    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

    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

Land Raider Proteus

I have also assembled and started painting a Land Raider Proteus fto carry around my Gorgon Terminators (this is the only shot I have of it right now). The Cataphractii Terminators will be in the Phobos so I won't forget which unit is in which transport on the tabletop.    I have to say this is a much nicer kit to put together than the Phobos Land Raider, the parts just fit together much better. I have started painting and will post a photo of the progress soon.

Militia Discipline Master

I have kitbashed up a discipline master for the militia, this guy is made up of 3d printed legs (I do not know the STL I got them from a friend), the laspistol arm from the now OOP Krieg HQ command squad, a closed greatcoat torso, veteran beret head and power axe (all from Anvil), and the Scion coat.      I have had to greenstuff the waist joint a bit as the 3d printed legs were slightly larger than Anvil or old GW Cadian legs but it is not noticeable now that the model has

The Enemy does not sleep, nor shall we. - Chapter I part 2

Marshal Mat Dylon of the Adeptus Arbites 8th Precinct on Khymara Prime sat in the transport area of the wheeled Chimera. Vigilant Squad 83 sat with him. Vigilant Proctor Yin Pliskec was sitting across from Marshal Mat Dylon, his winged helmet on his lap. His black armor, while normally shiny, was showing some damage from a recent encounter against a gang ambush, as was the entire squad. Dented and scarred armour, green fatigues torn.  Vigilant Proctor Pliskec shaved head had beads of sweat rolli

2 games down....Time to shelve Grey Knights for a little bit

Had 2 games this Saturday   1st game Emperor's Children I won 6-2 but was tabled photos can be seen here   2nd Game was against World Eaters, Lost 3-1....severely wounded Dreadknight Geraint choosing to leave the battlefield after turn 2 here   Grey Knights need lots of help. Points are way too high, and damage output too low.  So until Codex is released, they have to be shelved.

The Exorcists- Enochian Guard

The Enochian Guard is an elite formation of Orisons* in the Exorcists Chapter. Making up the Veterans of the Chapter's 1st Company, they typically are equipped with Terminator Armour. The Guard is named after Enoch Trismegistus, the Exorcists very first Chapter Master. The Enochian Guard pride themselves on being Daemon slayers, and membership to its numbers carries a requirement of having slain a manifested Daemon in single combat.   So I keep running the idea of running Exorcist
The Forgotten, a Fallen warband on Crusade

Phase 2 - Game 4

Xaphan lead his Forgotten against the Night Lords, seeking to punish the masters of terror for their ambition and lack of discipline. For the Night Lords terror itself was a goal, thriving on the horrified cries of the enemy and civilians rather than focusing on strategic objectives. The Warmaster and the Forgotten's Grand Master had given the warbands specific goals for the campaign and Xaphan was determined to achieve them. The warlord known as Resk of the Midnight Claw would have to be shown

Tabletop Battlefield Scenics Bastion Tower

Whether as a forward outpost, as part of a defense network or of a larger fortification, this Bastion gives your boots on the ground much needed overview of the area and provides massive protection even for large units when bullets and shells start flying.   One or two of this Bastions will be a great center of your narrative campaign and i believe these will fit perfectly to Asymmetric War Missions from the upcoming Chapter Approved Mission Deck. Be sure to check out all availabe

Planetary Governor Corvin Augulant stood looking out the window in his office. His Deputy Governor Reeta Nirom, was dressed in her PDF Garrison Military attire of the Khymara Air Mobile Cavalry, a Dark Olive Drab Coat, Tan Shirt, Olive Drab pants with Black stripe, the Khymara PDF Air Mobile Cavalry in Black and Olive Drab shield with Dark Olive Drab Aquila as the Shoulder Sleeve Insignia, and her Service Ribbons on her chest. Her black hair done up in bun, her eyes the same color of the sky sto

Blue Stuff testing - an alternative for repairs and missing parts

Hi folks,   As CtA25 is coming, I started refraining my painting activity for anything related to 30/40k or associated universe. Target is to get enough material to gather them in a single faction and try to get them painting while competing for enough points. And, maybe, get a badge. Yet getting painting on standby does not mean getting all other tasks associated with hobby on standby. After all I still have some models to build or kitbash. Plus some plasticard job awaiting. And

"To the void I cast thy blackened soul."

