    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

    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

The Beginning of a 2E Style Order of Our Martyred Lady army

Still WIP, but I'm liking how she's turning out.   The hair/cloak outside is Necromancer Cloak given 2 coats of Nuln Oil and highlights of 1:1 Necromancer Cloak to Uniform Grey. That was the most involved part.   Armor is TTC Death Reaper given highlights of Thunderhawk Blue.   Gloves are TTC Boar Hide.   Inside of the Cloak is TTC Demon Red, to add some contrast.

Da Assembled Krew - Getting the Green Tide rolling

Had to wait a few days for it, but the final bits for the project came in. Also I guess this now officially doubles to track my Call to Arms entry The Felgore's team prominently features a shaman, and fortunately for me GW made the perfect weirdboy for the beastsnaggaz. Unfortunately its only sold as part of the kill-rig, lucky for me a broken one was being sold as part of a larger lot over on r/miniswap. A bit of work with a knife and some plasticard and my shaman had arrived.  I must've b

Greymanes Prēost

This fella's undercoat was a little frosty, but as I am told, that's common in the summertime (especially here in the Deep South).  Prēost — The equivalents of Chaplains within the ranks of the Greymanes. Their head is the Heah-Prēost, whose office combines the duties of the Chief Apothecary, Reclusiarch, and Master of Sanctity. Whilst the Chaplaincy and Apothecary are effectively one organization, the remits of a singular Prēost are either spiritual or medical, and never combined. Their roles

WIP Chaplain

I've had this Chaplain lying about for a while. I was feeling down and lonely earlier, so I decided to prime him and start basecoating.  Vallejo Model Color Buff on the 'ribcage'. TTC Boar Hide for leathern parts. TTC Death Reaper for the Armor A mix of Boar Hide + Doom Death Black for the robes, to get a dark brown.   I do have a bit more progress than this to show off later, but I haven't taken any pictures of it yet.

Solar Auxilia Leman Russ

I couldn't resist picking up the new Solar Auxilia Leman Russ when it came out in plastic (plus I will be able to see how compatible the Anvil Gothic Void heads are with SA plastic bodies):      It is a bit further along than this but I don't have any photos.    I really like the build experience so far, everything slots together so neatly which is nice. I will be making this one a Vanquisher but will also magnetise the hull weapons for a bit of flexibility.

Iron Hands Tanks

I have finished off painting the Land raider phobos for my Cataphractii Terminators:    I have also made a start on the Sicaran Battle Tank:    Once these are done, I will move onto the Predator and the remaining Rhino before tackling the infantry (some of whom are fully painted).

SESSION THREE:   I'll start altering the titles of the Blog entries to advertise a little better what's on the menu, since the entry names are kind of sterile and hide the content from those who might be looking for something else.

How to pretend not to start a GSC army - Part 3

Hi folks,   After last post presentation of the HW squads, we left the story to a point where I was left with the Truck and 11 bodies to be kitbashed.   The Truck, as a proxy Taurox, does not require much work: weapon system is dual autocannon, as the genuine model, and removing the cult emblems and adding some Imperium symbols was not a big deal. The same with swapping the machine gun for a sanctionned stormbolter (after all these kit bashed are supposed to be SW auxillaries

Necromunda market completed

Hi folks,   After 5 months and a half, I finally completed my Plodding along vow. Last part was the Necromunda market. This set was initially selected in order to represent a sumptown or refugee tents installed among the ruins of the Sector Fronteris that is the core of this table.    I did not enjoy painting this set. Too much small stuff that are not really useful or necesary for a gaming table (Mugs, Mung vases...) except for marking objectives, but hey, Objectives markers

Kit bashing and gap filling

Had a few peaks and valleys in the Khromeboys project since the last post. Started in on modding the rest of da boyz. 5 models for the compendium team are in their vanilla configurations with no kit-bashing, but the rest are all proppa kustom. I wanted my Felgores proxies to be easily identified WYSIWYG comparisons to their beastmen counterparts, fortunately since the majority of them are some version of "melee weapon and pistol" its an achievable goal. I didn't take great photos during the whol

Call To Arms Update #1

Well weekend is over  and my amazing fiancé and future kids spoiled me yesterday for Father's Day by giving me some hobby time.  I did not want to waste it but I also decided I wanted to smoke a Pork Loin for dinner so I bounced between hobby room and smoker in the afternoon/ evening.   Saturday night finished building the Kratos Turret and plow.     As I told my friend @The_Oni_of_Hindsight after all these years of playing/ building 40k, the Kratos is the first " M

How to pretend not to start a GSC army - Part 2

Hi folks,   Last post of the series introduced the reasons behind buying a GSC Patrol box (the old one) in order to get the base for kit bashing IG infantery squads. The fact that I have a sweet remember of these guies is probably not completely disconected to the selection of Neophyte Hybrids models instead of Orlocks gangers as a starting base. Even if after a carful look,        As for using Sktarii heads on other bodies, I had already tried it, more or less succ

53rd Army Group

I have bits of background for my Imperial Guard project scattered throughout my WIP thread in the barracks so I figured I should put it all in one place; so here goes:    Army group numerical designation: 53 Officer Commanding: Lord General Matthias Fischer Commissariat supervision: Lord Commissars Bane and Helgen. Operational Strength: Less than 1%   Composite Units: Cadian 1st Infantry Regiment "The Sentinels" Cadian 223rd Artillery Regiment

Primaris Champion

I finally got around to assembling the Primaris Champion I picked up when it went MTO:      This was a very easy assembly as the model is push fit, I only needed plastic glue for where the two right arm parts meet. I'm not really playing 40k at the moment so this is more just a painting project and collection piece.

Another Sentinel

I have begun work on a second sentinel for the militia, this one will also have a converted multimelta:      In terms of aesthetics I actually prefer the look of this one for heresy than the old sentinel, I'm not really sure why it just feels more appropriate for militia.

Senior Officer

I have completed building the mini for Lord General Matthias Fischer, the commander of the 53rd Army Group:   Parts wise he is mostly the standard Castellan with the sheathed power sword from the Cadian Command Squad and the addition of a patrician cloak from Anvil Industry's regiments range. I just need to decide on a paint scheme and build a command squad to accompany him (possibly based on the rogue trader voidsmen).

Which Company for my Bladeguard - help me choose!

Call to Arms has started, and I'm going to paint a squad of Aggressors for it  But at the same time, I'm painting three Bladeguard Veterans; I'll chip away at these in the background, aiming to have them done by the end of the year.      In the meantime, I'm mulling over which Company these Veterans are going to be from  They're intended to go with the Boarding Patrol I've already completed, which is from the 4th Company. I had originally intended that these would be from th

Session Two

SESSION TWO:   Well, I've been busy again. I've thrown myself into weird and wonderful projects because I can, and I have the time. It has also served me to look at something other than a bloody computer scream (no, not a typo), and has allowed me to just get lost in a project, no matter how much hair it still causes to fall out. It has been a bit of trial and error, but I got where I wanted in the end. Looking at the RT WH40K Compendium is absolutely lethal.   Now it just so

Call To Arms- Vow

I am proud this year to pledge my Allegiance to the Horus Heresy Stronghold in the name of Emperor! My Vow break down later.   One of my favorite things about the B&C community is the 12 Months of Hobby Challenge and the Call to Arms Model building and painting events. @Grotsmasha has done a great job at keeping these events going over the years.  I am getting married in November this year, so I am hoping to get back into the 12 Months of Hobby Challenge next year, as a way to keep
