    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

Battle Report: Adeptus Titanicus - Tempestus v Xestobiax

In the trip to WHW, we also all brought our tiny titans, being one of the funnest games GW makes (probably). I managed to get a quick 1250pt game in against @Olis's Legio Xestobiax and their Black Iron cores.    I was using (and forgot to use the rules for) a Ferrox light maniple with additional reaver (+1 to armour rolls within your scale in inches) against Olis's nimble Corsair maniple:   Tempestus Indefatigable (Indy): Reaver (princeps) - melta, gatling, turbo laser,

Battle Report: Craftworlds vs Alpha Legion

I had a trip to WHW with a few other B&C folk a couple of weeks ago and managed to get some games in, mostly with @Excessus, either playing with or against him!   It's been a while since he'd played, so we just did primaries on a random mission, which turned out to have 5 objectives, we did 5pts per command phase for each objective held, and used nachmund rules.    My list 1250pts Craftworlds Patrol - Swift strikes and mobile fighters Autarch, Warlord, 2+" move,

Introduction

Welcome to the blog! This is the first step in my testing out one of the new shiny functions of the Bolter and Chainsword since it crossed the Rubicon Primaris in 2022. I'm still a slave to the old ways, so will be claiming this first post for usage as a directory of sorts, of needed. This isn't intended to replace my other painting logs, the Blood Angels, Tyranids, Chaos, Xenos and Heresy Blogs you might have already seen, but to compliment them. I see this is more a repository for completed wo

Spazmolytic's Trip into the Void

I've succumbed to the power of Chaos (Updated)

Wow its been a spell!! That whole work/life balance thing has been out of whack but its starting to level out again, a very positive thing. With the out of balance thing mind ventured into areas I never really went to before, namely Chaos!  Sure I've painted a few Underworlds Warbands & the odd Death guard model but the 40K Chaos astestic never really appealed to me. Aspects of it for sure but most seemed to GWAR-ish for my taste. Now I have followed many peoples Blogs over the years & h

Zero bits challenge progress

In a previous blog post I spoke about the self imposed Zero bits challenge that I have decided to follow in order to clean up all of the spare bits generated by my miniature purchases. Today I want to speak about the overall progress I have made since I initially started with this challenge and give an overview of what is still pending to be done. Some time ago I have create a spreadsheet to track my purchases and my progress in terms of building and painting and eventually I decided t

Waffling on - a Hobby blog about everything

The Wallet did break, or rather I did.

Hello folks - welcome to 2023!    If you read my last blog entry, which by the way was too long ago, you will know that the reveal of new Astra Militarum aka Imperial Guard minis had me quite excited, and I talked about trying to resist starting a Guard army, especially if other regiments were to get the same update treatment as the Cadians. The new stuff is fantastic, and following that last blog entry there were some other reveals too, such as the Lord Solar (BraveStarr) on his steed

Regiments of Abistrev

Surrounded by interdimensional space storms for many centuries, the system of Abistrev was completely isolated from the rest of the Empire and thus deviated from the organization of the forces from the nearby systems. Knowing the storms would end one day, the Abistrevians trained hard, creating powerful and disciplined regiments, well prepared for defensive roles, especially when garrisoning fortifications like the large city-bunkers where most of their population lived. After the defeat

Brutality of Boarding Actions

So after a long hiatus, due to work, I was able to hang out with my local gaming group, Metal Head Armory, for some much need Grim Dark action. I played 3 games of Boarding Action all with my Grey Knight Terminator Strike force and we played Mission 6 form the current White Dwarf # 484.    My list: Blades of Victory Brotherhood Brotherhood Librarian (Stormbolter, halbred, warp changing & Empyric Amp)  5 terminators (Justicar Daemon Hammer, Psycannon, halbreds) 5

The end is but a new beginning...

First full entry with pics coming soon.  This is the start of my return to The Bolter & Chainsword after a long time away.  I have been working on my 6th Death Guard army since the start of 8th, and it is nearly finished, just 10 models to go.  I have owned a Death Guard army in every edition since 2nd, and my latest one is almost finished being painted.  This blog will catalogue the end of that project and the start of a new one, Dark Angels in 2023.  Dark Angels was my first real army whic

The Aksha'i Cruentes: The Bloodthirsty Legions

THE CRUENTES   Arkrath, the Hand of Khorne DAEMON PRINCE, 11PL       For ten thousand years, the Astartes who would become Arkrath, Kratus, has led his warband of Chosen Terminators. Entering the Long War as a veteran warrior in the ranks of the XII Legion's Terminator elite, Kratus was frequently found in the most bloody of battles. This boldness amassed for him a significant following of Terminators, and they adopted the moniker of Red Butchers, once a reviled and piti

Zero bits challenge

One thing that has always bothered me since I started the hobby back in 2018 is how many spare parts you can end up with after building your miniatures. With infantry/characters this typically means extra heads, arms/weapons or gear that are useful for customization purposes or to make slightly different forces, but which end up on sprue or on your bits box.   Since I dislike wasting stuff I have decided some time ago to put in practice a self imposed zero bits challenge, with the

Let's talk about existing Crusades and new Codexes

With Codex: World Eaters just around the corner, I thought it was time to bring up the topic of how to approach a new codex release with an existing Crusade.   The natural reaction to any new Codex might be to simply start again, but I find that solution extremely unsatisfying. Being a narrative format, it would be disappointing to simply throw out all the narrative development I've put into this force so far.   On the other hand, the Chaos Warband rules for CSM are pretty po

Murdax's New Butchers

Terminators have to be some of my favourite models in the game. Personal tank armour? Hell yeah!   I've been sitting on a couple of boxes of the newer Chaos Terminators for some time, but have been hesitant to build them with Codex: World Eaters around the corner, especially since some earlier rumours suggested that there wouldn't be any Terminators at all. Now that we've seen all the releases and have multiple leaks indicating that Terminators are still in, I feel a lot more comfortab

Arkrath the Ascended, Hand of Khorne

Took a month, but Arkrath is finally done!     Painting red Daemonic flesh when the model is also wearing red armour is always tricky, so I went with the option of painting the flesh like a redder version of his moral skin tone.      Of course, had to slather on the blood for the oversized chainfist!     I expanded on the rock that the Daemon Prince model comes with, making it feel more like the type of rocks the rest of the army uses.
