,   As you might have read in previous installments of this Blog, I am trying to dry out a maximum amount of my bitz. This led me to build 2 full VoidReaver squads out of various spares. While Frankensteining the last squad, I’ve changed my mind in respect of the best use to do with one hybrid Drukhari/HArlie body, and I finally put it apart instead of doing another Reaver's Squad minion. The plan is now to use it as a base for a Troupe Master. My allied Harlequin force already

The Veiled Oblivion - the Severed on Crusade

The Plan works

The Gestalt-Lord The Plan was working. Incursions against those trying to defend the gate- the upstart T'au and the brutish Astartes, had gone well. Much blackstone had been harvested and the winds of Chaos slowed. A disagreement with the Aeldari Aleerith host ended in a humbling of the arrogant psykers and a renewed pledge to follow the outline of the Plan. More monitoring will be required going forward; the Aeldari were devious and would only stay on this path as long as it benefited them
