    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

Shrinking Pile of Shame

Hi Folks,   As some may have read in my previous entries (in this Blog or another) I've moved from my previous location to a new one a couple of months ago. It has been a big opportunity to sort out all bitz, spare parts, unassemnblied, unpainted and unboxed stuff I had in my numerous closets and crates. As my journey to clean my Pile of Shame started during Lock down, I sincerly though I had done most of the job already. Most maybe not in reality but a serious part surely. H

Ornithology

Hi Folks,   I did not plan painting my scourges right now, yet I couldn't help but starting them, mainly for lack of primer rattlecan: I cannot prime anything ang the spures of the scourges were already primed a while ago (Once upon time in a Realm far far away...).    If I set back the true reason of getting these scourge I can list 2 which arrive close at the end of the race: 1. Getting spare parts for kit bashing COrsairs from Guardians body: Special weapons and Carab

Phase 2 - Game 2 (Ouch...)

Opponent - Space Marines (Vanguard) Mission - Strategic Strike   No pictures or real report for this battle, it was a major drubbing. Xaphan and Chosen shot up in the first turn (forgot how many weapons a Repulsor has), Dark Pacts failed for pretty much everything turn 1/2 (managed to half-kill my Predator with two max mortal fails), but my Raptors and bikes did do their Agenda actions so at least I went out sort of on top...   Forgotten lose the battle, 13-5 (Forgotten

Crusade - Game 7 - Practical Archaeology

CRUSADE GAME 7 - TAU VS ELDAR It always starts so well.   We've settled into a two-match Crusade day per month right now, which isn't a lot, but it's better than nothing. We're (almost) all 30-somethings with full time jobs, so it's tricky to get a free weekend. Still, it's more 40K than I've played before we started doing Crusades, so I'll not complain.    Game 7 was against James' Eldar, and it was a damn close one! We absolutely mauled each other over the co

Aether Sailing - Part IV - And now comes the Raider

Hi Folks.   Although I did not benefit from the bank holiday at 100% (Being in a new position I have no day off allowed to complete and extend such vacationnal opportunities atm) I managed to complete the painting of the Raider in a very short time span. I am slowly recovering the production rhythm I had last year at the same date, before moving and losing my hobby space. Temperatures raising allowed me to invade the green house set next to the hhouse, although I shall store my paints

Aether Sailing - Part III - Ravager

Hi Folks,   Even I've started my test model on a Raider, I slowly but surely switched to the Ravager before completion of the former. My vehicle hunter has therefore arrived to port COmpletion earlier than the troop carrier.   This kit has been complicated to assemble once came the moment of the sponsons. By prepainting I affected most of thicknesses for stems and grooves because of too thick layers. Some assemblies required therefore removing paint and or cutting a little bi

The Galgaliem and the Harbonah- Point of the Sword and Knife in the Back

Galgaliem Hunter Cadres They ride machine-steeds of onyx and steel. They are swift and terrible, quickly sending bolts and melta blasts into the face of the enemy before slamming home with chainswords roaring. They are the Galgaliem, the prideful hunters and scouts of the Forgotten.    Long have they ridden their motorcycles, experienced bodies as one with the thundering mounts. They are the heirs to the old knights of Dead Caliban, to the nomadic warriors of Old Terra. It is thei

Tabletop Battlefield Basics Defense Line

As an advanced defensive position or as encampment security perimeter, this very quick to build basic terrain set will find lots of uses on your tabletop. Add security to your Communication Tower,  Landing Platform or Tower Control. Or use them as forward defensife perimeter for your Fortification Wall or Silo Formation.    There are lots of uses for this set and i think, like the Containers, it is basic accessory that should be available to choose from when creating an immersive battl

Aether Sailing - Part II

Hi folks,   Work has progressed these days. Both hulls and sails are now done for the Raider and the Ravager.    The raider is closing to completion, with all main parts done, except the crew. The sailors operating this assault barge are about 50% done, with all base colours applied; detailing will take more time, especially the weapons as I tried new tricks, a.k.a. not painting their tools of death in a single colour... It is a process. So it requires time.

