    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

    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

    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

Jagieŀŀo inspects their prizes

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.

Kaśnyk licks his wounds

I realise I've not posted a lot of late. Apologies.   This is the follow-up to the Resistance uncovering 329 and Kaśnyk and his squads attempting to prevent them. I'll be honest, not totally satisfied with this, but constructive criticism welcome.   =====   LV-426. The white-red-white livery of 2nd Company. Not a rescue bird but a retrieval asset. The paint was scratched, worn by desert grit, but unmistakable. Even before it touched down, the survivors of Kasnyk's s

The start of my XIVth

Saturine has been ordered and after looking at the leaks, I was torn between Night Lords and Sons of Horus...until I really started thinking about the models I have unbuilt and built for my XIXth Legion. I have 20 Mk III suits, plus 5 Mk III Command squad models, Plus I have a ton of Armor built and some unbuilt, which a lot does not fit the XIXth Legion. So lets look at the Legions I thought about.   Night Lords- I wanted to run a bunch of Terror Squads and after seeing the update I

Searching for the server room

So, I've been enjoying writing my little vignettes for the follow-up story to my story of Prawa V. For those following, you already know 329. I hope you enjoy its redicsovery. I do have a weakness for 329. It, ultimately, dies, buying time for Freja. But, in the meantime, I am happy to let it terrorise people! Also, I do know this board censors naughty words, which is cool, but I have written Łaska to be, say....expressive! She's the only character who swears in my stories, but, if she swears, y

Shaper of Flesh

The Flesh Wyrds of the Marines Adamant are skilled apothecaries and genewrights. Given the independent nature of the Households - each one responsible for its own recruitment and implantation procedures - these masters of Astartes biology are vital to the continued existence of the Clan Companies, and of the Chapter as a whole. As such they are highly respected, a key part of each Warleader's command headquarters. Usually at least one of the Flesh Wyrds from each Company will have a seat when th

Dusting things off

...quite literally! While most of the army has been in a KR case, a few of these figures have been lurking on top of my workspace (the nearest I get to a display cabinet), and have gathered a lot of dust. I'll have to give them a gentle rinse and a scrub.     Pictured above are, from left to right, a standard Legionary; Captain Aethon, Lieutenant Holion and a Standard Bearer; while below you can see two Tactical squads with all the trimmings (banner, commlink and sergeant),

What's counting as what?

This army has – to my shame – lurked in storage; unforgotten but largely unplayed for the past few years. I thought I'd kick off by trying to work out what everything would count as in the new edition, and what, if any, changes need to be made to get it to a playable state.   The army in its short-lived snow-base phase.   The core of the army – as you can see above – has always been Tactical Marines. The impetus behind the whole project was to create an 'army of heroes':

Shooty n' Smashy

Quick WiP post to keep my momentum going Been picking up details and missed base-colors the last couple of days when I have time. I was going to use waterslides for a lot of these details, but they seemed like more work than Free-Handing them so I just went for that. Better practice anyway. I decided I wasn't happy with the yellow tone so I went back through and made it deeper on them. I'm hopeful that I'll have time tonight to get an oil wash done, then its basing and done !

When the abyss stares back

Hi all,   Something a little different today. This is a small vignette from a game world I created some thirty years ago. It is not Warhammer-based, though it is strongly influenced by the mythos of 40K and the original Warhammer Fantasy. It's quite a personal piece. I have struggled with addiction in the past. The whys, wherefores, and whats are not really appropriate for this board, so, respectfully, I won't be discussing them. What I have made, what I have finally summoned the

I did not sit idly by either....Did I work on a My Astartes Call to Arms Vow...No I did not. Did I decide to make another Vow, for Heresy...yes .

CtA25 - Vow 1 - 3rd week progress report

Hi Folks, 3 weeks have passed and died since the launch of CtA25 and I already have a significant progress on my pledge. The first 2 weeks allowed me covering the painting of the Hand of the Archon and my kitbashed Archon. 1 unit per week, as per my usual painting rate when I am fully dedicated.   Yet these last days I progressed significatively shifting all my enlisted vehicles into the “painted” section of the list. Which raised my rhythm to 3 units in one week. Anecdotally

"From the darkness we strike: fast and lethal....."

Designate: Moritat

" Moritat was an unofficial designation given to certain Space Marines of the ancient Legiones Astartes, who displayed suicidal urges and a blatant disregard for overall combat doctrine.   Operating independently on the battlefield, these individuals were often employed as efficient shock assault troops and tactical assassins. From its earliest days, the Raven Guard Legion employed more Moritats than did many others.   The individuals assigned to this duty were ofte
"From the darkness we strike: fast and lethal....."

"Will they ever trust us again?"

A significant portion of the Raven Guard, including some high-ranking officers, joined the Traitor Legions. This betrayal cast a long shadow over the entire Legion, even those who remained loyal to the Emperor, like their Primarch, Corax. The shame and uncertainty the Raven Guard face as they grapple with the actions of their fallen brothers. This betrayal will have lasting consequences for the Raven Guard, making it difficult for them to regain the trust of the Imperium and even to trust themse

Speaker of the Mists

The Spirit Wyrds, colloquially known by many of the Marines Adamant Clans as ‘Storm Walkers’ or ‘Speakers of the Mists’, form the Chapter's Librarius. As such, they are powerful psykers, attuned to the mysteries of the Empyrean and the ways of the countless vaettir of Halstarrig.   The Storm Walkers usually dwell in voluntary isolation from the rest of their brethren on Halstarrig's second moon, and are not technically considered as part of the Chapter's command structure, each Wyrd in

Vastus Feurran

Vastus Feurran, armed with an assault cannon and power fist.   Vastus Feurran is probably my favorite of the models in this series, though that may be due to the fact that the model was also produced in yellow plastic to represent Brother Etrus of the Imperial Fists Chapter (the best Chapter!) in the Space Marine Adventures: Rise of the Orks game.

"Blink, and you will become prey to the shadows."

Well.....It's Call to Arms season and well I am supposed to be painting my 40k Space Marines from the Exorcists Chapter. It has been a rough few weeks, wife's aunt passed away out of state, which became a 30 hour drive across country with our kids for a few days for the service and then 28 hour drive back home. Then Mother in law having some issues which means wife and I need to go back to handle it in a few weeks.  Issues were worse so wife had to leave deal them the other day and will be back

Bad Moonz Rising

Been a while since I've made a post, after the Knives in the Shadow competition, summer has been crazy busy between family and travel and whatnot. I also took a bit of a departure from the grimdark of the far future to dabble in models from a long time ago in a galaxy far away. Not entirely sure on the site policies regarding sharing pictures of other projects/games, so rather than risking an exterminatus on this post I'll limit my content to my current project.    Call to arms is here

Squad Torgrundyr

Hello again,   So, first up, a second squad of Grey Hunters (I know most think they are overpriced for what they bring, but this isn't really a gaming army, just a chance to paint what I think will look cool - and Marine infantry is cool)     As with the first squad, I've tried to create a mix of bits to evoke both their IH heritage (bionics and techy stuff) and their homeworld Halstarrig (feral bits, charms, teeth, etc). I've also used bits and a few conversions to
