    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

    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

    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

Why didn't I think of this before?

Obviously it has been far too long since I first started this blog, and even longer since I first had this idea. I think I have finally decided on the forces for the chess set.   While modern chess sets often feature white versus black, fancier chess sets often feature sides of different colors, including browns and reds. This typically depended upon the materials being used for the pieces. For my part, I've long planned on a red versus black arrangement. My two dilemmas revolved aroun

12 MoH 2026 - a plodding along project

Hi Folks,   Last Xmas I did something I never thought I would: I have ordered some MTO stuff, with the Tectonic drill and some Machinery (crane and so on). FOMO drived me.    Now that this is comited as a purchase, it is time to plan doing something from that materiel. I have bet the delivery will not be so soon, so it leaves time for planning. And the plan that came to my mind was to increase seriously my terrain collection with some elements to define a mining camp/excavati

Tiny Marines make a come back

Hi Folks,   It has been time since I resumed painting of my Epic era Space Marines. Let's say that I am resuming my resumé. This time I set the gear shift up and when beyond just colour testing. I have gone for 2 Companies, one Battle and one Veteran, plus a supporting inquisitor and some DEvastators plus Speeders. This is a good first bunch for 2026 12 MoH.   The battle company has been set with the red paultrons. I have tried to stick to the Adeptus Astartes codex mark

The building uprising of Prawa V

Almost done

I've almost finished the first edit and pass across the first story, Comes the Sandstorm. I am very eager to either paste the whole thing here or pop a link in for your opinions.   This passage is from the next story, One More Mile. It's just a teaser. I'm probably going to be giving away a little too much with this, but it's, to my mind, a powerful scene, when you understand the context (which I am not going to tell you, right now!). Czajka is probably my favourite supporting characte

Loxodon Guard Part 1: In the Beginning...

Have you ever pick up a project based whim? or maybe you were given some models from a loved one and continued on with it?    My Space Marine project started when I won a raffle at my FLGS. my prize was a plastic bag that had a few random sprues in it. I remember there was some Mk3 Horus Hersey Marines, a Beastmen Shaman, a Imperial Guard Commissar (the older one with the plasma pistol & sabre) and 5 Intercessors. I didn't think much of my prize at the time. Until the pandemic hit

Skulking horrors

Now I started my little, though very hungry Tyranid forces. I decided to continue my theme of lizard/zaurus theme I used for my reveners kill team. Reworked a bit skin tone by altering midtone. And make unified for whole force color scheme. Ivory/pinkish belly, new ivory-orange-brownish red scythes/talons/barbs.
The Elrin's XIV Mountain jaggers

Ready.

Astra Militarum models unassembled: 0 Astra Militarum models unpainted: 0   That's all folks! For now I have all my IG minis completed. That's such a great project, I can't remember I was so satisfied earlier in hobby, may be because I'd mostly playing and painting was a tax to pay.       Next batch of Elrins XIV should arrive mid-end of May.

Weekly Update #1

Wanted to keep this a little active so will try and keep up with weekly updates.   Work continues on painting the FateBreakers, I have some details to do on the guardians and also found out I only have 1 unit of bikes actually done. I did find the other squad i had started and added that to the painting table. Also once the weather warms up again I’m going to finish priming the Chaos units to get the Dark Zealots started.   I also confirmed I have the bodies to complete the S

New Fiction: The Return of the Green Knight

THE RETURN OF THE GREEN KNIGHT     The strike cruiser Verdant Oath did not sound a welcoming chime.   The Thunderhawk settled into its cradle amid drifting vapor and cooling metal. From its hold emerged a lone figure clad in black ceramite.   Brother Martin bore the sigil of the Deathwatch upon his pauldron. The Inquisitorial mark still clung to his armor, dull and intrusive, like a scar that refused to fade.   No honor guard awaited him.

Your unusual ogryns are finished... Or not?

Last bullgryn is done, I don't make a story for him, so just the bonehead. I have a great plan for him but failed due to lacklustre of my painting skills. So I make some bloody mess around. And tried new approach for power weapon with blood. It should looks like field burns blood from maul.   Technically squad is done. But I wanna more ogryns and bullgryns. It's like infantry, you just can't have enough. So I'll add more, and each gonna be somehow unique folk.

Any suggestions on how to Paint The Green Templar?

