    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

    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

    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

The Gnostari Dominion - The Ironkin March

Grimnyr Eldrun

Grimnyr Eldrun carries a quiet gravity that even the Solbond Gardhird finds difficult to name. Once taken by the Dark Mechanicum during a skirmish gone disastrously wrong, Eldrun vanished into the cold depths of heretek forges where Ironkin minds are broken down, rewritten, or repurposed into abominations. Yet Eldrun did not break. His core‑logic folded inward, sealing itself behind layers of ancestral encryption and oath‑runes so old even the Dark Mechanicum could not decipher them.

A varnishing Warning to you all!

As this came up in a forum thread, here is a little warning and/or let's have a laugh at my misfortune     This is obviously not a 40k model, but it serves the purpose, because it's what I used.    Finished my faction terrain piece for AoS, and as I was going to be handling it a lot, I thought I'll varnish it with my Citadel Munitorum Varnish Spray. 'What could go wrong?' thought I?   Well, the results speak for themselves.        Yeah

Another experiment

I've been tinkering with the audiobook again.   I've had may offers of help with it from all manner of friends both here in the UK and abroad to voice certain characters, and so on. Always open to new ideas, guys.   In the meantime, I have been friends with a singer since high school. She does alright for herself and I'm going to call her Victoria, her real name. Sh'es done a couple of samples for me she's happy for me to use at the end of chapter and all that.   Th

The story Grows

Beta Dala - Giving reason to the Imperial Fists and the Deathwatch chapter.   I wanted a DeathWatch group composed of Imperial Fist successor chapters (for Kill Team).  And I am tieing it into the other stories I was writing.    So once I finish Space Hulk, Death Watch it is!  And I will try to make them AoD kill team compatible, or I just need more minis.       To: Chapter Master Gregor Dessian, Lord of the Imperial Fists Location: The Phalanx, Strategium Ana

Gardenhammer - messing about with what 11th rules we have

My son - who talked me into this journey to Birmingham - is visiting and we have been talking a lot of warhammer. Meanwhile its a heatwave here in the UK   So with getting the Aeldari preview yesterday and having seen the stream games we decided to test out a few ideas we have about how 11th will play. This was not going to be a real 11th game - we simply don't know all the rules - but the idea was to test out some thoughts we have had on the table with the information (and some educat

Hunting Bigger Prey

Got in two Combat Patrol games this week. Both against the Armigar Trailblazers. Now originally I thought the armigar one was one of the stronger ones, but after this bout, not so sure anymore.   First game was Scorched Earth and I was using the Stormglaive Hunters. Subatan had the Master Rider Enhancement and selected the kill warlord secondary. Opponent got first turn but due to terrain didn’t have any shots. They did move the warglaive (warlord) forward to get ready to capture the A

Decision has been made...

... but is it that surprising? I have decided keeping my only test and the Nemesis claws has been issued in a whitish scheme.   Thepainting process has not been that complicated once the recipe described in the previous blog entry has been validated. The dry bruched white gives an overall aspect that is dirty enough to fit to the idea of a unit of CSM cut from its logistical support and counting on resilience of its material rather than spare parts.    I use as an excuse this

Inquisitors from the 80s and 90s.

Some Chaos time

While I was out of action as a player for family reasons a whole new game centre opened up nearby, so I decided to try them out and signed up for their regular Thursday evening session   Turns out one of the players has been paired with a Kroot list for his first game of the Bristol Super-major. A match made in heaven. So I went for a practice game against Jason and his Tzeentch chaos daemons. His list is Scintillating Legion: Belakor, Kairos, a couple of lords of change with enhanceme

Touch and Go!

