    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

Sternguard/Lieutenant

Had a bit more time to work on building my squads over the last few days, decided to get the Sternguard put together!   No major changes with these guys, added some studs, swapped a few heads around, and used a couple of the old Sternguard heads (which are some of the best going, imho)         And also put the Lieutenant together. I really like the idea of him being a lone covert operative, but I think making him Nid specific was a mistake, both in the min

The Great Adar - Salamanders Venerable Dreadnought

Introduction The Great Adar was a near-1000 year old Astartes who served the chapter as one of it's many revered Dreadnoughts. He was previously known as Bresh’Tan Adar, an Assault Marine Sergeant of the Salamanders 2nd Company. After suffering grievous injuries in combat 840 years ago against the Arch Enemy, his fractured body was interred into the sarcophagus of a Dreadnought. This is when he became The Great Adar, “last survivor of the Drop Site Massacre”. That statement is begrudging ac

The start of a new army project

"The enemies of the Emperor - our enemies - believe us weakened; they believe they can attack His worlds, bringing fire and tumult, till all that remains is the ashes and blood of our defeat. No. When they come, they will find that we stand, that we defy them, and that the ashes and blood which remain is the sign of their defeat." - Chapter Master Noumen Arkos, Ashen Sentinels, prior to the victory at Genovian III   Greetings Frater  I'm starting a new army, one that has (beli

Call to Arms: Week 1

Last week, like many of the people here, I embarked on the Call to Arms forum event, (perhaps foolishly) vowing to paint the Tyranid half of the Leviathan box. This is 47 miniatures in 3 months...easy right?   Let's see how I got on...   The painting started on Saturday night as I drybrushed all the models with White Scar, this didn't take too long and I was set up to move to stage 2 of my process, the green flesh.   I use Ork Flesh Contrast paint here: T

Raptors

Well I have a game on 07/15 against my Friends 1k pts of Nids, Plan is use my Raptors and debating going Phobos/ Scout heavy as they are at least primed or more.  Phobos Librarian is a go and more than likely Revier LT.  Trying to figure out the rest of the force. I may need to build an Impulsor for the Reivers to ride in.    I need to start my Call to Arms vow too....hopefully this weekend

1st Entry: Terminators!

Hello Fraters,   I was going to start a thread in the WIP Forum, but this seemed like a good opportunity to try out the Blog feature. I've not done this before so we'll see how it goes!   So, I've got the Leviathan box Space Marines, which will be painted as Celebrants Chapter. (I've got a Hall of Honour thread here for already finished units) I want to try to convert and add bits to make all of the units a bit different from the stock minis, so expect plenty of kitbashes, gr

10th edition goals (Orks)

As a whole, I am not satisfied with the rules for 10th edition. I still don't want to go into a rant about why, but the TL;DR is that I'm less interested in this edition of the game I've been playing for 20 years then I have at any other edition launch.    But I am still interested in putting my painted models on a table and rolling dice. So instead of trying to fit a square peg in a round hole, I figure that the healthiest thing to do is to approach my hobby from a different point of

Game Pics 02 July 23

Was part of a 3 vs 3 game yesterday. I fought mostly against Orks and Space Wolves. While the score has my team down 1, I'd say I still won with meeting new people and having a close game.   Here's the list     And the game pics.                   Thanks for looking.

Building Leviathan: The Final Day

With a crestfallen heart, I must announce that we've come to the end of this little Building Leviathan series. I mean, It's hard to continue something when it's all built!   Today, all I had to do, was 10 Infernus Marines and 1 Dreadnought...   First up: These went togethed easy enough, though I did wonder about why GW designed them to go together as they did. Like the one Marine where you put the pieces together verticality. Still after an hour or so, I had the fu

Call to Arms 2023 - Stronghold Xenos - 1st Vow

And here is my first vow for the Xenos Stronghold. The equivalent of a Patrol box, changing the Wraithlord for a skyrunner Warlock.     Primed and assemblied, except the Wave Serpent that will be painted hulls and chassis separatly before being glued together. But where did I put the canopy???   All minis are ooP ans have seen for some of them conversions or modifications/swaps: - Wild Riders logo from Dark Elf shield sprue (WFB) - A Dark Elf (?) pol

