    AdMech Patrol #2 - Progress report

    By Bouargh

    Blog entries pass and sometimes look like very similar to some previous ones. It is one of the issues when dealing with army building on base of multiples buy outs of the same Patrol Box...   Yet we might eventually expect some variation if the models are fitted in different fashion, ain´t we?   The Onagre DuneCrawler as already been spoiled in the FOrums, but it has been the major progress of the past week so I will "proudly" republish it there. It is also an unhonorable  wa

    Dakota Minor Defence Corps (PDF)

    By Mike Zulu

    Introduction Like many established Imperium worlds, Dakota Minor has a planetary defence force simply known the Dakota Minor Defence Corps (or DMDC). Most of its number are conscripted from the local population; a small number of citizens willingly join to escape the tedium of farm life that is prevalent on Dakota Minor. The DMDC is organised in a manner similar to Astra Militarum regiments, albeit more limited in their makeup. For the most part, it consists of dozens of infantry battalions

The building uprising of Prawa V

Overcoming fear

As said earlier, I have set aside Prawa V for a little bit. I'll return when I am ready to edit it properly. In the meantime, I've picked up the pen (or, more accurately, keyboard) and started on a sequel. I am enjoying writing my little vignettes. In this one, 329 is buying time for Freja to do what she must. She's the only one with the access and knowledge. Freja is terrified. She's a mid-level clerk. She is not built for this. But, our Narrator, the sergeant,  has other ideas. She eventually
The Forgotten, a Fallen warband on Crusade

Final Thoughts

Well, the final tally for the crusade came out. Chaos wound up tied for second with the Imperium, with one sector controlled each and 7 Crusade Points each. The Xenos took first with two sectors and 9 points total. A pretty good showing from Chaos, with us being down a player. Don't know if we could have done anything better, to be honest- the Imperium put everything they had into taking the sector we had controlled in phase 2, while I chose to split the Chaos points towards taking the Imperium'

CtA25 - Vow 1 - Week 2 progress report

Hi Folks,   This second week ends up with 2 completed units: the Kabalites (Hand of the Archon) and the kitbashed Archon.     Some close ups of the Kabalites:     The scheme is going to be reproduced once again on the crew members for the Venoms.   The Archon (also aligne din the Master of the Forge subchallenge) is based on a kit bash from a GSC Magus:     The Venom motojets will be my next unit to be completed in t

The Forgotten, a Fallen warband on Crusade

Phase 3 - Game 4

Xaphan spit out wrath and bile at the enemy. Thin-bloods again, the shadowy Ubral Reavers of the new Primaris breed. They had fought once, these Emperor-lovers who moved like mist and struck at strange angles. Very little went right in this battle. Weapons jammed, blades lost their power-fields or shuddered to a halt, orders were stolen by vox-thieves. Fallen champions were caught out in the open and hounded to death. The Forgotten didn't go alone, they fought with all their might. Havocs

Call to Arms 2025: Week 1

Okay, a day late, but I'm here now and that's what counts!   So, my intention was to go box by box, which meant that the Hormagaunts and Barbagaunts were up first.   This started with a healthy drybrushing of white scars white, like this happy chap      Then, it was time to make things green. I settled for doing 5 Hormagaunts at a time, till they were all the same: (Okay, so all 20 weren't pictured, but they were done!)   With the bas
The building uprising of Prawa V

A debt to pay

I felt I needed some sort of connection between the Prawa V I'd written and the sequel, some 50 years later. It was difficult to choose who to pick, but I think I made the right decision. Our narrator and Łaska will serve as an introduction to Freja (see previous blog entry) and a gateway to the new story, before fading off into the sunset. They've had their story. It's time for them to step aside, but not before firing up the new one.   =====   The sun was low when we return
The building uprising of Prawa V

The Beast awakens

Hi all,   I realise I have not written here for a bit nor have I started on my pledges for the Call To Arms (for shame!). Been a bit occupied travelling and with new job, etc. I've set aside Prawa V and my beloved Resistance for a little. I've finished the story and am going to go back in a month or so with a big, fat, red pen and edit, whilst mostly muttering "what the was I thinking?"   In the meantime, I've started on a sequel set some 50 years later. Here's a small sa
Bouargh´s miniatures´ closet clean-up

U.F.O.

Hi Folks,   As my models enlisted in the CtA25 are slowly drying, I used the time left between to thin layers to drill and pin some various old white metal bits all together. The result is a flying oddity, closely related to a fantasy dwarf lord but fiotted with an enlarged ork chainchoppa and Stormboyz rokkits (as jetpack). A good proxy for a Smash Captain; a proxy Deamonprince or and other flying Harrken from CSM. In a nutshell, a chaos turned Votann Lord!!!

The Host - Body of the Forgotten

The Forgotten are veterans of thousands of years of war. Initmately familiar with all forms of battle, from daring void-raids to full-throated open warfare, to the long, slow stalk of assassination. Each Astartes was forged in the fires of the Heresy against the Warmaster and tempered in the Long War against the Imperium. Their foes have been found wanting and the Forgotten will show them the errors of laxity.    Chosen squad Urial   Chosen squad Neferus Blade to bone Swords

(Space) Elves at work

Hi Folks,   Some 5 days after the kick-off of CtA25, I have managed some serious progress on my first units enlisted in my Xenos' pledge.   Kabalites bodies are now completed and the kit bashed Archon may probably require only a few corrective touches of 0000 brushed plus basing.   You can see bellow that I did not changed my scheme and sticked to the Arkhelian blue. Sorry, it is supposed to be a green.     Next step will be heads and weapons.

Call to Arms 2025: Building a Monster

Firstly, apologies for the radio silence since my last blog, which was also the first in a long while. Life is hectic and depression looms large.   Secondly, this was supposed to be up last night (Call to Arms Eve) but as I don't normally post progress reports till a week after, I figured it was okay.   I briefly mentioned my intent to magnetise a hive tyrant for the event, the centrepiece of my vow, and really, the whole army at this point. So, how did I get on?

What my first vow for CtA25 will look like

Hi Folks,   While the countdown to CtA25 launch date is slowly but surely reducing, it has been time to revisit my list of stuff available for being enlisted. As I am still in the queue for some bases ordered, stuff I need in order to progress on my Corsairs kitbashes (a contribution likely to reach 30/35 pts easily within a more global 70 pts and something of Aeldarii) I have decided to phase my vows in a different order.   The first key decision is to go Drukhari.

Phase 3 - Game 3

Xaphan grinned under his silver skull-helm. This was a foe worth destroying- the fanatical attack dogs of the damned Ecclesiarchy, Sisters of Battle. Their base was filled with statues to the Corpse-God, singing Novitiates praising His name. Xaphan's voice was raised in his infamous castigations, calling his brothers to war. They were unprepared for the Forgotten's speed and hatred. Again Xaphan lead his warband into the heart of the enemy, destroying both Novitiates and Battl Sisters alike.

"Where's Mord," whispered Deputy Govenor Reeta Nirom to Governor Corvin Augulant.      They had been on the Heavy lander for about 2 hours. No information to where they were going, very little small talk or even why.  The flight had been smooth for a while. Governor Augulant scanned the room. There was a noticeable shaking of the Heavy lander.        " He was with us when we boarded. And where is Marshal Dylon, too" responded Governor Augulant.        The heavy lan
