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.

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
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
Some pics of some warlock skyrunners I started on Wednesday. I seem to be working back to front.
These are rescues so didn't do the build.
Colors used:
turbo dork shifting sounds
GW eshin gray blended with GW mechanical gray
Vallejo gloomy violet wet blended with Vallejo light gray
Comments and criticism welcome.
Thanks for looking.
Greetings,
Unfortunately, my work trip has taken a turn. I am now dealing with a family medical emergency in a foreign country and it looks like my return date may not be the 22nd of June.
Obviously my focus is on my family member's health crisis at this time. All inquiries, and indeed all order shipments will be replied to as I am available, until my eventual return to the office and full availability.
If you have an outstanding order and would like to cancel at this time,
Pics of my "finished" succubus. She'll be leading the witches at every opportunity.
After she survives a battle, I'll paint the whip spikes and golden rings on the trophy rack.
Thanks for looking.
To showcase what somebody of average ability can do with the upcoming TTCombat Paints, I present my first Ultramarines in their current WIP state.
Yes, they are all in Subassemblies. I'm also going to be adding my progress once my Leviathan box arrives. I'm going to update my blog with significant progress, rather than in a set schedule.
So Girlfriend is on vacation until end of the month with her best friend, so that means not bouncing between 2 homes. I need to get the repairs done so I can get my house sold and move in with her, but we are still waiting a little bit (few months). With her gone I figured it is a great time to get long overdue projects done modeling wise. Plus 10th edition is coming very soon. And I am going all in with my Grey Knights for 10th Ed.
Here is my planned projects:

These models count as Tortured Warriors with venom swords in my Grimdark death cult army. In 40k lore this is part of an Ynnari army with an emphasis on pirates and banshees. It has a craft world, a wych cult, and a few kabalite bands joining in for kicks.
There's some details to paint in the torture racks, but that will not prevent me from calling these tabletop-ready.
Colors used:
Vallejo dark turquoise ink

So Sunday evening and Monday during my off time, I spent cleaning the house including my hobby area. I had a load of laundry to move from washer to dryer and while waiting for it to finish washing, I decided to paint since my hobby are was cleaned. Even with my 5 Paladins on the paint handles I drifted towards paint my Inquisitor Erasmus Cartavolnus model. I still have tons left to do on him plus more pewter Old Inquisition henchmen models, Primaris Psyker (Female) , 3 or 4 squads Inquisitoria
These models count as Witches in my Grimdark death cult army. In 40k lore this is part of an Ynnari army with an emphasis on pirates and banshees. It has a craft world, a wych cult, and a few kabalite bands joining in for kicks.
I'm generally pleased with the results here. Colors used are:

Slow progress but iv been doing some work on my imperium mag captain and now getting to the stage where im enjoying painting it as it feels like its getting somewhere. Have forgotten how i used to do skin so much work needed there.
These models count as Nightmares in my Grimdark death cult army. Alternatively, I can run them as storm squads in High Elf Fleets. In 40k lore this is an Ynnari army with an emphasis on pirates and banshees. It has a craft world, a wych cult, and a few kabalite bands joining in for kicks.
I finished these models (for now) today. I might go back and add more color to the weapons. Not thrilled with the arkhelion green results. These look like the Denver Broncos. However, they are read
I finally got around to making a decent start on the jetbike command squad for my Iron Hands
A WIP shot:
And the final product
The old resin mark three torsos are a bit smaller than the mark six ones that come with the kit, particularly around the waist. Some greenstuff will be needed to fill in a few gaps, but overall it works pretty well.

