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
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
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
W.A.Rorie gave me a lot of great ideas for the Apothecary and Tech Marine, so huge shout out to them!
So the only Apothecary in Terminator armor I could find was an old Dark Angels one!
Looks pretty good, has an Apothicary symbol on their shoulder so I was sold. I also order some Dark Angels apothecary on bike bits to add more to the model! I said I wouldn't over do it, so was keeping the model clean.
Now the Dark Angels Apothicary is the old scale
So the Imperial Fists:
I purchased what I thought I needed (and a bit more)

So I started assembling the army in a more traditional (to me) way. Priming on the sprue, the assembly was difficult. Having to strip the paint where the model was joined.
So I pivotted, as I mentioned, I bought the airbrush and figured I would follow the YouTube videos. It was a lot easier. For the Apothecary I used blue tack to block areas.
Nor for the Imperial Fists yo
Hey guys!
I have been working on my setting some more and I have come up with a few character profiles of the shakers and mover with in the Dengamar System and Greygar Sub-Sector. Here's Lord Inquisitor Lanto Dannyrer

The Greymanes do not have Blood Claws, as they cannot afford to waste even a middling prospective Astartes. Instead, more experienced brothers, whose proficiencies lie in close quarters combat, take up the roles that Blood Claws would in other Chapters of the Russ lineage. These duguthi are odd sorts — impetuous, but measured.
Ok, I haven’t forgotten about this, just been a little busy.
So I did two more training CP bouts. I got to use the Medusan Reboubt against the Vanghast Swarm. Not much to it, the turrets took out the psychophage pretty much turn one and the heavy intercessors held their own against the rest of the swarm. I split the squad into two squads of five and sent them to take the two no-man land objectives. One group took the charge from the leapers and held. The other held their own against
I have started this project multiple times in the past. Collecting Genestealers, putting together terminators and more. But usually I would complicate the idea so much that it would get to be to much for me, and time or attention span would not be up to the task.
This time I decided on a couple of quick rules.
Keep the list as simple as possible
I would get lost in magnatizing the marines, or hand carving/building the Space Hulk terrain, and it would just take too lo
The first four units in this project are table-ready: Ballistus Dreadnought, Terminator Squad, and two Assault Terminator Squads.
Because the chapter was created to fight alongside the Adeptus Mechanicus, there is some of their iconography. The marine interred in the Dreadnought was a Techmarine, so that iconography is added heavily to that model in particular.
This is all a learning experience for me. I've been painting for a long time, but I've never thought of myself
Hey guys!
I have more additions to the Dengamar Strife story/setting I'm building. Continuing on after the Dumir’s coup. We learn the Imperium's response:
I will be posting some character profiles over the coming days to fill in some of the back story of these characters. So expect to be seeing those, until then!
Well, it's been a while! I've been busy with other projects, but now the weather is improving, I really want to get back to my Marines Adamant!
With that in mind, I've finally finished a centre piece build for the army, my Logan Grimnar counts as…

As you can see, he's built from Caanok Var, with a multitude of SW bits and a fair bit of scratch built plastic and GS sculpting, not least of which getting a high enough scenic bas
Just a quick layout of my current, in-progress units for my CSM. Leaders will have what they are in-game after their name/title, units will have their loadouts after their name. Sub-leaders are two categories- for the Ebon Word they are members of a kill-team/trainee-style leaders that do not have full lore breakdowns. For the Shrikeborn, sub-leaders are unit champions who will have full lore breakdowns. The split comes because the Ebon Word is very character/leader-heavy, where the Shrikeborn h
They advance as if the air itself were listening
each footfall a syllable, each breath a vow
No haste, no fury
only the cold cadence of certainty
A choir that knows the ending before the first note sounds.
Blades rise like scripture being recited
bolters speak in measured, punishing refrain
Where the Ninth Verse strides, doubt curdles into terror
they do not fight to win but to affirm what they already believe.

Where the Dire Catechists walk, your faith dies screaming.
The breakers of idols, the hammers of false light
Our steps unmake creeds, our voices drown hymns
Shrines crumble beneath our litanies of ruin
Priests fall silent beneath the weight of Truth
Where we tread, belief is shattered to dust
We are the Dire Catechists, and faith dies before us

We are the thunder of the Word made iron
Our steps resound with the weight of broken creeds

We are the fire that speaks when all false tongues fall silent
The storm that drowns the hymns of the Corpse‑Throne
The verdict of the Eightfold Path
Where we tread, sanctuaries tremble and crack
Where we aim, idols fracture beneath the Word’s command
We carve truth into stone with thunderous decree
We unmake the lies that dared call themselves holy

Hello Traitors and Villains
So If you have been following the lore of the Bloody Grey (if not click here ), you'll know that the Blood Grey were once known as The Grey Regulars. Their corruption happen at the hands of The Blood Speaker Cult (More lore click here ) the Cliffsnotes version is that The Bloodspeakers are a secret cult that has operated along time on the planet Dengamar Prime. Trying to influence Dengamar’s ruling houses, often through subtle means like dream implantatio
I am the loss of hope
I am the Bringer of the Old Faith
Chaos is in me and I worship the Truth
Your worlds will fear my blade
Your bones will splinter at my steps
My warriors will shatter your walls and spill your blood
Your great works will be cast down and shown for the follies that they are
Chaos is all and we are the Word of Chaos
The Corpse-Emperor sits on his throne dying
The Four gather and grow
The Despoiler calls the Legion
Sing the coming of the Chaos Gods
Glory to the Dwellers in the Depths
The Iscarne approaches
Iscarne, Iscarne, Iscarne!
The Uziren lead us to the truth
Praise the Golden One for the Word
The Iscarne in his shadow
Iscarne, Iscarne, Iscarne!
He strides down the Eightfold Path with burning footsteps
He is the Thrice-Born, the deified lord of the Host
Born once on Colchis, the desert world of faith and old gods
Born again on Khur,
I have seen the failings of the False Emperor
For I walked in the ashes of Monarchia
Tasted the ashes of the perfect city
I have born witness to the Urizen's truth
For I was a pilgrim in the Eye
Gaze widened by the glory of the unknown
I hold the burning truth in my breast
For my might is the might of the Word
Power given by the mastery of the Warp
For Chaos, the Masters of All
For Lorgar, the Golden Prophet
For Abaddon,
The blessed Erebus states:
Honored are those with the Sight,
for they pierce the veil of the real and the spirit
Damned are those who turn from the Four,
for they will find no succor in death

Blood bound for the Four
Blood born is the Golden One