Building Leviathan: Day 6

Day 6 of building Leviathan and I inch closer to having the whole box built (for comparisons sake I did Indomitus over a period of months and I technically haven't completed AoS's Dominion yet...)   For (Thursday) I completed the Sternguard, and all of them were pretty straightforward with no issues, and I tackled these big boys: Not going to lie, these Terminators went together like a dream. No seams, no awkward fitting parts, just perfection. I'm looking forward to paintin

Raptors vs Ravenguard

So every time a new edition my Raptors get kicked down the stairs.  My Raptors started out as 10th Co with support, 9th saw it adding a ton of Phobos as scouts were not troops. Now 10th ed is upon us and Phobos is not battle line. I was really planning on making my Leviathan, the Blood Angel Combat Patrol, and Boarding Patrol into Ravenguard.  Currently I am leaning towards making them Raptors. I usually play my Raptors as Ravenguard anyways.  I am trading a friend the Drukhari NIB half of Piety

Building Leviathan: Day 5

Day 5 of building the Leviathan box and I finally reach an important milestone!   I started off by going back to the last Tyranid sprue (the one with the Neurogaunts and Barbgaunts) and started clipping off the Barbgaunts. This was a unit that had piqued my curiosity during the reveals, and their unique ability to slow down opponents (doubtful they would actually kill anything but luckily that isn't their primary function). Some of that enthusiasm was drained away by the build as sever

Building Leviathan: Day 4

Day 4 of building Leviathan and the end is in sight for the Tyranids.   I should point out that on average, I get about an hour and a half of free time a day, which isn't a lot for building a box of Leviathan's size!   However the building today was focused on the gaunts. My first task was to get the lsst sprue of Termagaunts done and dusted, bringing the total to a healthy 20. Needless to say, these will not be the last Termagaunts I'll ever build.   With them done

Building Leviathan: Day 3

So Day 3 of building Leviathan and what did I do today*   Well, I was through messing around...It was time for the Screamer Killer (oh, and I guess the Neurotyrant + drones)   The Neurotyrant was a smooth build and i was surprised by the detail that was just covered up by the 'armour', the designers really went to town on him.    The Screamer Killer on the other hand, seemed to have developed a case of gapitis. No matter how much I filed down the contact point

Calgar and Vitrix Honour Guard Completed!

After finishing Calgar and his Honour Guard before the weekend, I was stuck waiting for my basing supplies to arrive before I took a few completed shots.   All in all, I'm really happy with how things have turned out. Sure, improvements can still be made, which will show on the next models I do, which, incidentally, are my Leviathan Marines for the Combat Patrol.   Group Shot   Honour Guard 1   Honour Guard 2   Calgar

Building Leviathan: Day 2

Day 2 of Leviathan building...Let's get to it.   I had a bit more time and more choice, so I decided to get the large, multi-tooth elephant muncher out of the way: The psychophage wasn't a bad build persay but there was some annoying parts. First off, the little legs/arms it has. Unlike the four bigger ones that lock in place, these two little ones don't and they got annoying when it came to putting it on its base as I had to keep adjusting it to make sure it was flat. Second

Earthshaker Carriage WIP

I started preparing an Earthshaker Carriage conversion for my militia.      I'm putting the platform from the basilisk onto the track units from the taurox. This isn't actually glued, it's more of a proof of concept. I have plasticard I'm going to use to add an undercarriage and body to the platform (which will be the tricky bit).

Building Leviathan: Day 1

As I type  its currently the 25th June. Yesterday at 9 in the morning, me and my oldest son took a trip to town and collected this: (the battleboards are just peeking out at the top there)   I had hoped to get stuck in with building but family life had other ideas!   So, late last night, I finally got to work.   The hardest part was choosing what to build first:   After some deliberation, I got to work on these two: It was sort of fit

Leviathan Eve

Well, as I type this, it's June 23rd, so for me, it's Leviathan Eve (I'm not jealous at all of those who got their boxes today at all...).   My prep work is complete, I've got storage boxes started, I've got rattlecan primer ready to go and my colour scheme is sorted. ... What's that? I completed my Tyranid scheme weeks ago? Have I been slacking since then?    Well, since I put that first blog post up featuring my parasite of motrex I did what all good hobbyists sho

Within the big closet cleaning, some Gorkers (or are they Morkers) reappeared a while ago.