I've picked out a color scheme I like, thought out most of the various markings for ranks.   Black kneepad for basic troopers, gold for Sergeant/Veterans/Lieutenant/Captain   Blue for Librarian   Red for Tech-Priests   White for Apothecarion   The rest of the Armour will match the rest of the army. I never liked the specialists looking radically different from the rest of the force.   These guys keep it simple. They already have gold pa

"Even in Death, I Still Serve!"

Well no hobby time between errands most of the weekend and I did purchase something off Etsy.    Mk IV Upgrade kit for a Redemptor....     And of Course Lascannon arm.    True Scaled Dreadnought coming sooner....   Big Question is how much of this project is salvageable.

The Gnostari Dominion - The Ironkin March

The Solbond Gardhird - the Gnostari head to Crusade!

The Solbond Gardhird The Solbond Gardhird is more than a grudgeband-it is a walking oath, a vow given form in steel and memory. Forged in the aftermath of the Shattered Star’s fall, the Gardhird is composed primarily of Ironkin who carry within their cores the cold fury of that tragedy. Each member, from Hearthkin to Einhyr, fights not for conquest or wealth, but to uphold the sacred charge sworn by the last survivors: no Kin shall die unprotected again. They are High Kahl Trokk the Denier'

Kharvund "Stone-Oath" - Brokhyr Iron-Master

Iron‑Master Kharvund earned the name Stone‑Oath not for stubbornness, but for the unbreakable resolve etched into his very core. One of the last surviving forge‑minds of the Shattered Star Kindred, he personally recovered and reforged the first Ironkin who would become Trokk’s earliest followers. Kharvund carries within him a fragment of the Kindred’s lost Crucible‑data, a memory‑shard he guards with a reverence bordering on the sacred.   In battle, he moves with the deliberate ce

New Year, New Project

Well, 2025 is now in the rear-view mirror, and as expected my hobby time has been rather limited with a newborn and moving house. I’ve finally managed to get the hobby desk set up temporarily for the time being and am eager to get cracking with some painting, but the big question is: on what? As is pretty much standard for me, the Ultramarines project I started last year has fizzled out. I just can’t seem to find the motivation to carry on with it. Something that has become more and more ap

The Night Rovfugl and the Eland

OK, so I said I'd work a little on the Night Rofugl, but got entirely distracted by the encounter at Nowa Avestia after she drops off Barcza and his spec ops team, seen here:      There is a little foreshadowing I have not covered, and that's showing the Valkyrie LV-426, the Eland, resting on a landing pad the day before, so please bear that in mind. Nowa Avestia is the Resistance's headquarters. I know GSC cannot take the Valkyrie, but I think the model's great, so going to bend

New Fiction: The Final Cogitator Entry of Captain Sébastien Yorke

They are the Green Templar: hunters of forbidden relics, executioners of knowledge, and the hammer that keeps the Dark Age of Technology buried forever. Successors of the Salamanders, they strike where the Imperium dares not tread, leaving nothing alive that could betray what they hunt.   FINAL COGITATOR ENTRY OF CAPTAIN SÉBASTIEN YORKE:   They came aboard without ceremony.   No warning chime. No challenge from the augur decks. One moment the Gloria Invictus drifte

Chapter Icon Color Help

Ok, I've decided on a Color scheme for the army, and reduced the weirdness of their lore thanks to some help from @Kabaakaba      They are Salamanders Green with a Black right kneepad. This way Vulcan can slide right in. (He'll have one shoulderpad be the Templar Cross and have a Templar backpack)   But the question I have is, which looks better:    A white background with a Black Templar Cross.... or..       A Black Background with a W

There is can't be enough infantry

Finished all battleline units. There is last blob of twenty and army shoot without vechicles and ogryns who's wip right now.  I wish I finish last two bullgryns and castellan tomorrow. There is very few touches for them. And technically basecoated sentinels who need to be repainted in new( or upgraded colour scheme). That's looks good on the shelf and after I got all remained infantry, which is twice current body count I've got a company.

Conversion Tutorial: Ghetto Stranglewebs for Termagants

Did you buy a load of Leviathan Termagants and are missing out on the strangleweb frame that came out later? Or are you unwilling to drop a load more cash to get some one per unit weapons? I have your solution (as long as you can scrounge a few spare devourers)! With a sharp knife, a bunch of plastic glue and a little dry fitting, you too can have a funnel-web shooter for your numberless hordes!        STEP 1 Get yourself a termagant and make 2 cuts like this - one basic
