    By Bouargh

    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

    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

    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

More kit bash time - the Voidreaver

Hi folks,   I still have available Guardians body that scream out for being used. After tooling up 5 of these into Rangers, it is time to make even more. This time with Voidreaver in the target line. This kitbash is in my mind for a while now and has been the reason for buying a Voidscarred box a while ago. This box by the way still needs to be built up, but this is for a next move.   Game wise, the idea is to get one of more scouting units able to move forward the battle lin

Kit bash time - the Ranger

Hi Folks,   Within the bitz management policy I've tried to set, one of the directions I was planning to work on was increasing my Saim-Hann with an additional unit of Rangers. In fact I wanted to do some Corsairs' Ghostwalkers. I imagine a good colour scheme would help. Yet I think I will stick to the Saim-Hann red livery.    The kit-bash has been based on old ooP Guardian bodies and spare parts from Rangers and Shroudrunners. At the moment, some finishing touches

Changes are a foot.....for hobby area

Well I finally bought my new self healing cutting matt.      Well my original was 18" x 24" and I was planning on getting the same one but there was some confusion between my wife and me so I end up with the 24" x 36". Plus $21.00 off is huge bonus.  Unfortunately 12' depth proved to be a slight issue and means desk has to redone.  As my wife said "you need more shelves and for your desk to be rearranged."   Looking at Michaels.com I found these  but was 40% off.

Godwyn Bullroarer, Cyning of the Greymanes

Barely surviving his daring escape from the Chaos gulag world of Gharus XI, due to the interference of Warsmith Tarn and his Terminator retinue, the wounded Godwyn Bullroarer was dragging bleeding into the Webway by his Eldar Outcast compatriot, Niall Wayleaver. When they emerged from that labyrinth of subspaces, the two found themselves in no less danger, having exited the Webway on Fenris, home of the Space Wolves. There, in a isolated corner of the continent Asaheim, the injured Cyning was fo

707th Expeditionary Fleet

A Story of Death or Victory- The Angels of the XIXth Legion Raven Guard Pt2

Chapter 2      The 707th Expeditionary Fleet traveled through the Warp from the Khymara Sector to Warzone Tarkath, Dravik Maw's System. I, Remembrancer Landon Mar-Garet, have been spending a lot of time with XIXth Legion Chaplain Luang Pu. I was on Paraxia in what would become know as the First Defense of Praxia. I was there when the XIXth Legion armored forces led a force of Custodes, XIIth Legion, and Vth Legion against the Forces of the IVth Legion, XVIIth Legion, and the forces of

A Saim-Hann Vanguard patrol - a CtA25 completed vow

Hi Folks,   After a forced break into my paint job (temperatures raised too much for one week and paint was drying so fast on the brushes that it was just impossible to make anything decent (and/or with an aspect that wasn’t the one of a crusted pie…). I therefore stopped for a while, waiting for more decent temperatures. It has been a little bit of a challenge to overcome the frustration as the work to be done was limited to final touches on a single miniature, my Wayleaper Autar

Kill Team - Outreach

One Thousand Chapters

This kill team will consist of two Deathwatch fire teams. I'm going to limit the number of official Chapters that are represented, however, focusing on more obscure official Chapters and DIY Chapters of my own creation. In all likelihood, I'm going to revert to the original color scheme that we used for the Legio, as seen on this model painted by @Chronophague in 2003:     That version of the color scheme featured the black armour, red helmet (you can see it hung on his belt

A Story of Death or Victory- The Angels of the XIXth Legion, Raven Guard Pt1 (Updated)

Chapter I       I often pondered how I would start this tale, but I could never find the words to start. I have tons of notes on things I have seen and heard before and after the battles took place. I saw the wounded, the dead, and the dying on the flight decks of the various ships in the 707th Expeditionary Fleet. I watched Astartes leave and never return. The transports returning damaged if they returned at all.  I once saw a battle unfold before my eyes, it was battle that should no

Origin of an obsession

Hi Folks, Another week, another progress report for CtA25. Although my second vow in the Xenos faction is not yet completed, it is closer of its ending than of its beginning. Indeed, after completing some Warpspiders last Saturday, I finally started working on the hoods, heads and weapons of the Shroudrunners which were set on standby for 3 weeks. I expect completing them in a couple of days, even if they are far from being what I consider as a good paintjob of mine while comparin

The Bloodied Fist, Tyrant of Ka-Sil

Warleader Fingil Bloodfist was one of the most infamous and feared commanders that the 4th Household ever had. After he proclaimed himself Chapter Master of the Marines Adamant, his fellow Warleaders revolted, turning their weapons against him in a brutal assassination attempt.   Though Fingil lost his grip on the position of Warlord, his bloody-minded stubbornness kept him clinging to life. Unbeknownst to the rest of the Chapter, the Iron and Flesh Wyrds of the 4th Household had his r
Kill Team - Outreach

What's all this, then?

Long story short, I'm preparing to play a game of the 2021 edition of Kill Team with three players who have never played any edition of Kill Team. We're going to adapt the Joint Ops rules from the current edition of Kill Team, sort of. The Joint Ops rules allow each player to take half of their normal kill team. This works fine with most of the factions since they use two fire teams - each such player would only use one fire team. Each of the Space Marine kill teams, however, consists of a singl

“Disrupt the Enemy Lines” part 4

“**Warzone Tarkath** * Dravik’s Maw System *   Once a dumping ground for dead fleets and rusted war machines, Dravik’s Maw now fuels the Tarkath war fronts with scrap munitions and jury-rigged armor. Its forge-slums and salvage gangs strip anything that still holds a charge, shipping parts to the system’s forges.

Tangling razor cutting webs

Hi Folks,   It looks like I recovered a painting rhythm worth of the one I had during lock-down. Indeed, I completed a new squad into something like 3 days again. This time we talk of Warp Spiders. These Spidey’s fan boyz (and girlz) were pre-painted separating them into 4 batches: Bases, Bodies, Warp Generators and Weapons. Then they underwent final assembly. This is where the things went less comfortable. I must admit I did my clipping poorly and mixed parts that do not cor

Being a Tournament Organiser for my Games Group

From Then to Now

In late 2022, a friend would introduce to the world of Warhammer 40K when he showed me the games club he attended every week. I've been a part of this games group since then, getting into 40K, as well as Necromunda, and more recently, Age of Sigmar. The club for the last few years has held a 40K tournament, around October-early December each year, with different people running it. A few months ago, at the club's AGM, I got to be put in charge of the club's tournaments for this financial year.

Scyther Squad! The Greater Good Chooses You!

With the Wrecka Crew completed its time to move onto what's next, and since Call to Arms is still going on and I've got more kill teams to paint, its time for the Vespids!    A few years ago I painted up the tau pathfinder kill team in a comic-book/cell-shaded style. I was very happy with the results and love the way they look...unfortunately I don't particularly enjoy playing them so they rarely hit the table.

RIP Self Healing cutting mat....You did your job....

Well it is a sad day...my self healing cutting mat is done for...once I buy a new one.  All because a Bottle of Extra Thin Super glue cracked in multiple places and glued stuff down.    So went to my FLGS that is closing at the end of the month, which will be another blog post in itself, to say goodbye to the owner and pick up some debonder.  While purchasing the debonder, one of the employees said Extra Thin Super Glue bottle crack on you? I said yes and he said I am hearing that a lo