Greetings!
As the blurb says, I'll be talking about all aspects of my hobbying and every army I enjoy for 40k, but for the first blog post...I think its only fair to talk about my first 40k love.
We all had one after all, that first army that caught our attention, and maybe you still have it in your collection.
For me though, it was all about the Tyranids.
So, way back in the mists of time (2001 to be exact) a very young me wanders into a GW store on my o
Well I wanted to get some modeling done the past few days but was not able too. Adulting . Would not recommend. Zero out of Five stars. Actually it was fun, spending time with girlfriend and her kids, and since she is leaving for a cruise in a week, modeling has to take a back seat for a few days more.
We are approaching the Call to Arms event, 10th edition drops on 06/24, and possibly more fun things. My Grey Knights are the most completed of my owned armies, so they will be my
So after looking at display case in preparation for the Call to Arms Event, I am going to do Grey Knights.
Need to paint:
1 point per model: 2 6 man Terminator squads, 1 single terminator for another squad, the other half of my 10 man Paladin squad, 5 man Paladin squad, 11 Purifiers, 5 Interceptors, 2 5 man Purgation- (49 points total)
3 points per model: MK IV Venerable Dreadnought, Castellum Dreadnought, 3 Nemesis Dreadknights- (15 points total)
4 points per model: A
Well the Call to Arms event has been announced here and now I have 1 month to decide on my pledge. I know it will be Imperium, but will it Adepta Sororitas (lots of stuff primed), Grey Knights (mainly Land Raiders left to build and some units to paint), or Raven Guard/ Raptors (Raptors have some paint so should be eliminated, but Raven guard is on the sprue.)
Really I am leaning to towards my Grey Knights as well they are the most painted of my armies plus I have 5 Land Raiders and a
These images shall be the grand opening of my blog. I finally managed to finish the Eradicators from Indomitus box. I'm trying to get more marines painted as we come closer to 10th edition and the release of another (pretty massive) box set.
So over the bank holiday weekend, I found myself with a bit of unexpected hobby time and as it was too hot in the conservatory where my painting desk is I decided to do some kit bashing instead of painting.
One unit that I won't to add to this project was a Judiciar as I like the idea of a chaplain in training, however I'm not a massive fan of the GW model so I decided to dive into the bits box and see about making my own version.
I wanted the conversion to be easily iden
Well some time has elapsed and miniature hobby time is at a minimum due to other interests. Spring time has trout season opener where you walk hundreds of miles of river banks or hike through bush reaching that back lake that hasn't seen a person in 6 months ( and very few people ever see it period) or you try on that ninja suit and hope that a Turkey has terrible eyesight and gets close enough for you to tag out. Spring is also a good time to go out rock hounding and Ramp and Morel (ramps are w
Introduction
The Anvilbreakers are the 2nd Tactical Squad of the Salamanders 2nd Company, standing at seven members as of 884M41. They are experienced in fighting xeno warbands in close quarters, and would become instrumental in breaking the Ork and Steel Reaver sieges on Dakota Minor.

The squad takes their name from a lesser known Nocturnean fable that describes a compulsive and overachieving blacksmith. The story
Well, it didn't take that long for me to add another project
Here's the first mini for a burgeoning Solar Auxilia force.
This is a plasma gunner for a companion section in the command tercio, the antenna behind his head is from the vox interlock.
Parts list (all Anvil):
Gothic void torso (plain back)
Field radio
Gothic void helmet
Void suit arms (rifle stock)
Ion rifle
Void suit legs

I've started working my way through the pile of resin from Anvil
First up is a discipline master
This is the Iron Corps officer model, which comes with a choice of head; the one shown above or a pickelhaube with mustache. I really like this sculpt as he stands out from the regular infantry but with the armoured and cloth textures he'll fit in with the rest of the force (particularly when painted).
Next up is an ogryn boss:

There's nothing about this entry that's not fantastic. The lore is so fun, the Saturnine is used beautifully as an obliterator proxy, but the real stars are those Servitors! I love armies where the centerpieces have character, and the Keeper of Ledgers is flanked by two of the most characterful models I've seen in ages.
Paint-wise, I really admire the dried and crumbly sense of age you've been able to convey. I feel like dirty models are often heavily washed and feel "wet." Yours see