Mødet med nomaderne - Meeting with the nomads

Firstly, my apologies for any errors in my Danish. I am far better at Polish! I hope these three passages help to bring to life the different waves of settlers who arrived on Prawa V over the centuries. I also hope it deepens the mystery of Mona a little. As always, comments, criticism, etc. most welcome. Thank you.   If you're interested in pronunciation, it's Jagiełło (yah - gee - eh - woh - soft G), Stenrik (steen - rik), Kasnyk (cash - nik - yes, I am aware I've missed out the accent

We need to talk about Marek

The vault walls were old steel, streaked with oxidation and reinforced with thick slabs of desert-cut stone. Lamplight traced long shadows across maps, dataslates, and supply manifests scattered over a folding table at the centre of the room.   “They found him slumped in the runner,” she said, voice soft. “Or, at least, what remained. No one heard the shot.”   “They weren’t meant to.” Jagiełło didn’t look up from the slate he was reviewing. He paused. "The round was designed

Aether sailing - Part I

Hi Folks,   It has been a while since I touched to my Dark kins.   My initial motivation was guided by the reinforcement of my (old, very old) Aeldarii army. My plan was to go Ynnarii and add a tactical depth brought by the deep striking Dark Eldars plus some signature units such as Scourges and Mandrakes. The plan was blown away by the Release of the Aeldarii codex. Which left me with some minis unbuilt and waiting in the pile of shame.    I decided it was tim

Phase 1 - The outline

This is a quick outline of what happened during Phase 1 of the campaign. Pics are there, but not great (apologies, I am terrible), and this is more of a stream of concious/AAR that I did for the campaign rather than anything really organized or story-like. I will work on some sort of in-character updates later.     Phase 1 Special campaign rules - Started off at 1k points games, increasing by 250 every two games. Start off with 6XP given to a single character (Xaphan took all

Patrol day 2

Grand Master De Sonnec and Inquisitor Rork, meet with Sgt Magdalene of the Langham 13th. Sgt Magdalene was grizzled old Sgt with white hair, and no nonsense attitude.    The first stop on the patrol was speaking with an Imperial Fist Captain Eaton at the “Tower”. The “Tower” was more of heavily armed and armored Fortress in True Sons of Dorn fashion. The “Tower” was able to defend the entire city if needed. And was also right against the River crossing the city    Next was a vis

The Aftermath

Lieutenant Kasnyk leaned forward, monocle interface flickering green as he parsed the packet’s structure. A transmission, incomplete. Encrypted but within protocol. Origin: Marek Sobczak, Sergeant. Timestamp: early hours, local time. Location: near the southern ridge. That alone should have been routine.   But Marek was dead.   The initial report had come through the PDF relay chain an hour earlier — Sergeant Sobczak found in his runner, chest perforated by unknown fire.

The First Patrol.

After donning his suit of Terminator armor, Grand Master Wilhelmina De Sonnec of the 2nd Brotherhood of Grey Knights met with Ordo Malleus Inquisitor Sasha Rork for a morning meal.   ”We have a long day ahead of us, so please have some nourishment, Grand Master,” requested Inquisitor Rork.   ”yes , ma’am,” replied Grand Master De Sonnec.   Inquisitor Rork briefed Grand Master De Sonnec on the plans of the day. Routine patrol of important areas with the walls of the

This is not The End

So, spoiler for this - this is not the end I plan for my band of Resistance fighters. I was just tinkering with ideas for them, but I thought you might like to see. It's a short passage, but you can see how they are all bonded, even 329 spins up for the fight. Thoughts most welcome.   The sun didn’t rise that morning. Not properly. Just a bruised smear above the horizon, like the sky was ashamed to look us in the eye. We stood in the courtyard — the last open ground before the fallback p

Marek's Report

The wind tore at them as the Valkyrie dropped into the canyon, its engines shrieking against the tight walls. Dust and gravel whipped into the air, reducing the world to a swirling maelstrom outside the armoured glass of the troop compartment. Kasnyk stood, swaying with the turbulence, one gloved hand gripping a restraint overhead as he stared through the side viewport. The canyon was exactly as it had been described in the geological surveys — a deep scar in the desert, sheer cliffs of win

Thunderhawk has arrived

The Grey Knight Thunderhawk touched down safely after launching from the Inquisitorial Black Ship Phoenix. Ordo Malleus Inquisitor Sasha and Grand Master De Sonnec exited the ramp and were met by Inquisitorial Agent Satri. Taking them to the waiting Inquisitorial Chimera, Agent Satri transported them to Inquisition hold Langham for the next few days. The Langham 13 Black Guard greeted the Inquisitor and Grand Master. After getting situated in their quarters, Inquisitor Sasha and Grand Master De

The Iron Duke

This series of three four passages is a lot longer than I have posted in the past and I hope you have the patience to read it. I feel it is quite revealing about our three main character, our Narrator, Mona, and Jagiełło.   Constructive criticism always welcome, of course.   -----   The engineers worked with steady purpose. The charges were placed meticulously, each bundle of explosives hugging the seams and structural weak points where ancient metal met equally anc
