    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

Digressing about Aeldarii Corsairs...

Hi Folks,   My Curiosity/Interest/Call-it-like-you-want has been activated some weeks ago when Valrak's runoured that the Eldar Corsairs could have a kind of extended release of new units forming a new xenos' faction. Incredulity was my first feeling. Indeed, my references, or at least what comes to my mind when Corsairs are mentionned, is the army list published in FW Imperial armour book vol.11: The Doom of Myrmeara.   Since that time, the Drukhari evolved in such a pr

This is a list of important characters I have made backstories for. This list will be updated frequently.   Father Abraham: Formerly known as captain Abram of the Grey Knights, Abraham is the founder of Ordo Celestia & serves as one of its elders.   Mother Sara: Formerly known as Sarai of the Sisters of Silence, Sara is the wife of Abraham & mother of his son, the first Prophet of Eden.

The Golden Star

The Golden Star is a bizarre phenomenon that has eluded explanation. It acts as a sun in the star system, orbited by Eden & 8 other planets. The entire star system appears to be set up in the exact same manner as the Sol system, leading many to wonder what the nature of the system is. According to records kept by the Aeldari, the star was not always a golden color, but only became that way after Eden was conquered by the human pilgrims who would form the Golden Kingdom. It is said that the r

Relationships with other factions

Imperium of Man: Most conflicts with the Imperium come from the Imperial Cult as the two religions conflict with each other. Regardless, Ordo Celestia does offer aid to imperial forces quite often.   Aeldari: The Golden Kingdom sees the Craftworld Aeldari as haughty & pompous. However they are still willing to work with them as necessary.   Dark Eldar: The Golden Kingdom has offered to seek a cure for the Dark Eldar’s need to inflict suffering on others, though this often

The Relictors are dead! Long live the Fire Claws!

Since I'm working on a kill team for the Knives in the Shadows 2025 challenge (you can enter the challenge here, and since that challenge requires me to provide some background, I felt it appropriate to discuss the reasoning behind my (poor?) choices.   If you examine my pledge in that challenge, you'll see that I committed myself to a kill team from the Fire Claws Chapter. Most of you will probably recognize that name, and many of you may know that it is the original (?) n

Volkme its Volkus

With the dust finally having settled on the holiday season I've been able to get back to the painting table with a bit more regularity. My first project of '25 is finishing up my last project of '24, the new terrain set for kill-zone volkus. I assembled and primed the terrain towards the end of October, and picked at it for a month or so before stepping away from my paint table for nearly 2 months. Part of the hiatus was due to the holidays, part due to my annual complete replay of the game Hade

Ordo Celestia

Ordo Celestia is equal parts military order & religious institution, acting as the ruling body of the Golden Kingdom. Though Eden has always had a militia & leadership, only recently have these become reformed into this new Ordo. Founded by Father Abraham (formerly the Grey Knight, captain Abram), Ordo Celestia is an organized military force devoted to the defense of Eden & all worlds controlled by the Golden Kingdom, as well as being the primary forces deployed to conquer ot

"Primarch-Progenitor, to your glory ..."

"By my heart I spurn thee..."

Well another weekend has come and gone and well I got more done on my Exorcists.      I really need to get cracking on my 12 Months of Hobby Vow, but work has been disagreeing with my hobby time....along with waiting on bases to arrive (expected this week) so hopefully I can crank out the 6 Death Watch kill team members and do an easy scheme on the Necrons.

A bit of backstory

Though called the “Scions of the Golden Kingdom” the Imperium refers to them as “the most Heathenous Cult.” According to Imperial records, they are renegades, mostly human, who are enemies & traitors to the Imperium of Man. They not only deny the divinity of the god Emperor, but they also proclaim him to be a deceiver & a hypocrite. Not much is known about them & any records that even mention them or any members associated with them at all are to be purged. This includes encounters &

"Primarch-Progenitor, to your glory ..."

By my will I deny thee......

So I finally started working on my Exorcists Angel of Death Kill Team as part of my Knives in the Shadows vow,     Previously on my Exorcists I used Rub and Buff metallic paint/ wax buff.  This time the models are being primed Army Painter Matte Black then sprayed with Plate Mail Metal.  Once dried a mixture of Speedpaint 2.0 Medium and Carmine Dragon 1:2 mixture applying to the armor.      the color seemsto be a shade darker which is fine.

Drakhearts - Hobby blog and general musings

Wrapping up 2024 and looking forward.

It's been a while since I did a blog post, in fact I haven't posted since completing my Call to arms vow back in the summer. I'd like to say I had a great excuse for not posting, but it was mainly just being distracted by other things such as playing Space  Marine II. I have still managed to carry on building and painting a fair few models in this time and having a free time over the Christmas holidays I've gotten quite a bit more finished.    2024 Completed:     Fo

What if HH Mechanicum units stepped into Indomitus era? - Part 3

Hi Folks,   A third fantasy for the "What-if HH minis were introduced in the 40K SKitarii setting" game series. Thsi time with the Axiarch, a Secutarii leader that will probably prove to be of little to no use in most 40k era game setting.       It is still a Marshal but with some extra buff, it looks like more to a SM Captain in Terminator armour, so set him tentatively at 95 pts, as the SM Captain...   What do you think of this USO (Unidentif

The Accusers Chapter

The Mystery Begins

Fragment of a document reportedly recovered from the space hulk designated Herald of Misery in M38 by the rogue trader Ibram Subicere: Accompanied by a demi-squad of the Inceptors Chapter, Captain Subicere and his crew aboard the Torchbearer were exploring the Anguis Cluster near the Maelstrom. There they discovered the Herald of Misery. Auspex readings indicated that the vessel was comprised of several major vessels and a number of smaller ones, including a few Imperial vessels and pre-
The Accusers Chapter

The Accusers Chapter

The second DIY Chapter I created at the B&C was the Accusers. Actually, that might not be an accurate way of describing it. The Accusers may have existed. Or maybe they didn't.   My goal with this chapter was to explore some of the preconceptions of the community. At one point, the size of the 2nd Founding was set in stone, as defined by the Apocrypha of Skaros. Though many hobbyists tried to shoehorn their DIY chapter into that founding, conventional wisdom was generally to avoid

Still in the Past, But Closer.....Commissions 2023

And here we are 18 months later and all of 2023 to cover....   Kicking off 2023 was actually a minor expansion of 2022's big commission. It consisted of 1 Necron Overlord, and a whole stack more of terrain, and took up the entirety of January to complete.     Next up was Dystopian Wars commission for a USA Fleet in a striking Red, White and Blue scheme, consisting of 25 Ships. These started out fine, but ended up turning into a 8 month long ordeal (The initial quo
