    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

Further progress.....

Not sure progress is the right word as a nice shiny box full of goodies arrived, adding much more to my pile of shame: So I got stuck in and assemebled an undercoated the Kroot, even made a custom Pech token using a eagle from the bits box. Not sure I'm going to keep the Imperial Navy team, so left them on the sprue. Clipped and assembled all the terrain in the box, very impressed with the kit , highly detailed, but also means it's going to take longer to paint. Now only got find time

Hobby Butterfly - trying to make Terminators "better" -WIP-part3-final

With the first member of the up-scaled Cataphractii painted, I'm kinda surprised to say that the project is complete  I already said in my previous entry, that I'm satisfied with the build. However seeing the result in full color gives that extra layer of confirmation and pleasure. Finis coronat opus if my High Gothic serves me right? Now the nearest goal is to paint the remaining 4 members of the squad. There is another 5 waiting in the sprues too if I fancy.  As far as tryin

Recon squad finished up, bonus statuary.

First Squad finished, i grouped all the bare heads in this half and it pained me :D Turns out after a few years mostly painting SoS my marine face skills have atrophied a bit but i felt a Veteran Recon squad would be full of the types to go bareheaded in a warzone with a big beard!  301502463_10160198129495797_1345052255596126435_n  Still, not my best work overall but perfect is the enemy of finished and their assecories came out alright which is gratifying lol 302335850_10160198129340797_4

Evil Eye's Butterfly Brain Induced Hobby Nonsense

Oh good lord! I made a Space Marine!

What goes around comes around, it seems...After having started the hobby with Tyranids, and having joined this forum doing Chaos Space Marines, I am now finding myself making the subject of this forum's origins- a loyal servant of the Emperor, a Space Marine! This was largely done on account of getting the Firestrike Turret as a gift from a friend, who knew I liked 40K but didn't really know much about it. Whilst the turret itself is an immeasurably helpful source of gun/turret-y bits, the

About last weekend...

Last Saturday saw my most recent battle against one of my oldest friends and long time opponent Graham, it was a 2000pt game using the open war card deck and got the domination objective, with long table edge deployment and storms as the twist reducing movement and advances by 1".  I ended up winning quite convincingly with my opponent conceeding at the end of his second turn, reallising I was already ahead on victory points and he didn't have enough models left at that stage to be ab

Rekrootment drive

+ Kroot – Kindred of the Bloody Moon + Kroot. Kroot. Krooooooot! These charismatic aliens have entranced me since they were previewed, years ago. I even went as far as writing a rather ham-fisted attempt at a Codex that I sent in to the GW studio, and received a very kind hand-written reply from Andy Chambers. Like their Tau sinister overlords absolutely equal trusted partners, I've started – and failed – a few attempts at a Kroot army; as I've never quite been able to capture what I wanted

Spazmolytic's Trip into the Void

A Little Progress

Had a few extra minutes this past long weekend to start on some of the weathering this chap will receive.  Time will be more restricted as these fall months go on so finding the time between fishing & hunting will be sparse but I am going to try for 1 hour per day. Most of these hours will get spent looking at the model to figure if I've missed something then likely 10 minutes of actual paint time.   I was going for more of a car heat shield look over the exhaust, not 100% ha

Why can't I resist new things?

As the title says, why can't I resist new things?  When the return of the Squats was teased on April Fools Day, and then confirmed shortly afterwards as the Leagues of Votann, I got very excited! The Squats were actually coming back - this was an army that was around when I first discovered the GW universe, and it reminded of those good times that you always look back on fondly. I ended up making a couple of videos about it which went down quite well, and I looked forward to seeing wha

Berzerker Champions Revisited

No battles this week, but lots of hobby progress! I've mentioned before that some of the models in this force are very, very old. Remaking these classic models has been on my To Do list for a long time, and the release of the Chaos Space Marine Chosen box as a standalone kit gave me the impetus to finally dive into it.   Validon   Validon's original model was based on the metal Khârn the Betrayer - I had received multiples of the model in a trade about 16+ years ago, so

Waffling on - a Hobby blog about everything

Who am I? An introduction.

