    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

    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

Come on, we're not that old...

Is this thing on?

This is going to be a mess. I haven't blogged in forever. Last time, I think, was in 2013, and that was just before I left Greece and migrated to the UK. My head feels like an open filling cabinet, who someone forgot outside during a tornado. And I think a kid swallowed the keys as well.   A while back, I saw a video from a youtuber where he said something that resonated with me so much, that I am now carrying it with me as a scar. Very few things stay with me these days; when you grow

What Do I Need to Buy to Finish My Army?

I was originally saving my money for a Telemon Dreadnought, but with the September price increase looming, I thought I would try and add some more stuff to the army.   Any advice you can give would be super helpful.   Here's what I have right now:   1 × Shield Captain with Sword and Shield    5 × Custodian Guard with Sword and Shield    5 × Custodian Guard with Spears   1 × Caladius Grav-tank    1 × Contemptor-Achillus Dreadno

My chapters Chaplains.

I’m pleased with how these guys turned out.  They act as “Sergeants” to my battleline berserking units who play as Death Company.  My chapter are non psyching rejects of Grey Knights with a Zen Buddhism vibe.  I’m not a fan of the look of GW chaplains so these Inner circle companions with the Steampunk old skool knight helmets and hoods made from green stuff.  To make them wysiwyg I added some aftermarket maces.  I shaved off some of the more ostentatious bits of the models and glued those extra

CtA 26 -Pteraxii

Hi Folks,   This summer of 26 is really to be marked as an awful era for painting. With all the heat waves (and no climatization), a large amount paints has dried out and my hobby productivity as dropped down. Over the past 5 weeks or so I have managed to paint from scratch a little bit less than 10 models: 5 dwarves for ToW and 5 Pteraxii.   But wait a minute. 5 Pteraxii? Weren’t these a part of my pledge for CtA26? Yes, they are. And they also were the last minis still undo

My First 11th edition Combat Patrol experience.

(Tyranids) A bloodbath.   My mate @Peck and I have only played a few games of 10th edition ComPat and usually The Vardenghast Swarm v the slow, plodding Captain Octavius.  Tyranids usually always won with a big melee presence, some decent abilities and the tanky Psychophage. We want to move on before we get too used to the rules of 10th, even though we still struggle

Requesting Color Scheme Painting Assistance for Ghostodes

Okay, I've decided on a Grey Seer primer, an all over wash of Hexwraith Flame  and finally a light to medium drybrush of Uluthuan Grey.   How's this sound? Hopefully,  it works out...   Now here's my problem. Im going to make the cloak of my Ghostly Valoris red like the King of the Dead.    How do I do that, without making it clash with the rest of the model?

Plague Marines: caster

To be honest, I don't really like this miniature; something feels off. I tried to make the metal dull and added dirt and grime. But I'm not sure how well it turned out.  I'm generally not a fan of dirt on miniatures, as it usually obscures the model itself. Here, I tried to make the dirt visible without obscuring the main paint job.

Thallaxia

Thallaxia Chapter 1 Flame was all around him.  The transport slammed into the ground at rapid speed, and the undercarriage began to peel away as they dragged.  Explosions rolled in series from the direction of the impact, before the ship caught on something, and began to tumble.  On its third roll the ship came to a sharp halt, and Lukan became pinned in the wreckage.  He was wounded, something pierced his armor.  Fires grew around him.  He only felt the pain as he looked down to see it, a j

Blood Spelunking!

