    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

    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

    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

The Forgotten, a Fallen warband on Crusade

Phase 3 - Game 3

Xaphan grinned under his silver skull-helm. This was a foe worth destroying- the fanatical attack dogs of the damned Ecclesiarchy, Sisters of Battle. Their base was filled with statues to the Corpse-God, singing Novitiates praising His name. Xaphan's voice was raised in his infamous castigations, calling his brothers to war. They were unprepared for the Forgotten's speed and hatred. Again Xaphan lead his warband into the heart of the enemy, destroying both Novitiates and Battl Sisters alike.

The Enemy does not sleep, nor shall we. - Chapter II part 1

"Where's Mord," whispered Deputy Govenor Reeta Nirom to Governor Corvin Augulant.      They had been on the Heavy lander for about 2 hours. No information to where they were going, very little small talk or even why.  The flight had been smooth for a while. Governor Augulant scanned the room. There was a noticeable shaking of the Heavy lander.        " He was with us when we boarded. And where is Marshal Dylon, too" responded Governor Augulant.        The heavy lan

The Enemy does not sleep, nor shall we. - Chapter I part 7

The Aquila Lander and Valkyrie hovered at massive hanger doors as they opened. Both flew into the hangar and landed as the door closed behind them. As the ramp dropped on both aircrafts, the passengers began disembarking. A massive heavy lift aircraft sat in the middle of the hanger, its cargo bay was open. Inside you can see Aquila Lander and 3 Valkyries class aircraft being secured. The Inquisitorial Aquilions began moving towards the massive aircraft. Load crews and servitors began moving the

MacFarlane figure Complete!

Finished the details of my MacFarlane figure that I'll be using for reference for painting the colour-shift style I'm going for with my chapter armour.  The figure was sprayed with Rust-Oleum "Cosmic Blue" Colour Shift rattle cans (with the correct undercoat), and everything else was hand painted with good old Citadel paints. The spray paint was... not great to work with to be honest: It was, and still is, very sticky, so I have to be careful what I was holding it with, and because it's col

Reinforcements inbound

Well Mikey's birthday was yesterday and he got some Baron of Dice Ultramarine dice, Inceptors, Aggressors, and Ancient. But the Eradicators "were" delivered but they were not in my mailbox or USPS did not leave the key for the lockbox...   My other son, Chris got his Combat Patrol Necrons so he has gotten closer to fielding an army but still a ways off.     
The Forgotten, a Fallen warband on Crusade

Phase 3 - Game 2

The Aeldari were holding a line, defending a section of city for their own inscrutable reasons. Squads of Striking Scorpions prowled the flanks while Eldrad, Guardians, the Void Reapers, and Wraithguards were spread out among the centerline. It mattered not to the Forgotten. Not the Xenos' defensive plans, their witcheries, or their vaunted battle skills. Galgaliem bikers formed the Fallen vanguard, capturing breachpoints and holding them while Rhinos transported reinforcing Legionaries. Havo

The Enemy does not sleep, nor shall we. - Chapter I part 6

Lady Satzie Lucotor, Descendant of House Ko'Iron, Prima Materis of the Khymara Prime, Hive Secondus, Priestess of God-Emperor Mankind, were her know titles. Rumors swirled she was head of the Cawdor gangs in the Underhive, but very few knew she was also the Matriach of the House of Redemption in the Khymara sector. As she sat in her grav throne her 2 Frateris Bodyguard with their red jackets stood on either side of her throne. The Cherubs fluttered around with censor and speaker. Lady Lucotor's

Armored Support acquired......

