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
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
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
Threw this together via bitz I had: archon, void weaver, and death jester kits. I'll run this model as a character in my corsairs army. Sort of a death jester homage.
I hope to get it primed this week but have no idea when I'll get started on the paint phase.
Thanks for looking.
A bit more progress on the jetbike command squad for my Iron Hands:
Two bikes are already fully assembled with their riders (one with power maul, the other with power fist). These three (and the one I have finished since taking the photo) will be the praetor, the standard bearer and 2 chosen.
I have finished off the fire support squad for the 479th:
With these guys done I have the following complete (bar basing):
1 Fire Support Heavy Weapons Squad
1 Infantry Squad
1 Leman Russ Battle Tank
I have 10 combat engineers/hardened veterans and 4 officers (including a quartermaster) all from anvil which are in the process of being painted.
Still to be primed are:
1 Command HQ (FW)
1 Platoon HQ and Master of Ordna
I have completed the Leman Russ Vanquisher for my burgeoning Solar Auxilia force:
This is a really nice kit, it goes together very smoothly and the rivets and other details (like the vertical movement on the hull gun) really make it stand out as a 30k era vehicle. I have magnetised the hull lascannon so I can swap it for an autocannon if I feel like it, and the gunner's head is a "gothic void helmet" from Anvil Industry. I prefer the look of the Anvil helmets to the GW
A bit more progress on the Krieg, I have managed to get some paint onto this autocannon squad from Anvil:
These are a really nice kit, sharp details but not too busy (which helps for guard infantry) and the customisation options from Anvil are really great.
Hi Folks,
After 5 weeks of challenge, and a welcomed holiday break, I am back to the brushes since last week.
these past 10 days I managed to have some progress, although less lighting fast than it isued to be last year at the same period in the previous challenge. But, hay, it is an endurance run afterall, and I may eventually boost up my productivity latter.
I started with the Serberys mounts. I have been excesively enthusiatic and I did not consider prepainting a
So last night I sat down to organize my Grey Knight Terminators to see how many more I needed to make my Brotherhood Terminators 10 man......cause why not. There are 2 squads that have 8 men, 2 squads have 7 and the last 2 have 6 men. I have 2 unopened boxes of terminators so another 2 more would allow me to max out the 6 squads with Apothecaries and Ancients I could then add ancients to my Paladin squads.
Below is my Terminator Armor 2nd Brotherhood. (Not Shown is Variant Grandmast
General Tactics
Though each Fyrd has its own preferred ways of war, the Greymanes hew generally to two tactical philosophies. The first is deemed the Fragarach (literally 'Unswerving Sword'), wherein Greymanes forces will attempt to rout the enemy force through simultaneous, violent attacks on command and control elements, or failing that, the largest concentration of troops. On the defensive, however, they dig their heels in, seeking to attrite their foes through the inborn toughness of
Just finished up this unit using nothing smaller than a ) brush. It's tabletop ready and replaces a similar unit.
Maybe one day I'll clean up some things I didn't notice until after the photos.
The guy above is definitely going to get some attention.

As the threat of Combat Patrol against my kids looms ever so closer, the more I feel the pull towards my Grey Knights. I have lots of little side projects for them including more banner bearers and increasing squad size. Plus all the vehicles I have for them
Plus getting some of the servants from Skaventide to add to my Inquisition. I think I may have to revisit my Kill Team and I am hoping for a codex soon....
A small update to help remind myself that progress has indeed been made.
Life has continued to be life, and while I've made some time for da boyz, they are many and batch-painting means that progress feels slow. Since the last post I've moved from cloth to what will be the non-khrome metalic portions, put in time on the scales/hides/furs, gotten a first pass on all bones/nails/teeth and continued pick up belts/pouches/bands that I missed on the last go-round. Initially I used the same base c
Hi folks,
As we are at dawn of a new season for KT, it is eventually interesting taken a rear-view mirror into the past 2 seasons. Indeed, they have been quite commented due to their differences, at least in some circles where I evolve. General comments, hot and lives, tended to underline a degradation of the delivered content once comparing the Bheta-Decima Season with the Gallow Dark one.
Let´s see if it fits.

I do apologize for the lack of content I gots the covids, this one hit me hard, 3 days stuck in bed. but I took pics of my current status of my heresy collection.
Hi Folks,
I had a dream, a dream where I could enlist different stuff for CTA24 and the 12 Months challenge. It will remain a dream.
Time being what it is, a rare and limited ressource, I had no choice than enlist a comon entry for the 2 challenges in July. This common entry is the Negavolt Cultist unit (x 10), to be used as a proxy for Electropriests.
I will call them Corpuscarii Zealots. They are designed as something inbetween the electrofists and the power staff, so, up
Hi Folks,
For this year endurance challenge of 12 months of hobby I enlisted a Plodding Along vow that is now complete
The vow consisted into:
1 x Moroch set
1 x Necromunda Market
1 x ooP Fronteris Killzone
1 x Bheta Decima set
1 x Ork Workshop
The work started with the old KilZone - Sector Fronetris. A bargain at 80€. It defined the main colours for the rest of the stuff as the plan was to develop a compete and
I month down and 2 more to go. Still managed to get a fair bit done in the last 2 weeks:
I finished both tidewall components, a Cadre Fireblade and a squad of breachers, as well as their drone turret and a recon drone for the upcoming Pathfinders, which is when I realised that I hadn't allowed for drones in my original pledge! Not sure if the drone port drones should count for seperate points, but at least iwth these other two that takes my target total up to 120pts. Th
Another son has decided on his army. After taking him to lgs and running into friends I have not seen in 4 years or so, one of them converted him from Necrons to Death guard. So he picked up the following Models:
Lord of Virulence
Nauseous Rotbone, Plague Surgeon.
He loves Transformers, Robots, and He-man so I figured it would be Tau or Necrons. He really liked the Necrons but when he saw Mortarion and the Great Unclean one he was hook
I wonder if the general purpose detachments (Gladius taskforce, Berserker Warband, Awaken Dynasty, etc) will cost 3 points? While the more specialized detachments will cost less? What do 1 point detachments look like? Will have have less stratagems? Will they have restrictions?
Regarding missions, I wonder if you pick two detachments with different dispositions, do you get access to more mission objectives? Like your howling griffons, the Terminator detachment might be take on hold