Well I'm back from Louisiana....12 hours later than expected thanks to weather, flight delays, and choosing to drive home. We got home yesterday and we leave tonight for Florida for cruise. Enough time to change clothes out in luggage, get a day of work in, and leave. Seriously feels like a touch and go.       While in Bossier City, Louisiana I did hit up to gaming shops. Disclaimer - Now I will say maybe I did not go to the right stores, but the 40k Products was found lackin

The Patriarch Ascendant - Ghost Ship

Introduction:     The world of Beta Dalas had once been a loyal hive world of the Imperium, its towering manufactorums feeding the endless wars of mankind. Beneath its cathedrals and refinery stacks, however, corruption had taken root. Inquisitor Broman uncovered a vast Genestealer Cult hidden deep within the underhive, worshipping the so-called Four-Armed God. Before the cult could rise openly, Broman transmitted an emergency astropathic plea to the Imperial Fists. The First Company’s

Genestealer colors comming together.

Locked in on the Genestealer color. I think they are starting to look good. Still need to paint the claws and other details on many. Highlighting needs to get done, but they have the right color scheme. They were varnished for this picture. 1/3 gloss, 2/3 matte. I like how they look. Finish them up, then on to bases.   So need to clean them up, get them highlighted.  Then base a lot of them and do the bases.  But moving along.  Considering they have been l

Colour testing

Hi folks.   Title says it all. Or pretend saying it all as it is far from being a full testing, being reduced to a single recipe. The purpose is therefore more about convincing myself than choosing between different options.   Convincing myself about??? About paint CSM in white. I do not play CSM in regular 40k but I own some sprues of CSMs I have recovered 2 or 3 years ago as part of the Nemesis Claw+Mandrakes Kill team bundle. And these lads were unassemblied until last Sun

Not GSC - But anyhow painting a pure GSC unit...

Hi folks,   I do not play GSC. But I am painting some units that belong to GSC faction. And I am not refeering to AM proxies kitbashed from GSC Neophytes. No, I refer to GSC units that cnnot hide or occult their affiliation, except in the shadows and with heavy robes...   My Acolytes were part of a Patrol box I bought with a very big discount: my purchase was less than the cost of a neophyte + Goliath truck and left me with a Magus, Acolytes and Aberrants for free.

New Hunt, Old Prey

So due to a burst of ‘inspiration’ and some time off I managed to get the Stormglaive Hunters pretty much done. I say pretty much cause I realized a bit after I took the group shot that I had not actually painted the Outrider Sgt chainsword and in the few days lost it…. Well they are pretty much done and we got into a battle.    Stormglaive Hunters (Storm Warriors)   So there is a FLGS like a few blocks from my house that has their 40k day on Thursday.

First go at Droog Boyz

I wanted to de-clutter the figures and give them all bowler hats and jock straps.  I already had some milliput and tried making bowlers with it but it was quite friable (?)…crumbly.  I bought a strip of greenstuff and gave that a go.  It’s really tricky to handle.  It doesn’t crumble but either gets sticky or, if you use water on your fingers and tools it gets very slippery.  There is eventually a sweet spot after some working with it.  I tried making a small brim first to add a dome on top but

Building the final units (Ninth Verse, Pale Wake, Orren Malith)

The final building portion of my CSM journey has been completed! Got the bits to make the Ninth Verse Chosen for the Ebon Word, and the Pale Wake Legionaries and Orren Malith the Dark Apostle for the Shrikeborn. Once my Votann are finished (down to a Land Fortress, 2 Sagitaurs, and a Grimnyr), I should be starting on these bad boys.   The Ninth Verse Chosen of the Ebon Word, decided to make them very much Iconoclasts and destroyers of the Imperial Lie, so all armed with smas

The fifth Beatle

a.k.a. The Pentarchy of Death – part II   Hi folks.   1+1+1+1 does not make 5. This statement looks obvious, doesn’t it? So when I have targeted a gathering of the 5 Tier 1 Dramatis Personae of the Ynnari narrative arc, it was obvious that the missing fifth Beatle will have to show up some day. And that day has come.   After some hesitation and introspection about my purchasing behavior (See [here]), I have finally had that “leap of procurement”. And Yriel has been