Here we go then.   I've been into this crazy hobby since the Second Edition release of Warhammer 40,000, so about 1993 when i started I think. That was my first starter set and I still have fond memories of 2nd edition. I was at high school at the time and my friends all enjoyed the hobby - they were the ones that got me into it, and my first actual purchase was White Dwarf 168 and a metal Space Marine Captain, followed a week later by the 2nd Edition 40K starter box and White Dwarf 16

The Motive Force Was Inside You All Along

Grave Wardens Modeling Done (9/1/22)

Next, going to lay down some paint on the Tactical Squad. It's going to be most of the pre-oil wash steps. The problem is that I was going to order the Death Guard decal sheet along with the energy heavy weapon kit. However, it wasn't released as an immediate follow up to launch. Now the decal sheet is out of stock. It's not a big deal. This is going to mostly be figuring out if I need to keep the bolters separate from the arms for painting. Once I figure that out, I can assemble more infantry.

Hobby Butterfly - and now for something completely different: a Death Cult Assassin

I'm a patron of one of Polish miniature painters - Samuel Skiba-Wojnach - and part of a painting group for a bout a year now. As such, it happens that we paint a miniature together that comes from different setting then WH40k. However I like to incorporate them whenever possible into my 40k collection, because it's both fun and an opportunity to work on my skills outside the comfort zone of Blood Angels' red. And black.... and white.... and gold..... and blue...   Anyway a mini I painted in

Some Quick WIP's

Hey all, I don't know about you but I'm a rather slow hobbyist. 1 figure can take me whats seems like an eternity, manly due to the abundance of things that life throws your way but there is some laziness in there too! I'm hoping this blog helps push me past this stage and into an area that can have me turn out a figure a week if not faster.  So without further ado......    Cerberus as he stands now, still has a ways to go but am happy with the progress so far.

Accountability August

Bingo 2022 august  Sooo the last couple of years ive been using the White dwarf hobby bingo, (Or now, technically a variant of it?) to keep account of all the things ive finished. Its been very useful as a spur to complete stuff over the long dark between events so i kept it up. I made my own grid this year because GW didnt make the new one available online for whatever reason and i do an accountability post most months on my FB, i figured it also made sense to do it here, on the day my copy

Battle 7: 50PL vs Imperial Knights, Tech Hunt

27 August, 2022 With the Cruentes' supply lines well and truly solidified (Warfleet Glory has been at 7 for several games now), Kratus has set about raising as many edifices to the glory of the Bloodfather as possible. However, in this small satellite city of Hive Secundus, a cultist coven has alerted the Cruentes of a hidden cache of Mechanicus artefacts. Eager to add these to his arsenal, Kratus leads a force to recover them - and pile some skulls in the process. Fortunately for his warri

Hobby Butterfly - trying to make Terminators "better" -WIP-part2

Found myself some hobby time during the weekend and managed to finish the cloth surplices and plates extensions for the Terminators. Once that cured, I added the waist chains, fasteners, some bling in the form of acrylic tear-drops (nail decoriations) in various places and even built up some bases. So without further ado here is the whole squad as it is now: I think the Sergeant in the middle could also use some kind of icon on the top of the hood to further distinguish him. Or perhap

Hobby Butterfly - trying to make Terminators "better" -WIP-part1

With the Primaris range came problems for some of the most iconic units of the 40k universe, the Terminators. They just don't look good next to new sculpts. Especially the Indomitus sculpts.  I've been having an idea of upscaling them for quite some time, but never really gathered the courage to try. That is probably in no small part because I want to keep as much of the original sculpts as possible. I had some ideas... and then HH startex box dropped and I found myself in possession of the

Starting off

Hello folks!  I've been wanting to start wih something nice and smooth. Something about my hobby way or history but in the end I just couldn't get to it properly. So instead I chose to start with where I am at the moment. I own a considerable force of Blood Angels - my first 40k love. I have around 12.000 pts worth of painted models and a solid chunk of those is my 5th Company, the Daemonbanes. It's almost ready barring a few bodies and I plan to showcase them here slowly while I updat