Well that was not planned....   I have a bunch of Phobos, more than I probably need or can use. It is all infantry and outside of the Suppressors and the one of the two squads of Eliminators having las-fusils, lack big guns. Plus the Scouts Sniper Rifle and Heavy Bolter.  Adding another Suppressors is out of the question, as they are expensive money wise. So how do I add big guns to the list.   So I was able to pick up a Gladiator kit Lancer will be added (well the

The Exorcists- The Hexbreakers

Despite their similarities to the Grey Knights, the combat doctrine of the Exorcists differs greatly. Unlike the Grey Knights, the Exorcists possess no special resources other than hardened resolve to fight the Daemonic, and are more strategically flexible due to their adherence to the Codex Astartes. They are known for their effective reconnaissance and large use of Scouts, deploying them behind enemy lines to collect intelligence. Indeed, many of these Scouts undertake combat duties that would

Steel and Fire - The Armored Might of the Forgotten

He of the Host of Iron of Old Terra, Marshal of the Ironwing, Seneschal  of the Order of Ruptured Paths, and now named Tech-smith of the Forgotten. Dar-kun sees to the wounds of the steel beasts that bring his brothers to battle, to the behemoths of war that unleash burning hell. For countless years has this Tech-smith labored to keep his charges running and fighting, welding armor to wounds and shoring up failing engines in the heat of battle. His hammer drips with the blood of the hated Imperi

The Forgotten, a Fallen warband on Crusade

Phase 3 - Game 1

The Forgotten were under attack, taken by surprise. Scores of squat power-armored bodies moved in disciplined ranks against the Fallen. Bulbous wheeled transports filled the air with fire as crackling teleporters brought even heavier-armored squads into the Angels' back lines. Xaphan and his men did not buckle under the pressure, driving the invading "Kin" back and showing them the power of eons of hate. It was too little though, as the stubby Abhumans managed to find the whatever it was their g

The Iron Snakes take a trip into the past

It’s been a while since I last posted anything here. I’ve been quietly tinkering away on my Iron Snakes project in the background and managed to squeeze in a few games here and there. But honestly, I was finding it tough to stay motivated. I tried pushing through, but it slowly dawned on me that I wasn’t really enjoying the direction 9th and 10th edition 40k were heading. As awesome as the new Marine sculpts are, I much prefer the older aesthetic. Maybe that’s because of my rose-tinted glasses f

How to save an half sliced Banshee

Hi Folks,   As part of the various tasks listed on my To Do List, one entry was associated to the rescue of an old miniature I have for years. A Banshee exarch model that I bought when GW made the trasition from lead models to White MetalTM. Youngsters among us probably won't understand what it is about. But to make it short: it is a good synonym for a long long time ago!!!    This model was initially bought in order to recover the power axe and model it as a hand weapon for

The Enemy does not sleep, nor shall we. - Chapter I part 5

"How dare you," screamed Deputy Governor Reeta Nirom at the robed man.      "Colonel, I suggest you stand down immediately," calmly said the Black Armored figure standing next to the robed man holding a Hot-Shot lasgun aimed at her.       There was 20 of the Black Armored figures in the room. All carrying Militarum Tempestus Scion style weapons. their eye glowed red, bone skull paint on their facemasks. No ranks, no ribbons, no markings at all. Their sudden appearance as they
A Forgotten World - Now A Bastion Of Hope

Origin And Forging

Treya was little more than a footnote in the annals of the Ullanor Crusade. Neither Ork nor Astartes set foot upon its soil, nor was its system marked by any great battle or tactical significance. Of its five planets—only one held any promise for habitation. Even then, only half of the planet’s surface was considered viable for colonization, the rest locked in an endless cycle of freezing and flooding due to the planet’s extreme axial tilt. Where ice did not entomb the world, tidal deluge follow

The air was thick with lasbolt rounds from lasrifles, las pistols, multilaser off the chimera, auto rounds from autoguns and auto pistols, Heavy stubber rounds, solid slug rounds from the combat shotgun as the unknown assailants and the Vigilant squad 83 and Marshal Mat Dylon engaged each other. It felt like thirty minutes of combat had passed but it was less than 2 minutes since the gunfight had started.       "Vigilant Phard, I know your busy, with this gunfight, but anything on Comm