Blood Spelunking Prologue The Veyrfall Temple of Water was still once. The waters came from cracks in the stone high up and tumbled down the many rings of walkways that lined the temple walls. It would flow so perfectly one might mistake it for glass. It cascaded down the stone work, gathering into scores of reflecting pools that filled and drained at a constant rate, giving the appearance of a rippling sheet. The flow continued to the grotto below that burbled with springs and geysers, sprea

New Fiction: The Revenant Host

THE REVENANT HOST     Extract from the private journal of Rogue Trader Lord-Captain Lucian Josephus Vale XVIII, Warrant of Trade Imperator's Mercy.     I have seen the dead walk.   Not the shambling corpses of plague worlds, nor the witch-spawned things that crawl from the Warp. I have seen those thrice cursed horrors often enough that they no longer surprise me.   These were different.   They came without warning.   We had be
andes' First Founding Project

Death Guard

I painted this guy not too long ago. I've had a bit of a love-hate view of the Death Guard. I like the body horror elements in spite of not actually being a "body horror guy", but I really don't care for the cartoonish dancing Nurgling vibe. Thus the slight compromise of painting the Marine minus the over-meme'd Sassy Nurgling. Anyways, here he is:

Angels of Death: Done

It was wonderful. Everyone loves to paint yellow... Finished painting the sniper. He's another unusual character on the team. According to the attributes on his armor, and this is Crux and instead of the seal of purity, a skull in an iron halo, he is at least lieutenant. I made it as nondescript as possible (as far as is possible for an imperial fist.   And my pledge is actually complete. Here's the whole crew, the dreadnought, and the ruins. Actually there is one unpledged

Knight Destrier finished, Word Bearers incoming, and soon Votann Beserks

Well, been a busy couple of weeks, so I haven't updated in a while. I managed to finish off painting my Knight Destrier in time for my painting comp (didn't place, but didn't expect to given the high level of competition we have there) and finally figured out how to do Ironkin Beserks.    First up, Destrier of House Romlas-      I'm pretty happy with him, fits in well with my other Knights and wasn't too much of a pain to put together or paint.

Angels of Death: Intercessor

So next one is ready. It's a simple intercessor and I leave him unscratched. I tried to make his yellow as pure as possible. I also managed to find the right colors for the bags and holster.  I made it completely flat matte and painted all the highlights myself.  A very funny experience.  As for gun I use same approach as for dreadnought gun. Every time NMM is easier and easier. Now I wanna paint something like very shiny knight or space marine or knight - space marine

Khymara Hive Primaris

So I did something.....

Besides changing the Blog name......I purchased another gang- Spyre Hunting Party.       While this Gang is ideally is for "Arbitrator" Games along with @The_Oni_of_Hindsight's Palatine Enforcers as "Arbitrator" force to cause Havoc in the Underhive of Hive Primaris on Khymara. I may play this as my gang as I continue my Redemptionist and possibly a Generic Venerator Gang out of Hive Scum. I may do generic Gang for Metal Head Armory's Necromunda Campaign.

Planning second half of the year 2026

Hi Folks,   After a summer break (I would say “well deserved”, yet due to the consecutive heatwaves and wildfires, I would not pretend I’ve capitalized any rest on these 2 weeks off duty…), it is time to resume my hobby part. I am currently at 5 models for completing my CtA 2026 pledge. And as I still have a few armored containers, a tectonic fragdrill and 2 Armigers knights in the waiting line, I may eventually fill another pledge right after that.   Yet my backlog has

Warhammer Necromunda Skirmish......Necromunda 2026 (N26)

I caved.....sort of.    I have been a fan of Necromunda for a long time. And as a good and loyal servant of the Emperor, I like playing Cawdor back in the Older Necromunda days and now focus on the Cult of Redemption. I still have a few of plastic the Redemptionists, Cawdors, and weapon sets. Plus the Resin versions of weapons/ heads, and Characters.  None of the vehicles for them though.  I also do have Delaque and Eschers from previous boxsets, just not into those gangs.

Angels of Death: Sergeant

And the sergeant is ready. I slightly changed the color scheme by removing two unnecessary (as it seems to me) colors.  Overall, I'm happy with the result, except for the helmet. Red is a really finicky color for me. I'm left with an unused captain that I don't want to use in the kill team. I'll try to make a blood angel out of him.