"After a period of recuperation,...."

"....the subjects were instructed in the methods of combating the Daemonic, trained in the use of the 666 verses of the Book of Exorcisms and equipped with the weapons of an Exorcist. The two companies were then put into action on a Daemon-infested world on the northern fringes of the Eye of Terror. With a squad of the Grey Knights held in reserve, the Exorcist Space Marines achieved a kill ratio of 97:1. Impressive under normal circumstances, but against the Daemonic, I'm sure you'll agree that

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

I had said I was done... not yet apparently

Hi Folks,   I though I was done with AdMech, owning now enough models to field a good sized army even at larger game size. Yet it appeared that my project to complete the painting of the last Sicarians ans Sulphurhounds lefts is not going to be the ultimate task related to this faction. I have indeed fallen again into the sin of compulsive buying and have just added these two lads:     The Skatros itself is not that useful in my army structure, as I already have 5

Warhammer World- Nottingham

OMG.......Store #2 of the Honeymoon. WARHAMMER WORLD, such an unreal experience. The exhibit hall, the gaming area, the store, and even with Bugman's being remodeled it was still cool thing.      The Rhino, the Space Marine statue, and LT. Titus such a site to see in person. Yes I am wearing a Grey Knight shirt.    I was shocked to see the Tyranid invasion of Fenris was in the main lobby   one of my favorite pieces in the lobby was this mode

Warhammer- Belfast

So while on a Tour of Northern Ireland, the tour stopped in Belfast for about 2 hours self guided tour and lunch. After Lunch at Hellcat Maggie's, the wife and I were about start walking around Belfast and I made a joke that there should be Warhammer store near by. She laughed said better not be. turned the corner and there it was. Store #6      Store was about the size of my local stores and pretty busy.

Ynnari Priestess - a quick kitbash

Hi folks,   I have decided to refrain from painting anything 40k related for the next 30 days, until the launch of CtA25. yet, in the mean time, it does not mean I have suspended all hobby stuff. Models to be painted require being prepared and built for example.  In this vein, I had this Magus character from the GSC Combat Patrol left. And, as you might know, I do not play GSC (and/or pretend I do not hobby these lads neithers). What can I do with this model if it is not GSC?

The Enemy does not sleep, nor shall we. - Prelude

The planet of Khymara Prime was quiet. While the Hive cities may had some light activity to them, the main city, Khymara Prime Proper, was quiet. Khymara Prime Proper consisted of Imperial Adminstratum buildings, Ecclesiarch buildings and an Adeptus Arbites Precient and the older ruined Imperial buildings. Nothing visible stirred in the buildings, ruined or not. The Convent of the Valorous Heart with it's high walled fence had limited torches lit. The Governess's Palace was dark along with the v

Teleport Strike Countdown: T Minus - 8 Days

Well 2 of my (adopted step) sons had Kindergarten Graduation last night so, instead of an hour+ paint time, I got about 30 minutes. I painted purity seals, scrolls, book pages (I forgot the book on the Brother-Captain's belt), and the browns.            With today being wife's birthday, not sure how much I'll get done tonight but I'll have more time Saturday.

Warhammer- Dublin

At this point on the Honeymoon it has became a hunt for me to find Warhammer stores near our hotel. Originally our plan was to stay at the Zanzibar Locke Hotel in Dublin (99 meters away) but changed it to Trinity City Hotel (850 meters away). This store was about twice the size of my home state stores. But had some really nice models on display. I thought I got a pic of the amazing Iron Snakes that the staff member did.    Store #5
