    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

    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

    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

Back at it!

It’s been a little while since my last update, but I’m back on track! Sadly, my enthusiasm for the 30k project fizzled out with the release of 3rd Edition Horus Heresy. I might circle back to it eventually, but for now, I’ve been taking a break from the hobby to focus on “real life.” As it turns out, I’m also in the process of moving house, which means I’ve been packing up my hobby stuff and let me tell you, I had no idea how many half-built Space Marine kits I had lying around. If you’ve seen m

"Disrupt the Enemy Lines!" Part 18

League game has been delayed.  My Opponent has to work OT the next few weeks, so we are postponing it to next week. So 11 days to get models done.      Assault Squad is getting closer to being done, bases, metallics on weapons, glow effects, highlights, touch ups, decals and weathering. Centurion is really close. base, decals, highlights, touch ups, decals and weathering.  Destroyer Assault squad needs the browns on their pouches and holsters, bases, metallics
Iron and Spirit

Masters of Fire and Steel

When one considers the genetic lineage of the Marines Adamant, as well as their close bond with the Forges of Gharant, it is no surprise that the Iron Wyrds are the most prevalent and influential of the specialist ranks within the Chapter.   Each Household maintains its own personal Armoury of weapons, equipment and vehicles, as well as fleet assets, and it is therefore not uncommon to find as many as a dozen brethren serving their Clan as Iron Wyrds, with a substantial number of Skald
Sven's Hobby

Black Riders Felarch

Felarch of the Marcachi Dubh, vulgarly known as The Black Riders. These piratical Eldar are unusually disciplined and militaristic for ones of their ilk, holding to a martial code of honor and fighting savagely. Led by the Prince Ra’Tar, they have menaced the Eastern Fringe and the galactic halo for a long span. On occasion, however, they have hired themselves out to unscrupulous Imperials as mercenaries or privateers.

Jackal Company

History of Jackal Company: Part Two

With the planetary defence forces neutralised at the landing zone, the betrayal was complete. Jackal Company did not waste a second in turning the crisis to its advantage. Ignoring the scattered pockets of the starved populace still clinging to the exterior habitats, Warsmith Kord ordered the captured Guardsmen to the firing lines, forcing them to turn their guns on their former comrades who didn't know surrender, while the Iron Warriors consolidated the most vital fuel depots.   Kord

Jackal Company

History of Jackal Company: Part 1

The toxic haze clinging to the landing zone of Vosa V began to fracture, yielding to the roar of a descending void craft. It was the Frigate Pillar of Olympia, a hulking mass of grey ceramite scored with the unmistakable yellow and black chevrons of the IV Legion. The vessel settled with an almost seismic impact. Its exhausted plasma conduits vented violently into the polluted air. For a silent, strained moment, the ship loomed, its bulk an oppressive presence, pressing the small assembly of Pla

The characters of Prawa V

Hi all,   Following a suggestion from @W.A.Rorie, I'm going to summarise the main characters in each of the two stories I have written. This came about because I've been posting passages out of chronological order and a mix of the two stories. I hope this helps clear things up. As my readers will know, I do enjoy my languages and will provide some context for their names. The meaning of the names isn't terribly important, but thought it might make a point of interest. I've spent time i

Got more work done Friday than planned  but got no work done yesterday like I wanted too    Going to do this in reverse.... I was on Kid Duty Saturday as wife ran errands and upon returning home she was not feeling well. So I was watching the kids and in charge of dinner. So hobby time was zero. Which was fine since I have to work the next few Sundays and wont be home next Saturday as I have a busy day planned with some Friends/ Co Workers and My League Game. And the following Weekends

"Disrupt the Enemy Lines!" Part 15

My League game (Round 2) is scheduled for the 4th of October so we are 11 days out.  And I need to paint 11 models, which means a model a day.  But I also want to get a start on my next 500 pts for Round 3.    Last night,  I was able to base my assault squad and then prime them Matt Black (Army Painter)     Plan is to do 1st layer of  Greys (flex armor), reds, and whites tonight.  I would have started last night but I am waiting on a new wet pallet pad so I can add

"Disrupt the Enemy Lines!" Part 14

My wife and me are finally recovering from Nurgle's touch....I know we got it from the kids, who did not get sick. Stupid back to school illness.......   So Friday after work I sat down to work on my Athoria Month 2 models. I am adding Jump Centurion, another Assault squad and a Sicaran.  Part of my plan is also get Next Months additon started.    Sicaran is done and has been done since last year:   I was able to build the assault squad.

Veteran Sergeant Talaon Hereus

Lastly, we have the kill team's leader, Veteran Sergeant Talaon Hereus of the Khalkotauroi Chapter.           Yes, I see the mould lines and file marks, too.   The helmet and both shoulder pads come from the Deathwatch kit; the thunder hammer arm comes from the Assault squad kit; the backpack, legs, and torso come from the Tactical/Devastator squad kits; and I don't recall where the bolt pistol arm came from (perhaps the Tactical/Devastator or Assault squad kits).

AM Not-Stygies - A Blog about building a new Army

Augmetics!

Hi Folks,   After a big summer spent on Pointy Ears for CtA25 challenge, I swapped to the World that Was and focussed on my big back log of Night Gobelins. Painting these photosensitive evil dirty little things is not the most difficult color pallet. But batch painting is something common with GObs, and it might become, say, boring (?). After 3 mobs and 2 characters, I needed a break.   I came back to the sociopathic cyborgs. just to be kept busy and change my mind.

Veteran Brother Akurnus Sin-Eshuh

The fifth operative is actually my sixth in the kill team. The Compendium originally provided for a Deathwatch kill team to consist of five operatives, but later dataslates increased that to six. As I mentioned in the introductory entry for this project (here), this isn't going to be a "real" game. Instead, we're playing a mini-tutorial, applying concepts of the Joint Ops rules from the current edition of the game in the 2021 edition of the game, with four players divided into two teams. We migh

A request for my readers

So, firstly, may I take a moment to thank those who have followed my blog and the story of Prawa V. I am truly grateful for your feedback and support. It has spurred me on to continue writing.   Now, for the hard part. I've not received any negative criticism. I would like to invite you to take my writing apart and really lay the hammer down on me. Where am I am going wrong? What doesn't make sense? Which character(s) just doesn't make sense? I ask this because, while positive prais

Ynnari Force

Hi Folks,   This CtA25 challenge has been the event that brought me up to putting the last touches of bruches on my Assuryanii. All factions released are represented in a big Ynnari party. I'd still like to increase a little bit this force with a few units such as Dark Reapers or Wraithblades, but it will not be so soon. I have other project so far.     It is a big army. And some units deserve maybe a little focus.  First come these Corsairs - 3 units of VoidR

Next up is another warrior equipped with a Stalker pattern boltgun. Back in 2022 we had a discussion about the percentage of successor Chapters and their lineage. I was a fairly active participant in that discussion since it's something about which I am relatively interested, and I conducted my own analysis based on the data available to me. The final conclusion that I presented can be seen here. I gave two opinions, each depending upon (a) the number of Chapters prior to the Ultima Founding, an
