    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

    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

Making Servitors from ooP Necromunda Pit-Slaves - #1 glue and guns

While looking for Eldar metal bits (see Call to Arms 2023 entries) I casualy encountered 4 bodies of old Necromunda Pit Slaves. They were probably coming from a swap I did years ago and I had forgotten these lads. But what to do with them???   Servitors!   It is not that the unit itself ios really worth but at least it has character. So, as I was missing most arms, I refreshed these models´ extremities using spare bits from the Kataphron sprues. In order to stick to an AdMech

Leman Russ Exterminator Conversion, Brick Wall Experiment #1

Exterminator Leman Russ The last time I had an exterminator painted, I think it had pewter barrels (3rd ed?). But, the index exterminator rules are at least interesting for the first time in an age. It's 'withering hail' rule means that if this main gun hits, for the rest of the phase the rest of my army gets another pip of AP against the unit that was hit. And, since the main gun has 'twin linked' it's likely to actually score hits. Still, with vehicle toughness systemically improving this

Drukhari Archon

All done except for the sealing coat.    This guy is a test model. It uses the same colors as the witches, but it differs from the corsairs and existing kabalites. The latter is teal, not turquoise.    Obviously I've been going for quantity over quality lately. I'm shooting for these models to look good from several feet, not a few inches away.   Here's the pics.           Thanks for looking.

The cost of 10th - What I will have to spend to legalize my armies

The release of the Indexes has introduced some changes in unit composition and minimums. Some of the armies I gathered in the past will have to go through a good face lifting in order to be able to be fielded under the new unit canons.   I am no affected for the big Space Wolves faction of mine - sure a lot of stuff is probably not as it should be per the Index but I bet I have more than enough to rebalance and equilibrate some legal squads without necessity of investing again.

Rite of War

Here is my first attempt at a little snippet of fanfiction, along with accompanying pictures...I apologise for the quality!       "Brother Gregorius," the Chaplain said, his voice as full of gravel as the ruined battlefield he walked on. The sounds of battle did nothing to muffle his voice. The space marine walking a step behind him didn't speak, as a Judicar, he'd taken a vow of silence, instead he nodded solemnly. He knew what was about to be asked of him, and he hefted his execution

Militia Field Gun

A bit of progress on the militia today, I got a field gun with kalliope mortar assembled.    I made a few minor alterations; taking off the foot rests and the mounts for the tv screen; which I feel improve the overall look of the model.    Now I need to make some adjustments to the crew.

Preparing to Call to Arms 2023 - Colour testing

I joined B&C during the BCK Vehicle Challenge in 2022. It has been a great source of motivation in order to stop procrastination and reboost my modelling and painting.  The Call to Arms challenge will be another motivation to refuel the dynamics, which has slowed down a little bit lately.   My first objective is declutering of some Aeldari minis I have in a crate for 20+ years, barely assemblied and primed. At the time they were Eldars, not Aeldari... My first vow will be

TTCombat Paints and Ultramarines

Recipe for colours used to date.

Keeping in mind this blog is designed to showcase the TTCombat paints, and my (limited) painting ability with them, here is the recipe I have been using to date.     The main blue armour is as follows:   Throwing Shade Blue and Thinner Medium mixed in a 3:2 ratio for the base layer. Poster Boy Blue and Thinner Medium mixed in a 2:1 ratio for the mid-tone. Vega Blue Grey and Thinner Medium mixed in a 2:1 ratio for the edge highlights.   The "whit

Medical emergency, delays in shipments.

Greetings,   Unfortunately, my work trip has taken a turn. I am now dealing with a family medical emergency in a foreign country and it looks like my return date may not be the 22nd of June. Obviously my focus is on my family member's health crisis at this time. All inquiries, and indeed all order shipments will be replied to as I am available, until my eventual return to the office and full availability. If you have an outstanding order and would like to cancel at this time,

First Post: Let's Go

To showcase what somebody of average ability can do with the upcoming TTCombat Paints, I present my first Ultramarines in their current WIP state.     Yes, they are all in Subassemblies.  I'm also going to be adding my progress once my Leviathan box arrives. I'm going to update my blog with significant progress, rather than in a set schedule.

"We are the Hammer!"

"Trust in the God-Emperor. But trust your blade, too." Inquisitor Atellus Thrax

So Girlfriend is on vacation until end of the month with her best friend, so that means not bouncing between 2 homes. I need to get the repairs done so I can get my house sold and move in with her, but we are still waiting a little bit (few months).  With her gone I figured it is a great time to get long overdue projects done modeling wise. Plus 10th edition is coming very soon. And I am going all in with my Grey Knights for 10th Ed.   Here is my planned projects:   Grey Kni

Pirate Army - Incubi

These models count as Tortured Warriors with venom swords in my Grimdark death cult army. In 40k lore this is part of an Ynnari army with an emphasis on pirates and banshees. It has a craft world, a wych cult, and a few kabalite bands joining in for kicks.   There's some details to paint in the torture racks, but that will not prevent me from calling these tabletop-ready.   Colors used:   Vallejo dark turquoise ink gw carrosburg crimson turbo dork shi

"I'm an inquisitor. I do not get angry."- Inquisitor Gregor Eisenhorn

So Sunday evening  and Monday during my off time, I spent cleaning the house including my hobby area. I had a load of laundry to move from washer to dryer and while waiting for it to finish washing, I decided to paint since my hobby are was cleaned.  Even with my 5 Paladins on the paint handles I drifted towards paint my Inquisitor Erasmus Cartavolnus model. I still have tons left to do on him plus more pewter Old Inquisition henchmen models, Primaris Psyker (Female) , 3 or 4 squads Inquisitoria

Pirate Army - Corsairs

These models count as Nightmares in my Grimdark death cult army. Alternatively, I can run them as storm squads in High Elf Fleets. In 40k lore this is an Ynnari army with an emphasis on pirates and banshees. It has a craft world, a wych cult, and a few kabalite bands joining in for kicks.   I finished these models (for now) today. I might go back and add more color to the weapons. Not thrilled with the arkhelion green results. These look like the Denver Broncos.  However, they are read

Legion Command Squad

I finally got around to making a decent start on the jetbike command squad for my Iron Hands A WIP shot:      And the final product     The old resin mark three torsos are a bit smaller than the mark six ones that come with the kit, particularly around the waist. Some greenstuff will be needed to fill in a few gaps, but overall it works pretty well.  Edit: Spelling.

First of Many

Greetings! As the blurb says, I'll be talking about all aspects of my hobbying and every army I enjoy for 40k, but for the first blog post...I think its only fair to talk about my first 40k love.   We all had one after all, that first army that caught our attention, and maybe you still have it in your collection.   For me though, it was all about the Tyranids.   So, way back in the mists of time (2001 to be exact) a very young me wanders into a GW store on my o

"Why should I fear the Daemon? He has no power over me."— Brother-Captain Castavor Drak

Well I wanted to get some modeling done the past few days but was not able too. Adulting  . Would not recommend. Zero out of Five stars. Actually it was fun, spending time with girlfriend and her kids, and since she is leaving for a cruise in a week, modeling has to take a back seat for a few days more.    We are  approaching the Call to Arms event, 10th edition drops on 06/24, and possibly more fun things.  My Grey Knights are the most completed of my owned armies, so they will be my
